10 Changes between 1.1.1 and 3.0.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
11
12 *) Enhanced the documentation of EVP_PKEY_size(), EVP_PKEY_bits()
13 and EVP_PKEY_security_bits(). Especially EVP_PKEY_size() needed
14 a new formulation to include all the things it can be used for,
15 as well as words of caution.
16 [Richard Levitte]
17
18 *) All of the low level MD2, MD4, MD5, MDC2, RIPEMD160, SHA1, SHA224, SHA256,
19 SHA384, SHA512 and Whirlpool digest functions have been deprecated.
20 These include:
21 MD2, MD2_options, MD2_Init, MD2_Update, MD2_Final, MD4, MD4_Init,
22 MD4_Update, MD4_Final, MD4_Transform, MD5, MD5_Init, MD5_Update,
23 MD5_Final, MD5_Transform, MDC2, MDC2_Init, MDC2_Update, MDC2_Final,
24 RIPEMD160, RIPEMD160_Init, RIPEMD160_Update, RIPEMD160_Final,
25 RIPEMD160_Transform, SHA1_Init, SHA1_Update, SHA1_Final,
26 SHA1_Transform, SHA224_Init, SHA224_Update, SHA224_Final,
27 SHA224_Transform, SHA256_Init, SHA256_Update, SHA256_Final,
28 SHA256_Transform, SHA384, SHA384_Init, SHA384_Update, SHA384_Final,
29 SHA512, SHA512_Init, SHA512_Update, SHA512_Final, SHA512_Transform,
30 WHIRLPOOL, WHIRLPOOL_Init, WHIRLPOOL_Update, WHIRLPOOL_BitUpdate
31 and WHIRLPOOL_Final.
32 Use of these low level functions has been informally discouraged for a long
33 time. Instead applications should instead use the EVP_DigestInit_ex,
34 EVP_DigestUpdate(3) and EVP_DigestFinal_ex(3) functions.
35 [Paul Dale]
36
37 *) Corrected the documentation of the return values from the EVP_DigestSign*
38 set of functions. The documentation mentioned negative values for some
39 errors, but this was never the case, so the mention of negative values
40 was removed.
41
42 Code that followed the documentation and thereby check with something
43 like 'EVP_DigestSignInit(...) <= 0' will continue to work undisturbed.
44 [Richard Levitte]
45
46 *) All of the low level cipher functions have been deprecated including:
47 AES_options, AES_set_encrypt_key, AES_set_decrypt_key, AES_encrypt,
48 AES_decrypt, AES_ecb_encrypt, AES_cbc_encrypt, AES_cfb128_encrypt,
49 AES_cfb1_encrypt, AES_cfb8_encrypt, AES_ofb128_encrypt,
50 AES_wrap_key, AES_unwrap_key, BF_set_key, BF_encrypt, BF_decrypt,
51 BF_ecb_encrypt, BF_cbc_encrypt, BF_cfb64_encrypt, BF_ofb64_encrypt,
52 BF_options, Camellia_set_key, Camellia_encrypt, Camellia_decrypt,
53 Camellia_ecb_encrypt, Camellia_cbc_encrypt, Camellia_cfb128_encrypt,
54 Camellia_cfb1_encrypt, Camellia_cfb8_encrypt, Camellia_ofb128_encrypt,
55 Camellia_ctr128_encrypt, CAST_set_key, CAST_encrypt, CAST_decrypt,
56 CAST_ecb_encrypt, CAST_cbc_encrypt, CAST_cfb64_encrypt,
57 CAST_ofb64_encrypt, DES_options, DES_encrypt1, DES_encrypt2,
58 DES_encrypt3, DES_decrypt3, DES_cbc_encrypt, DES_ncbc_encrypt,
59 DES_pcbc_encrypt, DES_xcbc_encrypt, DES_cfb_encrypt, DES_cfb64_encrypt,
60 DES_ecb_encrypt, DES_ofb_encrypt, DES_ofb64_encrypt, DES_random_key,
61 DES_set_odd_parity, DES_check_key_parity, DES_is_weak_key, DES_set_key,
62 DES_key_sched, DES_set_key_checked, DES_set_key_unchecked,
63 DES_string_to_key, DES_string_to_2keys, DES_fixup_key_parity,
64 DES_ecb2_encrypt, DES_ede2_cbc_encrypt, DES_ede2_cfb64_encrypt,
65 DES_ede2_ofb64_encrypt, DES_ecb3_encrypt, DES_ede3_cbc_encrypt,
66 DES_ede3_cfb64_encrypt, DES_ede3_cfb_encrypt, DES_ede3_ofb64_encrypt,
67 DES_cbc_cksum, DES_quad_cksum, IDEA_encrypt, IDEA_options,
68 IDEA_ecb_encrypt, IDEA_set_encrypt_key, IDEA_set_decrypt_key,
69 IDEA_cbc_encrypt, IDEA_cfb64_encrypt, IDEA_ofb64_encrypt, RC2_set_key,
70 RC2_encrypt, RC2_decrypt, RC2_ecb_encrypt, RC2_cbc_encrypt,
71 RC2_cfb64_encrypt, RC2_ofb64_encrypt, RC4, RC4_options, RC4_set_key,
72 RC5_32_set_key, RC5_32_encrypt, RC5_32_decrypt, RC5_32_ecb_encrypt,
73 RC5_32_cbc_encrypt, RC5_32_cfb64_encrypt, RC5_32_ofb64_encrypt,
74 SEED_set_key, SEED_encrypt, SEED_decrypt, SEED_ecb_encrypt,
75 SEED_cbc_encrypt, SEED_cfb128_encrypt and SEED_ofb128_encrypt.
76
77 Use of these low level functions has been informally discouraged for a long
78 time. Instead applications should use the high level EVP APIs, e.g.
79 EVP_EncryptInit_ex, EVP_EncryptUpdate, EVP_EncryptFinal_ex, and the
80 equivalently named decrypt functions.
81 [Matt Caswell and Paul Dale]
82
83 *) Removed include/openssl/opensslconf.h.in and replaced it with
84 include/openssl/configuration.h.in, which differs in not including
85 <openssl/macros.h>. A short header include/openssl/opensslconf.h
86 was added to include both.
87
88 This allows internal hacks where one might need to modify the set
89 of configured macros, for example this if deprecated symbols are
90 still supposed to be available internally:
91
92 #include <openssl/configuration.h>
93
94 #undef OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED
95 #define OPENSSL_SUPPRESS_DEPRECATED
96
97 #include <openssl/macros.h>
98
99 This should not be used by applications that use the exported
100 symbols, as that will lead to linking errors.
101 [Richard Levitte]
102
103 *) Fixed an an overflow bug in the x64_64 Montgomery squaring procedure
104 used in exponentiation with 512-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are
105 affected. Analysis suggests that attacks against 2-prime RSA1024,
106 3-prime RSA1536, and DSA1024 as a result of this defect would be very
107 difficult to perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH512
108 are considered just feasible. However, for an attack the target would
109 have to re-use the DH512 private key, which is not recommended anyway.
110 Also applications directly using the low level API BN_mod_exp may be
111 affected if they use BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
112 (CVE-2019-1551)
113 [Andy Polyakov]
114
115 *) Most memory-debug features have been deprecated, and the functionality
116 replaced with no-ops.
117 [Rich Salz]
118
119 *) Introduced a new method type and API, OSSL_SERIALIZER, to
120 represent generic serializers. An implementation is expected to
121 be able to serialize an object associated with a given name (such
122 as an algorithm name for an asymmetric key) into forms given by
123 implementation properties.
124
125 Serializers are primarily used from inside libcrypto, through
126 calls to functions like EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
127 PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() and similar.
128
129 Serializers are specified in such a way that they can be made to
130 directly handle the provider side portion of an object, if this
131 provider side part comes from the same provider as the serializer
132 itself, but can also be made to handle objects in parametrized
133 form (as an OSSL_PARAM array of data). This allows a provider to
134 offer generic serializers as a service for any other provider.
135 [Richard Levitte]
136
137 *) Added a .pragma directive to the syntax of configuration files, to
138 allow varying behavior in a supported and predictable manner.
139 Currently added pragma:
140
141 .pragma dollarid:on
142
143 This allows dollar signs to be a keyword character unless it's
144 followed by a opening brace or parenthesis. This is useful for
145 platforms where dollar signs are commonly used in names, such as
146 volume names and system directory names on VMS.
147 [Richard Levitte]
148
149 *) Added functionality to create an EVP_PKEY from user data. This
150 is effectively the same as creating a RSA, DH or DSA object and
151 then assigning them to an EVP_PKEY, but directly using algorithm
152 agnostic EVP functions. A benefit is that this should be future
153 proof for public key algorithms to come.
154 [Richard Levitte]
155
156 *) Change the interpretation of the '--api' configuration option to
157 mean that this is a desired API compatibility level with no
158 further meaning. The previous interpretation, that this would
159 also mean to remove all deprecated symbols up to and including
160 the given version, no requires that 'no-deprecated' is also used
161 in the configuration.
162
163 When building applications, the desired API compatibility level
164 can be set with the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT macro like before. For
165 API compatibility version below 3.0, the old style numerical
166 value is valid as before, such as -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L.
167 For version 3.0 and on, the value is expected to be the decimal
168 value calculated from the major and minor version like this:
169
170 MAJOR * 10000 + MINOR * 100
171
172 Examples:
173
174 -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=30000 For 3.0
175 -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=30200 For 3.2
176
177 To hide declarations that are deprecated up to and including the
178 given API compatibility level, -DOPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED must be
179 given when building the application as well.
180 [Richard Levitte]
181
182 *) Added the X509_LOOKUP_METHOD called X509_LOOKUP_store, to allow
183 access to certificate and CRL stores via URIs and OSSL_STORE
184 loaders.
185
186 This adds the following functions:
187
188 X509_LOOKUP_store()
189 X509_STORE_load_file()
190 X509_STORE_load_path()
191 X509_STORE_load_store()
192 SSL_add_store_cert_subjects_to_stack()
193 SSL_CTX_set_default_verify_store()
194 SSL_CTX_load_verify_file()
195 SSL_CTX_load_verify_dir()
196 SSL_CTX_load_verify_store()
197
198 Also, the following functions are now deprecated:
199
200 - X509_STORE_load_locations() (use X509_STORE_load_file(),
201 X509_STORE_load_path() or X509_STORE_load_store() instead)
202 - SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations() (use SSL_CTX_load_verify_file(),
203 SSL_CTX_load_verify_dir() or SSL_CTX_load_verify_store() instead)
204 [Richard Levitte]
205
206 *) Added a new method to gather entropy on VMS, based on SYS$GET_ENTROPY.
207 The presence of this system service is determined at run-time.
208 [Richard Levitte]
209
210 *) Added functionality to create an EVP_PKEY context based on data
211 for methods from providers. This takes an algorithm name and a
212 property query string and simply stores them, with the intent
213 that any operation that uses this context will use those strings
214 to fetch the needed methods implicitly, thereby making the port
215 of application written for pre-3.0 OpenSSL easier.
216 [Richard Levitte]
217
218 *) The undocumented function NCONF_WIN32() has been deprecated; for
219 conversion details see the HISTORY section of doc/man5/config.pod
220 [Rich Salz]
221
222 *) Introduced the new functions EVP_DigestSignInit_ex() and
223 EVP_DigestVerifyInit_ex(). The macros EVP_DigestSignUpdate() and
224 EVP_DigestVerifyUpdate() have been converted to functions. See the man
225 pages for further details.
226 [Matt Caswell]
227
228 *) Most common options (such as -rand/-writerand, TLS version control, etc)
229 were refactored and point to newly-enhanced descriptions in openssl.pod
230 [Rich Salz]
231
232 *) Over two thousand fixes were made to the documentation, including:
233 adding missing command flags, better style conformance, documentation
234 of internals, etc.
235 [Rich Salz, Richard Levitte]
236
237 *) s390x assembly pack: add hardware-support for P-256, P-384, P-521,
238 X25519, X448, Ed25519 and Ed448.
239 [Patrick Steuer]
240
241 *) Print all values for a PKCS#12 attribute with 'openssl pkcs12', not just
242 the first value.
243 [Jon Spillett]
244
245 *) Deprecated the public definition of ERR_STATE as well as the function
246 ERR_get_state(). This is done in preparation of making ERR_STATE an
247 opaque type.
248 [Richard Levitte]
249
250 *) Added ERR functionality to give callers access to the stored function
251 names that have replaced the older function code based functions.
252
253 New functions are ERR_get_error_func(), ERR_peek_error_func(),
254 ERR_peek_last_error_func(), ERR_get_error_data(), ERR_peek_error_data(),
255 ERR_peek_last_error_data(), ERR_get_error_all(), ERR_peek_error_all()
256 and ERR_peek_last_error_all().
257
258 These functions have become deprecated: ERR_get_error_line_data(),
259 ERR_peek_error_line_data(), ERR_peek_last_error_line_data() and
260 ERR_func_error_string().
261 [Richard Levitte]
262
263 *) Extended testing to be verbose for failing tests only. The make variables
264 VERBOSE_FAILURE or VF can be used to enable this:
265
266 $ make VF=1 test # Unix
267 $ mms /macro=(VF=1) test ! OpenVMS
268 $ nmake VF=1 test # Windows
269
270 [Richard Levitte]
271
272 *) For built-in EC curves, ensure an EC_GROUP built from the curve name is
273 used even when parsing explicit parameters, when loading a serialized key
274 or calling `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()`/
275 `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters()`.
276 This prevents bypass of security hardening and performance gains,
277 especially for curves with specialized EC_METHODs.
278 By default, if a key encoded with explicit parameters is loaded and later
279 serialized, the output is still encoded with explicit parameters, even if
280 internally a "named" EC_GROUP is used for computation.
281 [Nicola Tuveri]
282
283 *) Compute ECC cofactors if not provided during EC_GROUP construction. Before
284 this change, EC_GROUP_set_generator would accept order and/or cofactor as
285 NULL. After this change, only the cofactor parameter can be NULL. It also
286 does some minimal sanity checks on the passed order.
287 (CVE-2019-1547)
288 [Billy Bob Brumley]
289
290 *) Fixed a padding oracle in PKCS7_dataDecode and CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey.
291 An attack is simple, if the first CMS_recipientInfo is valid but the
292 second CMS_recipientInfo is chosen ciphertext. If the second
293 recipientInfo decodes to PKCS #1 v1.5 form plaintext, the correct
294 encryption key will be replaced by garbage, and the message cannot be
295 decoded, but if the RSA decryption fails, the correct encryption key is
296 used and the recipient will not notice the attack.
297 As a work around for this potential attack the length of the decrypted
298 key must be equal to the cipher default key length, in case the
299 certifiate is not given and all recipientInfo are tried out.
300 The old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
