10 Changes between 1.1.1 and 3.0.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
11
12 *) All of the low level Blowfish functions have been deprecated including:
13 BF_set_key, BF_encrypt, BF_decrypt, BF_ecb_encrypt, BF_cbc_encrypt,
14 BF_cfb64_encrypt, BF_ofb64_encrypt, and BF_options.
15 Use of these low level functions has been informally discouraged for a long
16 time. Instead applications should use the high level EVP APIs, e.g.
17 EVP_EncryptInit_ex, EVP_EncryptUpdate, EVP_EncryptFinal_ex, and the
18 equivalently named decrypt functions.
19 [Matt Caswell]
20
21 *) All of the low level CAST functions have been deprecated including:
22 CAST_set_key, CAST_ecb_encrypt, CAST_encrypt, CAST_decrypt,
23 CAST_cbc_encrypt, CAST_cfb64_encrypt and CAST_ofb64_encrypt
24 Use of these low level functions has been informally discouraged for a long
25 time. Instead applications should use the high level EVP APIs, e.g.
26 EVP_EncryptInit_ex, EVP_EncryptUpdate, EVP_EncryptFinal_ex, and the
27 equivalently named decrypt functions.
28 [Matt Caswell]
29
30 *) All of the low level Camelllia functions have been deprecated including:
31 Camellia_set_key, Camellia_encrypt, Camellia_decrypt, Camellia_ecb_encrypt,
32 Camellia_cbc_encrypt, Camellia_cfb128_encrypt, Camellia_cfb1_encrypt,
33 Camellia_cfb8_encrypt, Camellia_ofb128_encrypt and Camellia_ctr128_encrypt.
34 Use of these low level functions has been informally discouraged for a long
35 time. Instead applications should use the high level EVP APIs, e.g.
36 EVP_EncryptInit_ex, EVP_EncryptUpdate, EVP_EncryptFinal_ex, and the
37 equivalently named decrypt functions.
38 [Matt Caswell]
39
40 *) Removed include/openssl/opensslconf.h.in and replaced it with
41 include/openssl/configuration.h.in, which differs in not including
42 <openssl/macros.h>. A short header include/openssl/opensslconf.h
43 was added to include both.
44
45 This allows internal hacks where one might need to modify the set
46 of configured macros, for example this if deprecated symbols are
47 still supposed to be available internally:
48
49 #include <openssl/configuration.h>
50
51 #undef OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED
52 #define OPENSSL_SUPPRESS_DEPRECATED
53
54 #include <openssl/macros.h>
55
56 This should not be used by applications that use the exported
57 symbols, as that will lead to linking errors.
58 [Richard Levitte]
59
60 *) Fixed an an overflow bug in the x64_64 Montgomery squaring procedure
61 used in exponentiation with 512-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are
62 affected. Analysis suggests that attacks against 2-prime RSA1024,
63 3-prime RSA1536, and DSA1024 as a result of this defect would be very
64 difficult to perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH512
65 are considered just feasible. However, for an attack the target would
66 have to re-use the DH512 private key, which is not recommended anyway.
67 Also applications directly using the low level API BN_mod_exp may be
68 affected if they use BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
69 (CVE-2019-1551)
70 [Andy Polyakov]
71
72 *) Most memory-debug features have been deprecated, and the functionality
73 replaced with no-ops.
74 [Rich Salz]
75
76 *) Introduced a new method type and API, OSSL_SERIALIZER, to
77 represent generic serializers. An implementation is expected to
78 be able to serialize an object associated with a given name (such
79 as an algorithm name for an asymmetric key) into forms given by
80 implementation properties.
81
82 Serializers are primarily used from inside libcrypto, through
83 calls to functions like EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
84 PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() and similar.
85
86 Serializers are specified in such a way that they can be made to
87 directly handle the provider side portion of an object, if this
88 provider side part comes from the same provider as the serializer
89 itself, but can also be made to handle objects in parametrized
90 form (as an OSSL_PARAM array of data). This allows a provider to
91 offer generic serializers as a service for any other provider.
92 [Richard Levitte]
93
94 *) Added a .pragma directive to the syntax of configuration files, to
95 allow varying behavior in a supported and predictable manner.
96 Currently added pragma:
97
98 .pragma dollarid:on
99
100 This allows dollar signs to be a keyword character unless it's
101 followed by a opening brace or parenthesis. This is useful for
102 platforms where dollar signs are commonly used in names, such as
103 volume names and system directory names on VMS.
104 [Richard Levitte]
105
106 *) Added functionality to create an EVP_PKEY from user data. This
107 is effectively the same as creating a RSA, DH or DSA object and
108 then assigning them to an EVP_PKEY, but directly using algorithm
109 agnostic EVP functions. A benefit is that this should be future
110 proof for public key algorithms to come.
111 [Richard Levitte]
112
113 *) Change the interpretation of the '--api' configuration option to
114 mean that this is a desired API compatibility level with no
115 further meaning. The previous interpretation, that this would
116 also mean to remove all deprecated symbols up to and including
117 the given version, no requires that 'no-deprecated' is also used
118 in the configuration.
119
120 When building applications, the desired API compatibility level
121 can be set with the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT macro like before. For
122 API compatibility version below 3.0, the old style numerical
123 value is valid as before, such as -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L.
124 For version 3.0 and on, the value is expected to be the decimal
125 value calculated from the major and minor version like this:
126
127 MAJOR * 10000 + MINOR * 100
128
129 Examples:
130
131 -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=30000 For 3.0
132 -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=30200 For 3.2
133
134 To hide declarations that are deprecated up to and including the
135 given API compatibility level, -DOPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED must be
136 given when building the application as well.
137 [Richard Levitte]
138
139 *) Added the X509_LOOKUP_METHOD called X509_LOOKUP_store, to allow
140 access to certificate and CRL stores via URIs and OSSL_STORE
141 loaders.
142
143 This adds the following functions:
144
145 X509_LOOKUP_store()
146 X509_STORE_load_file()
147 X509_STORE_load_path()
148 X509_STORE_load_store()
149 SSL_add_store_cert_subjects_to_stack()
150 SSL_CTX_set_default_verify_store()
151 SSL_CTX_load_verify_file()
152 SSL_CTX_load_verify_dir()
153 SSL_CTX_load_verify_store()
154
155 Also, the following functions are now deprecated:
156
157 - X509_STORE_load_locations() (use X509_STORE_load_file(),
158 X509_STORE_load_path() or X509_STORE_load_store() instead)
159 - SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations() (use SSL_CTX_load_verify_file(),
160 SSL_CTX_load_verify_dir() or SSL_CTX_load_verify_store() instead)
161 [Richard Levitte]
162
163 *) Added a new method to gather entropy on VMS, based on SYS$GET_ENTROPY.
164 The presence of this system service is determined at run-time.
165 [Richard Levitte]
166
167 *) Added functionality to create an EVP_PKEY context based on data
168 for methods from providers. This takes an algorithm name and a
169 property query string and simply stores them, with the intent
170 that any operation that uses this context will use those strings
171 to fetch the needed methods implicitly, thereby making the port
172 of application written for pre-3.0 OpenSSL easier.
173 [Richard Levitte]
174
175 *) The undocumented function NCONF_WIN32() has been deprecated; for
176 conversion details see the HISTORY section of doc/man5/config.pod
177 [Rich Salz]
178
179 *) Introduced the new functions EVP_DigestSignInit_ex() and
180 EVP_DigestVerifyInit_ex(). The macros EVP_DigestSignUpdate() and
181 EVP_DigestVerifyUpdate() have been converted to functions. See the man
182 pages for further details.
183 [Matt Caswell]
184
185 *) Most common options (such as -rand/-writerand, TLS version control, etc)
186 were refactored and point to newly-enhanced descriptions in openssl.pod
187 [Rich Salz]
188
189 *) Over two thousand fixes were made to the documentation, including:
190 adding missing command flags, better style conformance, documentation
191 of internals, etc.
192 [Rich Salz, Richard Levitte]
193
194 *) s390x assembly pack: add hardware-support for P-256, P-384, P-521,
195 X25519, X448, Ed25519 and Ed448.
196 [Patrick Steuer]
197
198 *) Print all values for a PKCS#12 attribute with 'openssl pkcs12', not just
199 the first value.
200 [Jon Spillett]
201
202 *) Deprecated the public definition of ERR_STATE as well as the function
203 ERR_get_state(). This is done in preparation of making ERR_STATE an
204 opaque type.
205 [Richard Levitte]
206
207 *) Added ERR functionality to give callers access to the stored function
208 names that have replaced the older function code based functions.
209
210 New functions are ERR_get_error_func(), ERR_peek_error_func(),
211 ERR_peek_last_error_func(), ERR_get_error_data(), ERR_peek_error_data(),
212 ERR_peek_last_error_data(), ERR_get_error_all(), ERR_peek_error_all()
213 and ERR_peek_last_error_all().
214
215 These functions have become deprecated: ERR_get_error_line_data(),
216 ERR_peek_error_line_data(), ERR_peek_last_error_line_data() and
217 ERR_func_error_string().
218 [Richard Levitte]
219
220 *) Extended testing to be verbose for failing tests only. The make variables
221 VERBOSE_FAILURE or VF can be used to enable this:
222
223 $ make VF=1 test # Unix
224 $ mms /macro=(VF=1) test ! OpenVMS
225 $ nmake VF=1 test # Windows
226
227 [Richard Levitte]
228
229 *) For built-in EC curves, ensure an EC_GROUP built from the curve name is
230 used even when parsing explicit parameters, when loading a serialized key
231 or calling `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()`/
232 `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters()`.
233 This prevents bypass of security hardening and performance gains,
234 especially for curves with specialized EC_METHODs.
235 By default, if a key encoded with explicit parameters is loaded and later
236 serialized, the output is still encoded with explicit parameters, even if
237 internally a "named" EC_GROUP is used for computation.
238 [Nicola Tuveri]
239
240 *) Compute ECC cofactors if not provided during EC_GROUP construction. Before
241 this change, EC_GROUP_set_generator would accept order and/or cofactor as
242 NULL. After this change, only the cofactor parameter can be NULL. It also
243 does some minimal sanity checks on the passed order.
244 (CVE-2019-1547)
245 [Billy Bob Brumley]
246
247 *) Fixed a padding oracle in PKCS7_dataDecode and CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey.
248 An attack is simple, if the first CMS_recipientInfo is valid but the
249 second CMS_recipientInfo is chosen ciphertext. If the second
250 recipientInfo decodes to PKCS #1 v1.5 form plaintext, the correct
251 encryption key will be replaced by garbage, and the message cannot be
252 decoded, but if the RSA decryption fails, the correct encryption key is
253 used and the recipient will not notice the attack.
254 As a work around for this potential attack the length of the decrypted
255 key must be equal to the cipher default key length, in case the
256 certifiate is not given and all recipientInfo are tried out.
257 The old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
258 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag.
259 [Bernd Edlinger]
260
261 *) Early start up entropy quality from the DEVRANDOM seed source has been
262 improved for older Linux systems. The RAND subsystem will wait for
263 /dev/random to be producing output before seeding from /dev/urandom.
264 The seeded state is stored for future library initialisations using
265 a system global shared memory segment. The shared memory identifier
266 can be configured by defining OPENSSL_RAND_SEED_DEVRANDOM_SHM_ID to
267 the desired value. The default identifier is 114.
268 [Paul Dale]
269
270 *) Revised BN_generate_prime_ex to not avoid factors 2..17863 in p-1
271 when primes for RSA keys are computed.
272 Since we previously always generated primes == 2 (mod 3) for RSA keys,
273 the 2-prime and 3-prime RSA modules were easy to distinguish, since
274 N = p*q = 1 (mod 3), but N = p*q*r = 2 (mod 3). Therefore fingerprinting
275 2-prime vs. 3-prime RSA keys was possible by computing N mod 3.
276 This avoids possible fingerprinting of newly generated RSA modules.
277 [Bernd Edlinger]
278
279 *) Correct the extended master secret constant on EBCDIC systems. Without this
280 fix TLS connections between an EBCDIC system and a non-EBCDIC system that
281 negotiate EMS will fail. Unfortunately this also means that TLS connections
282 between EBCDIC systems with this fix, and EBCDIC systems without this
283 fix will fail if they negotiate EMS.
284 [Matt Caswell]
285
286 *) Changed the library initialisation so that the config file is now loaded
287 by default. This was already the case for libssl. It now occurs for both
288 libcrypto and libssl. Use the OPENSSL_INIT_NO_LOAD_CONFIG option to
289 OPENSSL_init_crypto() to suppress automatic loading of a config file.
290 [Matt Caswell]
291
292 *) Introduced new error raising macros, ERR_raise() and ERR_raise_data(),
293 where the former acts as a replacement for ERR_put_error(), and the
294 latter replaces the combination ERR_put_error()+ERR_add_error_data().
295 ERR_raise_data() adds more flexibility by taking a format string and
296 an arbitrary number of arguments following it, to be processed with
297 BIO_snprintf().
298 [Richard Levitte]
299
300 *) Introduced a new function, OSSL_PROVIDER_available(), which can be used
301 to check if a named provider is loaded and available. When called, it
302 will also activate all fallback providers if such are still present.
303 [Richard Levitte]
304
305 *) Enforce a minimum DH modulus size of 512 bits.
306 [Bernd Edlinger]
307
308 *) Changed DH parameters to generate the order q subgroup instead of 2q.
309 Previously generated DH parameters are still accepted by DH_check
310 but DH_generate_key works around that by clearing bit 0 of the
311 private key for those. This avoids leaking bit 0 of the private key.
312 [Bernd Edlinger]
313
314 *) Significantly reduce secure memory usage by the randomness pools.
315 [Paul Dale]
316
317 *) {CRYPTO,OPENSSL}_mem_debug_{push,pop} are now no-ops and have been
318 deprecated.
319 [Rich Salz]
320
321 *) A new type, EVP_KEYEXCH, has been introduced to represent key exchange
322 algorithms. An implementation of a key exchange algorithm can be obtained
323 by using the function EVP_KEYEXCH_fetch(). An EVP_KEYEXCH algorithm can be
324 used in a call to EVP_PKEY_derive_init_ex() which works in a similar way to
325 the older EVP_PKEY_derive_init() function. See the man pages for the new
326 functions for further details.
327 [Matt Caswell]
328
329 *) The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_dh_pad() macro has now been converted to a function.
330 [Matt Caswell]
331
332 *) Removed the function names from error messages and deprecated the
333 xxx_F_xxx define's.
334
335 *) Removed NextStep support and the macro OPENSSL_UNISTD
336 [Rich Salz]
337
338 *) Removed DES_check_key. Also removed OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL,
339 OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF, OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL.
340 Also removed "export var as function" capability; we do not export
341 variables, only functions.
342 [Rich Salz]
343
344 *) RC5_32_set_key has been changed to return an int type, with 0 indicating
345 an error and 1 indicating success. In previous versions of OpenSSL this
346 was a void type. If a key was set longer than the maximum possible this
347 would crash.
348 [Matt Caswell]
349
350 *) Support SM2 signing and verification schemes with X509 certificate.
351 [Paul Yang]
352
353 *) Use SHA256 as the default digest for TS query in the ts app.
354 [Tomas Mraz]
355
356 *) Change PBKDF2 to conform to SP800-132 instead of the older PKCS5 RFC2898.
357 This checks that the salt length is at least 128 bits, the derived key
358 length is at least 112 bits, and that the iteration count is at least 1000.
359 For backwards compatibility these checks are disabled by default in the
360 default provider, but are enabled by default in the fips provider.
361 To enable or disable these checks use the control
362 EVP_KDF_CTRL_SET_PBKDF2_PKCS5_MODE.
363 [Shane Lontis]
364
365 *) Default cipher lists/suites are now available via a function, the
366 #defines are deprecated.
367 [Todd Short]
368
369 *) Add target VC-WIN32-UWP, VC-WIN64A-UWP, VC-WIN32-ARM-UWP and
370 VC-WIN64-ARM-UWP in Windows OneCore target for making building libraries
371 for Windows Store apps easier. Also, the "no-uplink" option has been added.
372 [Kenji Mouri]
373
374 *) Join the directories crypto/x509 and crypto/x509v3
375 [Richard Levitte]
376
377 *) Change the default RSA, DSA and DH size to 2048 bit instead of 1024.
378 This changes the size when using the genpkey app when no size is given. It
379 fixes an omission in earlier changes that changed all RSA, DSA and DH
380 generation apps to use 2048 bits by default.
381 [Kurt Roeckx]
382
383 *) Added command 'openssl kdf' that uses the EVP_KDF API.
384 [Shane Lontis]
385
386 *) Added command 'openssl mac' that uses the EVP_MAC API.
387 [Shane Lontis]
388
389 *) Added OPENSSL_info() to get diverse built-in OpenSSL data, such
390 as default directories. Also added the command 'openssl info'
391 for scripting purposes.
392 [Richard Levitte]
393
394 *) All of the low level AES functions have been deprecated including:
395 AES_options, AES_set_encrypt_key, AES_set_decrypt_key, AES_encrypt,
396 AES_decrypt, AES_ecb_encrypt, AES_cbc_encrypt, AES_cfb128_encrypt,
397 AES_cfb1_encrypt, AES_cfb8_encrypt, AES_ofb128_encrypt, AES_wrap_key and
398 AES_unwrap_key
399 Use of these low level functions has been informally discouraged for a long
400 time. Instead applications should use the high level EVP APIs, e.g.
401 EVP_EncryptInit_ex, EVP_EncryptUpdate, EVP_EncryptFinal_ex, and the
402 equivalently named decrypt functions.
403
404 The functions AES_ige_encrypt() and AES_bi_ige_encrypt() have also been
405 deprecated. These undocumented functions were never integrated into the EVP
406 layer and implement the AES Infinite Garble Extension (IGE) mode and AES
407 Bi-directional IGE mode. These modes were never formally standardised and
408 usage of these functions is believed to be very small. In particular
409 AES_bi_ige_encrypt() has a known bug. It accepts 2 AES keys, but only one
410 is ever used. The security implications are believed to be minimal, but
411 this issue was never fixed for backwards compatibility reasons. New code
412 should not use these modes.
413 [Matt Caswell]
414
415 *) Add prediction resistance to the DRBG reseeding process.
416 [Paul Dale]
417
418 *) Limit the number of blocks in a data unit for AES-XTS to 2^20 as
419 mandated by IEEE Std 1619-2018.
420 [Paul Dale]
421
422 *) Added newline escaping functionality to a filename when using openssl dgst.
423 This output format is to replicate the output format found in the '*sum'
424 checksum programs. This aims to preserve backward compatibility.
425 [Matt Eaton, Richard Levitte, and Paul Dale]
426
427 *) Removed the heartbeat message in DTLS feature, as it has very
428 little usage and doesn't seem to fulfill a valuable purpose.
429 The configuration option is now deprecated.
430 [Richard Levitte]
431
432 *) Changed the output of 'openssl {digestname} < file' to display the
433 digest name in its output.
434 [Richard Levitte]
435
436 *) Added a new generic trace API which provides support for enabling
437 instrumentation through trace output. This feature is mainly intended
438 as an aid for developers and is disabled by default. To utilize it,
439 OpenSSL needs to be configured with the `enable-trace` option.
440
441 If the tracing API is enabled, the application can activate trace output
442 by registering BIOs as trace channels for a number of tracing and debugging
443 categories.
444
445 The 'openssl' application has been expanded to enable any of the types
446 available via environment variables defined by the user, and serves as
447 one possible example on how to use this functionality.
448 [Richard Levitte & Matthias St. Pierre]
449
450 *) Added build tests for C++. These are generated files that only do one
451 thing, to include one public OpenSSL head file each. This tests that
452 the public header files can be usefully included in a C++ application.
453
454 This test isn't enabled by default. It can be enabled with the option
455 'enable-buildtest-c++'.
456 [Richard Levitte]
457
458 *) Add Single Step KDF (EVP_KDF_SS) to EVP_KDF.
459 [Shane Lontis]
460
461 *) Add KMAC to EVP_MAC.
462 [Shane Lontis]
463
464 *) Added property based algorithm implementation selection framework to
465 the core.
466 [Paul Dale]
467
468 *) Added SCA hardening for modular field inversion in EC_GROUP through
469 a new dedicated field_inv() pointer in EC_METHOD.
470 This also addresses a leakage affecting conversions from projective
471 to affine coordinates.
472 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
473
474 *) Added EVP_KDF, an EVP layer KDF API, to simplify adding KDF and PRF
475 implementations. This includes an EVP_PKEY to EVP_KDF bridge for
476 those algorithms that were already supported through the EVP_PKEY API
477 (scrypt, TLS1 PRF and HKDF). The low-level KDF functions for PBKDF2
478 and scrypt are now wrappers that call EVP_KDF.
479 [David Makepeace]
480
481 *) Build devcrypto engine as a dynamic engine.
482 [Eneas U de Queiroz]
483
484 *) Add keyed BLAKE2 to EVP_MAC.
485 [Antoine Salon]
486
487 *) Fix a bug in the computation of the endpoint-pair shared secret used
488 by DTLS over SCTP. This breaks interoperability with older versions
489 of OpenSSL like OpenSSL 1.1.0 and OpenSSL 1.0.2. There is a runtime
490 switch SSL_MODE_DTLS_SCTP_LABEL_LENGTH_BUG (off by default) enabling
491 interoperability with such broken implementations. However, enabling
492 this switch breaks interoperability with correct implementations.
493
494 *) Fix a use after free bug in d2i_X509_PUBKEY when overwriting a
495 re-used X509_PUBKEY object if the second PUBKEY is malformed.
496 [Bernd Edlinger]
497
498 *) Move strictness check from EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() to EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0().
499 [Richard Levitte]
500
501 *) Change the license to the Apache License v2.0.
502 [Richard Levitte]
503
504 *) Switch to a new version scheme using three numbers MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.
505
506 o Major releases (indicated by incrementing the MAJOR release number)
507 may introduce incompatible API/ABI changes.
508 o Minor releases (indicated by incrementing the MINOR release number)
509 may introduce new features but retain API/ABI compatibility.
510 o Patch releases (indicated by incrementing the PATCH number)
511 are intended for bug fixes and other improvements of existing
512 features only (like improving performance or adding documentation)
513 and retain API/ABI compatibility.
514 [Richard Levitte]
515
516 *) Add support for RFC5297 SIV mode (siv128), including AES-SIV.
517 [Todd Short]
518
519 *) Remove the 'dist' target and add a tarball building script. The
520 'dist' target has fallen out of use, and it shouldn't be
521 necessary to configure just to create a source distribution.
522 [Richard Levitte]
523
524 *) Recreate the OS390-Unix config target. It no longer relies on a
525 special script like it did for OpenSSL pre-1.1.0.
526 [Richard Levitte]
527
528 *) Instead of having the source directories listed in Configure, add
529 a 'build.info' keyword SUBDIRS to indicate what sub-directories to
530 look into.
531 [Richard Levitte]
532
533 *) Add GMAC to EVP_MAC.
534 [Paul Dale]
535
536 *) Ported the HMAC, CMAC and SipHash EVP_PKEY_METHODs to EVP_MAC.
537 [Richard Levitte]
538
539 *) Added EVP_MAC, an EVP layer MAC API, to simplify adding MAC
540 implementations. This includes a generic EVP_PKEY to EVP_MAC bridge,
541 to facilitate the continued use of MACs through raw private keys in
542 functionality such as EVP_DigestSign* and EVP_DigestVerify*.
543 [Richard Levitte]
544
545 *) Deprecate ECDH_KDF_X9_62() and mark its replacement as internal. Users
546 should use the EVP interface instead (EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_ecdh_kdf_type).
547 [Antoine Salon]
548
549 *) Added EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_63 and ecdh_KDF_X9_63() as replacements for
550 the EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_62 KDF type and ECDH_KDF_X9_62(). The old names
551 are retained for backwards compatibility.
552 [Antoine Salon]
553
554 *) AES-XTS mode now enforces that its two keys are different to mitigate
555 the attacked described in "Efficient Instantiations of Tweakable
556 Blockciphers and Refinements to Modes OCB and PMAC" by Phillip Rogaway.
557 Details of this attack can be obtained from:
558 http://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/%7Erogaway/papers/offsets.pdf
559 [Paul Dale]
560
561 *) Rename the object files, i.e. give them other names than in previous
562 versions. Their names now include the name of the final product, as
563 well as its type mnemonic (bin, lib, shlib).
564 [Richard Levitte]
565
566 *) Added new option for 'openssl list', '-objects', which will display the
567 list of built in objects, i.e. OIDs with names.
568 [Richard Levitte]
569
570 *) Added support for Linux Kernel TLS data-path. The Linux Kernel data-path
571 improves application performance by removing data copies and providing
572 applications with zero-copy system calls such as sendfile and splice.
573 [Boris Pismenny]
574
575 Changes between 1.1.1a and 1.1.1b [xx XXX xxxx]
576
577 *) Change the info callback signals for the start and end of a post-handshake
578 message exchange in TLSv1.3. In 1.1.1/1.1.1a we used SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_START
579 and SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_DONE. Experience has shown that many applications get
580 confused by this and assume that a TLSv1.2 renegotiation has started. This
581 can break KeyUpdate handling. Instead we no longer signal the start and end
582 of a post handshake message exchange (although the messages themselves are
583 still signalled). This could break some applications that were expecting
584 the old signals. However without this KeyUpdate is not usable for many
585 applications.
586 [Matt Caswell]
587
588 Changes between 1.1.1 and 1.1.1a [20 Nov 2018]
589
590 *) Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation
591
592 The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
593 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
594 algorithm to recover the private key.
595
596 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
597 (CVE-2018-0734)
598 [Paul Dale]
599
600 *) Timing vulnerability in ECDSA signature generation
601
602 The OpenSSL ECDSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
603 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
604 algorithm to recover the private key.
605
606 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 25th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
607 (CVE-2018-0735)
608 [Paul Dale]
609
610 *) Fixed the issue that RAND_add()/RAND_seed() silently discards random input
611 if its length exceeds 4096 bytes. The limit has been raised to a buffer size
612 of two gigabytes and the error handling improved.
613
614 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Dr. Falko Strenzke. It has been
615 categorized as a normal bug, not a security issue, because the DRBG reseeds
616 automatically and is fully functional even without additional randomness
617 provided by the application.
618
619 Changes between 1.1.0i and 1.1.1 [11 Sep 2018]
620
621 *) Add a new ClientHello callback. Provides a callback interface that gives
622 the application the ability to adjust the nascent SSL object at the
623 earliest stage of ClientHello processing, immediately after extensions have
624 been collected but before they have been processed. In particular, this
625 callback can adjust the supported TLS versions in response to the contents
626 of the ClientHello
627 [Benjamin Kaduk]
628
629 *) Add SM2 base algorithm support.
630 [Jack Lloyd]
631
632 *) s390x assembly pack: add (improved) hardware-support for the following
633 cryptographic primitives: sha3, shake, aes-gcm, aes-ccm, aes-ctr, aes-ofb,
634 aes-cfb/cfb8, aes-ecb.
635 [Patrick Steuer]
636
637 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
638 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
639 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
640 [Richard Levitte]
641
642 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
643 step for prime curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
644 differential addition-and-doubling in homogeneous projective coordinates
645 from Izu-Takagi "A fast parallel elliptic curve multiplication resistant
646 against side channel attacks" and Brier-Joye "Weierstrass Elliptic Curves
647 and Side-Channel Attacks" Eq. (8) for y-coordinate recovery, modified
648 to work in projective coordinates.
649 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
650
651 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
652 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
653 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
654 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
655 to 2^-128.
656 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
657
658 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
659 [Kurt Roeckx]
660
661 *) The 'tsget' script is renamed to 'tsget.pl', to avoid confusion when
662 moving between systems, and to avoid confusion when a Windows build is
663 done with mingw vs with MSVC. For POSIX installs, there's still a
664 symlink or copy named 'tsget' to avoid that confusion as well.
665 [Richard Levitte]
666
667 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
668 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
669 [Andy Polyakov]
670
671 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
672 step for binary curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
673 differential addition-and-doubling in mixed Lopez-Dahab projective
674 coordinates, modified to independently blind the operands.
675 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
676
677 *) Add a scaffold to optionally enhance the Montgomery ladder implementation
678 for `ec_scalar_mul_ladder` (formerly `ec_mul_consttime`) allowing
679 EC_METHODs to implement their own specialized "ladder step", to take
680 advantage of more favorable coordinate systems or more efficient
681 differential addition-and-doubling algorithms.
682 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
683
684 *) Modified the random device based seed sources to keep the relevant
685 file descriptors open rather than reopening them on each access.
686 This allows such sources to operate in a chroot() jail without
687 the associated device nodes being available. This behaviour can be
688 controlled using RAND_keep_random_devices_open().
689 [Paul Dale]
690
691 *) Numerous side-channel attack mitigations have been applied. This may have
692 performance impacts for some algorithms for the benefit of improved
693 security. Specific changes are noted in this change log by their respective
694 authors.
695 [Matt Caswell]
696
697 *) AIX shared library support overhaul. Switch to AIX "natural" way of
698 handling shared libraries, which means collecting shared objects of
699 different versions and bitnesses in one common archive. This allows to
700 mitigate conflict between 1.0 and 1.1 side-by-side installations. It
701 doesn't affect the way 3rd party applications are linked, only how
702 multi-version installation is managed.
703 [Andy Polyakov]
704
705 *) Make ec_group_do_inverse_ord() more robust and available to other
706 EC cryptosystems, so that irrespective of BN_FLG_CONSTTIME, SCA
707 mitigations are applied to the fallback BN_mod_inverse().
708 When using this function rather than BN_mod_inverse() directly, new
709 EC cryptosystem implementations are then safer-by-default.
710 [Billy Bob Brumley]
711
712 *) Add coordinate blinding for EC_POINT and implement projective
713 coordinate blinding for generic prime curves as a countermeasure to
714 chosen point SCA attacks.
715 [Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri, Billy Bob Brumley]
716
717 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
718 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
719 [Matt Caswell]
720
721 *) Enforce checking in the pkeyutl command line app to ensure that the input
722 length does not exceed the maximum supported digest length when performing
723 a sign, verify or verifyrecover operation.
724 [Matt Caswell]
725
726 *) SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY is enabled by default. Applications that use blocking
727 I/O in combination with something like select() or poll() will hang. This
728 can be turned off again using SSL_CTX_clear_mode().
729 Many applications do not properly handle non-application data records, and
730 TLS 1.3 sends more of such records. Setting SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY works
731 around the problems in those applications, but can also break some.
732 It's recommended to read the manpages about SSL_read(), SSL_write(),
733 SSL_get_error(), SSL_shutdown(), SSL_CTX_set_mode() and
734 SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead() again.
735 [Kurt Roeckx]
736
737 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
738 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
739 [Richard Levitte]
740
741 *) Apply blinding to binary field modular inversion and remove patent
742 pending (OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV) BN_GF2m_mod_div implementation.
743 [Billy Bob Brumley]
744
745 *) Deprecate ec2_mult.c and unify scalar multiplication code paths for
746 binary and prime elliptic curves.
747 [Billy Bob Brumley]
748
749 *) Remove ECDSA nonce padding: EC_POINT_mul is now responsible for
750 constant time fixed point multiplication.
751 [Billy Bob Brumley]
752
753 *) Revise elliptic curve scalar multiplication with timing attack
754 defenses: ec_wNAF_mul redirects to a constant time implementation
755 when computing fixed point and variable point multiplication (which
756 in OpenSSL are mostly used with secret scalars in keygen, sign,
757 ECDH derive operations).
758 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri, Cesar Pereida García,
759 Sohaib ul Hassan]
760
761 *) Updated CONTRIBUTING
762 [Rich Salz]
763
764 *) Updated DRBG / RAND to request nonce and additional low entropy
765 randomness from the system.
766 [Matthias St. Pierre]
767
768 *) Updated 'openssl rehash' to use OpenSSL consistent default.
769 [Richard Levitte]
770
771 *) Moved the load of the ssl_conf module to libcrypto, which helps
772 loading engines that libssl uses before libssl is initialised.
773 [Matt Caswell]
774
775 *) Added EVP_PKEY_sign() and EVP_PKEY_verify() for EdDSA
776 [Matt Caswell]
777
778 *) Fixed X509_NAME_ENTRY_set to get multi-valued RDNs right in all cases.
779 [Ingo Schwarze, Rich Salz]
780
781 *) Added output of accepting IP address and port for 'openssl s_server'
782 [Richard Levitte]
783
784 *) Added a new API for TLSv1.3 ciphersuites:
785 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites()
786 SSL_set_ciphersuites()
787 [Matt Caswell]
788
789 *) Memory allocation failures consistently add an error to the error
790 stack.
791 [Rich Salz]
792
793 *) Don't use OPENSSL_ENGINES and OPENSSL_CONF environment values
794 in libcrypto when run as setuid/setgid.
795 [Bernd Edlinger]
796
797 *) Load any config file by default when libssl is used.
798 [Matt Caswell]
799
800 *) Added new public header file <openssl/rand_drbg.h> and documentation
801 for the RAND_DRBG API. See manual page RAND_DRBG(7) for an overview.
802 [Matthias St. Pierre]
803
804 *) QNX support removed (cannot find contributors to get their approval
805 for the license change).
806 [Rich Salz]
807
808 *) TLSv1.3 replay protection for early data has been implemented. See the
809 SSL_read_early_data() man page for further details.
810 [Matt Caswell]
811
812 *) Separated TLSv1.3 ciphersuite configuration out from TLSv1.2 ciphersuite
813 configuration. TLSv1.3 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.2 and
814 below. Similarly TLSv1.2 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.3.
815 In order to avoid issues where legacy TLSv1.2 ciphersuite configuration
816 would otherwise inadvertently disable all TLSv1.3 ciphersuites the
817 configuration has been separated out. See the ciphers man page or the
818 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites() man page for more information.
819 [Matt Caswell]
820
821 *) On POSIX (BSD, Linux, ...) systems the ocsp(1) command running
822 in responder mode now supports the new "-multi" option, which
823 spawns the specified number of child processes to handle OCSP
824 requests. The "-timeout" option now also limits the OCSP
825 responder's patience to wait to receive the full client request
826 on a newly accepted connection. Child processes are respawned
827 as needed, and the CA index file is automatically reloaded
828 when changed. This makes it possible to run the "ocsp" responder
829 as a long-running service, making the OpenSSL CA somewhat more
830 feature-complete. In this mode, most diagnostic messages logged
831 after entering the event loop are logged via syslog(3) rather than
832 written to stderr.
833 [Viktor Dukhovni]
834
835 *) Added support for X448 and Ed448. Heavily based on original work by
836 Mike Hamburg.
837 [Matt Caswell]
838
839 *) Extend OSSL_STORE with capabilities to search and to narrow the set of
840 objects loaded. This adds the functions OSSL_STORE_expect() and
841 OSSL_STORE_find() as well as needed tools to construct searches and
842 get the search data out of them.
843 [Richard Levitte]
844
845 *) Support for TLSv1.3 added. Note that users upgrading from an earlier
846 version of OpenSSL should review their configuration settings to ensure
847 that they are still appropriate for TLSv1.3. For further information see:
848 https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/TLS1.3
849 [Matt Caswell]
850
851 *) Grand redesign of the OpenSSL random generator
852
853 The default RAND method now utilizes an AES-CTR DRBG according to
854 NIST standard SP 800-90Ar1. The new random generator is essentially
855 a port of the default random generator from the OpenSSL FIPS 2.0
856 object module. It is a hybrid deterministic random bit generator
857 using an AES-CTR bit stream and which seeds and reseeds itself
858 automatically using trusted system entropy sources.
859
860 Some of its new features are:
861 o Support for multiple DRBG instances with seed chaining.
862 o The default RAND method makes use of a DRBG.
863 o There is a public and private DRBG instance.
864 o The DRBG instances are fork-safe.
865 o Keep all global DRBG instances on the secure heap if it is enabled.
866 o The public and private DRBG instance are per thread for lock free
867 operation
868 [Paul Dale, Benjamin Kaduk, Kurt Roeckx, Rich Salz, Matthias St. Pierre]
869
870 *) Changed Configure so it only says what it does and doesn't dump
871 so much data. Instead, ./configdata.pm should be used as a script
872 to display all sorts of configuration data.
873 [Richard Levitte]
874
875 *) Added processing of "make variables" to Configure.
876 [Richard Levitte]
877
878 *) Added SHA512/224 and SHA512/256 algorithm support.
879 [Paul Dale]
880
881 *) The last traces of Netware support, first removed in 1.1.0, have
882 now been removed.
883 [Rich Salz]
884
885 *) Get rid of Makefile.shared, and in the process, make the processing
886 of certain files (rc.obj, or the .def/.map/.opt files produced from
887 the ordinal files) more visible and hopefully easier to trace and
888 debug (or make silent).
889 [Richard Levitte]
890
891 *) Make it possible to have environment variable assignments as
892 arguments to config / Configure.
893 [Richard Levitte]
894
895 *) Add multi-prime RSA (RFC 8017) support.
896 [Paul Yang]
897
898 *) Add SM3 implemented according to GB/T 32905-2016
899 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
900 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
901 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
902
903 *) Add 'Maximum Fragment Length' TLS extension negotiation and support
904 as documented in RFC6066.
905 Based on a patch from Tomasz Moń
906 [Filipe Raimundo da Silva]
907
908 *) Add SM4 implemented according to GB/T 32907-2016.
909 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
910 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
911 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
912
913 *) Reimplement -newreq-nodes and ERR_error_string_n; the
914 original author does not agree with the license change.
915 [Rich Salz]
916
917 *) Add ARIA AEAD TLS support.
918 [Jon Spillett]
919
920 *) Some macro definitions to support VS6 have been removed. Visual
921 Studio 6 has not worked since 1.1.0
922 [Rich Salz]
923
924 *) Add ERR_clear_last_mark(), to allow callers to clear the last mark
925 without clearing the errors.
926 [Richard Levitte]
927
928 *) Add "atfork" functions. If building on a system that without
929 pthreads, see doc/man3/OPENSSL_fork_prepare.pod for application
930 requirements. The RAND facility now uses/requires this.
931 [Rich Salz]
932
933 *) Add SHA3.
934 [Andy Polyakov]
935
936 *) The UI API becomes a permanent and integral part of libcrypto, i.e.
937 not possible to disable entirely. However, it's still possible to
938 disable the console reading UI method, UI_OpenSSL() (use UI_null()
939 as a fallback).
940
941 To disable, configure with 'no-ui-console'. 'no-ui' is still
942 possible to use as an alias. Check at compile time with the
943 macro OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE. The macro OPENSSL_NO_UI is still
944 possible to check and is an alias for OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE.
945 [Richard Levitte]
946
947 *) Add a STORE module, which implements a uniform and URI based reader of
948 stores that can contain keys, certificates, CRLs and numerous other
949 objects. The main API is loosely based on a few stdio functions,
950 and includes OSSL_STORE_open, OSSL_STORE_load, OSSL_STORE_eof,
951 OSSL_STORE_error and OSSL_STORE_close.
952 The implementation uses backends called "loaders" to implement arbitrary
953 URI schemes. There is one built in "loader" for the 'file' scheme.
954 [Richard Levitte]
955
956 *) Add devcrypto engine. This has been implemented against cryptodev-linux,
957 then adjusted to work on FreeBSD 8.4 as well.
958 Enable by configuring with 'enable-devcryptoeng'. This is done by default
959 on BSD implementations, as cryptodev.h is assumed to exist on all of them.
960 [Richard Levitte]
961
962 *) Module names can prefixed with OSSL_ or OPENSSL_. This affects
963 util/mkerr.pl, which is adapted to allow those prefixes, leading to
964 error code calls like this:
965
966 OSSL_FOOerr(OSSL_FOO_F_SOMETHING, OSSL_FOO_R_WHATEVER);
967
968 With this change, we claim the namespaces OSSL and OPENSSL in a manner
969 that can be encoded in C. For the foreseeable future, this will only
970 affect new modules.
971 [Richard Levitte and Tim Hudson]
972
973 *) Removed BSD cryptodev engine.
974 [Rich Salz]
975
976 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
977 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
978 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
979 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
980 [Richard Levitte]
981
982 *) In the UI interface, make it possible to duplicate the user data. This
983 can be used by engines that need to retain the data for a longer time
984 than just the call where this user data is passed.
985 [Richard Levitte]
986
987 *) Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of applications
988 with OpenSSL 1.0.2.
989 [Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org>]
990
991 *) Fragmented SSL/TLS alerts are no longer accepted. An alert message is 2
992 bytes long. In theory it is permissible in SSLv3 - TLSv1.2 to fragment such
993 alerts across multiple records (some of which could be empty). In practice
994 it make no sense to send an empty alert record, or to fragment one. TLSv1.3
995 prohibts this altogether and other libraries (BoringSSL, NSS) do not
996 support this at all. Supporting it adds significant complexity to the
997 record layer, and its removal is unlikely to cause inter-operability
998 issues.
999 [Matt Caswell]
1000
1001 *) Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
1002 with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
1003 The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
1004 in OpenSSL 1.2.0.
1005 [Richard Levitte]
1006
1007 *) Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
1008 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
1009 [Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov]
1010
1011 *) Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
1012 does for RSA, etc.
1013 [Richard Levitte]
1014
1015 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
1016 platform rather than 'mingw'.
1017 [Richard Levitte]
1018
1019 *) The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
1020 success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
1021 in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
1022 certificates and CRLs.
1023 [Paul Dale]
1024
1025 *) x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
1026 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
1027 [Andy Polyakov]
1028
1029 *) Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
1030 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
1031 [Richard Levitte]
1032
1033 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
1034 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
1035 which is the minimum version we support.
1036 [Richard Levitte]
1037
1038 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
1039 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
1040 are no longer allowed.
1041 [Emilia Käsper]
1042
1043 *) Add support for ARIA
1044 [Paul Dale]
1045
1046 *) s_client will now send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension by
1047 default unless the new "-noservername" option is used. The server name is
1048 based on the host provided to the "-connect" option unless overridden by
1049 using "-servername".
1050 [Matt Caswell]
1051
1052 *) Add support for SipHash
1053 [Todd Short]
1054
1055 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
1056 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
1057 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
1058 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
1059 [Matt Caswell]
1060
1061 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
1062 using the algorithm defined in
1063 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
1064 [Richard Levitte]
1065
1066 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
1067 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
1068
1069 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
1070 [Emilia Käsper]
1071
1072 *) The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid patent
1073 issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.
1074 [Rich Salz]
1075
1076
1077 Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.0i [xx XXX xxxx]
1078
1079 *) Client DoS due to large DH parameter
1080
1081 During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DH(E) based ciphersuite a
1082 malicious server can send a very large prime value to the client. This will
1083 cause the client to spend an unreasonably long period of time generating a
1084 key for this prime resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This
1085 could be exploited in a Denial Of Service attack.
1086
1087 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 5th June 2018 by Guido Vranken
1088 (CVE-2018-0732)
1089 [Guido Vranken]
1090
1091 *) Cache timing vulnerability in RSA Key Generation
1092
1093 The OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to
1094 a cache timing side channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to
1095 mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could
1096 recover the private key.
1097
1098 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th April 2018 by Alejandro Cabrera
1099 Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Cesar Pereida Garcia and Luis Manuel Alvarez Tapia.
1100 (CVE-2018-0737)
1101 [Billy Brumley]
1102
1103 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
1104 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
1105 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
1106 [Richard Levitte]
1107
1108 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
1109 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
1110 [Andy Polyakov]
1111
1112 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
1113 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
1114 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
1115 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
1116 to 2^-128.
1117 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
1118
1119 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
1120 [Kurt Roeckx]
1121
1122 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
1123 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
1124 [Matt Caswell]
1125
1126 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
1127 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
1128 [Richard Levitte]
1129
1130 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
1131 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
1132 are no longer allowed.
1133 [Emilia Käsper]
1134
1135 *) Fixed a text canonicalisation bug in CMS
1136
1137 Where a CMS detached signature is used with text content the text goes
1138 through a canonicalisation process first prior to signing or verifying a
1139 signature. This process strips trailing space at the end of lines, converts
1140 line terminators to CRLF and removes additional trailing line terminators
1141 at the end of a file. A bug in the canonicalisation process meant that
1142 some characters, such as form-feed, were incorrectly treated as whitespace
1143 and removed. This is contrary to the specification (RFC5485). This fix
1144 could mean that detached text data signed with an earlier version of
1145 OpenSSL 1.1.0 may fail to verify using the fixed version, or text data
1146 signed with a fixed OpenSSL may fail to verify with an earlier version of
1147 OpenSSL 1.1.0. A workaround is to only verify the canonicalised text data
1148 and use the "-binary" flag (for the "cms" command line application) or set
1149 the SMIME_BINARY/PKCS7_BINARY/CMS_BINARY flags (if using CMS_verify()).
1150 [Matt Caswell]
1151
1152 Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.0h [27 Mar 2018]
1153
1154 *) Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
1155
1156 Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
1157 in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
1158 excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
1159 are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
1160 so this is considered safe.
1161
1162 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
1163 project.
1164 (CVE-2018-0739)
1165 [Matt Caswell]
1166
1167 *) Incorrect CRYPTO_memcmp on HP-UX PA-RISC
1168
1169 Because of an implementation bug the PA-RISC CRYPTO_memcmp function is
1170 effectively reduced to only comparing the least significant bit of each
1171 byte. This allows an attacker to forge messages that would be considered as
1172 authenticated in an amount of tries lower than that guaranteed by the
1173 security claims of the scheme. The module can only be compiled by the
1174 HP-UX assembler, so that only HP-UX PA-RISC targets are affected.
1175
1176 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 2nd March 2018 by Peter Waltenberg
1177 (IBM).
1178 (CVE-2018-0733)
1179 [Andy Polyakov]
1180
1181 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
1182 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
1183 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
1184 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
1185 [Richard Levitte]
1186
1187 *) Backport SSL_OP_NO_RENGOTIATION
1188
1189 OpenSSL 1.0.2 and below had the ability to disable renegotiation using the
1190 (undocumented) SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS flag. Due to the opacity
1191 changes this is no longer possible in 1.1.0. Therefore the new
1192 SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION option from 1.1.1-dev has been backported to
1193 1.1.0 to provide equivalent functionality.
1194
1195 Note that if an application built against 1.1.0h headers (or above) is run
1196 using an older version of 1.1.0 (prior to 1.1.0h) then the option will be
1197 accepted but nothing will happen, i.e. renegotiation will not be prevented.
1198 [Matt Caswell]
1199
1200 *) Removed the OS390-Unix config target. It relied on a script that doesn't
1201 exist.
1202 [Rich Salz]
1203
1204 *) rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
1205
1206 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
1207 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
1208 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
1209 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
1210 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
1211 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
1212 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
1213 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
1214 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
1215 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
1216
1217 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
1218 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
1219
1220 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
1221 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
1222 (CVE-2017-3738)

1224
1225 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
1226
1227 *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
1228
1229 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1230 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1231 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1232 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1233 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1234 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1235 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1236 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1237 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1238 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1239 key that is shared between multiple clients.
1240
1241 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
1242 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
1243
1244 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
1245 (CVE-2017-3736)
1246 [Andy Polyakov]
1247
1248 *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
1249
1250 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
1251 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
1252 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
1253
1254 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
1255 (CVE-2017-3735)

1257
1258 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
1259
1260 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
1261 platform rather than 'mingw'.
1262 [Richard Levitte]
1263
1264 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
1265 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
1266 which is the minimum version we support.

1269 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
1270
1271 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
1272
1273 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
1274 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
1275 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
1276 and servers are affected.
1277
1278 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).

1282 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
1283
1284 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
1285
1286 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
1287 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
1288 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
1289
1290 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
1291 (CVE-2017-3731)
1292 [Andy Polyakov]
1293
1294 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
1295
1296 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
1297 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
1298 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
1299 of Service attack.

1301 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
1302 (CVE-2017-3730)
1303 [Matt Caswell]
1304
1305 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1306
1307 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1308 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1309 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1310 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1311 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1312 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1313 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1314 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1315 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1316 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1317 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1318 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
1319 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
1320
1321 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.

1326
1327 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
1328
1329 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
1330 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
1331 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
1332
1333 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
1334 (CVE-2016-7054)
1335 [Richard Levitte]
1336
1337 *) CMS Null dereference
1338
1339 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
1340 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
1341 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
1342 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
1343 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
1344 affected.
1345
1346 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
1347 (CVE-2016-7053)
1348 [Stephen Henson]
1349
1350 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
1351
1352 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
1353 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
1354 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
1355 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
1356 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
1357 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
1358 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
1359 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
1360 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
1361 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
1362 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
1363 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
1364 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
1365 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
1366
1367 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
1368 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
1369 providing reproducible case.
1370 (CVE-2016-7055)
1371 [Andy Polyakov]
1372
1373 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
1374 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.

1376
1377 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
1378
1379 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
1380
1381 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
1382 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
1383 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
1384 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
1385 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
1386 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
1387
1388 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.

1394 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
1395
1396 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
1397
1398 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
1399 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
1400 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
1401 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
1402 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
1403 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
1404 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.

1408 [Matt Caswell]
1409
1410 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
1411
1412 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
1413 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
1414 Denial Of Service attack.
1415
1416 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
1417 (CVE-2016-6305)
1418 [Matt Caswell]
1419
1420 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
1421 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
1422
1423 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
1424 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
1425 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
1426 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
1427 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
1428 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
1429 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
1430 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
1431 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
1432 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
1433 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
1434 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
1435 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
1436 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
1437 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
1438
1439 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
1440 that the connection fails
1441 or
1442 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
1443 very little free memory
1444 or
1445 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
1446 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
1447 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
1448 memory to service the multiple requests.
1449
1450 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
1451 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
1452 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
1453 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
1454 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.

1458 [Matt Caswell]
1459
1460 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
1461 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
1462 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
1463 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
1464 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
1465 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
1466 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...