301 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag.
302 [Bernd Edlinger]
303
304 *) Early start up entropy quality from the DEVRANDOM seed source has been
305 improved for older Linux systems. The RAND subsystem will wait for
306 /dev/random to be producing output before seeding from /dev/urandom.
307 The seeded state is stored for future library initialisations using
308 a system global shared memory segment. The shared memory identifier
309 can be configured by defining OPENSSL_RAND_SEED_DEVRANDOM_SHM_ID to
310 the desired value. The default identifier is 114.
311 [Paul Dale]
312
313 *) Revised BN_generate_prime_ex to not avoid factors 2..17863 in p-1
314 when primes for RSA keys are computed.
315 Since we previously always generated primes == 2 (mod 3) for RSA keys,
316 the 2-prime and 3-prime RSA modules were easy to distinguish, since
317 N = p*q = 1 (mod 3), but N = p*q*r = 2 (mod 3). Therefore fingerprinting
318 2-prime vs. 3-prime RSA keys was possible by computing N mod 3.
319 This avoids possible fingerprinting of newly generated RSA modules.
320 [Bernd Edlinger]
321
322 *) Correct the extended master secret constant on EBCDIC systems. Without this
323 fix TLS connections between an EBCDIC system and a non-EBCDIC system that
324 negotiate EMS will fail. Unfortunately this also means that TLS connections
325 between EBCDIC systems with this fix, and EBCDIC systems without this
326 fix will fail if they negotiate EMS.
327 [Matt Caswell]
328
329 *) Changed the library initialisation so that the config file is now loaded
330 by default. This was already the case for libssl. It now occurs for both
331 libcrypto and libssl. Use the OPENSSL_INIT_NO_LOAD_CONFIG option to
332 OPENSSL_init_crypto() to suppress automatic loading of a config file.
333 [Matt Caswell]
334
335 *) Introduced new error raising macros, ERR_raise() and ERR_raise_data(),
336 where the former acts as a replacement for ERR_put_error(), and the
337 latter replaces the combination ERR_put_error()+ERR_add_error_data().
338 ERR_raise_data() adds more flexibility by taking a format string and
339 an arbitrary number of arguments following it, to be processed with
340 BIO_snprintf().
341 [Richard Levitte]
342
343 *) Introduced a new function, OSSL_PROVIDER_available(), which can be used
344 to check if a named provider is loaded and available. When called, it
345 will also activate all fallback providers if such are still present.
346 [Richard Levitte]
347
348 *) Enforce a minimum DH modulus size of 512 bits.
349 [Bernd Edlinger]
350
351 *) Changed DH parameters to generate the order q subgroup instead of 2q.
352 Previously generated DH parameters are still accepted by DH_check
353 but DH_generate_key works around that by clearing bit 0 of the
354 private key for those. This avoids leaking bit 0 of the private key.
355 [Bernd Edlinger]
356
357 *) Significantly reduce secure memory usage by the randomness pools.
358 [Paul Dale]
359
360 *) {CRYPTO,OPENSSL}_mem_debug_{push,pop} are now no-ops and have been
361 deprecated.
362 [Rich Salz]
363
364 *) A new type, EVP_KEYEXCH, has been introduced to represent key exchange
365 algorithms. An implementation of a key exchange algorithm can be obtained
366 by using the function EVP_KEYEXCH_fetch(). An EVP_KEYEXCH algorithm can be
367 used in a call to EVP_PKEY_derive_init_ex() which works in a similar way to
368 the older EVP_PKEY_derive_init() function. See the man pages for the new
369 functions for further details.
370 [Matt Caswell]
371
372 *) The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_dh_pad() macro has now been converted to a function.
373 [Matt Caswell]
374
375 *) Removed the function names from error messages and deprecated the
376 xxx_F_xxx define's.
377
378 *) Removed NextStep support and the macro OPENSSL_UNISTD
379 [Rich Salz]
380
381 *) Removed DES_check_key. Also removed OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL,
382 OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF, OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL.
383 Also removed "export var as function" capability; we do not export
384 variables, only functions.
385 [Rich Salz]
386
387 *) RC5_32_set_key has been changed to return an int type, with 0 indicating
388 an error and 1 indicating success. In previous versions of OpenSSL this
389 was a void type. If a key was set longer than the maximum possible this
390 would crash.
391 [Matt Caswell]
392
393 *) Support SM2 signing and verification schemes with X509 certificate.
394 [Paul Yang]
395
396 *) Use SHA256 as the default digest for TS query in the ts app.
397 [Tomas Mraz]
398
399 *) Change PBKDF2 to conform to SP800-132 instead of the older PKCS5 RFC2898.
400 This checks that the salt length is at least 128 bits, the derived key
401 length is at least 112 bits, and that the iteration count is at least 1000.
402 For backwards compatibility these checks are disabled by default in the
403 default provider, but are enabled by default in the fips provider.
404 To enable or disable these checks use the control
405 EVP_KDF_CTRL_SET_PBKDF2_PKCS5_MODE.
406 [Shane Lontis]
407
408 *) Default cipher lists/suites are now available via a function, the
409 #defines are deprecated.
410 [Todd Short]
411
412 *) Add target VC-WIN32-UWP, VC-WIN64A-UWP, VC-WIN32-ARM-UWP and
413 VC-WIN64-ARM-UWP in Windows OneCore target for making building libraries
414 for Windows Store apps easier. Also, the "no-uplink" option has been added.
415 [Kenji Mouri]
416
417 *) Join the directories crypto/x509 and crypto/x509v3
418 [Richard Levitte]
419
420 *) Change the default RSA, DSA and DH size to 2048 bit instead of 1024.
421 This changes the size when using the genpkey app when no size is given. It
422 fixes an omission in earlier changes that changed all RSA, DSA and DH
423 generation apps to use 2048 bits by default.
424 [Kurt Roeckx]
425
426 *) Added command 'openssl kdf' that uses the EVP_KDF API.
427 [Shane Lontis]
428
429 *) Added command 'openssl mac' that uses the EVP_MAC API.
430 [Shane Lontis]
431
432 *) Added OPENSSL_info() to get diverse built-in OpenSSL data, such
433 as default directories. Also added the command 'openssl info'
434 for scripting purposes.
435 [Richard Levitte]
436
437 *) The functions AES_ige_encrypt() and AES_bi_ige_encrypt() have been
438 deprecated. These undocumented functions were never integrated into the EVP
439 layer and implement the AES Infinite Garble Extension (IGE) mode and AES
440 Bi-directional IGE mode. These modes were never formally standardised and
441 usage of these functions is believed to be very small. In particular
442 AES_bi_ige_encrypt() has a known bug. It accepts 2 AES keys, but only one
443 is ever used. The security implications are believed to be minimal, but
444 this issue was never fixed for backwards compatibility reasons. New code
445 should not use these modes.
446 [Matt Caswell]
447
448 *) Add prediction resistance to the DRBG reseeding process.
449 [Paul Dale]
450
451 *) Limit the number of blocks in a data unit for AES-XTS to 2^20 as
452 mandated by IEEE Std 1619-2018.
453 [Paul Dale]
454
455 *) Added newline escaping functionality to a filename when using openssl dgst.
456 This output format is to replicate the output format found in the '*sum'
457 checksum programs. This aims to preserve backward compatibility.
458 [Matt Eaton, Richard Levitte, and Paul Dale]
459
460 *) Removed the heartbeat message in DTLS feature, as it has very
461 little usage and doesn't seem to fulfill a valuable purpose.
462 The configuration option is now deprecated.
463 [Richard Levitte]
464
465 *) Changed the output of 'openssl {digestname} < file' to display the
466 digest name in its output.
467 [Richard Levitte]
468
469 *) Added a new generic trace API which provides support for enabling
470 instrumentation through trace output. This feature is mainly intended
471 as an aid for developers and is disabled by default. To utilize it,
472 OpenSSL needs to be configured with the `enable-trace` option.
473
474 If the tracing API is enabled, the application can activate trace output
475 by registering BIOs as trace channels for a number of tracing and debugging
476 categories.
477
478 The 'openssl' application has been expanded to enable any of the types
479 available via environment variables defined by the user, and serves as
480 one possible example on how to use this functionality.
481 [Richard Levitte & Matthias St. Pierre]
482
483 *) Added build tests for C++. These are generated files that only do one
484 thing, to include one public OpenSSL head file each. This tests that
485 the public header files can be usefully included in a C++ application.
486
487 This test isn't enabled by default. It can be enabled with the option
488 'enable-buildtest-c++'.
489 [Richard Levitte]
490
491 *) Add Single Step KDF (EVP_KDF_SS) to EVP_KDF.
492 [Shane Lontis]
493
494 *) Add KMAC to EVP_MAC.
495 [Shane Lontis]
496
497 *) Added property based algorithm implementation selection framework to
498 the core.
499 [Paul Dale]
500
501 *) Added SCA hardening for modular field inversion in EC_GROUP through
502 a new dedicated field_inv() pointer in EC_METHOD.
503 This also addresses a leakage affecting conversions from projective
504 to affine coordinates.
505 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
506
507 *) Added EVP_KDF, an EVP layer KDF API, to simplify adding KDF and PRF
508 implementations. This includes an EVP_PKEY to EVP_KDF bridge for
509 those algorithms that were already supported through the EVP_PKEY API
510 (scrypt, TLS1 PRF and HKDF). The low-level KDF functions for PBKDF2
511 and scrypt are now wrappers that call EVP_KDF.
512 [David Makepeace]
513
514 *) Build devcrypto engine as a dynamic engine.
515 [Eneas U de Queiroz]
516
517 *) Add keyed BLAKE2 to EVP_MAC.
518 [Antoine Salon]
519
520 *) Fix a bug in the computation of the endpoint-pair shared secret used
521 by DTLS over SCTP. This breaks interoperability with older versions
522 of OpenSSL like OpenSSL 1.1.0 and OpenSSL 1.0.2. There is a runtime
523 switch SSL_MODE_DTLS_SCTP_LABEL_LENGTH_BUG (off by default) enabling
524 interoperability with such broken implementations. However, enabling
525 this switch breaks interoperability with correct implementations.
526
527 *) Fix a use after free bug in d2i_X509_PUBKEY when overwriting a
528 re-used X509_PUBKEY object if the second PUBKEY is malformed.
529 [Bernd Edlinger]
530
531 *) Move strictness check from EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() to EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0().
532 [Richard Levitte]
533
534 *) Change the license to the Apache License v2.0.
535 [Richard Levitte]
536
537 *) Switch to a new version scheme using three numbers MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.
538
539 o Major releases (indicated by incrementing the MAJOR release number)
540 may introduce incompatible API/ABI changes.
541 o Minor releases (indicated by incrementing the MINOR release number)
542 may introduce new features but retain API/ABI compatibility.
543 o Patch releases (indicated by incrementing the PATCH number)
544 are intended for bug fixes and other improvements of existing
545 features only (like improving performance or adding documentation)
546 and retain API/ABI compatibility.
547 [Richard Levitte]
548
549 *) Add support for RFC5297 SIV mode (siv128), including AES-SIV.
550 [Todd Short]
551
552 *) Remove the 'dist' target and add a tarball building script. The
553 'dist' target has fallen out of use, and it shouldn't be
554 necessary to configure just to create a source distribution.
555 [Richard Levitte]
556
557 *) Recreate the OS390-Unix config target. It no longer relies on a
558 special script like it did for OpenSSL pre-1.1.0.
559 [Richard Levitte]
560
561 *) Instead of having the source directories listed in Configure, add
562 a 'build.info' keyword SUBDIRS to indicate what sub-directories to
563 look into.
564 [Richard Levitte]
565
566 *) Add GMAC to EVP_MAC.
567 [Paul Dale]
568
569 *) Ported the HMAC, CMAC and SipHash EVP_PKEY_METHODs to EVP_MAC.
570 [Richard Levitte]
571
572 *) Added EVP_MAC, an EVP layer MAC API, to simplify adding MAC
573 implementations. This includes a generic EVP_PKEY to EVP_MAC bridge,
574 to facilitate the continued use of MACs through raw private keys in
575 functionality such as EVP_DigestSign* and EVP_DigestVerify*.
576 [Richard Levitte]
577
578 *) Deprecate ECDH_KDF_X9_62() and mark its replacement as internal. Users
579 should use the EVP interface instead (EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_ecdh_kdf_type).
580 [Antoine Salon]
581
582 *) Added EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_63 and ecdh_KDF_X9_63() as replacements for
583 the EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_62 KDF type and ECDH_KDF_X9_62(). The old names
584 are retained for backwards compatibility.
585 [Antoine Salon]
586
587 *) AES-XTS mode now enforces that its two keys are different to mitigate
588 the attacked described in "Efficient Instantiations of Tweakable
589 Blockciphers and Refinements to Modes OCB and PMAC" by Phillip Rogaway.
590 Details of this attack can be obtained from:
591 http://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/%7Erogaway/papers/offsets.pdf
592 [Paul Dale]
593
594 *) Rename the object files, i.e. give them other names than in previous
595 versions. Their names now include the name of the final product, as
596 well as its type mnemonic (bin, lib, shlib).
597 [Richard Levitte]
598
599 *) Added new option for 'openssl list', '-objects', which will display the
600 list of built in objects, i.e. OIDs with names.
601 [Richard Levitte]
602
603 *) Added support for Linux Kernel TLS data-path. The Linux Kernel data-path
604 improves application performance by removing data copies and providing
605 applications with zero-copy system calls such as sendfile and splice.
606 [Boris Pismenny]
607
608 Changes between 1.1.1a and 1.1.1b [xx XXX xxxx]
609
610 *) Change the info callback signals for the start and end of a post-handshake
611 message exchange in TLSv1.3. In 1.1.1/1.1.1a we used SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_START
612 and SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_DONE. Experience has shown that many applications get
613 confused by this and assume that a TLSv1.2 renegotiation has started. This
614 can break KeyUpdate handling. Instead we no longer signal the start and end
615 of a post handshake message exchange (although the messages themselves are
616 still signalled). This could break some applications that were expecting
617 the old signals. However without this KeyUpdate is not usable for many
618 applications.
619 [Matt Caswell]
620
621 Changes between 1.1.1 and 1.1.1a [20 Nov 2018]
622
623 *) Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation
624
625 The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
626 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
627 algorithm to recover the private key.
628
629 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
630 (CVE-2018-0734)
631 [Paul Dale]
632
633 *) Timing vulnerability in ECDSA signature generation
634
635 The OpenSSL ECDSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
636 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
637 algorithm to recover the private key.
638
639 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 25th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
640 (CVE-2018-0735)
641 [Paul Dale]
642
643 *) Fixed the issue that RAND_add()/RAND_seed() silently discards random input
644 if its length exceeds 4096 bytes. The limit has been raised to a buffer size
645 of two gigabytes and the error handling improved.
646
647 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Dr. Falko Strenzke. It has been
648 categorized as a normal bug, not a security issue, because the DRBG reseeds
649 automatically and is fully functional even without additional randomness
650 provided by the application.
651
652 Changes between 1.1.0i and 1.1.1 [11 Sep 2018]
653
654 *) Add a new ClientHello callback. Provides a callback interface that gives
655 the application the ability to adjust the nascent SSL object at the
656 earliest stage of ClientHello processing, immediately after extensions have
657 been collected but before they have been processed. In particular, this
658 callback can adjust the supported TLS versions in response to the contents
659 of the ClientHello
660 [Benjamin Kaduk]
661
662 *) Add SM2 base algorithm support.
663 [Jack Lloyd]
664
665 *) s390x assembly pack: add (improved) hardware-support for the following
666 cryptographic primitives: sha3, shake, aes-gcm, aes-ccm, aes-ctr, aes-ofb,
667 aes-cfb/cfb8, aes-ecb.
668 [Patrick Steuer]
669
670 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
671 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
672 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
673 [Richard Levitte]
674
675 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
676 step for prime curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
677 differential addition-and-doubling in homogeneous projective coordinates
678 from Izu-Takagi "A fast parallel elliptic curve multiplication resistant
679 against side channel attacks" and Brier-Joye "Weierstrass Elliptic Curves
680 and Side-Channel Attacks" Eq. (8) for y-coordinate recovery, modified
681 to work in projective coordinates.
682 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
683
684 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
685 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
686 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
687 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
688 to 2^-128.
689 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
690
691 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
692 [Kurt Roeckx]
693
694 *) The 'tsget' script is renamed to 'tsget.pl', to avoid confusion when
695 moving between systems, and to avoid confusion when a Windows build is
696 done with mingw vs with MSVC. For POSIX installs, there's still a
697 symlink or copy named 'tsget' to avoid that confusion as well.
698 [Richard Levitte]
699
700 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
701 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
702 [Andy Polyakov]
703
704 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
705 step for binary curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
706 differential addition-and-doubling in mixed Lopez-Dahab projective
707 coordinates, modified to independently blind the operands.
708 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
709
710 *) Add a scaffold to optionally enhance the Montgomery ladder implementation
711 for `ec_scalar_mul_ladder` (formerly `ec_mul_consttime`) allowing
712 EC_METHODs to implement their own specialized "ladder step", to take
713 advantage of more favorable coordinate systems or more efficient
714 differential addition-and-doubling algorithms.
715 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
716
717 *) Modified the random device based seed sources to keep the relevant
718 file descriptors open rather than reopening them on each access.
719 This allows such sources to operate in a chroot() jail without
720 the associated device nodes being available. This behaviour can be
721 controlled using RAND_keep_random_devices_open().
722 [Paul Dale]
723
724 *) Numerous side-channel attack mitigations have been applied. This may have
725 performance impacts for some algorithms for the benefit of improved
726 security. Specific changes are noted in this change log by their respective
727 authors.
728 [Matt Caswell]
729
730 *) AIX shared library support overhaul. Switch to AIX "natural" way of
731 handling shared libraries, which means collecting shared objects of
732 different versions and bitnesses in one common archive. This allows to
733 mitigate conflict between 1.0 and 1.1 side-by-side installations. It
734 doesn't affect the way 3rd party applications are linked, only how
735 multi-version installation is managed.
736 [Andy Polyakov]
737
738 *) Make ec_group_do_inverse_ord() more robust and available to other
739 EC cryptosystems, so that irrespective of BN_FLG_CONSTTIME, SCA
740 mitigations are applied to the fallback BN_mod_inverse().
741 When using this function rather than BN_mod_inverse() directly, new
742 EC cryptosystem implementations are then safer-by-default.
743 [Billy Bob Brumley]
744
745 *) Add coordinate blinding for EC_POINT and implement projective
746 coordinate blinding for generic prime curves as a countermeasure to
747 chosen point SCA attacks.
748 [Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri, Billy Bob Brumley]
749
750 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
751 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
752 [Matt Caswell]
753
754 *) Enforce checking in the pkeyutl command line app to ensure that the input
755 length does not exceed the maximum supported digest length when performing
756 a sign, verify or verifyrecover operation.
757 [Matt Caswell]
758
759 *) SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY is enabled by default. Applications that use blocking
760 I/O in combination with something like select() or poll() will hang. This
761 can be turned off again using SSL_CTX_clear_mode().
762 Many applications do not properly handle non-application data records, and
763 TLS 1.3 sends more of such records. Setting SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY works
764 around the problems in those applications, but can also break some.
765 It's recommended to read the manpages about SSL_read(), SSL_write(),
766 SSL_get_error(), SSL_shutdown(), SSL_CTX_set_mode() and
767 SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead() again.
768 [Kurt Roeckx]
769
770 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
771 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
772 [Richard Levitte]
773
774 *) Apply blinding to binary field modular inversion and remove patent
775 pending (OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV) BN_GF2m_mod_div implementation.
776 [Billy Bob Brumley]
777
778 *) Deprecate ec2_mult.c and unify scalar multiplication code paths for
779 binary and prime elliptic curves.
780 [Billy Bob Brumley]
781
782 *) Remove ECDSA nonce padding: EC_POINT_mul is now responsible for
783 constant time fixed point multiplication.
784 [Billy Bob Brumley]
785
786 *) Revise elliptic curve scalar multiplication with timing attack
787 defenses: ec_wNAF_mul redirects to a constant time implementation
788 when computing fixed point and variable point multiplication (which
789 in OpenSSL are mostly used with secret scalars in keygen, sign,
790 ECDH derive operations).
791 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri, Cesar Pereida García,
792 Sohaib ul Hassan]
793
794 *) Updated CONTRIBUTING
795 [Rich Salz]
796
797 *) Updated DRBG / RAND to request nonce and additional low entropy
798 randomness from the system.
799 [Matthias St. Pierre]
800
801 *) Updated 'openssl rehash' to use OpenSSL consistent default.
802 [Richard Levitte]
803
804 *) Moved the load of the ssl_conf module to libcrypto, which helps
805 loading engines that libssl uses before libssl is initialised.
806 [Matt Caswell]
807
808 *) Added EVP_PKEY_sign() and EVP_PKEY_verify() for EdDSA
809 [Matt Caswell]
810
811 *) Fixed X509_NAME_ENTRY_set to get multi-valued RDNs right in all cases.
812 [Ingo Schwarze, Rich Salz]
813
814 *) Added output of accepting IP address and port for 'openssl s_server'
815 [Richard Levitte]
816
817 *) Added a new API for TLSv1.3 ciphersuites:
818 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites()
819 SSL_set_ciphersuites()
820 [Matt Caswell]
821
822 *) Memory allocation failures consistently add an error to the error
823 stack.
824 [Rich Salz]
825
826 *) Don't use OPENSSL_ENGINES and OPENSSL_CONF environment values
827 in libcrypto when run as setuid/setgid.
828 [Bernd Edlinger]
829
830 *) Load any config file by default when libssl is used.
831 [Matt Caswell]
832
833 *) Added new public header file <openssl/rand_drbg.h> and documentation
834 for the RAND_DRBG API. See manual page RAND_DRBG(7) for an overview.
835 [Matthias St. Pierre]
836
837 *) QNX support removed (cannot find contributors to get their approval
838 for the license change).
839 [Rich Salz]
840
841 *) TLSv1.3 replay protection for early data has been implemented. See the
842 SSL_read_early_data() man page for further details.
843 [Matt Caswell]
844
845 *) Separated TLSv1.3 ciphersuite configuration out from TLSv1.2 ciphersuite
846 configuration. TLSv1.3 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.2 and
847 below. Similarly TLSv1.2 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.3.
848 In order to avoid issues where legacy TLSv1.2 ciphersuite configuration
849 would otherwise inadvertently disable all TLSv1.3 ciphersuites the
850 configuration has been separated out. See the ciphers man page or the
851 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites() man page for more information.
852 [Matt Caswell]
853
854 *) On POSIX (BSD, Linux, ...) systems the ocsp(1) command running
855 in responder mode now supports the new "-multi" option, which
856 spawns the specified number of child processes to handle OCSP
857 requests. The "-timeout" option now also limits the OCSP
858 responder's patience to wait to receive the full client request
859 on a newly accepted connection. Child processes are respawned
860 as needed, and the CA index file is automatically reloaded
861 when changed. This makes it possible to run the "ocsp" responder
862 as a long-running service, making the OpenSSL CA somewhat more
863 feature-complete. In this mode, most diagnostic messages logged
864 after entering the event loop are logged via syslog(3) rather than
865 written to stderr.
866 [Viktor Dukhovni]
867
868 *) Added support for X448 and Ed448. Heavily based on original work by
869 Mike Hamburg.
870 [Matt Caswell]
871
872 *) Extend OSSL_STORE with capabilities to search and to narrow the set of
873 objects loaded. This adds the functions OSSL_STORE_expect() and
874 OSSL_STORE_find() as well as needed tools to construct searches and
875 get the search data out of them.
876 [Richard Levitte]
877
878 *) Support for TLSv1.3 added. Note that users upgrading from an earlier
879 version of OpenSSL should review their configuration settings to ensure
880 that they are still appropriate for TLSv1.3. For further information see:
881 https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/TLS1.3
882 [Matt Caswell]
883
884 *) Grand redesign of the OpenSSL random generator
885
886 The default RAND method now utilizes an AES-CTR DRBG according to
887 NIST standard SP 800-90Ar1. The new random generator is essentially
888 a port of the default random generator from the OpenSSL FIPS 2.0
889 object module. It is a hybrid deterministic random bit generator
890 using an AES-CTR bit stream and which seeds and reseeds itself
891 automatically using trusted system entropy sources.
892
893 Some of its new features are:
894 o Support for multiple DRBG instances with seed chaining.
895 o The default RAND method makes use of a DRBG.
896 o There is a public and private DRBG instance.
897 o The DRBG instances are fork-safe.
898 o Keep all global DRBG instances on the secure heap if it is enabled.
899 o The public and private DRBG instance are per thread for lock free
900 operation
901 [Paul Dale, Benjamin Kaduk, Kurt Roeckx, Rich Salz, Matthias St. Pierre]
902
903 *) Changed Configure so it only says what it does and doesn't dump
904 so much data. Instead, ./configdata.pm should be used as a script
905 to display all sorts of configuration data.
906 [Richard Levitte]
907
908 *) Added processing of "make variables" to Configure.
909 [Richard Levitte]
910
911 *) Added SHA512/224 and SHA512/256 algorithm support.
912 [Paul Dale]
913
914 *) The last traces of Netware support, first removed in 1.1.0, have
915 now been removed.
916 [Rich Salz]
917
918 *) Get rid of Makefile.shared, and in the process, make the processing
919 of certain files (rc.obj, or the .def/.map/.opt files produced from
920 the ordinal files) more visible and hopefully easier to trace and
921 debug (or make silent).
922 [Richard Levitte]
923