1468
1469 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
1470
1471 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
1472 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
1473 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
1474 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
1475 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
1476 non-ASCII password.
1477 [Andy Polyakov]
1478
1479 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
1480 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
1481 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
1482 [Rich Salz]
1483
1484 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
1485 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
1486 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
1487 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
1488 [Matt Caswell]
1489
1490 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
1491 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
1492 success.
1493 [Matt Caswell]
1494
1495 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
1496 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
1497 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
1498 no-ops and deprecated.
1499 [Matt Caswell]
1500
1501 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
1502 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
1503 were also closed.
1504 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
1505
1506 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
1507 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
1508 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
1509 [Rich Salz]
1510
1511 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
1512 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
1513 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
1514 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
1515 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
1516 and the validity of object reference counter.
1517 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
1518
1519 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
1520 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
1521 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
1522 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
1523 [Richard Levitte]
1524
1525 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
1526 [Richard Levitte]
1527
1528 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
1529 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
1530 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
1531 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
1532
1533 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
1534
1535 [Richard Levitte]
1536
1537 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
1538 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
1539 [Steve Henson]
1540
1541 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
1542 [Andy Polyakov]
1543
1544 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
1545 [Rich Salz]
1546
1547 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
1548 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
1549 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
1550 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
1551 name and is used as is.
1552 [Richard Levitte]
1553
1554 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
1555 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
1556 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
1557 [Rich Salz]
1558
1559 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
1560 the "no-shared" Configure option.
1561 [Matt Caswell]
1562
1563 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
1564 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
1565 algorithms.
1566 [Matt Caswell]
1567
1568 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
1569 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
1570 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
1571 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
1572 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
1573 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
1574 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
1575 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
1576 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
1577 [Matt Caswell]
1578
1579 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
1580 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
1581 enabled with '--debug' builds.
1582 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
1583
1584 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
1585 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1586 these have been added.
1587 [Matt Caswell]
1588
1589 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
1590 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
1591 functions for managing these have been added.
1592 [Richard Levitte]
1593
1594 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
1595 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1596 these have been added.
1597 [Matt Caswell]
1598
1599 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
1600 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
1601 have been added.
1602 [Matt Caswell]
1603
1604 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
1605 [Matt Caswell]
1606
1607 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
1608 [Richard Levitte]
1609
1610 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
1611 it is always safe to #include a header now.
1612 [Rich Salz]
1613
1614 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
1615 [Richard Levitte]
1616
1617 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
1618 [Rich Salz]
1619
1620 *) Add support for HKDF.
1621 [Alessandro Ghedini]
1622
1623 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
1624 [Bill Cox]
1625
1626 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
1627 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
1628 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
1629 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
1630 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
1631 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
1632 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
1633 [Matt Caswell]
1634
1635 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
1636 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
1637 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
1638 [Catriona Lucey]
1639
1640 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
1641 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
1642 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
1643 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
1644 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
1645 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
1646 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
1647
1648 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1649 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1650 [Todd Short]
1651
1652 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
1653 [Todd Short]
1654
1655 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
1656 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
1657 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
1658 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
1659 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
1660 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
1661 default cipherlist.
1662 [Emilia Käsper]
1663
1664 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
1665 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
1666 [Rich Salz]
1667
1668 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
1669 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
1670 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
1671 [Matt Caswell]
1672
1673 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
1674 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
1675 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
1676 implemented by other servers.
1677 [Emilia Käsper]
1678
1679 *) Add X25519 support.
1680 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
1681 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
1682 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
1683 key generation and key derivation.
1684
1685 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
1686 X25519(29).
1687 [Steve Henson]
1688
1689 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
1690 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1691 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
1692 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
1693 seed, even if the seed is configured.
1694
1695 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1696 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1697 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1698 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1699 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1700 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1701 that of a valid user.
1702 [Emilia Käsper]
1703
1704 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
1705 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
1706 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
1707 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
1708
1709 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
1710 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
1711
1712 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
1713 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
1714 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
1715 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
1716
1717 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
1718 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
1719 irrelevant.
1720 [Richard Levitte]
1721
1722 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
1723 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
1724 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
1725 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
1726 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
1727 of how OpenSSL was configured.
1728
1729 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
1730 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
1731 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
1732 [Richard Levitte]
1733
1734 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
1735 [Rich Salz]
1736
1737 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
1738 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
1739 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
1740 removed.
1741 [Richard Levitte]
1742
1743 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
1744 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
1745 old #define's might need to be updated.
1746 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
1747
1748 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
1749 [Rich Salz]
1750
1751 *) New "unified" build system
1752
1753 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
1754 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
1755
1756 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
1757 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
1758 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
1759
1760 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
1761 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
1762 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
1763 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
1764 descrip.mms.tmpl.
1765
1766 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
1767 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
1768 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
1769 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
1770 libraries" in INSTALL.
1771
1772 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
1773 [Richard Levitte]
1774
1775 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
1776 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
1777 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
1778 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
1779 [Matt Caswell]
1780
1781 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
1782 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
1783
1784 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
1785 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
1786 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
1787 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
1788 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
1789 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
1790 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
1791 have been adapted accordingly.
1792 [Richard Levitte]
1793
1794 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
1795 the leading 0-byte.
1796 [Emilia Käsper]
1797
1798 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
1799 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
1800 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
1801 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
1802 [Emilia Käsper]
1803
1804 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
1805 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
1806 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
1807 'unsigned char*'.
1808 [Emilia Käsper]
1809
1810 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
1811 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
1812 [Emilia Käsper]
1813
1814 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
1815 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
1816 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
1817 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
1818 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
1819 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
1820 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
1821
1822 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
1823 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
1824
1825 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
1826 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
1827 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
1828 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
1829 Text::Template.
1830
1831 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
1832 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
1833 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
1834 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
1835 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
1836 %target).
1837 [Richard Levitte]
1838
1839 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
1840 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
1841 straightforward and less interdependent.
1842
1843 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
1844 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
1845 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
1846
1847 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
1848 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
1849 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
1850 installed.
1851 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
1852 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
1853 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
1854 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
1855
1856 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
1857 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
1858 [Richard Levitte]
1859
1860 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
1861 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
1862 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
1863 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
1864 is present).
1865 [Matt Caswell]
1866
1867 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
1868 configuring.
1869 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
1870
1871 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
1872 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
1873 before trying to build now.*
1874 [Rich Salz]
1875
1876 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
1877 has changed.
1878 [Rich Salz]
1879
1880 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
1881
1882 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
1883 the application's responsibility. The application provides
1884 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
1885 used to authenticate the peer.
1886
1887 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
1888 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
1889 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
1890 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
1891 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
1892 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1893
1894 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
1895 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
1896 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
1897 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
1898 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
1899 or the 1.1.0 releases.
1900
1901 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
1902 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
1903 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
1904 support for the deprecated features from the library and
1905 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
1906 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
1907 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
1908 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
1909 version.
1910
1911 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
1912 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
1913 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
1914 compile with later releases.
1915
1916 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
1917 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
1918 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
1919 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
1920 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
1921 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1922
1923 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
1924 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
1925 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
1926 MaxProtocol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
1927 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
1928 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
1929 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
1930 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
1931 [Kurt Roeckx]
1932
1933 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
1934 [Andy Polyakov]
1935
1936 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
1937 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
1938 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
1939 ECDSA_SIG format.
1940
1941 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
1942 include the ec.h header file instead.
1943 [Steve Henson]
1944
1945 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
1946 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
1947 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
1948 [Kurt Roeckx]
1949
1950 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
1951 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
1952 were added:
1953
1954 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
1955 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
1956
1957 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
1958 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
1959 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
1960
1961 Additional changes:
1962 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
1963 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
1964 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
1965 an already created structure.
1966 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
1967 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
1968 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
1969 for deprecated builds.
1970 [Richard Levitte]
1971
1972 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
1973 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
1974 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
1975 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
1976 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
1977 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
1978 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
1979 [Matt Caswell]
1980
1981 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
1982 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
1983 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
1984 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
1985 [Kurt Roeckx]
1986
1987 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
1988 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
1989 [Kurt Roeckx]
1990
1991 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
1992 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
1993 [Kurt Roeckx]
1994
1995 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
1996 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
1997 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
1998 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
1999 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
2000 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
2001 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
2002 also been removed.
2003 [Matt Caswell]
2004
2005 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
2006 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
2007 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
2008 [Rich Salz]
2009
2010 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
2011 [Rich Salz]
2012
2013 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
2014 sureware and ubsec.
2015 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
2016
2017 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
2018
2019 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
2020 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
2021
2022 FOO *x;
2023
2024 it must be:
2025
2026 FOO x;
2027
2028 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
2029 set a mandatory field to NULL.
2030
2031 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
2032 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
2033 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
2034 SEQUENCE OF.
2035 [Steve Henson]
2036
2037 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
2038 [Emilia Käsper]
2039
2040 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
2041 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
2042 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
2043 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
2044 [Matt Caswell]
2045
2046 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
2047 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
2048 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
2049 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
2050 [Emilia Käsper]
2051
2052 *) Fix no-stdio build.
2053 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
2054 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
2055
2056 *) New testing framework
2057 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
2058 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
2059 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
2060 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
2061 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
2062 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
2063
2064 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
2065
2066 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
2067 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
2068
2069 [Richard Levitte]
2070
2071 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
2072 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
2073 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
2074 and others were changed. All are now documented.
2075 [Rich Salz]
2076
2077 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
2078 return an error
2079 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
2080
2081 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
2082 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
2083
2084 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
2085 original RSA_PSK patch.
2086 [Steve Henson]
2087
2088 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
2089 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
2090 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
2091 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
2092 [Matt Caswell]
2093
2094 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
2095 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
2096 [Richard Levitte]
2097
2098 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
2099 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
2100 hasn't been working properly for a while.
2101 [Emilia Käsper]
2102
2103 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
2104 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
2105 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
2106 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
2107 transferred.
2108 [Matt Caswell]
2109
2110 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
2111 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
2112 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
2113 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
2114 [Matt Caswell]
2115
2116 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
2117 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
2118 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
2119 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
2120 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
2121 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
2122 [Matt Caswell]
2123
2124 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
2125 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
2126 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
2127 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
2128 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
2129 header file has been removed.
2130 [Matt Caswell]
2131
2132 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
2133 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
2134 [Matt Caswell]
2135
2136 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
2137 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
2138 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
2139
2140 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
2141 Added a test.
2142 [Rich Salz]
2143
2144 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
2145 [Rich Salz]
2146
2147 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
2148 sha256
2149 [Rich Salz]
2150
2151 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
2152 [Matt Caswell]
2153
2154 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
2155 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
2156 initial patch which was a great help during development.
2157 [Steve Henson]
2158
2159 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
2160 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
2161 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
2162 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
2163 [Matt Caswell]
2164
2165 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
2166 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
2167 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
2168 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
2169 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
2170 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
2171 [Matt Caswell]
2172
2173 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
2174 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
2175 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
2176 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
2177 [Matt Caswell]
2178
2179 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
2180 compatible client hello.
2181 [Kurt Roeckx]
2182
2183 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
2184 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
2185 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
2186
2187 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
2188 [Rich Salz]
2189
2190 *) Removed old DES API.
2191 [Rich Salz]
2192
2193 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
2194 Sony NEWS4
2195 BEOS and BEOS_R5
2196 NeXT
2197 SUNOS
2198 MPE/iX
2199 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
2200 DGUX
2201 NCR
2202 Tandem
2203 Cray
2204 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
2205 [Rich Salz]
2206
2207 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
2208 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
2209 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
2210 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
2211 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
2212 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
2213 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
2214 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
2215 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
2216 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
2217 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
2218 [Rich Salz]
2219
2220 *) Cleaned up dead code
2221 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
2222 [Rich Salz]
2223
2224 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
2225 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
2226 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
2227 [Rich Salz]
2228
2229 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
2230 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
2231 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
2232 [Rich Salz]
2233
2234 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
2235 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
2236 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
2237
2238 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
2239 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
2240 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
2241
2242 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2243 compilation flags.
2244 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2245
2246 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2247 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
2248 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2249
2250 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2251 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2252
2253 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2254 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2255 server.
2256
2257 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2258 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
2259 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2260 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2261
2262 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2263 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2264 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2265 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2266
2267 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2268 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2269 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2270
2271 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2272 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2273 [Steve Henson]
2274
2275 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
2276
2277 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
2278 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
2279
2280 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
2281 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
2282
2283 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
2284 effect.
2285
2286 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
2287
2288 [Steve Henson]
2289
2290 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2291 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2292 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2293 algorithms and include tests cases.
2294 [Steve Henson]
2295
2296 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
2297 enveloped data.
2298 [Steve Henson]
2299
2300 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2301 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2302 [Steve Henson]
2303
2304 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2305 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2306
2307 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
2308 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
2309 [Steve Henson]
2310
2311 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
2312 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
2313 failures.
2314 [Steve Henson]
2315
2316 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
2317 sign or verify all in one operation.
2318 [Steve Henson]
2319
2320 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
2321 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
2322 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
2323 [Steve Henson]
2324
2325 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
2326 [Steve Henson]
2327
2328 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
2329 [Steve Henson]
2330
2331 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
2332 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
2333 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
2334 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
2335 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
2336 [Steve Henson]
2337
2338 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
2339 based on NID.
2340 [Steve Henson]
2341
2342 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
2343 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
2344 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
2345 [Steve Henson]
2346
2347 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
2348 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
2349
2350 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
2351 POST to handle HMAC cases.
2352 [Steve Henson]
2353
2354 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
2355 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
2356 [Steve Henson]
2357
2358 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
2359 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
2360 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2361 [Steve Henson]
2362
2363 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
2364 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
2365 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
2366 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
2367 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
2368 requested amount of entropy.
2369 [Steve Henson]
2370
2371 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
2372 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
2373 [Steve Henson]
2374
2375 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
2376 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
2377 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
2378 support.
2379 [Steve Henson]
2380
2381 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
2382 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
2383 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
2384 [Steve Henson]
2385
2386 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
2387 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
2388 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
2389 will never use XTS mode.
2390 [Steve Henson]
2391
2392 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
2393 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
2394 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
2395 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
2396 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
2397 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
2398 [Steve Henson]
2399
2400 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
2401 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
2402 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
2403 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
2404 [Steve Henson]
2405
2406 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
2407 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
2408 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
2409 [Steve Henson]
2410
2411 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
2412 [Steve Henson]
2413
2414 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
2415 [Steve Henson]
2416
2417 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
2418 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
2419 [Steve Henson]
2420
2421 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
2422 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
2423 [Steve Henson]
2424
2425 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
2426 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
2427 [Steve Henson]
2428
2429 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
2430 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
2431 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
2432 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
2433 and rename any affected symbols.
2434 [Steve Henson]
2435
2436 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
2437 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
2438 [Steve Henson]
2439
2440 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
2441 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
2442 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
2443 [Steve Henson]
2444
2445 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2446 [Steve Henson]
2447
2448 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
2449 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
2450 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
2451 [Steve Henson]
2452
2453 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
2454 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
2455 [Steve Henson]
2456
2457 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
2458 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
2459 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
2460 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
2461 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
2462 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
2463 set before the key.
2464 [Steve Henson]
2465
2466 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
2467 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
2468 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
2469 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
2470 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
2471 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
2472 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
2473 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.

2480 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
2481
2482 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2483 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2484
2485 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
2486 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
2487 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
2488 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
2489 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
2490 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
2491
2492 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
2493 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
2494 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
2495 security.

2516 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
2517 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
2518 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
2519 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
2520 RAND_METHOD structure.
2521 [Steve Henson]
2522
2523 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
2524 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This

2537
2538 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
2539 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
2540 AES-NI.
2541
2542 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
2543 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
2544 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
2545 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
2546 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
2547 bytes.

2550 (CVE-2016-2107)
2551 [Kurt Roeckx]
2552
2553 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
2554
2555 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
2556 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
2557 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
2558 corruption.
2559
2560 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
2561 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
2562 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
2563 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
2564 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
2565 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
2566
2567 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2568 (CVE-2016-2105)
2569 [Matt Caswell]
2570
2571 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
2572
2573 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
2574 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
2575 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
2576 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
2577 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
2578 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
2579 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
2580 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
2581 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
2582 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
2583 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
2584 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
2585 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
2586 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
2587 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
2588 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.

2591 (CVE-2016-2106)
2592 [Matt Caswell]
2593
2594 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
2595
2596 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
2597 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
2598 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
2599
2600 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
2601 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
2602 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
2603 applications are not affected.

2631 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
2632
2633 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
2634 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
2635 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
2636 [Viktor Dukhovni]
2637
2638 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
2639 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
2640 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
2641 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
2642 will need to explicitly call either of:
2643
2644 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2645 or
2646 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2647
2648 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
2649 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
2650 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
2651 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
2652 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.

2656 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
2657
2658 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
2659 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
2660 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
2661 considered rare.
2662
2663 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
2664 libFuzzer.
2665 (CVE-2016-0705)
2666 [Stephen Henson]
2667
2668 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
2669
2670 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
2671
2672 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
2673 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
2674 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
2675 is configured.
2676
2677 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
2678 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
2679 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
2680 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
2681 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
2682 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
2683 that of a valid user.
2684 (CVE-2016-0798)
2685 [Emilia Käsper]
2686
2687 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
2688
2689 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
2690 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
2691 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
2692 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
2693 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
2694 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
2695 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
2696 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
2697 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
2698 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
2699 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
2700
2701 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
2702 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
2703 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
2704 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
2705 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
2706
2707 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
2708 (CVE-2016-0797)
2709 [Matt Caswell]
2710
2711 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
2712
2713 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
2714 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
2715 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
2716
2717 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
2718 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
2719 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
2720 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
2721 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
2722 also occur.
2723
2724 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
2725 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
2726 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
2727 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
2728 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
2729 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
2730 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
2731 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
2732 as command line arguments.
2733
2734 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
2735 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
2736 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
2737
2738 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.

2740 [Matt Caswell]
2741
2742 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
2743
2744 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
2745 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
2746 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
2747 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
2748 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
2749
2750 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of

2760 apps to use 2048 bits by default.

2762
2763 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
2764 *) DH small subgroups
2765
2766 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
2767 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
2768 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
2769 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
2770 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
2771 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
2772 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
2773 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
2774 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
2775 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
2776
2777 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
2778 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
2779 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
2780 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
2781 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
2782
2783 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
2784 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
2785 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
2786 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
2787
2788 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
2789 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
2790

2793 [Matt Caswell]
2794
2795 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
2796
2797 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
2798 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
2799 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
2800 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

2809 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
2810
2811 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
2812 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
2813 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
2814 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
2815 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
2816 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
2817 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
2818 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
2819 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
2820 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
2821 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
2822 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

2829
2830 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2831 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2832 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
2833 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
2834 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
2835 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
2836 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client

2867 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
2868
2869 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
2870 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
2871 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
2872 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
2873 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
2874 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.

2891 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
2892 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
2893 field.
2894
2895 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
2896 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
2897 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
2898 client authentication enabled.

2906 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
2907 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
2908 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
2909 time string.
2910
2911 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
2912 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
2913 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
2914 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client

2953 [Matt Caswell]
2954
2955 *) Only support 256-bit or stronger elliptic curves with the
2956 'ecdh_auto' setting (server) or by default (client). Of supported
2957 curves, prefer P-256 (both).