924 *) Make it possible to have environment variable assignments as
925 arguments to config / Configure.
926 [Richard Levitte]
927
928 *) Add multi-prime RSA (RFC 8017) support.
929 [Paul Yang]
930
931 *) Add SM3 implemented according to GB/T 32905-2016
932 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
933 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
934 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
935
936 *) Add 'Maximum Fragment Length' TLS extension negotiation and support
937 as documented in RFC6066.
938 Based on a patch from Tomasz Moń
939 [Filipe Raimundo da Silva]
940
941 *) Add SM4 implemented according to GB/T 32907-2016.
942 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
943 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
944 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
945
946 *) Reimplement -newreq-nodes and ERR_error_string_n; the
947 original author does not agree with the license change.
948 [Rich Salz]
949
950 *) Add ARIA AEAD TLS support.
951 [Jon Spillett]
952
953 *) Some macro definitions to support VS6 have been removed. Visual
954 Studio 6 has not worked since 1.1.0
955 [Rich Salz]
956
957 *) Add ERR_clear_last_mark(), to allow callers to clear the last mark
958 without clearing the errors.
959 [Richard Levitte]
960
961 *) Add "atfork" functions. If building on a system that without
962 pthreads, see doc/man3/OPENSSL_fork_prepare.pod for application
963 requirements. The RAND facility now uses/requires this.
964 [Rich Salz]
965
966 *) Add SHA3.
967 [Andy Polyakov]
968
969 *) The UI API becomes a permanent and integral part of libcrypto, i.e.
970 not possible to disable entirely. However, it's still possible to
971 disable the console reading UI method, UI_OpenSSL() (use UI_null()
972 as a fallback).
973
974 To disable, configure with 'no-ui-console'. 'no-ui' is still
975 possible to use as an alias. Check at compile time with the
976 macro OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE. The macro OPENSSL_NO_UI is still
977 possible to check and is an alias for OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE.
978 [Richard Levitte]
979
980 *) Add a STORE module, which implements a uniform and URI based reader of
981 stores that can contain keys, certificates, CRLs and numerous other
982 objects. The main API is loosely based on a few stdio functions,
983 and includes OSSL_STORE_open, OSSL_STORE_load, OSSL_STORE_eof,
984 OSSL_STORE_error and OSSL_STORE_close.
985 The implementation uses backends called "loaders" to implement arbitrary
986 URI schemes. There is one built in "loader" for the 'file' scheme.
987 [Richard Levitte]
988
989 *) Add devcrypto engine. This has been implemented against cryptodev-linux,
990 then adjusted to work on FreeBSD 8.4 as well.
991 Enable by configuring with 'enable-devcryptoeng'. This is done by default
992 on BSD implementations, as cryptodev.h is assumed to exist on all of them.
993 [Richard Levitte]
994
995 *) Module names can prefixed with OSSL_ or OPENSSL_. This affects
996 util/mkerr.pl, which is adapted to allow those prefixes, leading to
997 error code calls like this:
998
999 OSSL_FOOerr(OSSL_FOO_F_SOMETHING, OSSL_FOO_R_WHATEVER);
1000
1001 With this change, we claim the namespaces OSSL and OPENSSL in a manner
1002 that can be encoded in C. For the foreseeable future, this will only
1003 affect new modules.
1004 [Richard Levitte and Tim Hudson]
1005
1006 *) Removed BSD cryptodev engine.
1007 [Rich Salz]
1008
1009 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
1010 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
1011 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
1012 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
1013 [Richard Levitte]
1014
1015 *) In the UI interface, make it possible to duplicate the user data. This
1016 can be used by engines that need to retain the data for a longer time
1017 than just the call where this user data is passed.
1018 [Richard Levitte]
1019
1020 *) Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of applications
1021 with OpenSSL 1.0.2.
1022 [Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org>]
1023
1024 *) Fragmented SSL/TLS alerts are no longer accepted. An alert message is 2
1025 bytes long. In theory it is permissible in SSLv3 - TLSv1.2 to fragment such
1026 alerts across multiple records (some of which could be empty). In practice
1027 it make no sense to send an empty alert record, or to fragment one. TLSv1.3
1028 prohibts this altogether and other libraries (BoringSSL, NSS) do not
1029 support this at all. Supporting it adds significant complexity to the
1030 record layer, and its removal is unlikely to cause inter-operability
1031 issues.
1032 [Matt Caswell]
1033
1034 *) Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
1035 with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
1036 The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
1037 in OpenSSL 1.2.0.
1038 [Richard Levitte]
1039
1040 *) Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
1041 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
1042 [Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov]
1043
1044 *) Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
1045 does for RSA, etc.
1046 [Richard Levitte]
1047
1048 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
1049 platform rather than 'mingw'.
1050 [Richard Levitte]
1051
1052 *) The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
1053 success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
1054 in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
1055 certificates and CRLs.
1056 [Paul Dale]
1057
1058 *) x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
1059 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
1060 [Andy Polyakov]
1061
1062 *) Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
1063 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
1064 [Richard Levitte]
1065
1066 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
1067 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
1068 which is the minimum version we support.
1069 [Richard Levitte]
1070
1071 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
1072 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
1073 are no longer allowed.
1074 [Emilia Käsper]
1075
1076 *) Add support for ARIA
1077 [Paul Dale]
1078
1079 *) s_client will now send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension by
1080 default unless the new "-noservername" option is used. The server name is
1081 based on the host provided to the "-connect" option unless overridden by
1082 using "-servername".
1083 [Matt Caswell]
1084
1085 *) Add support for SipHash
1086 [Todd Short]
1087
1088 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
1089 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
1090 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
1091 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
1092 [Matt Caswell]
1093
1094 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
1095 using the algorithm defined in
1096 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
1097 [Richard Levitte]
1098
1099 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
1100 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
1101
1102 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
1103 [Emilia Käsper]
1104
1105 *) The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid patent
1106 issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.
1107 [Rich Salz]
1108
1109
1110 Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.0i [xx XXX xxxx]
1111
1112 *) Client DoS due to large DH parameter
1113
1114 During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DH(E) based ciphersuite a
1115 malicious server can send a very large prime value to the client. This will
1116 cause the client to spend an unreasonably long period of time generating a
1117 key for this prime resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This
1118 could be exploited in a Denial Of Service attack.
1119
1120 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 5th June 2018 by Guido Vranken
1121 (CVE-2018-0732)
1122 [Guido Vranken]
1123
1124 *) Cache timing vulnerability in RSA Key Generation
1125
1126 The OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to
1127 a cache timing side channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to
1128 mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could
1129 recover the private key.
1130
1131 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th April 2018 by Alejandro Cabrera
1132 Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Cesar Pereida Garcia and Luis Manuel Alvarez Tapia.
1133 (CVE-2018-0737)
1134 [Billy Brumley]
1135
1136 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
1137 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
1138 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
1139 [Richard Levitte]
1140
1141 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
1142 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
1143 [Andy Polyakov]
1144
1145 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
1146 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
1147 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
1148 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
1149 to 2^-128.
1150 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
1151
1152 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
1153 [Kurt Roeckx]
1154
1155 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
1156 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
1157 [Matt Caswell]
1158
1159 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
1160 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
1161 [Richard Levitte]
1162
1163 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
1164 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
1165 are no longer allowed.
1166 [Emilia Käsper]
1167
1168 *) Fixed a text canonicalisation bug in CMS
1169
1170 Where a CMS detached signature is used with text content the text goes
1171 through a canonicalisation process first prior to signing or verifying a
1172 signature. This process strips trailing space at the end of lines, converts
1173 line terminators to CRLF and removes additional trailing line terminators
1174 at the end of a file. A bug in the canonicalisation process meant that
1175 some characters, such as form-feed, were incorrectly treated as whitespace
1176 and removed. This is contrary to the specification (RFC5485). This fix
1177 could mean that detached text data signed with an earlier version of
1178 OpenSSL 1.1.0 may fail to verify using the fixed version, or text data
1179 signed with a fixed OpenSSL may fail to verify with an earlier version of
1180 OpenSSL 1.1.0. A workaround is to only verify the canonicalised text data
1181 and use the "-binary" flag (for the "cms" command line application) or set
1182 the SMIME_BINARY/PKCS7_BINARY/CMS_BINARY flags (if using CMS_verify()).
1183 [Matt Caswell]
1184
1185 Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.0h [27 Mar 2018]
1186
1187 *) Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
1188
1189 Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
1190 in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
1191 excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
1192 are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
1193 so this is considered safe.
1194
1195 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
1196 project.
1197 (CVE-2018-0739)
1198 [Matt Caswell]
1199
1200 *) Incorrect CRYPTO_memcmp on HP-UX PA-RISC
1201
1202 Because of an implementation bug the PA-RISC CRYPTO_memcmp function is
1203 effectively reduced to only comparing the least significant bit of each
1204 byte. This allows an attacker to forge messages that would be considered as
1205 authenticated in an amount of tries lower than that guaranteed by the
1206 security claims of the scheme. The module can only be compiled by the
1207 HP-UX assembler, so that only HP-UX PA-RISC targets are affected.
1208
1209 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 2nd March 2018 by Peter Waltenberg
1210 (IBM).
1211 (CVE-2018-0733)
1212 [Andy Polyakov]
1213
1214 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
1215 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
1216 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
1217 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
1218 [Richard Levitte]
1219
1220 *) Backport SSL_OP_NO_RENGOTIATION
1221
1222 OpenSSL 1.0.2 and below had the ability to disable renegotiation using the
1223 (undocumented) SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS flag. Due to the opacity
1224 changes this is no longer possible in 1.1.0. Therefore the new
1225 SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION option from 1.1.1-dev has been backported to
1226 1.1.0 to provide equivalent functionality.
1227
1228 Note that if an application built against 1.1.0h headers (or above) is run
1229 using an older version of 1.1.0 (prior to 1.1.0h) then the option will be
1230 accepted but nothing will happen, i.e. renegotiation will not be prevented.
1231 [Matt Caswell]
1232
1233 *) Removed the OS390-Unix config target. It relied on a script that doesn't
1234 exist.
1235 [Rich Salz]
1236
1237 *) rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
1238
1239 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
1240 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
1241 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
1242 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
1243 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
1244 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
1245 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
1246 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
1247 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
1248 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
1249
1250 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
1251 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
1252
1253 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
1254 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
1255 (CVE-2017-3738)

1257
1258 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
1259
1260 *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
1261
1262 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1263 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1264 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1265 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1266 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1267 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1268 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1269 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1270 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1271 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1272 key that is shared between multiple clients.
1273
1274 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
1275 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
1276
1277 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
1278 (CVE-2017-3736)
1279 [Andy Polyakov]
1280
1281 *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
1282
1283 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
1284 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
1285 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
1286
1287 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
1288 (CVE-2017-3735)

1293 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
1294 platform rather than 'mingw'.
1295 [Richard Levitte]
1296
1297 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
1298 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
1299 which is the minimum version we support.

1302 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
1303
1304 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
1305
1306 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
1307 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
1308 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
1309 and servers are affected.

1315 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
1316
1317 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
1318
1319 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
1320 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
1321 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
1322
1323 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
1324 (CVE-2017-3731)
1325 [Andy Polyakov]
1326
1327 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
1328
1329 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
1330 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
1331 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
1332 of Service attack.
1333
1334 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
1335 (CVE-2017-3730)
1336 [Matt Caswell]
1337
1338 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1339
1340 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1341 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1342 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1343 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1344 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1345 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1346 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1347 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1348 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1349 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1350 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1351 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
1352 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
1353
1354 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.

1359
1360 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
1361
1362 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
1363 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
1364 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
1365
1366 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
1367 (CVE-2016-7054)
1368 [Richard Levitte]
1369
1370 *) CMS Null dereference
1371
1372 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
1373 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
1374 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
1375 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
1376 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
1377 affected.
1378
1379 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
1380 (CVE-2016-7053)
1381 [Stephen Henson]
1382
1383 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
1384
1385 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
1386 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
1387 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
1388 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
1389 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
1390 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
1391 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
1392 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
1393 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
1394 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
1395 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
1396 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
1397 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
1398 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
1399
1400 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
1401 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
1402 providing reproducible case.
1403 (CVE-2016-7055)
1404 [Andy Polyakov]
1405
1406 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
1407 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.

1409
1410 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
1411
1412 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
1413
1414 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
1415 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
1416 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
1417 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
1418 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
1419 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
1420
1421 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.

1428
1429 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
1430
1431 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
1432 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
1433 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
1434 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
1435 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
1436 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
1437 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.