2960 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
2961
2962 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
2963
2964 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
2965 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
2966 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
2967
2968 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
2969 University.
2970 (CVE-2015-0291)
2971 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
2972
2973 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
2974
2975 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
2976 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
2977 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
2978 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
2979 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
2980 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
2981 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
2982 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
2983
2984 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
2985 (CVE-2015-0290)
2986 [Matt Caswell]
2987
2988 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
2989
2990 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
2991 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
2992 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
2993 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
2994 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
2995 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
2996 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
2997 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
2998 server.
2999
3000 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
3001 (CVE-2015-0207)
3002 [Matt Caswell]
3003
3004 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
3005
3006 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
3007 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
3008 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
3009 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
3010 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
3011 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
3012 (CVE-2015-0286)
3013 [Stephen Henson]
3014
3015 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
3016
3017 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
3018 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
3019 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
3020 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
3021 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
3022 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
3023 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
3024
3025 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
3026 (CVE-2015-0208)
3027 [Stephen Henson]
3028
3029 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
3030
3031 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
3032 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
3033 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
3034
3035 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
3036 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
3037 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
3038 not affected.
3039 (CVE-2015-0287)
3040 [Stephen Henson]
3041
3042 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
3043
3044 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
3045 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
3046 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
3047
3048 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
3049 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
3050 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
3051
3052 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
3053 (CVE-2015-0289)
3054 [Emilia Käsper]
3055
3056 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
3057
3058 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
3059 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
3060 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
3061
3062 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
3063 (OpenSSL development team).
3064 (CVE-2015-0293)
3065 [Emilia Käsper]
3066
3067 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
3068
3069 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
3070 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
3071 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
3072 (CVE-2015-1787)
3073 [Matt Caswell]
3074
3075 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
3076
3077 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
3078 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
3079 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
3080 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
3081 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
3082 SSL_client_methodv23)
3083 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
3084 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
3085
3086 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
3087 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
3088 output may be predictable.
3089
3090 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
3091 succeed on an unpatched platform:
3092
3093 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
3094 (CVE-2015-0285)
3095 [Matt Caswell]
3096
3097 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
3098
3099 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
3100 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
3101 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
3102 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
3103 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
3104 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
3105
3106 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
3107 commit 517073cd4b.
3108 (CVE-2015-0209)
3109 [Matt Caswell]
3110
3111 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
3112
3113 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
3114 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
3115
3116 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
3117 (CVE-2015-0288)
3118 [Stephen Henson]
3119
3120 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
3121 [Kurt Roeckx]
3122
3123 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
3124
3125 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
3126 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
3127 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
3128 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
3129 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
3130 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
3131 [Andy Polyakov]
3132
3133 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
3134 (other platforms pending).
3135 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
3136
3137 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
3138 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
3139 [Rob Stradling]
3140
3141 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
3142 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
3143 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
3144 [Bodo Moeller]
3145
3146 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
3147 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
3148 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
3149 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
3150 [Andy Polyakov]
3151
3152 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
3153 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
3154
3155 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
3156 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
3157 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
3158 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
3159 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
3160
3161 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
3162 [Andy Polyakov]
3163
3164 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
3165 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
3166 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
3167 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
3168
3169 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
3170 RSAZ.
3171 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
3172
3173 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
3174 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
3175 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
3176 for TLS encrypt.
3177
3178 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
3179 [Andy Polyakov]
3180
3181 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
3182 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
3183 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
3184 [Steve Henson]
3185
3186 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
3187 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
3188 [Steve Henson]
3189
3190 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
3191 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
3192 [Steve Henson]
3193
3194 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
3195 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
3196 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
3197 algorithms and include tests cases.
3198 [Steve Henson]
3199
3200 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
3201 structure.
3202 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
3203
3204 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
3205 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
3206 [Steve Henson]
3207
3208 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
3209 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
3210 summary of the connection parameters.
3211 [Steve Henson]
3212
3213 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
3214 of connection parameters.
3215 [Steve Henson]
3216
3217 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
3218 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
3219
3220 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
3221 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
3222 [Steve Henson]
3223
3224 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
3225 [Steve Henson]
3226
3227 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
3228 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
3229 [Steve Henson]
3230
3231 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
3232 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
3233 [Steve Henson]
3234
3235 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
3236 certificates.
3237 [Steve Henson]
3238
3239 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
3240 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
3241 CRLs using the OCSP API.
3242 [Steve Henson]
3243
3244 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
3245 [Steve Henson]
3246
3247 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
3248 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
3249 [Steve Henson]
3250
3251 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
3252 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
3253 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
3254 tracing.
3255 [Steve Henson]
3256
3257 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
3258 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
3259 [Steve Henson]
3260
3261 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
3262 OID NID.
3263 [Steve Henson]
3264
3265 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
3266 client to OpenSSL.
3267 [Steve Henson]
3268
3269 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
3270 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
3271 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
3272 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
3273 [Steve Henson]
3274
3275 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
3276 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
3277 [Steve Henson]
3278
3279 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
3280 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
3281 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
3282 comparison.
3283 [Steve Henson]
3284
3285 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
3286 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
3287 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
3288 use the certificate.
3289 [Steve Henson]
3290
3291 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
3292 [Steve Henson]
3293
3294 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
3295 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
3296 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
3297 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
3298 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
3299 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
3300 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
3301
3302 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
3303 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
3304
3305 [Steve Henson]
3306
3307 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
3308 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
3309 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
3310 [Steve Henson]
3311
3312 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
3313 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
3314 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
3315 supported signature algorithms.
3316 [Steve Henson]
3317
3318 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
3319 [Steve Henson]
3320
3321 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
3322 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
3323 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
3324 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
3325 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
3326 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
3327 certificate and specify the whole chain.
3328 [Steve Henson]
3329
3330 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
3331 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
3332 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
3333 to have similar checks in it.
3334
3335 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
3336 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
3337 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
3338 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
3339 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
3340 [Steve Henson]
3341
3342 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
3343 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
3344 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
3345 shared signature algorithms.
3346 [Steve Henson]
3347
3348 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
3349 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
3350 to support them.
3351 [Steve Henson]
3352
3353 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
3354 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
3355 it couldn't be removed.
3356 [Steve Henson]
3357
3358 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
3359 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
3360 [Steve Henson]
3361
3362 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
3363 functions. Add manual page.
3364 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
3365
3366 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
3367 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
3368 a certificate.
3369 [Steve Henson]
3370
3371 *) Fix OCSP checking.
3372 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
3373
3374 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
3375 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
3376 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
3377 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
3378 utility) or reject.
3379 [Steve Henson]
3380
3381 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
3382 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
3383 [Steve Henson]
3384
3385 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
3386 platform support for Linux and Android.
3387 [Andy Polyakov]
3388
3389 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
3390 [Andy Polyakov]
3391
3392 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
3393 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
3394 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
3395 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
3396 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
3397 [Steve Henson]
3398
3399 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
3400 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
3401 the new parameter format automatically.
3402 [Steve Henson]
3403
3404 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
3405 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
3406 [Steve Henson]
3407
3408 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
3409 [Steve Henson]
3410
3411 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
3412 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
3413 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
3414 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
3415 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
3416 [Steve Henson]
3417
3418 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
3419 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
3420 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
3421 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
3422 to set list of supported curves.
3423 [Steve Henson]
3424
3425 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
3426 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
3427 to print out received values.
3428 [Steve Henson]
3429
3430 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
3431 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
3432 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
3433 [Steve Henson]
3434
3435 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
3436 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
3437 [Steve Henson]
3438
3439 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
3440 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
3441 [Steve Henson]
3442
3443 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
3444 certificates.
3445 [Steve Henson]
3446
3447 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
3448 the certificate.
3449 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
3450 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
3451 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
3452
3453 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
3454
3455 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
3456 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
3457
3458 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
3459
3460 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
3461 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
3462 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
3463 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
3464 (CVE-2014-3571)
3465 [Steve Henson]
3466
3467 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
3468 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
3469 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
3470 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
3471 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
3472 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
3473 (CVE-2015-0206)
3474 [Matt Caswell]
3475
3476 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
3477 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
3478 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
3479 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
3480 (CVE-2014-3569)
3481 [Kurt Roeckx]
3482
3483 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
3484 ECDH ciphersuites.
3485
3486 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
3487 reporting this issue.
3488 (CVE-2014-3572)
3489 [Steve Henson]
3490
3491 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
3492 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
3493 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
3494 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
3495 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
3496 INRIA or reporting this issue.
3497 (CVE-2015-0204)
3498 [Steve Henson]
3499
3500 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
3501 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
3502 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
3503 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
3504 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
3505 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
3506 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
3507 this issue.
3508 (CVE-2015-0205)
3509 [Steve Henson]
3510
3511 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
3512 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
3513
3514 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
3515 and can vary with the CTX.
3516 [Adam Langley]
3517
3518 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
3519
3520 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
3521 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
3522 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
3523 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
3524 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
3525
3526 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
3527
3528 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
3529 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
3530
3531 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
3532
3533 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
3534 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
3535 errors for some broken certificates.
3536
3537 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
3538
3539 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
3540
3541 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
3542 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
3543
3544 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
3545 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
3546 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
3547 (negative or with leading zeroes).
3548
3549 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
3550 of the OpenSSL core team.
3551
3552 (CVE-2014-8275)
3553 [Steve Henson]
3554
3555 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
3556 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
3557 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
3558 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
3559 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
3560 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
3561 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
3562 the OpenSSL core team.
3563 (CVE-2014-3570)
3564 [Andy Polyakov]
3565
3566 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
3567 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
3568 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
3569 sanity and breaks all known clients.
3570 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
3571
3572 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
3573 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
3574 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
3575 [Emilia Käsper]
3576
3577 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
3578 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
3579 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3580 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
3581 announced in the initial ServerHello.
3582
3583 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
3584 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3585 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
3586 [Emilia Käsper]
3587
3588 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
3589
3590 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
3591
3592 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
3593 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
3594 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
3595 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
3596 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
3597 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
3598 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
3599
3600 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
3601 (CVE-2014-3513)
3602 [OpenSSL team]
3603
3604 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
3605
3606 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
3607 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
3608 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
3609 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
3610 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
3611 attack.
3612 (CVE-2014-3567)
3613 [Steve Henson]
3614
3615 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
3616
3617 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
3618 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
3619 configured to send them.
3620 (CVE-2014-3568)
3621 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
3622
3623 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
3624 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
3625 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
3626 (CVE-2014-3566)
3627 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3628
3629 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
3630
3631 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
3632 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
3633 DigestInfo structures.
3634
3635 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
3636
3637 [Steve Henson]
3638
3639 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
3640
3641 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
3642 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
3643 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
3644
3645 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
3646 Group for discovering this issue.
3647 (CVE-2014-3512)
3648 [Steve Henson]
3649
3650 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
3651 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
3652 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
3653 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
3654 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
3655
3656 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
3657 researching this issue.
3658 (CVE-2014-3511)
3659 [David Benjamin]
3660
3661 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
3662 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
3663 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
3664 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
3665
3666 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
3667 issue.
3668 (CVE-2014-3510)
3669 [Emilia Käsper]
3670
3671 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
3672 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3673 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3674 (CVE-2014-3507)
3675 [Adam Langley]
3676
3677 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
3678 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
3679 Denial of Service attack.
3680 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3681 (CVE-2014-3506)
3682 [Adam Langley]
3683
3684 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
3685 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
3686 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3687 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
3688 this issue.
3689 (CVE-2014-3505)
3690 [Adam Langley]
3691
3692 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
3693 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
3694 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
3695
3696 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
3697 issue.
3698 (CVE-2014-3509)
3699 [Gabor Tyukasz]
3700
3701 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
3702 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
3703 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
3704 Denial of Service attack.
3705
3706 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
3707 discovering and researching this issue.
3708 (CVE-2014-5139)
3709 [Steve Henson]
3710
3711 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
3712 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
3713 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
3714 output to the attacker.
3715
3716 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
3717 (CVE-2014-3508)
3718 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
3719
3720 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
3721 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
3722 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
3723 [Bodo Moeller]
3724
3725 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
3726
3727 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
3728 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
3729 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
3730
3731 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
3732 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
3733 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
3734
3735 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
3736 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
3737 in a DoS attack.
3738
3739 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
3740 (CVE-2014-0221)
3741 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
3742
3743 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
3744 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
3745 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
3746 code on a vulnerable client or server.
3747
3748 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
3749 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
3750
3751 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
3752 are subject to a denial of service attack.
3753
3754 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
3755 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
3756 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
3757
3758 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
3759 compilation flags.
3760 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3761
3762 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
3763 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
3764 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3765
3766 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
3767 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3768
3769 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
3770
3771 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
3772 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
3773 server.
3774
3775 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
3776 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
3777 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
3778 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3779
3780 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
3781 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
3782 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
3783 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
3784
3785 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
3786 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
3787 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
3788
3789 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
3790
3791 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
3792 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
3793 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
3794 is at least 512 bytes long.
3795
3796 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
3797
3798 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
3799
3800 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
3801 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
3802 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
3803 (CVE-2013-4353)
3804
3805 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
3806 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
3807 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
3808 [Steve Henson]
3809
3810 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
3811 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
3812 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
3813 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
3814 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
3815 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
3816 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
3817
3818 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
3819
3820 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
3821 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
3822 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3823
3824 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
3825
3826 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
3827
3828 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
3829 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
3830 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
3831
3832 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3833 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3834 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
3835 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
3836 (CVE-2013-0169)
3837 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3838
3839 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
3840 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
3841 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
3842 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
3843 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
3844 (CVE-2012-2686)
3845 [Adam Langley]
3846
3847 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
3848 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
3849 [Steve Henson]
3850
3851 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
3852 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3853
3854 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
3855 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
3856 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
3857 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
3858 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
3859
3860 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
3861 [Steve Henson]
3862
3863 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
3864 if renegotiating.
3865 [Steve Henson]
3866
3867 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
3868
3869 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
3870 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
3871
3872 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
3873 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
3874 (CVE-2012-2333)
3875 [Steve Henson]
3876
3877 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
3878 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
3879 [Steve Henson]
3880
3881 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
3882 approved.
3883 [Steve Henson]
3884
3885 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
3886
3887 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
3888 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
3889 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
3890 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disabling
3891 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
3892 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
3893 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
3894 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
3895 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
3896 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
3897 [Steve Henson]
3898
3899 *) In order to ensure interoperability SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
3900 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
3901 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
3902 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
3903 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
3904 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
3905 client side.
3906 [Andy Polyakov]
3907
3908 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
3909
3910 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
3911 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
3912 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
3913
3914 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
3915 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
3916 (CVE-2012-2110)
3917 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
3918
3919 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
3920 [Adam Langley]
3921
3922 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
3923 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
3924
3925 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
3926 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
3927 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
3928 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
3929 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
3930 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
3931 Most broken servers should now work.
3932 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
3933 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
3934 [Steve Henson]
3935
3936 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
3937 [Andy Polyakov]
3938
3939 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
3940
3941 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
3942 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
3943 [Steve Henson]
3944
3945 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
3946 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
3947 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
3948 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
3949 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
3950 [Steve Henson]
3951
3952 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
3953 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
3954 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
3955 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
3956 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
3957 [Steve Henson]
3958
3959 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
3960 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3961
3962 *) Add support for SCTP.
3963 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3964
3965 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3966 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3967
3968 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
3969
3970 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
3971 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
3972 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
3973 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
3974 - s390x: z196 support;
3975 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
3976
3977 [Andy Polyakov]
3978
3979 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
3980 (removal of unnecessary code)
3981 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
3982
3983 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
3984 [Eric Rescorla]
3985
3986 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
3987 [Eric Rescorla]
3988
3989 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
3990 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
3991 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
3992 by Google.
3993 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3994
3995 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
3996 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
3997 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
3998 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
3999 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
4000
4001 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
4002 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
4003 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
4004
4005 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
4006 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
4007 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
4008
4009 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
4010 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
4011 implementations).
4012 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4013
4014 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
4015 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
4016 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
4017 [Steve Henson]
4018
4019 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
4020 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
4021 particular PSS.
4022 [Steve Henson]
4023
4024 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
4025 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
4026 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
4027 [Steve Henson]
4028
4029 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
4030 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
4031 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
4032 the appropriate parameters.
4033 [Steve Henson]
4034
4035 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
4036 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
4037 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
4038 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
4039 against a number of sample certificates.
4040 [Steve Henson]
4041
4042 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
4043 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
4044
4045 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
4046 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
4047
4048 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
4049 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
4050 parameters r, s.
4051 [Steve Henson]
4052
4053 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
4054 RFC3211.
4055 [Steve Henson]
4056
4057 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
4058 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
4059 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
4060 password based CMS).
4061 [Steve Henson]
4062
4063 *) Session-handling fixes:
4064 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
4065 but also support Session Tickets.
4066 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
4067 presented a ticket with an expired session.
4068 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
4069 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
4070 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
4071 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4072
4073 *) Fix PSK session representation.
4074 [Bodo Moeller]
4075
4076 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
4077
4078 This work was sponsored by Intel.
4079 [Andy Polyakov]
4080
4081 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
4082 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
4083 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
4084 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
4085 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
4086 [Steve Henson]
4087
4088 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
4089 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
4090 [Steve Henson]
4091
4092 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
4093 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
4094 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
4095 [Steve Henson]
4096
4097 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
4098 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
4099 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
4100 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
4101 [Steve Henson]
4102
4103 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
4104 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
4105 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
4106 [Steve Henson]
4107
4108 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
4109 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
4110
4111 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
4112 [Steve Henson]
4113
4114 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
4115 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
4116 [Steve Henson]
4117
4118 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
4119 [Steve Henson]
4120
4121 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
4122 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
4123 [Steve Henson]
4124
4125 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
4126 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
4127 [Steve Henson]
4128
4129 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
4130 [Steve Henson]
4131
4132 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
4133 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
4134 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
4135 [Steve Henson]
4136
4137 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
4138 [Steve Henson]
4139
4140 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
4141 [Steve Henson]
4142
4143 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
4144 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
4145 [Steve Henson]
4146
4147 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
4148 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
4149 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
4150 [Steve Henson]
4151
4152 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
4153 [Steve Henson]
4154
4155 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
4156 and enable MD5.
4157 [Steve Henson]
4158
4159 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
4160 FIPS modules versions.
4161 [Steve Henson]
4162
4163 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
4164 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
4165 until after the certificate request message is received.
4166 [Steve Henson]
4167
4168 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
4169 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
4170 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
4171 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
4172 [Steve Henson]
4173
4174 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
4175 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
4176 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
4177 support yet and no support for client certificates.
4178 [Steve Henson]
4179
4180 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
4181 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
4182 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
4183 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
4184 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
4185 and version checking.
4186 [Steve Henson]
4187
4188 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
4189 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
4190 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
4191 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
4192 [Steve Henson]
4193
4194 *) A long standing patch to add support for SRP from EdelWeb (Peter
4195 Sylvester and Christophe Renou) was integrated.
4196 [Christophe Renou <christophe.renou@edelweb.fr>, Peter Sylvester
4197 <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>, Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu>, and
4198 Ben Laurie]
4199
4200 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
4201 [Steve Henson]
4202
4203 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
4204 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
4205 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
4206
4207 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
4208 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
4209 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
4210 [Steve Henson]
4211
4212 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
4213 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
4214
4215 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
4216 a few changes are required:
4217
4218 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
4219 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
4220 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
4221 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
4222 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
4223 [Steve Henson]
4224
4225 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
4226
4227 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
4228 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
4229 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
4230 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
4231 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
4232 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
4233 an MMA defence is not necessary.
4234 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
4235 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
4236 [Steve Henson]
4237
4238 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
4239 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
4240 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
4241 [Steve Henson]
4242
4243 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
4244
4245 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
4246 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
4247 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
4248 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
4249 [Antonio Martin]
4250
4251 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
4252
4253 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
4254 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
4255 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
4256 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
4257 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
4258 paper describing this attack can be found at:
4259 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
4260 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
4261 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
4262 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
4263 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
4264 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
4265 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
4266
4267 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
4268 (CVE-2011-4576)
4269 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4270
4271 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
4272 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
4273 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
4274 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4275
4276 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
4277 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
4278
4279 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
4280 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
4281 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
4282 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4283
4284 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
4285 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
4286
4287 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
4288 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4289
4290 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
4291 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
4292
4293 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
4294 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
4295 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4296
4297 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
4298 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
4299 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
4300
4301 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
4302 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
4303 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
4304 the last update always remained unused).
4305 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
4306
4307 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
4308 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
4309
4310 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
4311
4312 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
4313 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
4314 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
4315
4316 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
4317 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
4318 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4319
4320 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
4321 [Bodo Moeller]
4322
4323 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
4324 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
4325 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
4326 [Steve Henson]
4327
4328 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
4329 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
4330
4331 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
4332
4333 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
4334
4335 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
4336
4337 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
4338 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4339
4340 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
4341 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
4342 ambiguous.
4343 [Steve Henson]
4344
4345 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
4346
4347 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
4348 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
4349 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
4350 [Steve Henson]
4351
4352 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
4353 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
4354 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
4355 [Ben Laurie]
4356
4357 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
4358
4359 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
4360 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
4361 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
4362 [Steve Henson]
4363
4364 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
4365 a DLL.
4366 [Steve Henson]
4367
4368 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
4369
4370 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
4371 (CVE-2010-1633)
4372 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
4373
4374 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
4375
4376 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
4377 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
4378 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
4379 [Steve Henson]
4380
4381 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
4382 [Steve Henson]
4383
4384 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
4385 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
4386 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
4387
4388 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
4389 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
4390 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
4391 [Steve Henson]
4392
4393 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
4394 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
4395 [Steve Henson]
4396
4397 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
4398 some responders need this.
4399 [Steve Henson]
4400
4401 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
4402 correctly.
4403 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4404
4405 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
4406 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
4407 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
4408 [Steve Henson]
4409
4410 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
4411 [Steve Henson]
4412
4413 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
4414 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
4415 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
4416 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
4417 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
4418 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
4419 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
4420 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
4421 [Steve Henson]
4422
4423 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
4424 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
4425 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
4426 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4427
4428 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
4429 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
4430
4431 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
4432 be used on C++.
4433 [Steve Henson]
4434
4435 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
4436 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
4437 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
4438 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
4439 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
4440 attempting to work them out.
4441 [Steve Henson]
4442
4443 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
4444 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
4445 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
4446 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
4447 [Steve Henson]
4448
4449 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
4450 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
4451 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
4452 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
4453 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
4454 [Steve Henson]
4455
4456 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
4457 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
4458 you can do:
4459
4460 openssl sha256 foo
4461
4462 as well as:
4463
4464 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
4465
4466 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
4467
4468 [Steve Henson]
4469
4470 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
4471 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4472
4473 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
4474 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
4475
4476 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
4477 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
4478 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
4479 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
4480 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
4481 [Steve Henson]
4482
4483 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
4484 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
4485 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
4486 [Steve Henson]
4487
4488 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
4489 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
4490 [Steve Henson]
4491
4492 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
4493 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
4494
4495 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
4496 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
4497 [Steve Henson]
4498
4499 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
4500 [Ben Laurie]
4501
4502 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
4503 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
4504 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
4505 CONF_VALUE.
4506 [Ben Laurie]
4507
4508 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
4509 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
4510 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
4511 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
4512 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
4513 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
4514 [Steve Henson]
4515
4516 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
4517 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
4518
4519 This work was sponsored by Google.
4520 [Steve Henson]
4521
4522 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
4523 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
4524 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
4525 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
4526 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
4527 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
4528 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
4529 default.
4530
4531 This work was sponsored by Google.
4532 [Steve Henson]
4533
4534 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
4535
4536 This work was sponsored by Google.
4537 [Steve Henson]
4538
4539 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
4540 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
4541 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
4542 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
4543
4544 This work was sponsored by Google.
4545 [Steve Henson]
4546
4547 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
4548 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
4549 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
4550 CRL functionality in future.
4551
4552 This work was sponsored by Google.
4553 [Steve Henson]
4554
4555 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
4556
4557 This work was sponsored by Google.
4558 [Steve Henson]
4559
4560 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
4561 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
4562
4563 This work was sponsored by Google.
4564 [Steve Henson]
4565
4566 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
4567 and URI types are currently supported.
4568
4569 This work was sponsored by Google.
4570 [Steve Henson]
4571
4572 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
4573 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
4574 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
4575 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
4576 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
4577 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
4578 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
4579 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
4580
4581 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
4582 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
4583 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
4584
4585 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
4586 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
4587 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
4588 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
4589
4590 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
4591 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
4592 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
4593 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
4594 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
4595 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
4596 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
4597 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
4598 of &errno.)
4599 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
4600
4601 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
4602 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
4603 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
4604
4605 This work was sponsored by Google.
4606 [Steve Henson]
4607
4608 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
4609 [Ben Laurie]
4610
4611 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4612 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
4613 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
4614 [Ben Laurie]
4615
4616 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
4617 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
4618 [Nick Mathewson]
4619
4620 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4621 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
4622 [Ben Laurie]
4623
4624 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
4625 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
4626 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
4627 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
4628 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
4629 content types and variants.
4630 [Steve Henson]
4631
4632 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
4633 [Steve Henson]
4634
4635 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
4636 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
4637 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
4638 files from the associated perl scripts.
4639 [Steve Henson]
4640
4641 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
4642 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
4643 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4644
4645 *) s390x assembler pack.
4646 [Andy Polyakov]
4647
4648 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
4649 "family."
4650 [Andy Polyakov]
4651
4652 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
4653 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
4654 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
4655 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
4656 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
4657 to use. For example, specify an option
4658
4659 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
4660
4661 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
4662 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
4663 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
4664 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
4665 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
4666 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
4667
4668 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
4669 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
4670 an internal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
4671 return non-zero for success.
4672
4673 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
4674 by using
4675
4676 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
4677 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4678
4679 where
4680
4681 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
4682 void *arg;
4683
4684 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
4685 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
4686 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
4687 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
4688 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
4689 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
4690 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
4691 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
4692 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
4693
4694 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
4695 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
4696 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
4697 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
4698 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
4699 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
4700
4701 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
4702 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
4703 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
4704 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
4705 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
4706 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
4707
4708 [Bodo Moeller]
4709
4710 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
4711 MAC.
4712
4713 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4714
4715 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4716 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4717 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4718 supported.
4719
4720 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4721 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4722 SSL_SESSION.
4723
4724 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4725 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4726 with no application modification.
4727
4728 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4729 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4730
4731 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4732 or server extensions to be examined.
4733
4734 This work was sponsored by Google.
4735 [Steve Henson]
4736
4737 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
4738 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
4739 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
4740
4741 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
4742 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
4743 ciphersuite support.
4744 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
4745
4746 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
4747 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
4748 to output in BER and PEM format.
4749 [Steve Henson]
4750
4751 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
4752 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
4753 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
4754 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
4755 -macopt options to dgst utility.
4756 [Steve Henson]
4757
4758 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
4759 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
4760 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
4761 utility.
4762 [Steve Henson]
4763
4764 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
4765 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
4766 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
4767 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
4768 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
4769 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
4770 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
4771 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
4772 enabled again.
4773
4774 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
4775 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
4776 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
4777 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
4778
4779 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
4780 functionality) such that between otherwise identical
4781 ciphersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
4782 the default order.
4783 [Bodo Moeller]
4784
4785 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
4786 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
4787 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
4788 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
4789 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
4790 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
4791 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
4792 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
4793 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
4794
4795 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
4796 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
4797 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
4798 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
4799 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
4800 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
4801 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
4802 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
4803 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
4804 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
4805 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
4806 kinds of kludges.
4807
4808 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
4809 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
4810 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
4811
4812 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
4813 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
4814 "CAMELLIA256".
4815 [Bodo Moeller]
4816
4817 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
4818 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
4819 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
4820 [Nils Larsch]
4821
4822 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
4823 it yet and it is largely untested.
4824 [Steve Henson]
4825
4826 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
4827 [Nils Larsch]
4828
4829 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
4830 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
4831 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
4832 [Steve Henson]
4833
4834 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
4835 [Andy Polyakov]
4836
4837 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
4838 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
4839 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
4840 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
4841 [Steve Henson]
4842
4843 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
4844 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
4845 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
4846 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
4847 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
4848 [Steve Henson]
4849
4850 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
4851 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
4852 [Cryptocom]
4853
4854 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
4855 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
4856 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
4857 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
4858 [Steve Henson]
4859
4860 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
4861 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
4862 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
4863 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
4864 [Steve Henson]
4865
4866 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
4867 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
4868 [Steve Henson]
4869
4870 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
4871 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
4872 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
4873 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
4874 [Steve Henson]
4875
4876 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
4877 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
4878 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
4879 [Steve Henson]
4880
4881 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
4882 utility.
4883 [Steve Henson]
4884
4885 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
4886 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
4887 [Steve Henson]
4888
4889 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
4890 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
4891 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
4892 if necessary.
4893 [Steve Henson]
4894
4895 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
4896 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
4897 to free up any added signature OIDs.
4898 [Steve Henson]
4899
4900 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
4901 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
4902 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
4903 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
4904 [Steve Henson]
4905
4906 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
4907 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
4908 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
4909 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
4910 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
4911 the array representation useful in a more general context.
4912 [Douglas Stebila]
4913
4914 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
4915 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
4916 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
4917 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
4918 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
4919
4920 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
4921 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
4922 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
4923 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
4924 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
4925 protocol).
4926
4927 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
4928 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
4929 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
4930 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
4931
4932 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
4933 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
4934 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
4935 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
4936 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
4937
4938 aECDH - ECDH cert
4939 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
4940 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
4941
4942 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
4943 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
4944
4945 [Bodo Moeller]
4946
4947 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
4948 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
4949 [Steve Henson]
4950
4951 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
4952 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
4953 [Steve Henson]
4954
4955 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
4956 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
4957 functional reference processing.
4958 [Steve Henson]
4959
4960 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enhanced versions of
4961 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
4962 process.
4963 [Steve Henson]
4964
4965 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
4966 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
4967 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
4968 [Steve Henson]
4969
4970 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
4971 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
4972 application to support multiple signers.
4973 [Steve Henson]
4974
4975 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
4976 digest MAC.
4977 [Steve Henson]
4978
4979 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
4980 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
4981 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
4982 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
4983 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
4984 [Steve Henson]
4985
4986 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
4987 new API.
4988 [Steve Henson]
4989
4990 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
4991 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
4992 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
4993 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
4994 a no op.
4995 [Steve Henson]
4996
4997 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
4998 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
4999 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
5000 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
5001 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
5002 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
5003 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
5004 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
5005 [Steve Henson]
5006
5007 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
5008 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
5009 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
5010 between digests and public key types.
5011 [Steve Henson]
5012
5013 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
5014 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
5015 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
5016 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
5017 [Steve Henson]
5018
5019 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
5020 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
5021 key ASN1 method.
5022 [Steve Henson]
5023
5024 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
5025 [Steve Henson]
5026
5027 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
5028 pkeyutl.
5029 [Steve Henson]
5030
5031 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
5032 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
5033 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
5034 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
5035 pkey, genpkey.
5036 [Steve Henson]
5037
5038 *) BeOS support.
5039 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
5040
5041 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
5042 manual pages.
5043 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
5044
5045 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
5046 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
5047 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
5048 functionality for RSA.
5049 [Steve Henson]
5050
5051 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
5052 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
5053 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
5054 [Steve Henson]
5055
5056 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
5057 key API, doesn't do much yet.
5058 [Steve Henson]
5059
5060 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
5061 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
5062 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
5063 [Steve Henson]
5064
5065 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
5066 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
5067 [Douglas Stebila]
5068
5069 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
5070 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
5071 [Steve Henson]
5072
5073 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
5074 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
5075 type.
5076 [Steve Henson]
5077
5078 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
5079 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
5080 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
5081 structure.
5082 [Steve Henson]
5083
5084 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
5085 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
5086 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
5087 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
5088 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
5089 of public and private key structures.
5090 [Steve Henson]
5091
5092 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
5093 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
5094 [Douglas Stebila]
5095
5096 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
5097 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
5098 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
5099
5100 New ciphersuites:
5101 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
5102 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
5103
5104 New functions:
5105 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
5106 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
5107 SSL_get_psk_identity
5108 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
5109
5110 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
5111
5112 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
5113 and response verification functionality.
5114 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
5115
5116 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
5117 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
5118 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
5119 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
5120 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
5121 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
5122 server_name extension.
5123
5124 New functions (subject to change):
5125
5126 SSL_get_servername()
5127 SSL_get_servername_type()
5128 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
5129
5130 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
5131
5132 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
5133 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
5134 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
5135 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
5136 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
5137
5138 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
5139
5140 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
5141 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
5142 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
5143 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
5144 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
5145 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
5146 option.
5147
5148 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
5149
5150 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
5151 [Andy Polyakov]
5152
5153 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
5154 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
5155 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
5156 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
5157 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
5158 [Andy Polyakov]
5159
5160 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
5161 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
5162 macro.
5163 [Bodo Moeller]
5164
5165 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
5166 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
5167 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
5168 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
5169 [Andy Polyakov]
5170
5171 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
5172 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
5173 Save memory by setting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
5174 using the maximum available value.
5175 [Steve Henson]
5176
5177 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
5178 in addition to the text details.
5179 [Bodo Moeller]
5180
5181 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
5182 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
5183 handle several customised structures at all.
5184 [Steve Henson]
5185
5186 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
5187 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
5188 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
5189 [Steve Henson]
5190
5191 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
5192 [Steve Henson]
5193
5194 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
5195 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
5196 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
5197 [Steve Henson]
5198
5199 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
5200 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
5201 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
5202 [Nils Larsch]
5203
5204 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
5205 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
5206 all fields.
5207 [Steve Henson]
5208
5209 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
5210 [Steve Henson]
5211
5212 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
5213 [NTT]
5214
5215 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
5216
5217 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
5218 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
5219 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
5220 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
5221 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
5222 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
5223 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
5224 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
5225
5226 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
5227 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
5228 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
5229
5230 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
5231
5232 *) Always check bn_wexpand() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
5233 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
5234
5235 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
5236 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
5237 [Bodo Moeller]
5238
5239 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
5240 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
5241 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
5242 [Steve Henson]
5243
5244 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
5245 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
5246 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
5247 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
5248 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
5249 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
5250 [Steve Henson]
5251
5252 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
5253 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
5254 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
5255 [Steve Henson]
5256
5257 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
5258 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
5259 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
5260 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
5261 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
5262 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
5263 CVE-2009-4355.
5264 [Steve Henson]
5265
5266 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
5267 change when encrypting or decrypting.
5268 [Bodo Moeller]
5269
5270 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
5271 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
5272 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
5273 [Steve Henson]
5274
5275 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
5276 [Steve Henson]
5277
5278 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
5279 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
5280 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
5281 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
5282 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
5283 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
5284 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
5285 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
5286 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
5287 [Steve Henson]
5288
5289 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
5290 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
5291 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
5292 [Steve Henson]
5293
5294 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
5295 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
5296 [Steve Henson]
5297
5298 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
5299 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
5300 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
5301 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
5302 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
5303 know what you are doing.
5304 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
5305
5306 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
5307 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
5308 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
5309 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
5310 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
5311 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
5312 the handshake.
5313 [Steve Henson]
5314
5315 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
5316 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
5317 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
5318 correctly.
5319 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
5320
5321 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
5322 warnings in other configurations.
5323 [Steve Henson]
5324
5325 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
5326 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
5327 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
5328 systems need.
5329 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
5330
5331 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
5332 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
5333 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
5334
5335 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
5336 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
5337 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
5338 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
5339 [Steve Henson]
5340
5341 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
5342 and restored.
5343 [Steve Henson]
5344
5345 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
5346 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
5347 clash.
5348 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
5349
5350 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
5351 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
5352 other than a simple chain.
5353 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
5354
5355 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
5356 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
5357 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
5358 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
5359 [Steve Henson]
5360
5361 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
5362 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
5363 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
5364 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
5365 left. Additionally every future message was buffered, even if the
5366 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
5367 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
5368 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
5369 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
5370
5371 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
5372 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
5373 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
5374 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
5375 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
5376 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
5377 (CVE-2009-1377)
5378 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
5379
5380 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
5381 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
5382 [Daniel Mentz]
5383
5384 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
5385 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
5386
5387 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
5388 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
5389
5390 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
5391
5392 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
5393 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
5394 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
5395 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
5396 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
5397 you're doing.

5399
5400 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
5401
5402 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
5403 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
5404 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
5405 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
5406
5407 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
5408 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
5409 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
5410 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
5411
5412 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
5413 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
5414 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
5415 [Steve Henson]
5416
5417 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
5418 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
5419 level.
5420 [Steve Henson]
5421
5422 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
5423 to handle some structures.
5424 [Steve Henson]
5425
5426 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
5427 for a '\n'
5428 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
5429
5430 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
5431 [Matthieu Herrb]
5432
5433 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
5434 [Steve Henson]
5435
5436 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
5437 [Steve Henson]
5438
5439 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
5440 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
5441 chosen compiler.
5442 [Ben Laurie]
5443
5444 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
5445
5446 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
5447 (CVE-2008-5077).
5448 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
5449
5450 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
5451 [Ben Laurie]
5452
5453 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
5454 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
5455 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
5456 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
5457
5458 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
5459 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
5460
5461 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
5462 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
5463 [Bodo Moeller]
5464
5465 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
5466 s_client and s_server.
5467 [Ben Laurie]
5468
5469 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
5470 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
5471
5472 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
5473 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
5474
5475 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
5476 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
5477 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
5478 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
5479 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
5480 [Bodo Moeller]
5481
5482 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
5483
5484 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
5485 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
5486 [PR #1679]
5487
5488 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
5489 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
5490 [Nagendra Modadugu]
5491
5492 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
5493 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
5494 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
5495 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
5496
5497 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
5498 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
5499
5500 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
5501
5502 *) Various precautionary measures:
5503
5504 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
5505
5506 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
5507 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
5508 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
5509
5510 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
5511 outside the expected range.
5512
5513 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
5514 builds.
5515
5516 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
5517
5518 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
5519 the load fails. Useful for distros.
5520 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
5521
5522 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
5523 [Steve Henson]
5524
5525 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
5526 [Huang Ying]
5527
5528 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
5529
5530 This work was sponsored by Logica.
5531 [Steve Henson]
5532
5533 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
5534 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
5535 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
5536
5537 This work was sponsored by Logica.
5538 [Steve Henson]
5539
5540 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
5541 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
5542 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
5543 files.
5544 [Steve Henson]
5545
5546 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
5547
5548 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
5549 handshake which could lead to a client crash as found using the
5550 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
5551 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
5552
5553 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
5554 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
5555 [Joe Orton]
5556
5557 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
5558
5559 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
5560 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
5561 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
5562
5563 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
5564
5565 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
5566 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
5567 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
5568 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
5569 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5570
5571 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
5572 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
5573 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
5574 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
5575 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
5576 invalid read after the end of 'db').
5577 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
5578
5579 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
5580
5581 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
5582 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
5583 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
5584 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
5585 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
5586
5587 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
5588 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
5589
5590 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
5591 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
5592 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
5593 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
5594 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
5595
5596 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
5597
5598 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
5599 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
5600 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
5601 sets may exist with different names.
5602 [Steve Henson]
5603
5604 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
5605 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
5606 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
5607 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
5608 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
5609 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
5610 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
5611 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
5612 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
5613 implementation.
5614 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
5615
5616 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
5617 implementation in the following ways:
5618
5619 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
5620 hard coded.
5621
5622 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
5623 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
5624 ignored for embedded content.
5625
5626 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
5627 with the enable-cms configuration option.
5628 [Steve Henson]
5629
5630 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
5631 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
5632 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
5633 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
5634
5635 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
5636 uncompresses any data passed through it.
5637 [Steve Henson]
5638
5639 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
5640 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
5641 [Steve Henson]
5642
5643 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
5644 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
5645 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
5646 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
5647 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
5648 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
5649 data.
5650 [Steve Henson]
5651
5652 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
5653 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
5654 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
5655
5656 *) Netware support:
5657
5658 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
5659 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
5660 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
5661 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
5662 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
5663 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
5664 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
5665 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
5666 platform
5667 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
5668 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
5669 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
5670 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
5671 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
5672 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
5673 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
5674
5675 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
5676 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
5677 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
5678 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
5679 to s_client and s_server.
5680 [Steve Henson]
5681
5682 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
5683
5684 *) Fix various bugs:
5685 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
5686 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
5687 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
5688 + Fix ia64 assembler code
5689 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
5690
5691 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
5692
5693 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
5694 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
5695 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
5696 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
5697 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
5698 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
5699 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
5700 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
5701 [Andy Polyakov]
5702
5703 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
5704 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
5705 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
5706 Steve Henson]
5707
5708 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
5709 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
5710 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
5711 supported.
5712
5713 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
5714 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
5715 SSL_SESSION.
5716
5717 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
5718 protection in servers so again support should be possible
5719 with no application modification.
5720
5721 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
5722 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
5723
5724 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
5725 or server extensions to be examined.
5726
5727 This work was sponsored by Google.
5728 [Steve Henson]
5729
5730 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
5731 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
5732 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
5733 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
5734 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
5735 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
5736 server_name extension.
5737
5738 New functions (subject to change):
5739
5740 SSL_get_servername()
5741 SSL_get_servername_type()
5742 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
5743
5744 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
5745
5746 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
5747 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
5748 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
5749 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
5750 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
5751
5752 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
5753
5754 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
5755 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
5756 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
5757 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
5758 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
5759 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
5760 option.
5761
5762 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
5763
5764 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
5765 [Steve Henson]
5766
5767 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
5768 [Andy Polyakov]
5769
5770 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
5771 (which previously caused an internal error).
5772 [Bodo Moeller]
5773
5774 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
5775 [Ben Laurie]
5776
5777 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
5778 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
5779
5780 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
5781 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
5782 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
5783
5784 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
5785 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
5786 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
5787 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
5788
5789 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5790 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5791 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
5792 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
5793
5794 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
5795 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
5796 information. For detailed background information, see
5797 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
5798 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
5799 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
5800 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
5801 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
5802 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
5803 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
5804 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
5805 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
5806 remove a conditional branch.
5807
5808 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
5809 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
5810 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
5811 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
5812 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
5813 remains as a deprecated alias.
5814
5815 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
5816 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
5817 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
5818 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
5819
5820 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
5821 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
5822 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
5823 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
5824 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
5825 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
5826 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
5827 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
5828
5829 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
5830
5831 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
5832 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
5833 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
5834 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
5835 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
5836 with applications using a single external cache for quite
5837 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
5838 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
5839 in a different context.
5840 [Bodo Moeller]
5841
5842 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5843 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5844 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5845 [Bodo Moeller]
5846
5847 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
5848 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
5849 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
5850
5851 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
5852
5853 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
5854 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
5855 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5856 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
5857 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
5858 [Victor Duchovni]
5859
5860 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
5861 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
5862 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
5863 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
5864 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
5865 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
5866 [Bodo Moeller]
5867
5868 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5869 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5870 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5871 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5872 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5873 [Bodo Moeller]
5874
5875 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
5876 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
5877
5878 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5879 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5880 Improve header file function name parsing.
5881 [Steve Henson]
5882
5883 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
5884 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
5885 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
5886
5887 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
5888
5889 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5890 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5891 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5892
5893 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5894 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5895
5896 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5897 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5898
5899 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5900 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5901 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5902
5903 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
5904 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
5905 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
5906 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
5907 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
5908 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
5909 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
5910 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
5911 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
5912
5913 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
5914 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
5915 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
5916 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
5917 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
5918
5919 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
5920 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
5921 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
5922 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
5923 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
5924 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
5925 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
5926 multiple values to extend the available space.
5927
5928 [Bodo Moeller]
5929
5930 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
5931
5932 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5933 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5934
5935 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
5936 [Ben Laurie]
5937
5938 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5939 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5940 undesirable limitations.
5941 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5942
5943 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
5944 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
5945 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
5946 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
5947 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
5948 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
5949 to avoid potential handshake problems.
5950 [Bodo Moeller]
5951
5952 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5953
5954 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5955 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5956 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5957
5958 The latter two were purportedly from
5959 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5960 appear there.
5961
5962 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
5963 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5964 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5965 [Bodo Moeller]
5966
5967 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5968 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5969 [Bodo Moeller]
5970
5971 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
5972 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
5973 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
5974 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
5975
5976 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5977 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5978 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
5979 [NTT]
5980
5981 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
5982 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
5983 necessarily true if compression is enabled and can result in false
5984 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
5985 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
5986 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
5987 [Steve Henson]
5988
5989 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
5990
5991 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
5992 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
5993 [Steve Henson]
5994
5995 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
5996 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
5997
5998 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5999 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
6000 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
6001 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
6002 [Douglas Stebila]
6003
6004 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
6005 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
6006 [Steve Henson]
6007
6008 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
6009 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
6010 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
6011 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
6012 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
6013 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
6014 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
6015 can't be loaded.
6016 [Steve Henson]
6017
6018 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
6019 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
6020 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
6021 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
6022 [Steve Henson]
6023
6024 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
6025 under VC++ build system.
6026 [Steve Henson]
6027
6028 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
6029 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
6030 [Richard Levitte]
6031
6032 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
6033
6034 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
6035 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
6036 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
6037 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
6038 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
6039
6040 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
6041 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
6042 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
6043
6044 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
6045 [Steve Henson]
6046
6047 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
6048 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
6049 [Nils Larsch]
6050
6051 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
6052 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
6053
6054 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
6055 [Nick Mathewson]
6056
6057 *) Extended Windows CE support.
6058 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
6059
6060 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
6061 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
6062 [Steve Henson]
6063
6064 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
6065 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
6066 smime utility.
6067 [Steve Henson]
6068
6069 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
6070
6071 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
6072 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
6073
6074 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
6075 [Richard Levitte]
6076
6077 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
6078 key into the same file any more.
6079 [Richard Levitte]
6080
6081 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
6082 [Andy Polyakov]
6083
6084 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
6085 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
6086
6087 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
6088 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
6089 [Richard Levitte]
6090
6091 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
6092 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
6093 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
6094 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
6095 this only applies when building 'shared'.
6096 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
6097
6098 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
6099 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
6100 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
6101 [Steve Henson]
6102
6103 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
6104 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
6105 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
6106 - add new function for parameter creation
6107 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
6108 BN_BLINDING parameters
6109 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
6110 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
6111 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
6112 threads.
6113 [Nils Larsch]
6114
6115 *) Add support for DTLS.
6116 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
6117
6118 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
6119 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
6120 [Walter Goulet]
6121
6122 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
6123 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
6124 [Nils Larsch]
6125
6126 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
6127 the apps/openssl applications.
6128 [Nils Larsch]
6129
6130 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
6131 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
6132 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
6133 [Ben Laurie]
6134
6135 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
6136 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
6137
6138 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
6139 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
6140
6141 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
6142 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
6143 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
6144 avoid this algorithm.)
6145
6146 [Bodo Moeller]
6147
6148 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
6149 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
6150 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
6151 [Richard Levitte]
6152
6153 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
6154 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
6155 [Andy Polyakov]
6156
6157 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
6158 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
6159 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
6160 pod file:
6161
6162 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
6163
6164 The blank line is mandatory.
6165
6166 [Steve Henson]
6167
6168 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
6169 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
6170 sources.
6171 [Steve Henson]
6172
6173 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
6174 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
6175
6176 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
6177 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
6178 to support policy checking and print out.
6179 [Steve Henson]
6180
6181 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
6182 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
6183 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
6184 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
6185
6186 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
6187 [Geoff Thorpe]
6188
6189 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
6190 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
6191
6192 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
6193 implementation contributed by IBM.
6194 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
6195
6196 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
6197 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
6198 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
6199 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
6200
6201 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
6202 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
6203
6204 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
6205 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
6206 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
6207 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
6208 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
6209 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
6210 [Steve Henson]
6211
6212 *) Reduced header interdependencies by declaring more opaque objects in
6213 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
6214 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
6215 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
6216 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
6217 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
6218 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
6219 [Geoff Thorpe]
6220
6221 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
6222 [Steve Henson]
6223
6224 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
6225 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
6226 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
6227 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
6228 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
6229 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
6230 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
6231 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
6232 [Steve Henson]
6233
6234 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
6235 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
6236 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
6237 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
6238 [Steve Henson]
6239
6240 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
6241 syntax:
6242
6243 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
6244 [Steve Henson]
6245
6246 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
6247 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
6248 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
6249 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
6250 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
6251 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
6252 BN_CTX's "bundling".
6253 [Geoff Thorpe]
6254
6255 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
6256 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
6257 [Geoff Thorpe]
6258
6259 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
6260 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
6261 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
6262 [Steve Henson]
6263
6264 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
6265 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
6266 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
6267 below).
6268 [Geoff Thorpe]
6269
6270 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
6271 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
6272 [Richard Levitte]
6273
6274 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
6275 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
6276 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
6277 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
6278 [Geoff Thorpe]
6279
6280 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
6281 initialised value as BN_new().
6282 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
6283
6284 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
6285 [Steve Henson]
6286
6287 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
6288 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
6289 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
6290 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
6291 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
6292 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
6293 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
6294 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
6295 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
6296 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
6297 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
6298 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
6299 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
6300 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
6301 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
6302
6303 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
6304 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
6305 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
6306 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
6307 [Geoff Thorpe]
6308
6309 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
6310 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
6311 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
6312 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
6313 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
6314 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
6315 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
6316 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
6317 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
6318 [Geoff Thorpe]
6319
6320 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
6321 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
6322 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
6323 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
6324 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
6325 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
6326 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
6327 [Geoff Thorpe]
6328
6329 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
6330 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
6331 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
6332 these have been updated also.
6333 [Geoff Thorpe]
6334
6335 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
6336 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
6337 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
6338 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
6339 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
6340 functions.
6341 [Steve Henson]
6342
6343 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
6344 structure of type "other".
6345 [Steve Henson]
6346
6347 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
6348 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
6349 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
6350 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
6351 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
6352 situation in the script.
6353 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6354
6355 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
6356 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
6357 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
6358 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
6359 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
6360 used as premaster secret.
6361 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6362
6363 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
6364 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
6365 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6366
6367 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
6368 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
6369
6370 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
6371 control of the error stack.
6372 [Richard Levitte]
6373
6374 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
6375 [Richard Levitte]
6376
6377 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
6378 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
6379 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
6380 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
6381 [Richard Levitte]
6382
6383 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
6384 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
6385 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
6386 [Richard Levitte]
6387
6388 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
6389 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
6390 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
6391 a memory area.
6392 [Richard Levitte]
6393
6394 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
6395 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
6396 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
6397 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
6398 [Richard Levitte]
6399
6400 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
6401 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
6402 the following flags are defined:
6403
6404 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
6405 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
6406 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
6407 number.
6408
6409 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
6410 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
6411 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
6412 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
6413 returns zero.
6414 [Richard Levitte]
6415
6416 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
6417 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
6418 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
6419 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
6420 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
6421 [Richard Levitte]
6422
6423 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
6424 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
6425 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
6426 [Richard Levitte]
6427
6428 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6429 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6430 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6431 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6432 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6433 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6434 [Richard Levitte]
6435
6436 *) Generate multi-valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
6437 req and dirName.
6438 [Steve Henson]
6439
6440 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
6441 [Steve Henson]
6442
6443 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
6444 [Steve Henson]
6445
6446 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
6447 [Steve Henson]
6448
6449 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
6450 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
6451 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
6452 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
6453 default implementation more easily.
6454 [Geoff Thorpe]
6455
6456 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
6457 in config files.
6458 [Steve Henson]
6459
6460 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
6461 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
6462 [Richard Levitte]
6463
6464 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
6465 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
6466 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
6467 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
6468
6469 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
6470 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
6471 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
6472 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
6473 [Steve Henson]
6474
6475 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
6476 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
6477 to do it.
6478 [Richard Levitte]
6479
6480 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
6481 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
6482 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
6483 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
6484 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
6485 scalar * generator).
6486 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
6487
6488 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
6489 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
6490 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
6491 correctly.
6492 [Steve Henson]
6493
6494 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
6495 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
6496 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
6497 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
6498 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
6499 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
6500 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
6501 linker additions, eg;
6502 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
6503 [Geoff Thorpe]
6504
6505 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
6506 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
6507 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
6508 [Geoff Thorpe]
6509
6510 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6511 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6512 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
6513 via PR#459)
6514 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6515
6516 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
6517 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
6518 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
6519 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
6520 [Geoff Thorpe]
6521
6522 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
6523 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
6524 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
6525 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
6526 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
6527 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
6528 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
6529 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
6530 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
6531 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
6532
6533 Example for using the new callback interface:
6534
6535 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
6536 void *my_arg = ...;
6537 BN_GENCB my_cb;
6538
6539 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
6540
6541 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
6542 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
6543 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
6544 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
6545 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
6546 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
6547 */
6548
6549 [Geoff Thorpe]
6550
6551 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
6552 available to TLS with the number defined in
6553 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
6554 [Richard Levitte]
6555
6556 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
6557 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
6558
6559 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
6560 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
6561 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
6562 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
6563
6564 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
6565 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
6566
6567 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
6568 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
6569 well.
6570 [Richard Levitte]
6571
6572 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
6573 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
6574 [Richard Levitte]
6575
6576 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
6577 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
6578 and a macro that behave like
6579 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
6580
6581 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
6582 [Nils Larsch]
6583
6584 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
6585 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
6586 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
6587 if applicable.
6588 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6589
6590 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
6591 [Bodo Moeller]
6592
6593 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
6594 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
6595 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
6596 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
6597 directory engines/.
6598 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
6599 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
6600 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
6601 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
6602 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
6603 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
6604 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
6605 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
6606
6607 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
6608 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
6609 [Richard Levitte]
6610
6611 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
6612 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
6613
6614 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
6615 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
6616 files while avoiding the low level API.
6617
6618 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
6619 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
6620 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
6621 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
6622
6623 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
6624 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
6625 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
6626 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
6627 instead of the low level API.
6628 [Steve Henson]
6629
6630 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
6631 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
6632 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
6633 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
6634 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
6635 PKCS#7 code.
6636
6637 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
6638 down to the template encoder.
6639 [Steve Henson]
6640
6641 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
6642 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
6643 [Bodo Moeller]
6644
6645 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
6646 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
6647 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
6648 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6649
6650 *) Add ECDH engine support.
6651 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6652
6653 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
6654 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6655
6656 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
6657 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
6658 [Bodo Moeller]
6659
6660 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
6661 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
6662 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
6663 [Bodo Moeller]
6664
6665 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
6666 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
6667
6668 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6669 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6670
6671 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
6672 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
6673 New EC_METHOD:
6674
6675 EC_GF2m_simple_method
6676
6677 New API functions:
6678
6679 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
6680 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
6681 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
6682 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6683 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6684 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
6685
6686 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
6687 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
6688 enable it).
6689
6690 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
6691 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
6692 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
6693 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
6694 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
6695 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
6696 various internal method names.)
6697
6698 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
6699 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
6700
6701 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6702 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6703
6704 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
6705 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
6706
6707 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
6708 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
6709 methods are undefined.
6710
6711 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6712 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6713
6714 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
6715 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
6716 length of the modulus.
6717
6718 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6719 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6720
6721 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
6722 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
6723
6724 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6725 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6726
6727 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
6728 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
6729 used) in the following functions [macros]:
6730
6731 BN_GF2m_add
6732 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
6733 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
6734 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
6735 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
6736 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
6737 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
6738 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
6739 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
6740 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
6741
6742 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
6743 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
6744
6745 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
6746 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
6747 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
6748 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
6749 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
6750 where
6751 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
6752 This applies to the following functions:
6753
6754 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
6755 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
6756 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
6757 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
6758 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
6759 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
6760 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
6761 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
6762 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6763 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6764
6765 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
6766
6767 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6768 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6769
6770 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
6771
6772 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
6773 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
6774 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
6775 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
6776 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
6777
6778 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6779 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6780
6781 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
6782 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
6783 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
6784
6785 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
6786 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
6787
6788 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
6789 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
6790 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
6791 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
6792 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6793
6794 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
6795 functions
6796 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
6797 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
6798 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
6799 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
6800 These control ASN1 encoding details:
6801 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
6802 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
6803 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
6804 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
6805 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
6806 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
6807 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
6808
6809 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
6810 functions
6811 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
6812 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
6813 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
6814 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
6815 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6816
6817 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
6818 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
6819 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
6820 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6821
6822 *) Add functions
6823 EC_POINT_point2bn()
6824 EC_POINT_bn2point()
6825 EC_POINT_point2hex()
6826 EC_POINT_hex2point()
6827 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
6828 EC_POINT_oct2point().
6829 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6830
6831 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
6832 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
6833 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
6834 EC_GROUP_get_order()
6835 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
6836 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
6837 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
6838 adding different types of curves.
6839 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
6840
6841 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
6842 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
6843 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
6844 [Bodo Moeller]
6845
6846 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
6847 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
6848
6849 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
6850 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
6851 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
6852 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6853
6854 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
6855
6856 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
6857 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
6858
6859 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
6860 library. Most notably,
6861 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
6862 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
6863 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
6864 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
6865 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
6866 extracted before the specific public key;
6867 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
6868 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6869
6870 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
6871 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
6872 function
6873 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
6874 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
6875 EC_get_builtin_curves().
6876 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
6877 accessed via
6878 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
6879 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
6880 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
6881
6882 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6883 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6884 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6885 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6886 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6887 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6888 differing sizes.
6889 [Richard Levitte]
6890
6891 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
6892
6893 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
6894 sensitive data.
6895 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
6896
6897 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
6898 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
6899 authentication-only ciphersuites.
6900 [Bodo Moeller]
6901
6902 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
6903 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
6904 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
6905 [Victor Duchovni]
6906
6907 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
6908 [Steve Henson]
6909
6910 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
6911 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
6912 [Steve Henson]
6913
6914 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
6915 run algorithm test programs.
6916 [Steve Henson]
6917
6918 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
6919 [Steve Henson]
6920
6921 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
6922 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
6923 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
6924 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
6925 message has informed the client about his choice.)
6926 [Bodo Moeller]
6927
6928 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
6929 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
6930 [Steve Henson]
6931
6932 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
6933
6934 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
6935 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
6936 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6937
6938 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
6939 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
6940
6941 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
6942 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6943
6944 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
6945 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
6946 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6947
6948 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
6949 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
6950 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
6951 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
6952 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
6953 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
6954 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
6955 [Bodo Moeller]
6956
6957 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
6958
6959 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
6960 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
6961
6962 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
6963 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
6964 undesirable limitations.
6965 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6966
6967 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
6968
6969 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
6970 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
6971 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
6972
6973 The latter two were purportedly from
6974 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
6975 appear there.
6976
6977 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
6978 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
6979 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
6980 [Bodo Moeller]
6981
6982 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
6983 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
6984 [Bodo Moeller]
6985
6986 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
6987
6988 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
6989 module in FIPS mode.
6990 [Steve Henson]
6991
6992 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
6993 [Steve Henson]
6994
6995 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
6996 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
6997 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
6998 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
6999 [Steve Henson]
7000
7001 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
7002
7003 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
7004 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
7005 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
7006 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
7007 the difference induced by this change.
7008 [Andy Polyakov]
7009
7010 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
7011
7012 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
7013 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
7014 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
7015 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
7016 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
7017
7018 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
7019 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
7020 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
7021
7022 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
7023 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
7024 [Steve Henson]
7025
7026 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
7027 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
7028 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
7029 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
7030 biased k.)
7031 [Bodo Moeller]
7032
7033 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
7034 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
7035 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
7036 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
7037 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
7038
7039 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
7040 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
7041 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
7042 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
7043 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
7044 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
7045
7046 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
7047
7048 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
7049 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
7050 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
7051 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
7052 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
7053 [Bodo Moeller]
7054
7055 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
7056 clients need.
7057 [Steve Henson]
7058
7059 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
7060 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
7061 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
7062 [Steve Henson]
7063
7064 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
7065 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
7066 structures constant.
7067 [Steve Henson]
7068
7069 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
7070
7071 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
7072 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
7073
7074 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
7075 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
7076 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
7077 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
7078 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
7079 some needed definitions.
7080 [Steve Henson]
7081
7082 *) Undo Cygwin change.
7083 [Ulf Möller]
7084
7085 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
7086 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
7087 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
7088 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
7089 [Richard Levitte]
7090
7091 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
7092
7093 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
7094 server and client random values. Previously
7095 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
7096 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
7097
7098 This change has negligible security impact because:
7099
7100 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
7101 data.
7102
7103 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
7104 handshake.
7105
7106 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
7107 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
7108 values.
7109
7110 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
7111 to our attention.
7112
7113 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
7114
7115 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
7116 [Ulf Möller]
7117
7118 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
7119 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
7120 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
7121
7122 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
7123 [Steve Henson]
7124
7125 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
7126 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
7127 [Andy Polyakov]
7128
7129 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
7130 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
7131 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
7132
7133 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
7134 [Steve Henson]
7135
7136 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
7137 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
7138 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
7139 certificates.
7140 [Steve Henson]
7141
7142 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
7143 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
7144 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
7145 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
7146
7147 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
7148 has chosen to ignore this fault)
7149 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
7150 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
7151 been given)
7152 [Richard Levitte]
7153
7154 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
7155
7156 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
7157 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
7158 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
7159 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
7160 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
7161 [Steve Henson]
7162
7163 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
7164 [Steve Henson]
7165
7166 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
7167 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
7168
7169 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
7170 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
7171 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
7172 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
7173 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
7174 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
7175 rather than being initialized to 1.
7176 [Steve Henson]
7177
7178 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
7179
7180 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
7181 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
7182 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7183
7184 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
7185 (CVE-2004-0112)
7186 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7187
7188 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
7189 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
7190 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
7191 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
7192 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
7193 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
7194 [Richard Levitte]
7195
7196 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
7197 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
7198 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
7199 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
7200 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
7201 for these cases.
7202 [Steve Henson]
7203
7204 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
7205 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
7206 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
7207 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
7208 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
7209 [Steve Henson]
7210
7211 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
7212 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
7213 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
7214 < 0.9.7.
7215 [Steve Henson]
7216
7217 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
7218 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
7219
7220 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
7221 [Steve Henson]
7222
7223 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
7224
7225 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
7226
7227 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
7228 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
7229
7230 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
7231
7232 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
7233 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
7234
7235 [Steve Henson]
7236
7237 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
7238 exiting on the first error in a request.
7239 [Steve Henson]
7240
7241 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
7242 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
7243 specifications.
7244 [Steve Henson]
7245
7246 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
7247 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
7248 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
7249 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
7250
7251 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
7252 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
7253 [Richard Levitte]
7254
7255 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
7256 blocks during encryption.
7257 [Richard Levitte]
7258
7259 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
7260 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
7261 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
7262 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
7263 certain size.
7264 [Steve Henson]
7265
7266 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
7267 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
7268 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
7269 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
7270 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
7271 parser.
7272 [Steve Henson]
7273
7274 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
7275
7276 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
7277 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
7278 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
7279 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
7280 [Bodo Moeller]
7281
7282 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
7283 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
7284 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
7285 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
7286 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7287
7288 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
7289 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
7290 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
7291 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
7292 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
7293 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
7294 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
7295 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
7296 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
7297 [Bodo Moeller]
7298
7299 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
7300 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
7301 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
7302 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
7303 [Geoff Thorpe]
7304
7305 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
7306 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
7307 [Ulf Moeller]
7308
7309 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
7310
7311 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
7312 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
7313 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
7314 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
7315 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
7316
7317 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
7318 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
7319 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
7320
7321 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
7322 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
7323 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
7324 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
7325 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
7326
7327 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have its
7328 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
7329 used by default when no-err is given.
7330 [Richard Levitte]
7331
7332 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
7333 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
7334
7335 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
7336 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
7337 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
7338 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
7339 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
7340
7341 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
7342 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
7343 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
7344 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
7345
7346 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
7347
7348 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
7349
7350 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
7351
7352 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
7353 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
7354 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
7355 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
7356 root is omitted).
7357 [Steve Henson]
7358
7359 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
7360 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
7361
7362 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
7363 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
7364 [Steve Henson]
7365
7366 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
7367 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
7368 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
7369 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
7370 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7371
7372 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
7373 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
7374 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
7375 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
7376 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
7377 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
7378 followup to PR #377.
7379 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7380
7381 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
7382 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
7383 [Andy Polyakov]
7384
7385 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
7386 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
7387 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
7388 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
7389
7390 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
7391
7392 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
7393 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
7394
7395 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
7396 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
7397 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
7398 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
7399 client and server.
7400 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
7401 PR #377.
7402 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7403
7404 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
7405 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
7406 removed entirely.
7407 [Richard Levitte]
7408
7409 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
7410 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
7411 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
7412 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
7413 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
7414 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
7415 of libcrypto.
7416 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
7417 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
7418 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
7419 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
7420 have to be made anyway).
7421 [Richard Levitte]
7422
7423 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
7424 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
7425 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
7426 [Steve Henson]
7427
7428 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
7429 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
7430 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
7431 [Richard Levitte]
7432
7433 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
7434 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
7435 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
7436
7437 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
7438 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
7439 edit numbers of the version.
7440 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
7441
7442 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
7443 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
7444 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
7445
7446 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
7447 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7448
7449 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
7450 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
7451 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7452
7453 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
7454 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7455
7456 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
7457 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7458
7459 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
7460 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7461
7462 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
7463 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7464
7465 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
7466 overflows.
7467 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7468
7469 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
7470 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
7471 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7472
7473 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
7474 representations in a platform independent manner.
7475 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7476
7477 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
7478 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
7479 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7480
7481 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
7482 indents.
7483 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7484
7485 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
7486 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7487
7488 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
7489 full. Fixed.
7490 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7491
7492 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
7493 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
7494 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7495
7496 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
7497 unconditionally).
7498 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7499
7500 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
7501 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7502
7503 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
7504 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7505
7506 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
7507 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7508
7509 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
7510 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7511
7512 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
7513 CBCParameter.
7514 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7515
7516 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
7517 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7518
7519 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
7520 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7521
7522 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
7523 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
7524 exploitable.
7525 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7526
7527 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
7528 the 0.9.6 release series:
7529
7530 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
7531 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
7532 (CVE-2002-0657)
7533 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7534
7535 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
7536 [Richard Levitte]
7537
7538 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
7539 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
7540
7541 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
7542 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
7543
7544 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
7545 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
7546 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
7547 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
7548
7549 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
7550 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
7551 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
7552
7553 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
7554 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
7555 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
7556 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
7557
7558 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
7559 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
7560 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
7561 some local tweaks:
7562
7563 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
7564 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
7565 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
7566 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
7567 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
7568 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
7569 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
7570 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
7571 done
7572
7573 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
7574 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
7575 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
7576 [Richard Levitte]
7577
7578 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
7579 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
7580 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
7581 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
7582 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
7583
7584 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
7585 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
7586
7587 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
7588 error in AES-CFB decryption.
7589 [Richard Levitte]
7590
7591 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
7592 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
7593 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
7594 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
7595 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
7596 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
7597 [Steve Henson]
7598
7599 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
7600 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
7601 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
7602 [Steve Henson]
7603
7604 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
7605 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
7606 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7607
7608 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
7609 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
7610 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
7611 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
7612 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
7613 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
7614 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
7615 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7616
7617 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
7618 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
7619 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
7620 ENGINE is initialized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
7621 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
7622 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be initialized at all.
7623 [Steve Henson]
7624
7625 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
7626 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
7627 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
7628 declaration has been changed from
7629 int (*cb)()
7630 into
7631 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
7632 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
7633 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
7634 has been changed into
7635 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
7636
7637 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
7638 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
7639 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
7640
7641 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
7642 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
7643
7644 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
7645 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
7646 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
7647 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
7648 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
7649 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
7650 always load it have also been added.
7651 [Steve Henson]
7652
7653 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
7654 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
7655 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
7656
7657 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
7658
7659 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
7660 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
7661 because it couldn't be used for anything.
7662
7663 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
7664 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
7665 command line option can be used to specify an
7666 alternative file.
7667 [Steve Henson]
7668
7669 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
7670 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
7671 [Steve Henson]
7672
7673 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
7674 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
7675 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
7676 [Steve Henson]
7677
7678 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
7679 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
7680 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
7681 to work with the new engine framework.
7682 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
7683
7684 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
7685 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
7686 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
7687 to work with the new engine framework.
7688 [Richard Levitte]
7689
7690 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
7691 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
7692 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
7693
7694 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
7695 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
7696
7697 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
7698 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
7699 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
7700 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
7701 FORMAT_IISSGC.
7702 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7703
7704 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
7705 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7706
7707 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
7708 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
7709
7710 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
7711 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
7712 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
7713 [Ben Laurie]
7714
7715 *) Add new functions
7716 ERR_peek_last_error
7717 ERR_peek_last_error_line
7718 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
7719 These are similar to
7720 ERR_peek_error
7721 ERR_peek_error_line
7722 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
7723 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
7724 still in the error queue.
7725 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
7726
7727 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
7728 like:
7729 default_algorithms = ALL
7730 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
7731 [Steve Henson]
7732
7733 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
7734 [Steve Henson]
7735
7736 *) New experimental application configuration code.
7737 [Steve Henson]
7738
7739 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
7740 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
7741 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
7742 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
7743
7744 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
7745 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
7746
7747 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
7748 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7749
7750 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
7751 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
7752 [Bodo Moeller]
7753
7754 *) New functions/macros
7755
7756 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
7757 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
7758 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
7759 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
7760
7761 to request calling a callback function
7762
7763 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
7764 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
7765
7766 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
7767 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
7768 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
7769 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
7770 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
7771 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
7772 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
7773 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
7774 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
7775 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
7776
7777 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
7778 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
7779 [Bodo Moeller]
7780
7781 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
7782 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
7783 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
7784 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
7785 the configuration scripts.
7786
7787 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
7788 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
7789 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
7790
7791 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
7792 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
7793
7794 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
7795 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
7796 when reusing an existing buffer.
7797 [Bodo Moeller]
7798
7799 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
7800 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
7801 [Steve Henson]
7802
7803 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
7804 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
7805 [Ben Laurie]
7806
7807 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
7808 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
7809 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
7810 has the same effect.
7811 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7812
7813 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
7814 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
7815 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
7816 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
7817 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
7818 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
7819 exception.
7820
7821 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
7822 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
7823 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
7824 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
7825
7826 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
7827 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
7828 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
7829 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
7830
7831 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
7832 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
7833 won't work.
7834
7835 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
7836 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
7837 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
7838 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
7839 default), and then completely removed.
7840 [Richard Levitte]
7841
7842 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
7843 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
7844 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
7845 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
7846 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
7847 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
7848 particular extension is supported.
7849 [Steve Henson]
7850
7851 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
7852 to retain compatibility with existing code.
7853 [Steve Henson]
7854
7855 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
7856 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
7857 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
7858 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
7859 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
7860 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
7861 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
7862 requires the destination to be valid.
7863
7864 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
7865 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
7866 [Steve Henson]
7867
7868 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
7869 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
7870 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
7871 [Bodo Moeller]
7872
7873 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
7874 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
7875
7876 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
7877 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
7878 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
7879 of specific crypto interfaces. This change also introduces integrated
7880 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
7881 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
7882 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
7883 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
7884 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
7885 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
7886 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
7887 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
7888 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
7889 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
7890 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
7891 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
7892 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
7893 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
7894 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
7895 the new code.
7896 [Geoff Thorpe]
7897
7898 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
7899 [Steve Henson]
7900
7901 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
7902 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
7903 become part of libeay.num as well.
7904 [Richard Levitte]
7905
7906 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
7907 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
7908 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
7909 false once a handshake has been completed.
7910 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
7911 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
7912 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
7913 client has followed the request.)
7914 [Bodo Moeller]
7915
7916 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
7917 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
7918 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
7919 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
7920
7921 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
7922 more bits available for options that should not be part of
7923 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
7924 [Bodo Moeller]
7925
7926 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
7927 [Steve Henson]
7928
7929 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
7930 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
7931 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
7932 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7933
7934 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
7935 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
7936 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7937
7938 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
7939 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
7940 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
7941 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
7942 [Geoff Thorpe]
7943
7944 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
7945 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
7946 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
7947 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
7948 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
7949 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
7950 [Geoff Thorpe]
7951
7952 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
7953 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
7954 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
7955 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
7956 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
7957 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
7958 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
7959 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
7960 [Geoff Thorpe]
7961
7962 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
7963 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
7964 [Geoff Thorpe]
7965
7966 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
7967 [Ben Laurie]
7968
7969 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
7970 md_data void pointer.
7971 [Ben Laurie]
7972
7973 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
7974 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
7975 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
7976 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
7977 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
7978 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
7979 [Ben Laurie]
7980
7981 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
7982 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
7983 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
7984 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
7985 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
7986 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
7987 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
7988 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
7989 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
7990 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
7991 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
7992 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
7993 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
7994 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
7995 rather than letting it slide.
7996
7997 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
7998 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
7999 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
8000 [Geoff Thorpe]
8001
8002 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
8003 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
8004 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
8005 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
8006 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
8007 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
8008 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
8009 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
8010 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
8011 [Geoff Thorpe]
8012
8013 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
8014 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
8015 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
8016 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
8017 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
8018
8019 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
8020 [Geoff Thorpe]
8021
8022 *) Add EVP test program.
8023 [Ben Laurie]
8024
8025 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
8026 [Ben Laurie]
8027
8028 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
8029 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
8030 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
8031 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
8032 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
8033 [Steve Henson]
8034
8035 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
8036 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
8037 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
8038 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
8039 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
8040 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
8041 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
8042
8043 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
8044 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
8045 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
8046 Usage example:
8047
8048 EVP_MD_CTX md;
8049
8050 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
8051 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
8052 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
8053 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
8054 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
8055
8056 [Ben Laurie]
8057
8058 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
8059 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
8060 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
8061 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
8062 anyway): E.g.,
8063
8064 des_key_schedule ks;
8065
8066 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
8067 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
8068
8069 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
8070 [Ben Laurie]
8071
8072 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
8073 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
8074 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
8075 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
8076 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
8077 functions prevents this.
8078 [Steve Henson]
8079
8080 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
8081 [Ben Laurie]
8082
8083 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
8084 correct _ecb suffix.
8085 [Ben Laurie]
8086
8087 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
8088 revocation information is handled using the text based index
8089 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
8090 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
8091 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
8092 [Steve Henson]
8093
8094 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
8095 [Richard Levitte]
8096
8097 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
8098 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
8099 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
8100 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
8101
8102 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
8103 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
8104
8105 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
8106 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
8107 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
8108 via Richard Levitte]
8109
8110 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
8111 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
8112 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
8113 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
8114 [Geoff Thorpe]
8115
8116 *) Speed up EVP routines.
8117 Before:

8132 [Ben Laurie]
8133
8134 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
8135 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
8136
8137 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
8138 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
8139 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
8140 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
8141 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
8142 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
8143 [Steve Henson]
8144
8145 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
8146 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
8147 [Richard Levitte]
8148
8149 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
8150 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
8151 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
8152 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
8153
8154 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
8155 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
8156 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
8157 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
8158 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
8159 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
8160 callback.
8161 [Richard Levitte]
8162
8163 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
8164 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
8165 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
8166 and interrupts/cancellations.
8167 [Richard Levitte]
8168
8169 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
8170 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
8171 [Steve Henson]
8172
8173 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
8174 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
8175 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
8176
8177 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
8178 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
8179 kind of callback.
8180 [Richard Levitte]
8181
8182 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
8183 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
8184 than this minimum value is recommended.
8185 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8186
8187 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
8188 that are easily reachable.
8189 [Richard Levitte]
8190
8191 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
8192 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
8193
8194 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
8195
8196 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
8197 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
8198 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
8199 needed for static libraries under Win32.
8200 [Steve Henson]
8201
8202 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
8203 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
8204 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
8205 [Steve Henson]
8206
8207 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
8208 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
8209 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
8210 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
8211 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
8212 internally such as S/MIME.
8213
8214 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
8215 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
8216 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
8217
8218 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
8219 applications.
8220 [Steve Henson]
8221
8222 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
8223 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
8224 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
8225 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
8226
8227 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
8228
8229 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
8230
8231 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
8232 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
8233 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
8234 handling.
8235 [Steve Henson]
8236
8237 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
8238 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
8239 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
8240 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
8241 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
8242 a window system and the like.
8243 [Richard Levitte]
8244
8245 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
8246 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
8247 [Geoff]
8248
8249 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
8250 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
8251 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
8252 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
8253 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
8254 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
8255 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
8256 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
8257 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
8258 ENGINE structure.
8259 [Geoff]
8260
8261 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
8262 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
8263 tag cache.
8264 [Steve Henson]
8265
8266 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
8267 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
8268 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
8269 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
8270 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
8271 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
8272 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
8273 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
8274 [Geoff]
8275
8276 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
8277 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
8278 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
8279 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
8280 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
8281 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
8282 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
8283 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
8284 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
8285 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
8286 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
8287 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
8288 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
8289 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
8290 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
8291 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
8292 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
8293 [Geoff]
8294
8295 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
8296 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
8297 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
8298 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
8299 internal engine_int.h header.
8300 [Geoff]
8301
8302 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
8303 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
8304 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
8305 modify their own ones).
8306 [Geoff]
8307
8308 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
8309 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
8310 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
8311 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
8312 later on via ctrl() commands.
8313 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
8314 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
8315 structural references.
8316 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
8317 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
8318 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
8319 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
8320 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
8321 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
8322 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
8323 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
8324 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
8325 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
8326 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
8327 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
8328 [Geoff]
8329
8330 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
8331 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
8332 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
8333 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
8334 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
8335 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
8336 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
8337 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
8338 [Bodo Moeller]
8339
8340 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
8341 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
8342 [Steve Henson]
8343
8344 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
8345 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
8346 [Steve Henson]
8347
8348 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
8349 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
8350 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
8351 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
8352 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
8353 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
8354 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
8355 [Steve Henson]
8356
8357 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
8358 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
8359 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
8360 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
8361 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
8362
8363 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
8364 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
8365 generator).
8366 [Bodo Moeller]
8367
8368 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
8369
8370 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
8371 operations and provides various method functions that can also
8372 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
8373
8374 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
8375 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
8376
8377 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
8378 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
8379 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
8380
8381 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
8382 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
8383
8384 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
8385 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
8386
8387 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
8388
8389 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
8390 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
8391 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
8392 [Bodo Moeller]
8393
8394 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
8395 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
8396 [Richard Levitte]
8397
8398 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
8399 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
8400 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
8401 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
8402 is 40 of more characters long.
8403 [Steve Henson]
8404
8405 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
8406 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
8407 pointers.
8408 [Steve Henson]
8409
8410 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
8411 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
8412 [Bodo Moeller]
8413
8414 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
8415 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
8416 might.
8417 [Steve Henson]
8418
8419 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
8420
8421 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
8422 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
8423
8424 ASN1 error codes
8425 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
8426 ...
8427 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
8428 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
8429 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
8430 ...
8431 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
8432 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
8433
8434 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
8435 [Bodo Moeller]
8436
8437 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
8438 suffices.
8439 [Bodo Moeller]
8440
8441 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
8442 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
8443 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
8444 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
8445 and
8446 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
8447
8448 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
8449 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
8450
8451 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
8452 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
8453 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
8454 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
8455 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
8456 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
8457
8458 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
8459 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
8460
8461 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
8462 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
8463
8464 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
8465 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
8466
8467 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
8468 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
8469 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
8470 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
8471
8472 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
8473 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
8474
8475 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
8476 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
8477
8478 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
8479 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
8480 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
8481 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
8482 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
8483 [Richard Levitte]
8484
8485 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
8486 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
8487 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
8488 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
8489 [Steve Henson]
8490
8491 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
8492 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
8493 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
8494 trust settings.
8495 [Steve Henson]
8496
8497 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
8498 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
8499 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
8500 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
8501 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
8502 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
8503 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
8504 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
8505 ocsp utility.
8506 [Steve Henson]
8507
8508 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
8509 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
8510 [Steve Henson]
8511
8512 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
8513 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
8514 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
8515 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
8516 [Steve Henson]
8517
8518 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
8519 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
8520 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
8521 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
8522 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
8523 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
8524 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
8525 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
8526 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
8527 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
8528 [Steve Henson]
8529
8530 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
8531 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
8532 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
8533 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
8534 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
8535 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
8536 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
8537 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8538
8539 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
8540 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
8541 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
8542 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
8543 [Richard Levitte]
8544
8545 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
8546 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
8547 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
8548 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
8549 opensslconf.h.
8550 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
8551 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
8552 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
8553 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
8554 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
8555 what is available.
8556 [Richard Levitte]
8557
8558 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
8559 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
8560 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
8561 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
8562 auto incremented.
8563 [Steve Henson]
8564
8565 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
8566 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
8567 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
8568 [Steve Henson]
8569
8570 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
8571 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
8572 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
8573 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
8574 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
8575 [Steve Henson]
8576
8577 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
8578 [Steve Henson]
8579
8580 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
8581 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
8582 option to ocsp utility.
8583 [Steve Henson]
8584
8585 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
8586 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
8587 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
8588 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
8589 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
8590 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
8591 the request is nonce-less.
8592 [Steve Henson]
8593
8594 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
8595 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
8596 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
8597 [Bodo Moeller]
8598
8599 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
8600 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
8601 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
8602 [Steve Henson]
8603
8604 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
8605 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
8606 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
8607 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
8608 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
8609 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8610
8611 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
8612 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
8613 appear to exist.
8614 [Steve Henson]
8615
8616 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
8617 additional certificates supplied.
8618 [Steve Henson]
8619
8620 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
8621 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
8622 signature against.
8623 [Richard Levitte]
8624
8625 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
8626 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
8627 AES OIDs.
8628
8629 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
8630 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
8631 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
8632 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
8633 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
8634 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
8635 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
8636 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
8637 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
8638
8639 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
8640 request to response.
8641 [Steve Henson]
8642
8643 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
8644 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
8645 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
8646 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
8647 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
8648 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
8649 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
8650 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
8651 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
8652 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
8653 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
8654 [Steve Henson]
8655
8656 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
8657 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
8658 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
8659 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
8660 [Steve Henson]
8661
8662 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
8663 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8664
8665 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
8666 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
8667 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
8668 [Steve Henson]
8669
8670 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
8671 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
8672 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
8673 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8674 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8675
8676 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
8677 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
8678 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
8679 [Steve Henson]
8680
8681 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
8682 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
8683 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
8684 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
8685 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
8686 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
8687 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8688 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8689
8690 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
8691 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
8692 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
8693 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
8694 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
8695 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
8696 [Steve Henson]
8697
8698 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
8699 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
8700 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
8701 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
8702 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
8703 printout format cleaned up.
8704 [Steve Henson]
8705
8706 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
8707 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
8708 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
8709 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
8710 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
8711 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
8712 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
8713 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
8714 [Steve Henson]
8715
8716 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
8717 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
8718 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
8719 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
8720 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
8721 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
8722 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
8723 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
8724 [Steve Henson]
8725
8726 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
8727 extensions from a separate configuration file.
8728 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
8729 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
8730 section to use.
8731 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8732
8733 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
8734 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
8735 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
8736 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
8737 [Steve Henson]
8738
8739 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
8740 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
8741 the given serial number (according to the index file).
8742 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
8743 in the index file.
8744 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8745
8746 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
8747 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
8748 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
8749 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8750
8751 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
8752 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
8753
8754 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
8755 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
8756 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
8757 [Steve Henson]
8758
8759 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
8760 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
8761 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
8762 [Bodo Moeller]
8763
8764 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
8765 file name and line number information in additional arguments
8766 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
8767 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
8768 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
8769 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
8770 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
8771 functions are provided:
8772
8773 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
8774 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
8775 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
8776 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
8777
8778 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
8779 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
8780 extended allocation function is enabled.
8781 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
8782 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
8783 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
8784
8785 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
8786 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
8787 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
8788 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
8789 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
8790 [Geoff Thorpe]
8791
8792 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
8793 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
8794 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
8795 be queried.
8796 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
8797 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
8798 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
8799 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8800
8801 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
8802 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
8803 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
8804 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
8805 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
8806 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
8807 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
8808 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
8809 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
8810 [Richard Levitte]
8811
8812 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
8813 provide utility functions which an application needing
8814 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
8815 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
8816 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
8817
8818 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
8819 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
8820 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
8821 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
8822 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
8823 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
8824 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
8825 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
8826 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
8827
8828 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
8829 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
8830 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
8831 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
8832 [Steve Henson]
8833
8834 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
8835 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
8836 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
8837 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
8838 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
8839 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
8840 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
8841 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
8842 will be added elsewhere.
8843 [Steve Henson]
8844
8845 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
8846 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
8847 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
8848 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
8849 [Steve Henson]
8850
8851 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
8852 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
8853 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
8854 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
8855 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
8856 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
8857 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
8858 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
8859 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
8860 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
8861 to produce the required SET OF.
8862 [Steve Henson]
8863
8864 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
8865 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
8866 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
8867 [Richard Levitte]
8868
8869 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
8870 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
8871 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
8872 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
8873 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
8874 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
8875 [Steve Henson]
8876
8877 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
8878 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
8879 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
8880 [Steve Henson]
8881
8882 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
8883 lines, recognize more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
8884 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
8885 [Richard Levitte]
8886
8887 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
8888 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
8889 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
8890 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
8891 code will still work when these eventually go away.
8892 [Steve Henson]
8893
8894 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
8895 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
8896 [Steve Henson]
8897
8898 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
8899 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
8900 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
8901 certificates and CRLs.
8902 [Steve Henson]
8903
8904 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
8905 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
8906 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
8907 [Steve Henson]
8908
8909 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
8910 entries for variables.
8911 [Steve Henson]
8912
8913 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
8914 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
8915 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
8916 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
8917 [Bodo Moeller]
8918
8919 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
8920 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
8921 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
8922 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
8923 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
8924 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
8925 [Bodo Moeller]
8926
8927 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
8928 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
8929
8930 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
8931 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
8932 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
8933 [Steve Henson]
8934
8935 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
8936 print routines.
8937 [Steve Henson]
8938
8939 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
8940 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
8941 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
8942 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
8943 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
8944 order did not reflect the encoded order.
8945 [Steve Henson]
8946
8947 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
8948 [Steve Henson]
8949
8950 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
8951 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
8952 for now but they will eventually go away.
8953 [Steve Henson]
8954
8955 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
8956 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
8957 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
8958 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
8959 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
8960 has also been converted to the new form.
8961 [Steve Henson]
8962
8963 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
8964 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
8965 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
8966 for negative moduli.
8967 [Bodo Moeller]
8968
8969 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
8970 of not touching the result's sign bit.
8971 [Bodo Moeller]
8972
8973 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
8974 set.
8975 [Bodo Moeller]
8976
8977 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
8978 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
8979 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
8980 type-specific callbacks.
8981 [Geoff Thorpe]
8982
8983 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
8984 RFC 2712.
8985 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
8986 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
8987
8988 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
8989 in sections depending on the subject.
8990 [Richard Levitte]
8991
8992 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
8993 Windows.
8994 [Richard Levitte]
8995
8996 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
8997 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
8998 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
8999 be handled deterministically).
9000 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
9001
9002 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
9003 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
9004 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
9005 [Bodo Moeller]
9006
9007 *) New function BN_kronecker.
9008 [Bodo Moeller]
9009
9010 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
9011 positive unless both parameters are zero.
9012 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
9013 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
9014 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
9015 [Bodo Moeller]
9016
9017 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
9018 sign of the number in question.
9019
9020 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
9021
9022 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
9023 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
9024 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
9025 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
9026 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
9027 [Bodo Moeller]
9028
9029 *) New function BN_swap.
9030 [Bodo Moeller]
9031
9032 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
9033 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
9034 results on negative inputs.
9035 [Bodo Moeller]
9036
9037 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
9038 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
9039 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
9040 [Bodo Moeller]
9041
9042 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
9043 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
9044 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
9045 and add new functions:
9046
9047 BN_nnmod
9048 BN_mod_sqr
9049 BN_mod_add
9050 BN_mod_add_quick
9051 BN_mod_sub
9052 BN_mod_sub_quick
9053 BN_mod_lshift1
9054 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
9055 BN_mod_lshift
9056 BN_mod_lshift_quick
9057
9058 These functions always generate non-negative results.
9059
9060 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
9061 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
9062
9063 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
9064 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
9065 be reduced modulo m.
9066 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
9067
9068 #if 0
9069 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
9070 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
9071 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
9072
9073 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
9074 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
9075 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
9076 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
9077 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
9078 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
9079 differing sizes.
9080 [Richard Levitte]
9081 #endif
9082
9083 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
9084 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
9085 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
9086 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
9087 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
9088
9089 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
9090 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
9091 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
9092 cause any problems.
9093 [Bodo Moeller]
9094
9095 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
9096 [Richard Levitte]
9097
9098 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
9099 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
9100 [Richard Levitte]
9101
9102 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
9103 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
9104 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
9105 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
9106 time)
9107 [Richard Levitte]
9108
9109 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
9110 [Richard Levitte]
9111
9112 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
9113 [Richard Levitte]
9114
9115 *) Add the following functions:
9116
9117 ENGINE_load_cswift()
9118 ENGINE_load_chil()
9119 ENGINE_load_atalla()
9120 ENGINE_load_nuron()
9121 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
9122
9123 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
9124 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
9125 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
9126 libraries unless it's really needed.
9127
9128 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
9129 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
9130 declarations (they differed!).
9131 [Richard Levitte]
9132
9133 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
9134 [Richard Levitte]
9135
9136 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
9137 [Richard Levitte]
9138
9139 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
9140 [Bodo Moeller]
9141
9142 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
9143 identity, and test if they are actually available.
9144 [Richard Levitte]
9145
9146 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
9147 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
9148 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
9149
9150 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
9151 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
9152 [Richard Levitte]
9153
9154 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
9155 [Richard Levitte]
9156
9157 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
9158 [Richard Levitte]
9159
9160 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
9161 [Ben Laurie]
9162
9163 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
9164 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
9165 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
9166
9167 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
9168 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
9169 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
9170 different shared library filenames on each system.
9171 [Geoff Thorpe]
9172
9173 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
9174 [Richard Levitte]
9175
9176 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
9177 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
9178 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
9179 of two sections.
9180 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
9181
9182 *) NCONF changes.
9183 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
9184 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
9185 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
9186 binary backward compatibility.
9187 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
9188 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
9189 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
9190 LDAP server.
9191 [Richard Levitte]
9192
9193 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
9194 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
9195 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
9196 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
9197 this case.
9198 [Steve Henson]
9199
9200 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
9201 [Ben Laurie]
9202
9203 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
9204 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
9205 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
9206 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
9207 set.
9208 [Steve Henson]
9209
9210 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
9211 [Richard Levitte]
9212
9213 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
9214
9215 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
9216 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
9217 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
9218
9219 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
9220
9221 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
9222
9223 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
9224 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
9225 [Steve Henson]
9226
9227 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
9228
9229 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
9230
9231 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
9232 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
9233
9234 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
9235 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
9236
9237 [Steve Henson]
9238
9239 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
9240 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
9241 specifications.
9242 [Steve Henson]
9243
9244 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
9245 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
9246 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
9247 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
9248
9249 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
9250 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
9251 [Richard Levitte]
9252
9253 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
9254
9255 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
9256 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
9257 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
9258 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
9259 [Bodo Moeller]
9260
9261 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
9262 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
9263 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
9264 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
9265 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
9266
9267 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
9268 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
9269 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
9270 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
9271 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
9272 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
9273 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
9274 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
9275 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
9276 [Bodo Moeller]
9277
9278 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
9279
9280 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
9281 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
9282 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
9283 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
9284 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
9285
9286 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
9287 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
9288 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
9289
9290 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
9291
9292 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
9293 memory from its contents. This is done with a counter that will
9294 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
9295 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
9296 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
9297 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
9298 [Geoff Thorpe]
9299
9300 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
9301 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
9302 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
9303 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
9304 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
9305 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9306
9307 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
9308 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
9309 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
9310
9311 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
9312 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
9313 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
9314 EVP_cleanup().
9315 [Richard Levitte]
9316
9317 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
9318 being properly terminated.
9319 [Richard Levitte]
9320
9321 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
9322 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
9323 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
9324 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
9325
9326 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
9327 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
9328 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
9329 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
9330 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
9331 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
9332 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
9333 change.
9334 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
9335
9336 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
9337 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
9338 [Bodo Moeller]
9339
9340 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
9341 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
9342 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
9343 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
9344 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
9345 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
9346 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
9347 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
9348
9349 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
9350 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
9351 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
9352 (see [openssl.org #212]).
9353 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
9354
9355 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
9356 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
9357 [Steve Henson]
9358
9359 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
9360
9361 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
9362 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
9363 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
9364
9365 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
9366
9367 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
9368 and get fix the header length calculation.
9369 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
9370 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
9371 Steve Henson]
9372
9373 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
9374 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
9375 assertions could call abort()).
9376 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
9377
9378 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
9379
9380 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
9381 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
9382 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
9383 supplied buffer.
9384 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
9385
9386 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
9387 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
9388 by the selection routines (PR #130).
9389 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9390
9391 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
9392 [Nils Larsch]
9393
9394 *) New option
9395 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
9396 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
9397 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
9398
9399 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
9400 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
9401 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
9402 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
9403 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
9404 applications.
9405 [Bodo Moeller]
9406
9407 *) Changes in security patch:
9408
9409 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
9410 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
9411 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
9412 F30602-01-2-0537.
9413
9414 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
9415 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
9416 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
9417 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
9418 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
9419
9420 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
9421 happen in practice.
9422 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9423
9424 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
9425 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
9426 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
9427
9428 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
9429 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
9430 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9431
9432 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
9433 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
9434 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9435
9436 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
9437
9438 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
9439 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
9440 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
9441
9442 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
9443 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
9444
9445 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
9446 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
9447 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
9448 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
9449 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
9450 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
9451 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9452
9453 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
9454 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
9455 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
9456 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
9457 [Bodo Moeller]
9458
9459 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
9460 [Bodo Moeller]
9461
9462 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
9463 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
9464 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
9465 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
9466 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
9467 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9468
9469 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
9470 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
9471 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
9472 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
9473 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
9474 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9475
9476 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
9477 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
9478 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
9479 BN_generate_prime().)
9480
9481 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
9482 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
9483 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
9484 better.
9485 [Bodo Moeller]
9486
9487 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
9488 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
9489 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9490
9491 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
9492 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
9493 when using non-blocking I/O.
9494 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
9495
9496 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
9497 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
9498
9499 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
9500 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
9501 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9502
9503 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
9504 configuration for the versions before that.
9505 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
9506
9507 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
9508 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
9509 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
9510 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
9511 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9512
9513 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
9514 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
9515 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
9516 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9517
9518 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
9519 value is 0.
9520 [Richard Levitte]
9521
9522 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
9523 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
9524 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
9525
9526 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
9527 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
9528
9529 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
9530 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
9531 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
9532 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
9533 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
9534 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
9535 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
9536 session cache.
9537
9538 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
9539 using a local variable.
9540 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
9541
9542 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
9543 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
9544 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
9545
9546 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
9547 [Richard Levitte]
9548
9549 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
9550 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
9551
9552 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
9553 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
9554 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
9555
9556 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
9557
9558 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
9559 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
9560 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
9561 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
9562 [Bodo Moeller]
9563
9564 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
9565 present.
9566 [Steve Henson]
9567
9568 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
9569 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
9570 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
9571 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
9572 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
9573
9574 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
9575 returns early because it has nothing to do.
9576 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9577
9578 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9579 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
9580 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9581
9582 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9583 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
9584 (Use engine 'keyclient')
9585 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
9586
9587 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
9588 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
9589 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
9590 modules).
9591 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
9592
9593 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9594 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
9595 from 0.9.7.
9596 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
9597
9598 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9599 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
9600 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
9601 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
9602
9603 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9604 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
9605 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
9606 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
9607
9608 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
9609 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
9610
9611 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
9612 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
9613 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
9614 [Bodo Moeller]
9615
9616 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
9617 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
9618 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
9619 become invalid.
9620 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
9621
9622 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
9623 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
9624 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
9625 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
9626 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
9627 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
9628 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
9629 [Bodo Moeller]
9630
9631 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
9632 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
9633 one of the SSL handshake functions.
9634 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
9635
9636 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
9637 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
9638 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
9639 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
9640 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
9641 the client will at least see that alert.
9642 [Bodo Moeller]
9643
9644 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
9645 correctly.
9646 [Bodo Moeller]
9647
9648 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
9649 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
9650 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9651
9652 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
9653 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
9654 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
9655 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
9656 HelloRequest.
9657
9658 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
9659 before just sending a HelloRequest.
9660 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
9661
9662 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
9663 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
9664 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
9665 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
9666 may leak via logfiles.)
9667
9668 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
9669 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
9670 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
9671 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
9672 the legal range.
9673 [Bodo Moeller]
9674
9675 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
9676 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
9677 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9678
9679 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
9680 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
9681 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
9682 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
9683 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
9684 [Bodo Moeller]
9685
9686 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
9687 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
9688
9689 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
9690 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
9691 followed by modular reduction.
9692 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
9693
9694 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
9695 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
9696 [Bodo Moeller]
9697
9698 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
9699 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
9700 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
9701 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
9702 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9703
9704 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
9705 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9706
9707 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
9708 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
9709 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9710
9711 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
9712 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
9713 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
9714 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
9715 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
9716 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
9717 automatically.
9718 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
9719
9720 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
9721 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
9722 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
9723 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
9724 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
9725
9726 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
9727 [Andy Polyakov]
9728
9729 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
9730 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
9731 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
9732 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
9733 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
9734 to allow the necessary settings.
9735 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9736
9737 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
9738 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
9739 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
9740 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
9741 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9742
9743 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
9744 dh->length and always used
9745
9746 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
9747
9748 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
9749 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
9750 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
9751 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
9752 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
9753 dh->length.
9754
9755 So switch back to
9756
9757 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
9758
9759 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
9760 otherwise.
9761 [Bodo Moeller]
9762
9763 *) In
9764
9765 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
9766 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
9767 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
9768 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
9769
9770 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
9771 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
9772 always reject numbers >= n.
9773 [Bodo Moeller]
9774
9775 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
9776 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
9777 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
9778 variable) is not atomic.
9779 [Bodo Moeller]
9780
9781 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
9782 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
9783 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
9784 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
9785
9786 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
9787 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
9788
9789 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
9790 little-endian MIPS.
9791 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
9792
9793 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
9794 [Richard Levitte]
9795
9796 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
9797
9798 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
9799 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
9800 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
9801 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
9802 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
9803 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
9804 to traverse all of 'state'.
9805
9806 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
9807 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
9808 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
9809
9810 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
9811 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
9812
9813 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
9814 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
9815 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
9816 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
9817 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
9818 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
9819 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
9820 further strengthens the PRNG.
9821 [Bodo Moeller]
9822
9823 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
9824 [Andy Polyakov]
9825
9826 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
9827 an error message in this case.
9828 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9829
9830 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
9831 [Steve Henson]
9832
9833 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
9834 positive and less than q.
9835 [Bodo Moeller]
9836
9837 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
9838 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
9839 that itself.
9840 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
9841
9842 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
9843 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
9844 [Bodo Moeller]
9845
9846 *) Fix OAEP check.
9847 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9848
9849 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
9850 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
9851 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
9852 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
9853 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
9854 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
9855 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
9856 paper.)
9857
9858 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
9859 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
9860 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
9861 detect the supposedly ignored error.
9862
9863 Both problems are now fixed.
9864 [Bodo Moeller]
9865
9866 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
9867 (previously it was 1024).
9868 [Bodo Moeller]
9869
9870 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
9871 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
9872 [Steve Henson]
9873
9874 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
9875 [Steve Henson]
9876
9877 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
9878 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
9879 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
9880 [Steve Henson]
9881
9882 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
9883 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
9884 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
9885 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
9886 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
9887 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
9888 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
9889 environment variables.
9890
9891 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
9892 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
9893 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
9894 [Bodo Moeller]
9895
9896 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
9897 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
9898 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
9899 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
9900 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
9901 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
9902 [Bodo Moeller]
9903
9904 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
9905 versions of 'test'.
9906 [Bodo Moeller]
9907
9908 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
9909
9910 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
9911 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
9912
9913 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
9914 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
9915 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
9916 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
9917 CygWin.
9918 [Richard Levitte]
9919
9920 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
9921 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
9922 amount of data available.
9923 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
9924 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9925
9926 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
9927 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
9928 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
9929 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
9930 [Bodo Moeller]
9931
9932 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
9933 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
9934 and UnixWare.
9935 [Richard Levitte]
9936
9937 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
9938 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
9939 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
9940 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
9941 [Ulf Moeller]
9942
9943 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
9944 [Andy Polyakov]
9945
9946 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
9947 [Richard Levitte]
9948
9949 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
9950 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
9951 [Steve Henson]
9952 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9953
9954 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
9955 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
9956 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
9957 (but broken) behaviour.
9958 [Steve Henson]
9959
9960 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
9961 it when found.
9962 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
9963
9964 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
9965 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
9966 [Bodo Moeller]
9967
9968 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
9969 did not exist.
9970 [Bodo Moeller]
9971
9972 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
9973 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
9974
9975 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
9976 [Richard Levitte]
9977
9978 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
9979 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
9980 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
9981
9982 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