1441 [Matt Caswell]
1442
1443 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
1444
1445 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
1446 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
1447 Denial Of Service attack.
1448
1449 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
1450 (CVE-2016-6305)
1451 [Matt Caswell]
1452
1453 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
1454 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
1455
1456 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
1457 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
1458 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
1459 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
1460 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
1461 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
1462 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
1463 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
1464 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
1465 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
1466 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
1467 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
1468 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
1469 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
1470 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
1471
1472 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
1473 that the connection fails
1474 or
1475 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
1476 very little free memory
1477 or
1478 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
1479 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
1480 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
1481 memory to service the multiple requests.
1482
1483 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
1484 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
1485 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
1486 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
1487 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.
1488
1489 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
1490 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
1491 [Matt Caswell]
1492
1493 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
1494 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
1495 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
1496 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
1497 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
1498 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
1499 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
1500 [Andy Polyakov]
1501
1502 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
1503
1504 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
1505 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
1506 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
1507 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
1508 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
1509 non-ASCII password.
1510 [Andy Polyakov]
1511
1512 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
1513 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
1514 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
1515 [Rich Salz]
1516
1517 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
1518 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
1519 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
1520 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
1521 [Matt Caswell]
1522
1523 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
1524 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
1525 success.
1526 [Matt Caswell]
1527
1528 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
1529 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
1530 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
1531 no-ops and deprecated.
1532 [Matt Caswell]
1533
1534 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
1535 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
1536 were also closed.
1537 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
1538
1539 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
1540 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
1541 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
1542 [Rich Salz]
1543
1544 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
1545 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
1546 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
1547 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
1548 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
1549 and the validity of object reference counter.
1550 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
1551
1552 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
1553 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
1554 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
1555 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
1556 [Richard Levitte]
1557
1558 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
1559 [Richard Levitte]
1560
1561 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
1562 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
1563 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
1564 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
1565
1566 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
1567
1568 [Richard Levitte]
1569
1570 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
1571 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
1572 [Steve Henson]
1573
1574 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
1575 [Andy Polyakov]
1576
1577 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
1578 [Rich Salz]
1579
1580 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
1581 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
1582 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
1583 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
1584 name and is used as is.
1585 [Richard Levitte]
1586
1587 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
1588 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
1589 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
1590 [Rich Salz]
1591
1592 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
1593 the "no-shared" Configure option.
1594 [Matt Caswell]
1595
1596 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
1597 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
1598 algorithms.
1599 [Matt Caswell]
1600
1601 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
1602 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
1603 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
1604 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
1605 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
1606 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
1607 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
1608 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
1609 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
1610 [Matt Caswell]
1611
1612 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
1613 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
1614 enabled with '--debug' builds.
1615 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
1616
1617 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
1618 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1619 these have been added.
1620 [Matt Caswell]
1621
1622 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
1623 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
1624 functions for managing these have been added.
1625 [Richard Levitte]
1626
1627 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
1628 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1629 these have been added.
1630 [Matt Caswell]
1631
1632 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
1633 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
1634 have been added.
1635 [Matt Caswell]
1636
1637 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
1638 [Matt Caswell]
1639
1640 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
1641 [Richard Levitte]
1642
1643 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
1644 it is always safe to #include a header now.
1645 [Rich Salz]
1646
1647 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
1648 [Richard Levitte]
1649
1650 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
1651 [Rich Salz]
1652
1653 *) Add support for HKDF.
1654 [Alessandro Ghedini]
1655
1656 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
1657 [Bill Cox]
1658
1659 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
1660 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
1661 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
1662 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
1663 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
1664 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
1665 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
1666 [Matt Caswell]
1667
1668 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
1669 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
1670 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
1671 [Catriona Lucey]
1672
1673 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
1674 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
1675 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
1676 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
1677 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
1678 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
1679 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
1680
1681 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1682 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1683 [Todd Short]
1684
1685 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
1686 [Todd Short]
1687
1688 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
1689 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
1690 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
1691 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
1692 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
1693 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
1694 default cipherlist.
1695 [Emilia Käsper]
1696
1697 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
1698 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
1699 [Rich Salz]
1700
1701 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
1702 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
1703 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
1704 [Matt Caswell]
1705
1706 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
1707 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
1708 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
1709 implemented by other servers.
1710 [Emilia Käsper]
1711
1712 *) Add X25519 support.
1713 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
1714 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
1715 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
1716 key generation and key derivation.
1717
1718 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
1719 X25519(29).
1720 [Steve Henson]
1721
1722 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
1723 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1724 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
1725 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
1726 seed, even if the seed is configured.
1727
1728 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1729 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1730 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1731 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1732 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1733 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1734 that of a valid user.
1735 [Emilia Käsper]
1736
1737 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
1738 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
1739 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
1740 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
1741
1742 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
1743 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
1744
1745 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
1746 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
1747 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
1748 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
1749
1750 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
1751 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
1752 irrelevant.
1753 [Richard Levitte]
1754
1755 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
1756 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
1757 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
1758 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
1759 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
1760 of how OpenSSL was configured.
1761
1762 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
1763 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
1764 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
1765 [Richard Levitte]
1766
1767 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
1768 [Rich Salz]
1769
1770 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
1771 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
1772 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
1773 removed.
1774 [Richard Levitte]
1775
1776 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
1777 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
1778 old #define's might need to be updated.
1779 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
1780
1781 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
1782 [Rich Salz]
1783
1784 *) New "unified" build system
1785
1786 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
1787 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
1788
1789 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
1790 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
1791 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
1792
1793 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
1794 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
1795 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
1796 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
1797 descrip.mms.tmpl.
1798
1799 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
1800 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
1801 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
1802 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
1803 libraries" in INSTALL.
1804
1805 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
1806 [Richard Levitte]
1807
1808 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
1809 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
1810 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
1811 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
1812 [Matt Caswell]
1813
1814 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
1815 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
1816
1817 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
1818 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
1819 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
1820 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
1821 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
1822 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
1823 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
1824 have been adapted accordingly.
1825 [Richard Levitte]
1826
1827 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
1828 the leading 0-byte.
1829 [Emilia Käsper]
1830
1831 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
1832 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
1833 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
1834 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
1835 [Emilia Käsper]
1836
1837 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
1838 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
1839 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
1840 'unsigned char*'.
1841 [Emilia Käsper]
1842
1843 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
1844 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
1845 [Emilia Käsper]
1846
1847 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
1848 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
1849 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
1850 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
1851 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
1852 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
1853 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
1854
1855 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
1856 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
1857
1858 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
1859 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
1860 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
1861 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
1862 Text::Template.
1863
1864 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
1865 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
1866 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
1867 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
1868 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
1869 %target).
1870 [Richard Levitte]
1871
1872 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
1873 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
1874 straightforward and less interdependent.
1875
1876 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
1877 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
1878 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
1879
1880 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
1881 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
1882 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
1883 installed.
1884 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
1885 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
1886 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
1887 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
1888
1889 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
1890 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
1891 [Richard Levitte]
1892
1893 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
1894 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
1895 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
1896 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
1897 is present).
1898 [Matt Caswell]
1899
1900 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
1901 configuring.
1902 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
1903
1904 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
1905 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
1906 before trying to build now.*
1907 [Rich Salz]
1908
1909 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
1910 has changed.
1911 [Rich Salz]
1912
1913 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
1914
1915 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
1916 the application's responsibility. The application provides
1917 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
1918 used to authenticate the peer.
1919
1920 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
1921 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
1922 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
1923 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
1924 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
1925 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1926
1927 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
1928 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
1929 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
1930 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
1931 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
1932 or the 1.1.0 releases.
1933
1934 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
1935 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
1936 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
1937 support for the deprecated features from the library and
1938 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
1939 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
1940 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
1941 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
1942 version.
1943
1944 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
1945 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
1946 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
1947 compile with later releases.
1948
1949 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
1950 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
1951 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
1952 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
1953 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
1954 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1955
1956 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
1957 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
1958 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
1959 MaxProtocol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
1960 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
1961 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
1962 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
1963 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
1964 [Kurt Roeckx]
1965
1966 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
1967 [Andy Polyakov]
1968
1969 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
1970 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
1971 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
1972 ECDSA_SIG format.
1973
1974 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
1975 include the ec.h header file instead.
1976 [Steve Henson]
1977
1978 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
1979 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
1980 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
1981 [Kurt Roeckx]
1982
1983 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
1984 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
1985 were added:
1986
1987 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
1988 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
1989
1990 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
1991 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
1992 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
1993
1994 Additional changes:
1995 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
1996 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
1997 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
1998 an already created structure.
1999 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
2000 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
2001 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
2002 for deprecated builds.
2003 [Richard Levitte]
2004
2005 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
2006 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
2007 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
2008 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
2009 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
2010 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
2011 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
2012 [Matt Caswell]
2013
2014 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
2015 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
2016 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
2017 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
2018 [Kurt Roeckx]
2019
2020 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
2021 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
2022 [Kurt Roeckx]
2023
2024 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
2025 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
2026 [Kurt Roeckx]
2027
2028 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
2029 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
2030 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
2031 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
2032 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
2033 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
2034 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
2035 also been removed.
2036 [Matt Caswell]
2037
2038 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
2039 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
2040 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
2041 [Rich Salz]
2042
2043 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
2044 [Rich Salz]
2045
2046 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
2047 sureware and ubsec.
2048 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
2049
2050 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
2051
2052 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
2053 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
2054
2055 FOO *x;
2056
2057 it must be:
2058
2059 FOO x;
2060
2061 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
2062 set a mandatory field to NULL.
2063
2064 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
2065 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
2066 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
2067 SEQUENCE OF.
2068 [Steve Henson]
2069
2070 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
2071 [Emilia Käsper]
2072
2073 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
2074 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
2075 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
2076 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
2077 [Matt Caswell]
2078
2079 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
2080 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
2081 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
2082 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
2083 [Emilia Käsper]
2084
2085 *) Fix no-stdio build.
2086 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
2087 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
2088
2089 *) New testing framework
2090 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
2091 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
2092 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
2093 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
2094 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
2095 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
2096
2097 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
2098
2099 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
2100 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
2101
2102 [Richard Levitte]
2103
2104 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
2105 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
2106 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
2107 and others were changed. All are now documented.
2108 [Rich Salz]
2109
2110 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
2111 return an error
2112 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
2113
2114 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
2115 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
2116
2117 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
2118 original RSA_PSK patch.
2119 [Steve Henson]
2120
2121 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
2122 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
2123 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
2124 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
2125 [Matt Caswell]
2126
2127 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
2128 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
2129 [Richard Levitte]
2130
2131 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
2132 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
2133 hasn't been working properly for a while.
2134 [Emilia Käsper]
2135
2136 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
2137 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
2138 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
2139 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
2140 transferred.
2141 [Matt Caswell]
2142
2143 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
2144 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
2145 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
2146 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
2147 [Matt Caswell]
2148
2149 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
2150 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
2151 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
2152 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
2153 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
2154 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
2155 [Matt Caswell]
2156
2157 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
2158 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
2159 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
2160 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
2161 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
2162 header file has been removed.
2163 [Matt Caswell]
2164
2165 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
2166 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
2167 [Matt Caswell]
2168
2169 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
2170 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
2171 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
2172
2173 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
2174 Added a test.
2175 [Rich Salz]
2176
2177 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
2178 [Rich Salz]
2179
2180 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
2181 sha256
2182 [Rich Salz]
2183
2184 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
2185 [Matt Caswell]
2186
2187 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
2188 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
2189 initial patch which was a great help during development.
2190 [Steve Henson]
2191
2192 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
2193 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
2194 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
2195 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
2196 [Matt Caswell]
2197
2198 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
2199 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
2200 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
2201 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
2202 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
2203 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
2204 [Matt Caswell]
2205
2206 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
2207 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
2208 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
2209 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
2210 [Matt Caswell]
2211
2212 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
2213 compatible client hello.
2214 [Kurt Roeckx]
2215
2216 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
2217 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
2218 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
2219
2220 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
2221 [Rich Salz]
2222
2223 *) Removed old DES API.
2224 [Rich Salz]
2225
2226 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
2227 Sony NEWS4
2228 BEOS and BEOS_R5
2229 NeXT
2230 SUNOS
2231 MPE/iX
2232 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
2233 DGUX
2234 NCR
2235 Tandem
2236 Cray
2237 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
2238 [Rich Salz]
2239
2240 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
2241 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
2242 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
2243 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
2244 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
2245 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
2246 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
2247 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
2248 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
2249 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
2250 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
2251 [Rich Salz]
2252
2253 *) Cleaned up dead code
2254 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
2255 [Rich Salz]
2256
2257 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
2258 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
2259 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
2260 [Rich Salz]
2261
2262 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
2263 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
2264 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
2265 [Rich Salz]
2266
2267 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
2268 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
2269 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
2270
2271 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
2272 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
2273 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
2274
2275 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2276 compilation flags.
2277 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2278
2279 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2280 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
2281 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2282
2283 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2284 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2285
2286 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2287 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2288 server.
2289
2290 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2291 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
2292 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2293 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2294
2295 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2296 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2297 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2298 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2299
2300 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2301 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2302 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2303
2304 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2305 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2306 [Steve Henson]
2307
2308 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
2309
2310 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
2311 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
2312
2313 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
2314 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
2315
2316 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
2317 effect.
2318
2319 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
2320
2321 [Steve Henson]
2322
2323 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2324 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2325 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2326 algorithms and include tests cases.
2327 [Steve Henson]
2328
2329 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
2330 enveloped data.
2331 [Steve Henson]
2332
2333 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2334 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2335 [Steve Henson]
2336
2337 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2338 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2339
2340 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
2341 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
2342 [Steve Henson]
2343
2344 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
2345 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
2346 failures.
2347 [Steve Henson]
2348
2349 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
2350 sign or verify all in one operation.
2351 [Steve Henson]
2352
2353 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
2354 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
2355 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
2356 [Steve Henson]
2357
2358 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
2359 [Steve Henson]
2360
2361 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
2362 [Steve Henson]
2363
2364 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
2365 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
2366 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
2367 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
2368 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
2369 [Steve Henson]
2370
2371 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
2372 based on NID.
2373 [Steve Henson]
2374
2375 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
2376 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
2377 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
2378 [Steve Henson]
2379
2380 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
2381 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
2382
2383 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
2384 POST to handle HMAC cases.
2385 [Steve Henson]
2386
2387 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
2388 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
2389 [Steve Henson]
2390
2391 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
2392 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
2393 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2394 [Steve Henson]
2395
2396 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
2397 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
2398 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
2399 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
2400 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
2401 requested amount of entropy.
2402 [Steve Henson]
2403
2404 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
2405 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
2406 [Steve Henson]
2407
2408 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
2409 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
2410 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
2411 support.
2412 [Steve Henson]
2413
2414 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
2415 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
2416 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
2417 [Steve Henson]
2418
2419 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
2420 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
2421 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
2422 will never use XTS mode.
2423 [Steve Henson]
2424
2425 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
2426 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
2427 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
2428 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
2429 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
2430 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
2431 [Steve Henson]
2432
2433 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
2434 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
2435 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
2436 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
2437 [Steve Henson]
2438
2439 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
2440 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
2441 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
2442 [Steve Henson]
2443
2444 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
2445 [Steve Henson]
2446
2447 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
2448 [Steve Henson]
2449
2450 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
2451 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
2452 [Steve Henson]
2453
2454 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
2455 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
2456 [Steve Henson]
2457
2458 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
2459 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
2460 [Steve Henson]
2461
2462 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
2463 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
2464 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
2465 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
2466 and rename any affected symbols.
2467 [Steve Henson]
2468
2469 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
2470 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
2471 [Steve Henson]
2472
2473 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
2474 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
2475 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
2476 [Steve Henson]
2477
2478 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2479 [Steve Henson]
2480
2481 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
2482 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
2483 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
2484 [Steve Henson]
2485
2486 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
2487 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
2488 [Steve Henson]
2489
2490 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
2491 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
2492 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
2493 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
2494 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
2495 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
2496 set before the key.
2497 [Steve Henson]
2498
2499 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
2500 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
2501 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
2502 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
2503 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
2504 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
2505 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
2506 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
2507 [Steve Henson]
2508
2509 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
2510 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
2511 [Steve Henson]
2512
2513 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
2514
2515 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2516 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2517
2518 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
2519 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
2520 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
2521 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
2522 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
2523 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
2524
2525 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
2526 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
2527 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
2528 security.
2529 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
2530
2531 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
2532 parameters by name.
2533 [Steve Henson]
2534
2535 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
2536 Add CMAC pkey methods.
2537 [Steve Henson]
2538
2539 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
2540 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
2541 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
2542 [Steve Henson]
2543
2544 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
2545 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
2546 multi-process servers.
2547 [Steve Henson]
2548
2549 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
2550 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
2551 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
2552 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
2553 RAND_METHOD structure.
2554 [Steve Henson]
2555
2556 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
2557 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
2558 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
2559 whose return value is often ignored.
2560 [Steve Henson]
2561
2562 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
2563 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
2564 validated when establishing a connection.