9983 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
9984 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
9985 [Steve Henson]
9986
9987 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
9988 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
9989 [Ulf Moeller]
9990
9991 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
9992 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
9993
9994 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
9995
9996 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
9997
9998 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
9999 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
10000 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
10001 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
10002 [Bodo Moeller]
10003
10004 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
10005 [Lutz Jaenicke]
10006
10007 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
10008 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
10009 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
10010
10011 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
10012 was empty.
10013 [Steve Henson]
10014 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
10015
10016 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
10017 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
10018 but the code is actually correct.
10019 [Steve Henson]
10020
10021 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
10022 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
10023 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
10024 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
10025 and leaves the highest bit random.
10026 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
10027
10028 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
10029 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
10030 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
10031 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
10032 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
10033 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
10034 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
10035 [Bodo Moeller]
10036
10037 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
10038 [Ulf Moeller]
10039
10040 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
10041 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
10042 [Steve Henson]
10043
10044 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
10045 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
10046 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
10047 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
10048 headers.
10049 [Richard Levitte]
10050
10051 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
10052 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
10053 and break the signature.
10054 [Steve Henson]
10055 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
10056
10057 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
10058 DH ciphersuites.
10059 [Steve Henson]
10060
10061 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
10062 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
10063 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
10064 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
10065 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
10066 [Bodo Moeller]
10067
10068 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
10069 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
10070
10071 *) ./config script fixes.
10072 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
10073
10074 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
10075 [Bodo Moeller]
10076
10077 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
10078 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
10079 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
10080 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
10081 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
10082
10083 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
10084 call failed, free the DSA structure.
10085 [Bodo Moeller]
10086
10087 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
10088 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
10089 [Steve Henson]
10090
10091 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
10092 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
10093 when writing a 32767 byte record.
10094 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
10095
10096 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
10097 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
10098
10099 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
10100 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
10101 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
10102 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
10103 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
10104
10105 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
10106 [Bodo Moeller]
10107
10108 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
10109 [Ulf Möller]
10110
10111 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
10112 [Ulf Möller]
10113
10114 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
10115 [Bodo Moeller]
10116
10117 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
10118 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
10119 [Bodo Moeller]
10120
10121 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
10122 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
10123 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
10124 result of the server certificate verification.)
10125 [Lutz Jaenicke]
10126
10127 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
10128 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
10129 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
10130 [Bodo Moeller]
10131
10132 *) Fix SSL_peek:
10133 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
10134 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
10135 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
10136 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
10137 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
10138 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
10139 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
10140 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
10141 [Bodo Moeller]
10142
10143 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
10144 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
10145 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
10146 happening the other way round.
10147 [Geoff Thorpe]
10148
10149 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
10150 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
10151 [Bodo Moeller]
10152
10153 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
10154 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
10155 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
10156 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
10157 [Richard Levitte]
10158
10159 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
10160 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
10161
10162 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
10163
10164 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
10165 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
10166 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
10167 that.
10168
10169 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
10170
10171 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
10172
10173 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
10174 static ones.
10175 [Richard Levitte]
10176
10177 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
10178
10179 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
10180 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
10181 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
10182 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
10183 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
10184
10185 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
10186 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
10187 matter what.
10188 [Richard Levitte]
10189
10190 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
10191 [Lutz Jaenicke]
10192
10193 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
10194
10195 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
10196 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
10197 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
10198 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
10199 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
10200 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
10201 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
10202 by the Finished messages.
10203 [Bodo Moeller]
10204
10205 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
10206 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
10207
10208 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
10209 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
10210 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
10211 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
10212 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
10213 appropriately.
10214 [Steve Henson]
10215
10216 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
10217 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
10218 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
10219 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
10220 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
10221 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
10222 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
10223 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
10224 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
10225 together.
10226 [Steve Henson]
10227
10228 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
10229 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
10230 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
10231 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
10232
10233 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
10234 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
10235 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
10236 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
10237 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
10238 the answer.
10239
10240 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
10241 been tested well enough.
10242 [Richard Levitte]
10243
10244 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
10245 it can return incorrect results.
10246 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
10247 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
10248 [Bodo Moeller]
10249
10250 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
10251 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
10252 include zero length content when signing messages.
10253 [Steve Henson]
10254
10255 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
10256 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
10257 [Bodo Möller]
10258
10259 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
10260 [Richard Levitte]
10261
10262 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
10263 wrong sign.
10264 [Ulf Möller]
10265
10266 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
10267 packages. The default package contains applications, application
10268 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
10269 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
10270 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
10271 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
10272 [Richard Levitte]
10273
10274 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
10275 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10276
10277 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
10278 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
10279
10280 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
10281 random number < q in the DSA library.
10282 [Ulf Möller]
10283
10284 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
10285 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
10286 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
10287 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
10288 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
10289 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
10290 just makes things more complicated.)
10291 [Bodo Moeller]
10292
10293 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
10294 from EGD.
10295 [Ben Laurie]
10296
10297 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
10298 work better on such systems.
10299 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10300
10301 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
10302 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
10303 keyid to the certificates aux info.
10304 [Steve Henson]
10305
10306 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
10307 if there was more than one signature.
10308 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
10309
10310 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
10311 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
10312 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
10313 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
10314 [Richard Levitte]
10315
10316 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
10317 rather than always using the current time.
10318 [Steve Henson]
10319
10320 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
10321 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
10322 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
10323 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
10324 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
10325 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
10326
10327 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
10328 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
10329
10330 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
10331
10332 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
10333 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
10334 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
10335 the same hash value.
10336
10337 As a result various functions (which were all internal
10338 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
10339 structure. This will break anything that messed round
10340 with X509_STORE internally.
10341
10342 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
10343 exact match, rather than just subject name.
10344
10345 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
10346 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
10347 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
10348 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
10349 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
10350 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
10351 entirely (maybe later...).
10352
10353 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
10354
10355 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
10356 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
10357 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
10358 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
10359 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
10360 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
10361 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
10362 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
10363
10364 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
10365 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
10366
10367 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
10368 to customise the verify behaviour.
10369 [Steve Henson]
10370
10371 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
10372 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
10373 [Steve Henson]
10374
10375 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
10376 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
10377 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
10378 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
10379 request is improperly encoded.
10380 [Steve Henson]
10381
10382 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
10383 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
10384 BIO_write(b, ...).
10385
10386 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
10387 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
10388
10389 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
10390 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
10391 words set to zero.)
10392 [Bodo Moeller]
10393
10394 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
10395 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
10396 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
10397 [Bodo Moeller]
10398
10399 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
10400 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
10401 BIO/fp routines also added.
10402 [Steve Henson]
10403
10404 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
10405 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
10406
10407 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
10408 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
10409 demos/state_machine.
10410 [Ben Laurie]
10411
10412 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
10413 generation and verification.
10414 [Steve Henson]
10415
10416 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
10417 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
10418 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
10419 encode and decode it manually.
10420 [Steve Henson]
10421
10422 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
10423 compile under VC++.
10424 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
10425
10426 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
10427 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
10428 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
10429 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
10430
10431 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
10432 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
10433 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
10434 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
10435 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
10436 [Steve Henson]
10437
10438 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
10439 [Richard Levitte]
10440
10441 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the strings written
10442 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
10443 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
10444
10445 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
10446 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
10447 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
10448 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
10449 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
10450 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
10451 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
10452 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
10453
10454 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
10455 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
10456
10457 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
10458
10459 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
10460 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
10461 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
10462
10463 [Richard Levitte]
10464
10465 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
10466 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
10467 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
10468 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
10469 [Richard Levitte]
10470
10471 *) MD4 implemented.
10472 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
10473
10474 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
10475 [Richard Levitte]
10476
10477 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
10478 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
10479 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
10480 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
10481 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
10482 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
10483 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
10484 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
10485 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
10486 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
10487 short or long names are found.
10488 [Steve Henson]
10489
10490 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
10491 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
10492
10493 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
10494 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
10495 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
10496 version rollback attacks was not effective.
10497
10498 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
10499 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
10500 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
10501 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
10502 [Bodo Moeller]
10503
10504 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
10505 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
10506 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
10507 [Richard Levitte]
10508
10509 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
10510 these print out strings and name structures based on various
10511 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
10512 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
10513 to allow the various flags to be set.
10514 [Steve Henson]
10515
10516 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
10517 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
10518 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
10519 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
10520 dates to be checked.
10521 [Steve Henson]
10522
10523 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
10524 negative public key encodings) on by default,
10525 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
10526 [Steve Henson]
10527
10528 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
10529 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
10530 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
10531 [Steve Henson]
10532
10533 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
10534 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
10535 [Bodo Moeller]
10536
10537 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
10538 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
10539 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
10540 are always statically linked for now, but there are
10541 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
10542 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
10543 [Richard Levitte]
10544
10545 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
10546 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
10547 Random Numbers.
10548 [Ulf Möller]
10549
10550 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
10551 DSA key.
10552 [Steve Henson]
10553
10554 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
10555 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
10556 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
10557 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
10558 form signing output easier to verify.
10559 [Steve Henson]
10560
10561 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
10562 [Steve Henson]
10563
10564 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
10565 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
10566 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
10567 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
10568 are needed because all other string types have virtually
10569 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
10570 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
10571 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
10572 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
10573 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
10574 [Steve Henson]
10575
10576 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
10577
10578 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
10579 the syntax given in objects.README.
10580 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
10581 obj_mac.h.
10582 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
10583 obj_mac.h.
10584
10585 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
10586 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
10587 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
10588 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
10589 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
10590 consistent name changes.
10591 [Richard Levitte]
10592
10593 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
10594 [Bodo Moeller]
10595
10596 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
10597 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
10598 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
10599 environment variable, or the default random state file.
10600 [Richard Levitte]
10601
10602 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
10603 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
10604 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
10605 of safestack.h .
10606 [Steve Henson]
10607
10608 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
10609 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
10610 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
10611 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
10612 [Steve Henson]
10613
10614 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
10615 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
10616 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
10617 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
10618 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
10619 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
10620 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
10621 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
10622 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
10623 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
10624 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
10625 [Steve Henson]
10626
10627 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
10628 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
10629 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
10630 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
10631 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
10632 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
10633 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
10634 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
10635 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
10636 algorithm to openssl-dev.
10637 [Steve Henson]
10638
10639 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
10640 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
10641 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
10642 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
10643
10644 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
10645 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
10646 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
10647 omit any duplicate addresses.
10648 [Steve Henson]
10649
10650 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
10651 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
10652 [Bodo Moeller]
10653
10654 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
10655 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
10656 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
10657 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
10658 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
10659 [Bodo Moeller]
10660
10661 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
10662 software:
10663 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
10664 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
10665 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
10666 Free => OPENSSL_free
10667 [Richard Levitte]
10668
10669 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
10670 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
10671 [Bodo Moeller]
10672
10673 *) CygWin32 support.
10674 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
10675
10676 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
10677 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
10678 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
10679 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
10680 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
10681 approach.
10682 [Geoff Thorpe]
10683
10684 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
10685 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
10686 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
10687 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
10688 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
10689 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
10690 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
10691 [Geoff Thorpe]
10692
10693 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
10694 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
10695 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
10696 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
10697 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
10698 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
10699 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
10700 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
10701 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
10702 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
10703 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
10704 [Bodo Moeller]
10705
10706 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
10707 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
10708 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
10709 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
10710 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
10711
10712 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
10713 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
10714 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
10715 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
10716 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
10717
10718 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
10719 ciphers.
10720
10721 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
10722 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
10723 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
10724 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
10725
10726 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
10727
10728 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
10729 of macros.
10730
10731 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
10732 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
10733 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
10734 flags.
10735
10736 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
10737 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
10738 any installed hardware versions can.
10739 [Steve Henson]
10740
10741 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
10742 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
10743 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
10744 number.
10745 [Bodo Moeller]
10746
10747 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
10748 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
10749 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
10750 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
10751 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
10752
10753 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
10754 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
10755 [Steve Henson]
10756
10757 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
10758 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
10759 [Richard Levitte]
10760
10761 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
10762 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
10763 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
10764 features.
10765 [Steve Henson]
10766
10767 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
10768 [Ulf Möller]
10769
10770 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
10771 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
10772 but no ssl client purpose.
10773 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
10774
10775 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
10776 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
10777 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
10778 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
10779 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
10780 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
10781 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
10782 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
10783 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
10784 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
10785 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
10786 [Steve Henson]
10787
10788 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
10789 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
10790 be obtained from the error queue.
10791 [Bodo Moeller]
10792
10793 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
10794 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
10795 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
10796 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
10797 [Bodo Moeller]
10798
10799 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
10800 [Ulf Möller]
10801
10802 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
10803 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
10804 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
10805 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
10806 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
10807 [Geoff Thorpe]
10808
10809 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
10810 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
10811 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
10812 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
10813 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
10814 [Geoff Thorpe]
10815
10816 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
10817 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
10818 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
10819 may not be NULL.
10820 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
10821
10822 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
10823 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
10824 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
10825 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
10826 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
10827 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
10828 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
10829 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
10830 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
10831 or "the configuration storage API"...
10832
10833 The new configuration file reading functions are:
10834
10835 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
10836 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
10837
10838 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
10839
10840 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
10841
10842 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
10843 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
10844 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
10845 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
10846 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
10847 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
10848 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
10849
10850 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
10851 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
10852 [Richard Levitte]
10853
10854 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
10855 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
10856 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
10857 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
10858 [Bodo Moeller]
10859
10860 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
10861 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
10862 them in a portable way.
10863 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
10864
10865 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
10866
10867 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
10868
10869 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
10870 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
10871
10872 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
10873 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
10874 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
10875 <attili@amaxo.com>]
10876
10877 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
10878 was larger than the MD block size.
10879 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
10880
10881 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
10882 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
10883 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
10884 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
10885 components.
10886 [Steve Henson]
10887
10888 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
10889 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
10890 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
10891
10892 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
10893 discouraged.
10894 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
10895
10896 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
10897 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
10898 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
10899 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
10900 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
10901 Additional arguments are always ignored.
10902
10903 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
10904 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
10905
10906 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
10907 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
10908 [Bodo Moeller]
10909
10910 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
10911 [Bodo Moeller]
10912
10913 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
10914 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
10915 its own key.
10916 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
10917 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
10918 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
10919 you effectively got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
10920 [Bodo Moeller]
10921
10922 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
10923 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
10924 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
10925 does not suppress any output.
10926 [Richard Levitte]
10927
10928 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
10929 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
10930 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
10931 with all the associated security issues.
10932
10933 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
10934 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
10935 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
10936 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
10937 use the value in the default purpose.
10938 [Steve Henson]
10939
10940 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
10941 and fix a memory leak.
10942 [Steve Henson]
10943
10944 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
10945 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
10946 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
10947 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
10948 [Bodo Moeller]
10949
10950 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
10951 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
10952 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
10953 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
10954 [Bodo Moeller]
10955
10956 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
10957 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
10958 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
10959 [Bodo Moeller]
10960
10961 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
10962 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
10963 [Bodo Moeller]
10964
10965 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
10966 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
10967 which was free.
10968 [Steve Henson]
10969
10970 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
10971 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
10972 [Bodo Moeller]
10973
10974 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
10975 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
10976 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
10977 [Bodo Moeller]
10978
10979 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
10980 number generation fails.
10981 [Bodo Moeller]
10982
10983 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
10984 [Bodo Moeller]
10985
10986 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
10987 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
10988
10989 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
10990 [Ulf Möller]
10991
10992 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
10993 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
10994
10995 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
10996 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
10997
10998 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
10999
11000 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
11001 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
11002 [Steve Henson]
11003
11004 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
11005 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
11006
11007 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
11008 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
11009 [Ulf Möller]
11010
11011 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
11012 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
11013 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
11014 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
11015 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
11016 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
11017
11018 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
11019 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
11020 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
11021 for example.
11022 [Steve Henson]
11023
11024 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
11025 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
11026 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
11027 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
11028 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
11029 counter, some don't.)
11030 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
11031 counters or duplicate objects.
11032 [Steve Henson]
11033
11034 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
11035 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
11036 [Steve Henson]
11037
11038 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
11039 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
11040 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
11041
11042 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
11043 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
11044 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
11045 or -rand.
11046 [Ulf Möller]
11047
11048 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
11049 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
11050 [Steve Henson]
11051
11052 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
11053 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
11054 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
11055 cipher list.
11056 [Steve Henson]
11057
11058 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
11059 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
11060 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
11061 [Steve Henson]
11062
11063 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
11064 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
11065 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
11066 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
11067 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
11068 should work without changes.
11069 [Richard Levitte]
11070
11071 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
11072 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
11073 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
11074 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
11075 must be defined. E.g.,
11076 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
11077 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
11078 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
11079 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
11080
11081 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
11082 record layer.
11083 [Bodo Moeller]
11084
11085 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
11086 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
11087 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
11088 [Steve Henson]
11089
11090 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
11091 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
11092 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
11093 request header lines. Some software needs this.
11094 [Steve Henson]
11095
11096 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
11097 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
11098 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
11099 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
11100 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
11101 is prompted for as usual.
11102 [Steve Henson]
11103
11104 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
11105 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
11106 autodetect the card and use it if present.
11107 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
11108
11109 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
11110 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
11111 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
11112 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
11113 [Steve Henson]
11114
11115 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
11116 [Andy Polyakov]
11117
11118 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
11119 of seed file.
11120 [Steve Henson]
11121
11122 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
11123 [Bodo Moeller]
11124
11125 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
11126 [Steve Henson]
11127
11128 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
11129 bits.
11130 [Ulf Möller]
11131
11132 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
11133 [Ulf Möller]
11134
11135 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
11136 [Andy Polyakov]
11137
11138 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divisor are
11139 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
11140 [Ulf Möller]
11141
11142 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
11143 options to produce them.
11144 [Steve Henson]
11145
11146 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
11147 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
11148 [Ulf Möller]
11149
11150 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
11151 for p == 0.
11152 [Ulf Möller]
11153
11154 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
11155 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
11156 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
11157 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
11158 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
11159 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
11160 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
11161 [Steve Henson]
11162
11163 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
11164 [Steve Henson]
11165
11166 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
11167 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
11168 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
11169 [Bodo Moeller]
11170
11171 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
11172 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
11173
11174 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
11175 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
11176 [Ulf Möller]
11177
11178 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
11179 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
11180 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
11181 has already seen).
11182 [Bodo Moeller]
11183
11184 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
11185 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
11186
11187 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
11188 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
11189 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
11190 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
11191 generation becomes much faster.
11192
11193 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
11194 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
11195 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
11196 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
11197 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
11198 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
11199 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
11200 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
11201 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
11202 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
11203 [Bodo Moeller]
11204
11205 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
11206 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
11207 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
11208 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
11209 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
11210 trial division stage.
11211 [Bodo Moeller]
11212
11213 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
11214 as ASN1_TIME.
11215 [Steve Henson]
11216
11217 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
11218 [Steve Henson]
11219
11220 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
11221 [Ulf Möller]
11222
11223 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
11224 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
11225 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
11226 the comments.
11227 [Ulf Möller]
11228
11229 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
11230 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
11231 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
11232 [Bodo Moeller]
11233
11234 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
11235 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
11236 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
11237 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
11238
11239 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
11240 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
11241 [Steve Henson]
11242
11243 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
11244 [Ulf Möller]
11245
11246 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
11247 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
11248 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
11249 Rabin-Miller iterations.
11250 [Ulf Möller]
11251
11252 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
11253 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
11254 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
11255 [Ulf Möller]
11256
11257 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
11258 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
11259 (instead of parameters) in future.
11260 [Steve Henson]
11261
11262 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
11263 when a new cipher list is set.
11264 [Steve Henson]
11265
11266 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
11267 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
11268 wrong.
11269
11270 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
11271 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
11272 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
11273
11274 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
11275 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
11276 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
11277 an error is flagged.
11278
11279 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
11280 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
11281 the readability was also increased :-)
11282 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
11283
11284 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
11285 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
11286 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
11287 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
11288 as the root CA.
11289 [Steve Henson]
11290
11291 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
11292 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
11293 [Steve Henson]
11294
11295 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
11296 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
11297 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
11298 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
11299 instead.
11300
11301 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
11302 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
11303 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
11304 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
11305 because they handle more complex structures.)
11306 [Steve Henson]
11307
11308 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
11309 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
11310 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
11311 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11312
11313 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
11314 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
11315 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
11316 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
11317 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
11318 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
11319 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
11320 [Ulf Möller]
11321
11322 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
11323 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
11324 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
11325 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
11326 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
11327 [Bodo Moeller]
11328
11329 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
11330 [Bodo Moeller]
11331
11332 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
11333 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
11334 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
11335 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
11336 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
11337 to use this.
11338
11339 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
11340 code.
11341 [Steve Henson]
11342
11343 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
11344 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
11345 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
11346 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
11347 [Steve Henson]
11348
11349 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
11350 [Ulf Möller]
11351
11352 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
11353 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
11354 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
11355 international characters are used.
11356
11357 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
11358 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
11359 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
11360 in ASN1 order.
11361 [Steve Henson]
11362
11363 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
11364 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
11365 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
11366 request.
11367
11368 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
11369 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
11370 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
11371 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
11372 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
11373 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
11374
11375 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
11376 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
11377 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
11378 be handled by the string table functions.
11379
11380 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
11381 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
11382 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
11383 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
11384 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
11385 types at all.
11386 [Steve Henson]
11387
11388 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
11389 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
11390 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
11391 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
11392 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
11393
11394 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
11395 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
11396 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
11397 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
11398 [Bodo Moeller]
11399
11400 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
11401 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
11402 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
11403 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
11404 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
11405 SHA1.
11406 [Andy Polyakov]
11407
11408 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
11409 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
11410 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
11411 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
11412 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
11413 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
11414 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
11415 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
11416
11417 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
11418 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
11419 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
11420 [Steve Henson]
11421
11422 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
11423 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
11424 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
11425 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
11426 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
11427 support to pkcs8 application.
11428 [Steve Henson]
11429
11430 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
11431 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
11432 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
11433 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
11434 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
11435 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
11436 [Bodo Moeller]
11437
11438 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
11439 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
11440 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
11441 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
11442 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
11443 consistency.
11444 [Bodo Moeller]
11445
11446 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
11447 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
11448 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
11449 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
11450 example.
11451 [Steve Henson]
11452
11453 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
11454 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
11455 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
11456 and any application specific purposes.
11457
11458 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
11459 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
11460 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
11461 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
11462 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
11463 if the certificate is self signed.
11464 [Steve Henson]
11465
11466 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
11467 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
11468 [Steve Henson]
11469
11470 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
11471 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
11472 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
11473 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
11474 [Steve Henson]
11475
11476 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
11477 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
11478 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
11479 Update documentation.
11480 [Steve Henson]
11481
11482 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
11483 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
11484 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
11485 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
11486 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
11487 [Steve Henson]
11488
11489 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
11490 for details.
11491 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
11492
11493 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
11494 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
11495 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
11496 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
11497 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
11498 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
11499 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
11500 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
11501 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
11502 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
11503
11504 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
11505
11506 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11507 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11508 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
11509 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
11510 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
11511
11512 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
11513 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
11514 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
11515 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
11516 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
11517 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
11518 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
11519 request additional information:
11520 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
11521 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
11522
11523 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
11524 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
11525 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
11526 options.
11527
11528 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
11529 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
11530
11531 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
11532 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
11533 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
11534
11535 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
11536 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
11537
11538 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
11539 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
11540 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
11541 algorithm.
11542 [Steve Henson]
11543
11544 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
11545 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
11546 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
11547
11548 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
11549 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
11550 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
11551 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
11552 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
11553 included in OpenSSL.
11554 [Steve Henson]
11555
11556 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
11557 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
11558 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
11559 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
11560 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
11561 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
11562 [Bodo Moeller]
11563
11564 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
11565 PKCS12 structure.
11566 [Steve Henson]
11567
11568 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
11569 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
11570 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
11571 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
11572 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
11573 structure.
11574 [Steve Henson]
11575
11576 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
11577 need initialising.
11578 [Steve Henson]
11579
11580 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
11581 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
11582 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
11583 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
11584 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
11585 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
11586 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
11587 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
11588 be maintained manually.
11589
11590 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
11591 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
11592 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
11593 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
11594 work because people forget to call this function]
11595 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
11596 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
11597 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
11598 [Steve Henson]
11599
11600 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
11601 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
11602 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
11603 should be discouraged from doing it.
11604 [Ben Laurie]
11605
11606 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
11607 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
11608 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
11609 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
11610 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
11611 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
11612 [Steve Henson]
11613
11614 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
11615 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
11616 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
11617
11618 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
11619 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
11620 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
11621
11622 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
11623 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
11624 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
11625 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
11626 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
11627 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
11628
11629 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
11630 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
11631 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
11632
11633 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
11634 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
11635 and vice versa.
11636
11637 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
11638 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
11639 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
11640 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
11641 [Steve Henson]
11642
11643 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
11644 [Steve Henson]
11645
11646 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
11647 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
11648 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
11649 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
11650 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
11651 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
11652 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
11653 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
11654 keys so we should be OK.
11655
11656 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
11657 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
11658 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
11659 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
11660 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
11661 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
11662 stay in the name of compatibility.
11663
11664 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
11665 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
11666 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
11667
11668 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
11669 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
11670 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
11671 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
11672 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
11673 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
11674 supplied key).
11675 [Steve Henson]
11676
11677 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
11678 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
11679 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
11680 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
11681 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
11682 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
11683 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
11684 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
11685 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
11686 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
11687 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
11688 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
11689 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
11690 [Steve Henson]
11691
11692 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
11693 [Steve Henson]
11694
11695 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
11696 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
11697 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
11698 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
11699 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
11700 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
11701 single self signed certificate. This means that:
11702 openssl verify ss.pem
11703 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
11704 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
11705 is OK.
11706 [Steve Henson]
11707
11708 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
11709 (and add it to external session representation).
11710 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
11711 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
11712 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
11713 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
11714 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
11715 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
11716 security holes.
11717 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
11718
11719 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
11720 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
11721 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
11722 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
11723
11724 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
11725 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
11726 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
11727 [Steve Henson]
11728
11729 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
11730 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
11731 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
11732 code.
11733 [Steve Henson]
11734
11735 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
11736 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
11737 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
11738
11739 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
11740 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
11741 certificate auxiliary information.
11742 [Steve Henson]
11743
11744 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
11745 the 'enc' command.
11746 [Steve Henson]
11747
11748 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
11749 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
11750 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
11751 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
11752 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
11753 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
11754 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
11755 [Richard Levitte]
11756
11757 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
11758 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
11759 [Steve Henson]
11760
11761 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
11762 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
11763 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
11764 manpages and fix a few bugs.
11765 [Steve Henson]
11766
11767 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
11768 [Steve Henson]
11769
11770 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
11771 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
11772 [Steve Henson]
11773
11774 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
11775 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
11776 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
11777 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
11778 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
11779 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
11780 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
11781 using the new 'x509' options.
11782
11783 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
11784 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
11785 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
11786 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
11787 for all purposes.
11788 [Steve Henson]
11789
11790 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
11791 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
11792 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
11793 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
11794 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
11795 [Mark Cox]
11796
11797 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
11798 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
11799 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
11800 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
11801 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
11802 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
11803 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