2569 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
2570
2571 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
2572 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
2573 AES-NI.
2574
2575 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
2576 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
2577 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
2578 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
2579 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
2580 bytes.

2582 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
2583 (CVE-2016-2107)
2584 [Kurt Roeckx]
2585
2586 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
2587
2588 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
2589 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
2590 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
2591 corruption.
2592
2593 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
2594 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
2595 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
2596 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
2597 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
2598 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
2599
2600 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2601 (CVE-2016-2105)
2602 [Matt Caswell]
2603
2604 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
2605
2606 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
2607 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
2608 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
2609 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
2610 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
2611 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
2612 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
2613 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
2614 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
2615 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
2616 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
2617 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
2618 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
2619 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
2620 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
2621 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
2622
2623 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2624 (CVE-2016-2106)
2625 [Matt Caswell]
2626
2627 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
2628
2629 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
2630 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
2631 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
2632
2633 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
2634 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
2635 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
2636 applications are not affected.
2637
2638 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.

2640 [Stephen Henson]
2641
2642 *) EBCDIC overread
2643
2644 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
2645 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
2646 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.

2653 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
2654 [Todd Short]
2655
2656 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
2657 default.
2658 [Kurt Roeckx]
2659
2660 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
2661 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
2662 [Kurt Roeckx]
2663
2664 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
2665
2666 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
2667 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
2668 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
2669 [Viktor Dukhovni]
2670
2671 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
2672 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
2673 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
2674 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
2675 will need to explicitly call either of:
2676
2677 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2678 or
2679 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2680
2681 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
2682 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
2683 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
2684 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
2685 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.

2688
2689 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
2690
2691 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
2692 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
2693 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
2694 considered rare.
2695
2696 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
2697 libFuzzer.
2698 (CVE-2016-0705)
2699 [Stephen Henson]
2700
2701 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
2702
2703 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
2704
2705 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
2706 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
2707 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
2708 is configured.
2709
2710 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
2711 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
2712 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
2713 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
2714 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
2715 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
2716 that of a valid user.
2717 (CVE-2016-0798)
2718 [Emilia Käsper]
2719
2720 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
2721
2722 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
2723 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
2724 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
2725 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
2726 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
2727 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
2728 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
2729 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
2730 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
2731 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
2732 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
2733
2734 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
2735 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
2736 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
2737 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
2738 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
2739
2740 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
2741 (CVE-2016-0797)
2742 [Matt Caswell]
2743
2744 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
2745
2746 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
2747 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
2748 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
2749
2750 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
2751 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
2752 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
2753 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
2754 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
2755 also occur.
2756
2757 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
2758 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
2759 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
2760 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
2761 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
2762 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
2763 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
2764 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
2765 as command line arguments.
2766
2767 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
2768 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
2769 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.

2773 [Matt Caswell]
2774
2775 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
2776
2777 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
2778 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
2779 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
2780 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
2781 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
2782
2783 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
2784 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and

2793 apps to use 2048 bits by default.

2795
2796 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
2797 *) DH small subgroups
2798
2799 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
2800 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
2801 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
2802 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
2803 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
2804 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
2805 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
2806 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
2807 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
2808 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
2809
2810 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
2811 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
2812 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
2813 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
2814 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
2815
2816 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
2817 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
2818 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
2819 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
2820
2821 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
2822 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.

2829
2830 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on

2832 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
2833 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

2842 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
2843
2844 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
2845 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
2846 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
2847 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
2848 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
2849 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
2850 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
2851 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
2852 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
2853 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
2854 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
2855 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

2862
2863 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2864 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2865 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
2866 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
2867 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
2868 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
2869 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client

2901
2902 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
2903 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
2904 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
2905 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
2906 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
2907 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.