11804 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
11805 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
11806 the key length and effective key length are equal.
11807 [Steve Henson]
11808
11809 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
11810 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
11811 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
11812 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
11813 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
11814 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
11815 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
11816 [Steve Henson]
11817
11818 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
11819 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
11820 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
11821 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
11822 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
11823 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
11824 openssl.cnf for more info.
11825 [Steve Henson]
11826
11827 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
11828 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
11829 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
11830 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
11831 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
11832 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
11833 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
11834 md should be large enough anyway.
11835 [Bodo Moeller]
11836
11837 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
11838 for handling the random seed file.
11839
11840 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
11841 ca,
11842 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
11843 s_client,
11844 s_server,
11845 x509 (when signing).
11846 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
11847 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
11848 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
11849
11850 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
11851 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
11852 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
11853 that support '-rand'.
11854 [Bodo Moeller]
11855
11856 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
11857 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
11858 [Bodo Moeller]
11859
11860 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
11861 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
11862 [Bill Perry]
11863
11864 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
11865 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
11866 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
11867 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
11868 is suitable.
11869 [Steve Henson]
11870
11871 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
11872 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
11873 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
11874 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
11875 [Steve Henson]
11876
11877 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
11878 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
11879 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
11880 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
11881 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
11882 print out all the purposes.
11883 [Steve Henson]
11884
11885 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
11886 functions.
11887 [Steve Henson]
11888
11889 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
11890 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
11891 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
11892 single function call.
11893 [Steve Henson]
11894
11895 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
11896 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
11897 [Andy Polyakov]
11898
11899 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
11900 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
11901 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
11902 [Steve Henson]
11903
11904 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
11905 when producing the local key id.
11906 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11907
11908 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
11909 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
11910 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
11911 "server.pem".
11912 [Steve Henson]
11913
11914 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
11915 a public key to be input or output. For example:
11916 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
11917 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
11918 [Steve Henson]
11919
11920 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
11921 in the message. This was handled by allowing
11922 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
11923 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
11924
11925 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
11926 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
11927 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
11928 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11929
11930 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
11931 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
11932 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
11933 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
11934 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
11935 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
11936 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
11937 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
11938 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
11939 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
11940 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
11941 trivial: move one line.
11942 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
11943
11944 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
11945 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
11946 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
11947 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
11948 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
11949 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
11950 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
11951 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
11952 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
11953 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
11954 with an event loop for example.
11955 [Steve Henson]
11956
11957 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
11958 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
11959 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
11960 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
11961 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
11962 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
11963 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
11964 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
11965 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
11966 [Steve Henson]
11967
11968 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
11969 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
11970 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
11971 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
11972 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
11973 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
11974 [Steve Henson]
11975
11976 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
11977 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
11978 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
11979 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
11980
11981 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
11982 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
11983 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
11984 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
11985 key generation.
11986 [Steve Henson]
11987
11988 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
11989 (still largely untested)
11990 [Bodo Moeller]
11991
11992 *) New function ASN1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
11993 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
11994 [Steve Henson]
11995
11996 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
11997 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
11998 [Steve Henson]
11999
12000 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
12001 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
12002 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
12003 [Bodo Moeller]
12004
12005 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
12006 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
12007 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
12008 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
12009 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
12010 [Steve Henson]
12011
12012 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
12013 [Andy Polyakov]
12014
12015 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
12016 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
12017 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
12018 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
12019 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
12020 in ca.
12021 [Steve Henson]
12022
12023 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
12024 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
12025 1.OU="Unit name 1"
12026 2.OU="Unit name 2"
12027 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
12028 [Steve Henson]
12029
12030 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
12031 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
12032 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
12033 are otherwise ignored at present.
12034 [Steve Henson]
12035
12036 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
12037 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
12038 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
12039 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
12040 copied until the next read.
12041 [Steve Henson]
12042
12043 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
12044 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
12045 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
12046 [Steve Henson]
12047
12048 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
12049 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
12050 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
12051 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
12052 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
12053 associated functions.
12054 [Steve Henson]
12055
12056 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
12057 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
12058 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
12059 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
12060 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
12061 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
12062 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
12063 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
12064 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
12065 memory BIOs.
12066 [Steve Henson]
12067
12068 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
12069 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
12070 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
12071 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
12072 [Bodo Moeller]
12073
12074 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
12075 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
12076 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
12077 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
12078 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
12079 functionality.
12080 [Steve Henson]
12081
12082 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
12083 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
12084 under Win32.
12085 [Steve Henson]
12086
12087 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
12088 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
12089 extensions to be obtained and added.
12090 [Steve Henson]
12091
12092 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
12093 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
12094 [Bodo Moeller]
12095
12096 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
12097
12098 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
12099 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12100
12101 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
12102 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
12103
12104 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
12105 program.
12106 [Steve Henson]
12107
12108 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
12109 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
12110 DH parameters contain its length).
12111
12112 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
12113 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
12114 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
12115 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
12116 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
12117 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
12118 utter importance to use
12119 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
12120 or
12121 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
12122 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
12123 attacks may become possible!
12124 [Bodo Moeller]
12125
12126 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
12127 [Bodo Moeller]
12128
12129 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
12130 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
12131 [Steve Henson]
12132
12133 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
12134 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
12135 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
12136 or long name.
12137 [Steve Henson]
12138
12139 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
12140 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
12141 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
12142 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
12143 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
12144 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
12145 private key operations.
12146 [Steve Henson]
12147
12148 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
12149 [Andy Polyakov]
12150
12151 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
12152 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
12153 to
12154 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
12155 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
12156 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
12157 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
12158 the password callback is called.
12159 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
12160
12161 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
12162
12163 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
12164 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
12165 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
12166 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
12167 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
12168 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
12169 this will work.
12170
12171 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
12172 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
12173 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
12174 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
12175 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
12176 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
12177 [Bodo Moeller]
12178
12179 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
12180 [Andy Polyakov]
12181
12182 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
12183 delete an unused file.
12184 [Ulf Möller]
12185
12186 *) Add support for the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
12187 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
12188 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
12189 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
12190 [Steve Henson]
12191
12192 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
12193 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
12194 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
12195 of an error.
12196 [Bodo Moeller]
12197
12198 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
12199 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
12200 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
12201
12202 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
12203 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
12204 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
12205 comparison" warnings.
12206 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
12207 [Steve Henson]
12208
12209 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
12210 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
12211 derived keys are printed to stderr.
12212 [Steve Henson]
12213
12214 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
12215 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
12216
12217 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
12218 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
12219
12220 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
12221 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
12222 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
12223
12224 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
12225 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
12226 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
12227 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
12228 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
12229 this bug.
12230 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
12231
12232 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
12233 The interface is as follows:
12234 Applications can use
12235 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
12236 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
12237 "off" is now the default.
12238 The library internally uses
12239 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
12240 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
12241 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
12242
12243 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
12244 even the default) are now avoided.
12245
12246 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
12247 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
12248 than just having a counter.
12249
12250 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
12251
12252 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
12253 extensions.
12254 [Bodo Moeller]
12255
12256 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
12257 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
12258 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
12259 Initial "mode" flags are:
12260
12261 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
12262 a single record has been written.
12263 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
12264 retries use the same buffer location.
12265 (But all of the contents must be
12266 copied!)
12267 [Bodo Moeller]
12268
12269 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
12270 worked.
12271
12272 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
12273 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
12274
12275 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
12276 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
12277 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
12278 [Steve Henson]
12279
12280 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
12281 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
12282 test programs.
12283 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
12284
12285 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
12286 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
12287 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
12288 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
12289 point to the end.
12290 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
12291 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
12292
12293 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
12294 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
12295 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
12296 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
12297 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
12298 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
12299 [Steve Henson]
12300
12301 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
12302 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
12303 necessary function names.
12304 [Steve Henson]
12305
12306 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
12307 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
12308 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
12309 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
12310 [Bodo Moeller]
12311
12312 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
12313 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
12314 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
12315 [Steve Henson]
12316
12317 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
12318 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
12319 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
12320 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
12321 such programs?)
12322 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
12323 need locks.
12324 [Bodo Moeller]
12325
12326 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
12327 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
12328 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
12329 [Bodo Moeller]
12330
12331 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
12332 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
12333 appropriate.
12334 [Bodo Moeller]
12335
12336 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
12337 for the encoded length.
12338 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
12339
12340 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
12341 [Steve Henson]
12342
12343 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
12344 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
12345 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
12346 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
12347 [Steve Henson]
12348
12349 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
12350 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
12351 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12352
12353 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
12354 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
12355 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
12356 unusual formatting.
12357 [Steve Henson]
12358
12359 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
12360 to use the new extension code.
12361 [Steve Henson]
12362
12363 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
12364 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
12365 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
12366 constant.
12367 [Steve Henson]
12368
12369 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
12370 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
12371 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
12372 [Bodo Moeller]
12373
12374 #if 0
12375 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
12376 [Ben Laurie]
12377 #else
12378 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
12379 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
12380 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
12381 #endif
12382
12383 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
12384 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
12385 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
12386 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
12387 [Ben Laurie]
12388
12389 *) DES library cleanups.
12390 [Ulf Möller]
12391
12392 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
12393 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
12394 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
12395 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
12396 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
12397 of v2.0.
12398 [Steve Henson]
12399
12400 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
12401 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
12402 [Bodo Moeller]
12403
12404 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
12405 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
12406 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
12407 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
12408 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
12409 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
12410 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
12411 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
12412 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
12413 [Steve Henson]
12414
12415 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
12416 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
12417 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
12418 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
12419 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
12420 value doesn't matter.
12421 [Steve Henson]
12422
12423 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
12424 support mutable.
12425 [Ben Laurie]
12426
12427 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
12428 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
12429 "linux-sparc" configuration.
12430 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
12431
12432 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
12433 [Ulf Möller]
12434
12435 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
12436 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
12437 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
12438
12439 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
12440 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
12441
12442 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
12443 [Ben Laurie]
12444
12445 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
12446 [Ben Laurie]
12447
12448 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
12449 [Ben Laurie]
12450
12451 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
12452 [Bodo Moeller]
12453
12454
12455 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
12456
12457 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
12458
12459 *) Updated some demos.
12460 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
12461
12462 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
12463 [Wu Zhigang]
12464
12465 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
12466 [Steve Henson]
12467
12468 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
12469 [Steve Henson]
12470
12471 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
12472 instead of using a fixed path.
12473 [Bodo Moeller]
12474
12475 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
12476 [Andy Polyakov]
12477
12478 *) Improvements for VMS support.
12479 [Richard Levitte]
12480
12481
12482 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
12483
12484 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
12485 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
12486 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12487
12488 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
12489 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
12490 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
12491 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
12492 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
12493 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
12494 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
12495 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
12496 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
12497 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
12498 [Steve Henson]
12499
12500 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
12501 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
12502 [Steve Henson]
12503
12504 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
12505 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
12506 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
12507 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
12508 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
12509
12510 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
12511 [Bodo Moeller]
12512
12513 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
12514 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
12515 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
12516 [Steve Henson]
12517
12518 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
12519 [Ben Laurie]
12520
12521 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
12522 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
12523 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
12524 key elements as negative integers.
12525 [Steve Henson]
12526
12527 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
12528 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12529
12530 *) VMS support.
12531 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
12532
12533 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
12534 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
12535 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
12536 [Steve Henson]
12537
12538 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
12539 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
12540 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
12541 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
12542 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
12543 [Bodo Moeller]
12544
12545 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
12546 [Ulf Möller]
12547
12548 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
12549 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
12550 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
12551 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12552
12553 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
12554 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
12555 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
12556
12557 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
12558 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
12559 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
12560 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
12561 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
12562 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
12563 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
12564 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
12565 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
12566
12567 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
12568 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
12569 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
12570 does not influence s as it used to.
12571
12572 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
12573 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
12574 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
12575 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
12576 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
12577 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
12578 [Bodo Moeller]
12579
12580 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
12581 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
12582 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
12583 key type.
12584 [Steve Henson]
12585
12586 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
12587 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
12588 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
12589 and 'x509').
12590 [Steve Henson]
12591
12592 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
12593 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
12594 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
12595 extension option.
12596 [Steve Henson]
12597
12598 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
12599 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
12600 [Ben Laurie]
12601
12602 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
12603 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
12604
12605 *) Support Mingw32.
12606 [Ulf Möller]
12607
12608 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
12609 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12610
12611 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
12612 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12613
12614 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
12615 [Ulf Möller]
12616
12617 *) Update HPUX configuration.
12618 [Anonymous]
12619
12620 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
12621 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12622
12623 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
12624 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
12625 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
12626 DER-encoded.)
12627 [Bodo Moeller]
12628
12629 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
12630 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
12631 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
12632 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
12633 now it really counts the depth.
12634 [Bodo Moeller]
12635
12636 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
12637 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
12638 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
12639 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
12640 didn't match the private key).
12641
12642 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
12643 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
12644 connection using the SSL_CTX).
12645 [Bodo Moeller]
12646
12647 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
12648 [Ulf Möller]
12649
12650 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
12651 David Harris.
12652 [Bodo Moeller]
12653
12654 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
12655 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
12656 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
12657 [Bodo Moeller]
12658
12659 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
12660 [Bodo Moeller]
12661
12662 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
12663 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
12664 such as /usr/local/bin.
12665 [Bodo Moeller]
12666
12667 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
12668 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12669
12670 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
12671 [Ulf Möller]
12672
12673 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
12674 extension adding in x509 utility.
12675 [Steve Henson]
12676
12677 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
12678 [Ulf Möller]
12679
12680 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
12681 prototypes.
12682 [Steve Henson]
12683
12684 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
12685 [Ulf Möller]
12686
12687 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
12688 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
12689 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
12690 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
12691 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
12692 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
12693 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
12694 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
12695 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
12696 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
12697 [Steve Henson]
12698
12699 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
12700 [Bodo Moeller]
12701
12702 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
12703 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
12704 [Bodo Moeller]
12705
12706 *) Fix some race conditions.
12707 [Bodo Moeller]
12708
12709 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
12710 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
12711 [Steve Henson]
12712
12713 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
12714 [Ulf Möller]
12715
12716 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
12717 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
12718 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
12719 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
12720
12721 *) Fix lots of warnings.
12722 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12723
12724 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
12725 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
12726 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12727
12728 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
12729 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12730
12731 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
12732 [Ulf Möller]
12733
12734 *) Fix typos in error codes.
12735 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
12736
12737 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
12738 [Ulf Möller]
12739
12740 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
12741 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12742
12743 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
12744 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
12745 [Steve Henson]
12746
12747 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
12748 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
12749 [Ben Laurie]
12750
12751 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
12752 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
12753 [Steve Henson]
12754
12755 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
12756 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
12757 [Steve Henson]
12758
12759 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
12760 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
12761 [Steve Henson]
12762
12763 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
12764 support typesafe stack.
12765 [Steve Henson]
12766
12767 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
12768 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
12769
12770 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
12771 old X509V3 handling code.
12772 [Steve Henson]
12773
12774 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
12775 [Ulf Möller]
12776
12777 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
12778 [Bodo Moeller]
12779
12780 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
12781 [Ben Laurie]
12782
12783 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
12784 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
12785
12786 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
12787 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
12788 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
12789 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
12790 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
12791 [Ben Laurie]
12792
12793 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
12794 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
12795 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
12796 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
12797 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
12798
12799 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
12800 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
12801 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
12802 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12803
12804 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
12805 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
12806 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
12807 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12808
12809 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
12810 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
12811 all available ciphers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
12812 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
12813 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
12814 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
12815 [Bodo Moeller]
12816
12817 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
12818 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
12819 [Bodo Moeller]
12820
12821 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
12822 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
12823 [Ulf Möller]
12824
12825 *) Tweaks to Configure
12826 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12827
12828 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
12829 yet...
12830 [Steve Henson]
12831
12832 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
12833 [Ulf Möller]
12834
12835 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
12836 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
12837 [Ulf Möller]
12838
12839 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
12840 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
12841 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
12842 [Bodo Moeller]
12843
12844 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
12845 [Bodo Moeller]
12846
12847 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
12848 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
12849 [Steve Henson]
12850
12851 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
12852 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
12853 to library startup routines.
12854 [Steve Henson]
12855
12856 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
12857 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
12858 codes along the way.
12859 [Steve Henson]
12860
12861 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
12862 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
12863 objects to objects.h
12864 [Steve Henson]
12865
12866 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
12867 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
12868 [Steve Henson]
12869
12870 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
12871 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
12872
12873 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
12874 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
12875 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
12876
12877 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
12878 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
12879 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12880
12881 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
12882 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
12883 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
12884
12885
12886 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
12887
12888 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
12889 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
12890 [Ben Laurie]
12891
12892 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
12893 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
12894 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
12895 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
12896 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
12897
12898 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
12899 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
12900 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
12901 document.
12902 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12903
12904 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
12905 Malloc, Free.
12906 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
12907
12908 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
12909 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12910
12911 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
12912 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
12913 if someone would make that last step automatic.
12914 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
12915
12916 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
12917 [Ben Laurie]
12918
12919 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
12920 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
12921 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
12922 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
12923 [Steve Henson]
12924
12925 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
12926 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
12927 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
12928 [Steve Henson]
12929
12930 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
12931 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
12932 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
12933 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
12934 installed as `perl').
12935 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12936
12937 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
12938 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12939
12940 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
12941 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
12942 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
12943 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
12944 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
12945 [Steve Henson]
12946
12947 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
12948 [Ben Laurie]
12949
12950 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
12951 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
12952 is horrible: I feel ill....
12953 [Steve Henson]
12954
12955 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
12956 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
12957 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
12958 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
12959 [Steve Henson]
12960
12961 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
12962 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12963
12964 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
12965 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
12966 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
12967 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12968
12969 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
12970 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
12971 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
12972 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
12973 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
12974 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
12975 openssl_bio.xs.
12976 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12977
12978 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
12979 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12980
12981 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
12982 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
12983
12984 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
12985 [Ben Laurie]
12986
12987 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
12988 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
12989 in CRLs.
12990 [Steve Henson]
12991
12992 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
12993 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
12994 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
12995 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
12996 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
12997 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
12998 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
12999 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
13000 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
13001 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
13002 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13003
13004 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
13005 [Ben Laurie]
13006
13007 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
13008 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
13009 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
13010 for linking it into DSOs.
13011 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13012
13013 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
13014 Fixed.
13015 [Ben Laurie]
13016
13017 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
13018 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
13019 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
13020 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
13021 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
13022 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13023
13024 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
13025 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
13026 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
13027 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
13028 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
13029 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
13030 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13031
13032 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
13033 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
13034 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
13035 encryption.
13036 [Ben Laurie]
13037
13038 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
13039 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
13040 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
13041 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
13042 [Steve Henson]
13043
13044 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
13045 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
13046 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
13047 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
13048 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
13049 field as blank.
13050 [Steve Henson]
13051
13052 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
13053 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
13054 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
13055 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
13056 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13057
13058 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
13059 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
13060 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
13061
13062 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
13063 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
13064
13065 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
13066 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
13067 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
13068 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
13069 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
13070 [Steve Henson]
13071
13072 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
13073 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
13074 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
13075 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
13076 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
13077 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
13078 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
13079 [Ben Laurie]
13080
13081 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
13082 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
13083 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
13084 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
13085 [Ben Laurie]
13086
13087 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
13088 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
13089
13090 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
13091 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
13092 [Steve Henson]
13093
13094 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
13095 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
13096 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
13097 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
13098 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
13099 (e.g. s_server).
13100 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
13101 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
13102 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
13103 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
13104 no way to reconfigure them.
13105 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
13106 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
13107 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
13108 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
13109 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
13110 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13111
13112 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
13113 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
13114 recognized by the users.
13115 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13116
13117 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
13118 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
13119 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
13120 already masked variable.
13121 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
13122
13123 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
13124 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
13125
13126 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
13127 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
13128 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
13129 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
13130
13131 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
13132 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
13133 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13134
13135 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
13136 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
13137 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
13138 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
13139 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
13140 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
13141 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
13142 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
13143 now, too.
13144 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13145
13146 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
13147 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
13148 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13149
13150 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
13151 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
13152 config file.
13153 [Steve Henson]
13154
13155 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
13156 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
13157
13158 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
13159 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
13160 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
13161 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
13162 [Ben Laurie]
13163
13164 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
13165 [Steve Henson]
13166
13167 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
13168 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13169
13170 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
13171 [Ben Laurie]
13172
13173 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
13174 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
13175 [Steve Henson]
13176
13177 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
13178 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
13179 [Steve Henson]
13180
13181 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
13182 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
13183 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
13184 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
13185 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
13186 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
13187 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
13188 Ben Laurie]
13189
13190 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
13191 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13192
13193 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
13194 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
13195 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
13196 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
13197 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13198
13199 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
13200 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
13201 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
13202 [Steve Henson]
13203
13204 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
13205 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
13206 an example.
13207 [Steve Henson]
13208
13209 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
13210 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
13211 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13212
13213 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
13214 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
13215 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
13216 build instructions.
13217 [Steve Henson]
13218
13219 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
13220 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
13221 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
13222 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
13223 [Steve Henson]
13224
13225 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
13226 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
13227 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
13228 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
13229 [Ben Laurie]
13230
13231 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
13232 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
13233 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
13234 so it wasn't spotted.
13235 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
13236
13237 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
13238 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
13239 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
13240 vectors if you have them.
13241 [Ben Laurie]
13242
13243 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
13244 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
13245 [Ben Laurie]
13246
13247 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
13248 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
13249 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
13250 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
13251 If you do a:
13252 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
13253 it will update them.
13254 [Steve Henson]
13255
13256 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
13257 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
13258 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
13259 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
13260 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
13261 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
13262 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
13263 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13264
13265 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
13266 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
13267 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
13268 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
13269 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
13270 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
13271 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
13272 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
13273 the crypto/md/ stuff).
13274 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13275
13276 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
13277 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
13278 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
13279 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
13280 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
13281 [Steve Henson]
13282
13283 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
13284 INTEGER code.
13285 [Steve Henson]
13286
13287 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
13288 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13289
13290 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
13291 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
13292
13293 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
13294 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
13295 [Ben Laurie]
13296
13297 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
13298 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
13299
13300 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
13301 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
13302
13303 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
13304 [Steve Henson]
13305
13306 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
13307 few typos.
13308 [Steve Henson]
13309
13310 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
13311 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
13312 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
13313 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13314
13315 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
13316 [Steve Henson]
13317
13318 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
13319 [Steve Henson]
13320
13321 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
13322 [Steve Henson]
13323
13324 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
13325 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
13326 [Steve Henson]
13327
13328 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
13329 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
13330 CA extensions.
13331 [Steve Henson]
13332
13333 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
13334 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
13335 [Steve Henson]
13336
13337 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
13338 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
13339 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
13340 [Steve Henson]
13341
13342 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
13343 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
13344 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
13345 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
13346 properly to be processed.
13347 [Steve Henson]
13348
13349 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
13350 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
13351 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
13352 [Ben Laurie]
13353
13354 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
13355 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
13356
13357 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
13358 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
13359 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
13360 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
13361 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
13362 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
13363 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
13364 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
13365 or delete all the .err files.
13366 [Steve Henson]
13367
13368 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
13369 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
13370 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
13371 to regenerate it if needed.
13372 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
13373 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
13374
13375 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
13376 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13377
13378 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
13379 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
13380 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
13381 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
13382 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
13383 [Steve Henson]
13384
13385 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
13386 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13387
13388 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
13389 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13390
13391 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
13392 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
13393 error, but didn't set one).
13394 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13395
13396 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
13397 [Ben Laurie]
13398
13399 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
13400 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
13401 [Steve Henson]
13402
13403 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
13404 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
13405
13406 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
13407 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
13408 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
13409 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
13410 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
13411 OID is not part of the table.
13412 [Steve Henson]
13413
13414 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
13415 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
13416 [Ben Laurie]
13417
13418 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
13419 [Ben Laurie]
13420
13421 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
13422 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
13423 was "1234").
13424 [Steve Henson]
13425
13426 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
13427 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
13428
13429 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
13430 NULL pointers.
13431 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13432
13433 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
13434 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13435
13436 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
13437 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13438
13439 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
13440 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13441
13442 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
13443 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
13444 [Ben Laurie]
13445
13446 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
13447 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
13448 [Steve Henson]
13449
13450 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
13451 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13452
13453 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
13454 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13455
13456 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
13457 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13458
13459 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
13460 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13461
13462 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
13463 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
13464 unused in the certificate verification process.
13465 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13466
13467 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
13468 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
13469 [Steve Henson]
13470
13471 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
13472 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
13473 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
13474
13475 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
13476 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
13477 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
13478 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
13479 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
13480
13481 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
13482 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
13483 [Steve Henson]
13484
13485 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
13486 [Steve Henson]
13487
13488 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
13489 [Paul Sutton]
13490
13491 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
13492 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
13493
13494 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
13495 [Ben Laurie]
13496
13497 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
13498 [Ben Laurie]
13499
13500 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
13501 [Ben Laurie]
13502
13503 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
13504 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
13505 other error libraries.
13506 [Steve Henson]
13507
13508 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
13509 [Steve Henson]
13510
13511 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
13512 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
13513 be read in.
13514 [Steve Henson]
13515
13516 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
13517 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
13518 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
13519 the new set of documentation files.
13520 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13521
13522 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
13523 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
13524 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
13525 number of arguments.
13526 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
13527
13528 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
13529 [Ben Laurie]
13530
13531 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
13532 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
13533 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13534
13535 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
13536 [Ben Laurie]
13537
13538 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
13539 nextstep
13540 ncr-scde
13541 unixware-2.0
13542 unixware-2.0-pentium
13543 sco5-cc.
13544 [Ben Laurie]
13545
13546 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
13547 before they are needed.
13548 [Ben Laurie]
13549
13550 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
13551 [Ben Laurie]
13552
13553
13554 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
13555
13556 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
13557 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
13558 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13559
13560 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
13561 [Paul Sutton]
13562
13563 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
13564 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
13565 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13566
13567 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
13568 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
13569 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
13570
13571 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
13572 when "ssleay" is still not found.
13573 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13574
13575 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
13576 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
13577
13578 *) Updated the README file.
13579 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13580
13581 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
13582 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
13583 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13584
13585 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
13586 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
13587 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13588
13589 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
13590 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
13591 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
13592 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
13593 o removed obsolete TODO file
13594 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
13595 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13596
13597 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
13598 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
13599 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
13600 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
13601 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
13602 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
13603 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13604
13605 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
13606 [Mark J. Cox]
13607
13608 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
13609 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
13610 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
13611 summer 1998.
13612 [The OpenSSL Project]
13613
13614
13615 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
13616
13617 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
13618 [Eric A. Young]
13619
13620 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
13621 [Eric A. Young]
13622
13623 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
13624 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
13625 [Eric A. Young]
13626
13627 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
13628 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
13629 available).
13630 [Eric A. Young]
13631
13632 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
13633 binary structures
13634 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
13635
13636 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
13637 [Eric A. Young]
13638
13639 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
13640 [Eric A. Young]
13641
13642 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
13643 [Eric A. Young]
13644
13645 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
13646 [Eric A. Young]
13647
13648 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
13649 [Eric A. Young]
13650
13651 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
13652 [Eric A. Young]
13653
13654 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
13655 [Eric A. Young]
13656
13657 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
13658 [Eric A. Young]
13659
13660 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
13661 [Eric A. Young]
13662
13663 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
13664 [Eric A. Young]
13665
13666 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
13667 [Eric A. Young]
13668
13669 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
13670 [Eric A. Young]
13671
13672 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
13673 [Eric A. Young]
13674
13675 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
13676 [Eric A. Young]
13677
13678 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
13679 [Eric A. Young]
13680
13681 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
13682 [Eric A. Young]
13683
13684 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
13685 [Eric A. Young]
13686
13687 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
13688 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
13689 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
13690 [Eric A. Young]
13691
13692 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
13693 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
13694 [Eric A. Young]
13695
13696 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
13697 [Eric A. Young]
13698
13699 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
13700 [Eric A. Young]
13701
13702 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
13703 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
13704 [Eric A. Young]
13705
13706 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
13707 [Eric A. Young]
13708
13709 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
13710 [Eric A. Young]
13711
13712 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
13713 bytes sent in the client random.
13714 [Edward Bishop <ebishop@spyglass.com>]