2915 *) Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
2916 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
2917 restored.
2918 [Matt Caswell]
2919
2920 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
2921
2922 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
2923
2924 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
2925 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
2926 field.
2927
2928 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
2929 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
2930 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
2931 client authentication enabled.
2932
2933 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
2934 (CVE-2015-1788)
2935 [Andy Polyakov]
2936
2937 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
2938
2939 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
2940 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
2941 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
2942 time string.
2943
2944 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
2945 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
2946 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
2947 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
2948 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
2949 callbacks.
2950
2951 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
2952 independently by Hanno Böck.
2953 (CVE-2015-1789)
2954 [Emilia Käsper]
2955
2956 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
2957
2958 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
2959 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
2960 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2961
2962 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
2963 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
2964 servers are not affected.
2965
2966 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
2967 (CVE-2015-1790)
2968 [Emilia Käsper]
2969
2970 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
2971
2972 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
2973 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
2974 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
2975 the CMS code.
2976 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
2977 (CVE-2015-1792)
2978 [Stephen Henson]
2979
2980 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
2981
2982 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
2983 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
2984 a double free of the ticket data.
2985 (CVE-2015-1791)
2986 [Matt Caswell]
2987
2988 *) Only support 256-bit or stronger elliptic curves with the
2989 'ecdh_auto' setting (server) or by default (client). Of supported
2990 curves, prefer P-256 (both).
2991 [Emilia Kasper]
2992
2993 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
2994
2995 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
2996
2997 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
2998 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
2999 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
3000
3001 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
3002 University.
3003 (CVE-2015-0291)
3004 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
3005
3006 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
3007
3008 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
3009 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
3010 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
3011 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
3012 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
3013 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
3014 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
3015 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
3016
3017 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
3018 (CVE-2015-0290)
3019 [Matt Caswell]
3020
3021 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
3022
3023 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
3024 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
3025 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
3026 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
3027 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
3028 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
3029 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
3030 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
3031 server.
3032
3033 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
3034 (CVE-2015-0207)
3035 [Matt Caswell]
3036
3037 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
3038
3039 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
3040 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
3041 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
3042 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
3043 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
3044 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
3045 (CVE-2015-0286)
3046 [Stephen Henson]
3047
3048 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
3049
3050 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
3051 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
3052 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
3053 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
3054 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
3055 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
3056 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
3057
3058 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
3059 (CVE-2015-0208)
3060 [Stephen Henson]
3061
3062 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
3063
3064 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
3065 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
3066 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
3067
3068 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
3069 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
3070 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
3071 not affected.
3072 (CVE-2015-0287)
3073 [Stephen Henson]
3074
3075 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
3076
3077 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
3078 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
3079 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
3080
3081 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
3082 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
3083 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
3084
3085 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
3086 (CVE-2015-0289)
3087 [Emilia Käsper]
3088
3089 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
3090
3091 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
3092 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
3093 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
3094
3095 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
3096 (OpenSSL development team).
3097 (CVE-2015-0293)
3098 [Emilia Käsper]
3099
3100 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
3101
3102 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
3103 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
3104 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
3105 (CVE-2015-1787)
3106 [Matt Caswell]
3107
3108 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
3109
3110 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
3111 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
3112 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
3113 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
3114 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
3115 SSL_client_methodv23)
3116 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
3117 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
3118
3119 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
3120 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
3121 output may be predictable.
3122
3123 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
3124 succeed on an unpatched platform:
3125
3126 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
3127 (CVE-2015-0285)
3128 [Matt Caswell]
3129
3130 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
3131
3132 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
3133 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
3134 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
3135 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
3136 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
3137 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
3138
3139 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
3140 commit 517073cd4b.
3141 (CVE-2015-0209)
3142 [Matt Caswell]
3143
3144 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
3145
3146 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
3147 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
3148
3149 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
3150 (CVE-2015-0288)
3151 [Stephen Henson]
3152
3153 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
3154 [Kurt Roeckx]
3155
3156 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
3157
3158 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
3159 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
3160 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
3161 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
3162 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
3163 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
3164 [Andy Polyakov]
3165
3166 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
3167 (other platforms pending).
3168 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
3169
3170 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
3171 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
3172 [Rob Stradling]
3173
3174 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
3175 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
3176 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
3177 [Bodo Moeller]
3178
3179 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
3180 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
3181 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
3182 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
3183 [Andy Polyakov]
3184
3185 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
3186 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
3187
3188 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
3189 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
3190 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
3191 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
3192 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
3193
3194 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
3195 [Andy Polyakov]
3196
3197 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
3198 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
3199 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
3200 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
3201
3202 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
3203 RSAZ.
3204 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
3205
3206 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
3207 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
3208 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
3209 for TLS encrypt.
3210
3211 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
3212 [Andy Polyakov]
3213
3214 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
3215 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
3216 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
3217 [Steve Henson]
3218
3219 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
3220 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
3221 [Steve Henson]
3222
3223 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
3224 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
3225 [Steve Henson]
3226
3227 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
3228 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
3229 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
3230 algorithms and include tests cases.
3231 [Steve Henson]
3232
3233 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
3234 structure.
3235 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
3236
3237 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
3238 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
3239 [Steve Henson]
3240
3241 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
3242 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
3243 summary of the connection parameters.
3244 [Steve Henson]
3245
3246 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
3247 of connection parameters.
3248 [Steve Henson]
3249
3250 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
3251 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
3252
3253 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
3254 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
3255 [Steve Henson]
3256
3257 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
3258 [Steve Henson]
3259
3260 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
3261 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
3262 [Steve Henson]
3263
3264 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
3265 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
3266 [Steve Henson]
3267
3268 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
3269 certificates.
3270 [Steve Henson]
3271
3272 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
3273 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
3274 CRLs using the OCSP API.
3275 [Steve Henson]
3276
3277 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
3278 [Steve Henson]
3279
3280 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
3281 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
3282 [Steve Henson]
3283
3284 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
3285 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
3286 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
3287 tracing.
3288 [Steve Henson]
3289
3290 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
3291 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
3292 [Steve Henson]
3293
3294 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
3295 OID NID.
3296 [Steve Henson]
3297
3298 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
3299 client to OpenSSL.
3300 [Steve Henson]
3301
3302 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
3303 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
3304 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
3305 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
3306 [Steve Henson]
3307
3308 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
3309 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
3310 [Steve Henson]
3311
3312 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
3313 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
3314 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
3315 comparison.
3316 [Steve Henson]
3317
3318 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
3319 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
3320 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
3321 use the certificate.
3322 [Steve Henson]
3323
3324 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
3325 [Steve Henson]
3326
3327 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
3328 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
3329 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
3330 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
3331 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
3332 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
3333 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
3334
3335 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
3336 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
3337
3338 [Steve Henson]
3339
3340 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
3341 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
3342 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
3343 [Steve Henson]
3344
3345 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
3346 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
3347 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
3348 supported signature algorithms.
3349 [Steve Henson]
3350
3351 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
3352 [Steve Henson]
3353
3354 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
3355 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
3356 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
3357 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
3358 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
3359 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
3360 certificate and specify the whole chain.
3361 [Steve Henson]
3362
3363 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
3364 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
3365 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
3366 to have similar checks in it.
3367
3368 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
3369 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
3370 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
3371 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
3372 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
3373 [Steve Henson]
3374
3375 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
3376 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
3377 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
3378 shared signature algorithms.
3379 [Steve Henson]
3380
3381 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
3382 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
3383 to support them.
3384 [Steve Henson]
3385
3386 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
3387 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
3388 it couldn't be removed.
3389 [Steve Henson]
3390
3391 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
3392 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
3393 [Steve Henson]
3394
3395 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
3396 functions. Add manual page.
3397 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
3398
3399 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
3400 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
3401 a certificate.
3402 [Steve Henson]
3403
3404 *) Fix OCSP checking.
3405 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
3406
3407 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
3408 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
3409 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
3410 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
3411 utility) or reject.
3412 [Steve Henson]
3413
3414 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
3415 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
3416 [Steve Henson]
3417
3418 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
3419 platform support for Linux and Android.
3420 [Andy Polyakov]
3421
3422 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
3423 [Andy Polyakov]
3424
3425 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
3426 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
3427 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
3428 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
3429 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
3430 [Steve Henson]
3431
3432 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
3433 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
3434 the new parameter format automatically.
3435 [Steve Henson]
3436
3437 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
3438 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
3439 [Steve Henson]
3440
3441 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
3442 [Steve Henson]
3443
3444 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
3445 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
3446 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
3447 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
3448 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
3449 [Steve Henson]
3450
3451 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
3452 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
3453 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
3454 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
3455 to set list of supported curves.
3456 [Steve Henson]
3457
3458 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
3459 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
3460 to print out received values.
3461 [Steve Henson]
3462
3463 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
3464 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
3465 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
3466 [Steve Henson]
3467
3468 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
3469 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
3470 [Steve Henson]
3471
3472 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
3473 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
3474 [Steve Henson]
3475
3476 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
3477 certificates.
3478 [Steve Henson]
3479
3480 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
3481 the certificate.
3482 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
3483 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
3484 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
3485
3486 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
3487
3488 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
3489 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
3490
3491 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
3492
3493 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
3494 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
3495 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
3496 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
3497 (CVE-2014-3571)
3498 [Steve Henson]
3499
3500 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
3501 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
3502 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
3503 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
3504 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
3505 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
3506 (CVE-2015-0206)
3507 [Matt Caswell]
3508
3509 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
3510 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
3511 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
3512 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
3513 (CVE-2014-3569)
3514 [Kurt Roeckx]
3515
3516 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
3517 ECDH ciphersuites.
3518
3519 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
3520 reporting this issue.
3521 (CVE-2014-3572)
3522 [Steve Henson]
3523
3524 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
3525 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
3526 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
3527 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
3528 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
3529 INRIA or reporting this issue.
3530 (CVE-2015-0204)
3531 [Steve Henson]
3532
3533 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
3534 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
3535 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
3536 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
3537 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
3538 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
3539 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
3540 this issue.
3541 (CVE-2015-0205)
3542 [Steve Henson]
3543
3544 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
3545 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
3546
3547 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
3548 and can vary with the CTX.
3549 [Adam Langley]
3550
3551 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
3552
3553 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
3554 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
3555 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
3556 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
3557 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
3558
3559 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
3560
3561 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
3562 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
3563
3564 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
3565
3566 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
3567 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
3568 errors for some broken certificates.
3569
3570 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
3571
3572 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
3573
3574 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
3575 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
3576
3577 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
3578 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
3579 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
3580 (negative or with leading zeroes).
3581
3582 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
3583 of the OpenSSL core team.
3584
3585 (CVE-2014-8275)
3586 [Steve Henson]
3587
3588 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
3589 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
3590 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
3591 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
3592 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
3593 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
3594 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
3595 the OpenSSL core team.
3596 (CVE-2014-3570)
3597 [Andy Polyakov]
3598
3599 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
3600 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
3601 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
3602 sanity and breaks all known clients.
3603 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
3604
3605 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
3606 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
3607 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
3608 [Emilia Käsper]
3609
3610 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
3611 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
3612 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3613 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
3614 announced in the initial ServerHello.
3615
3616 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
3617 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3618 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
3619 [Emilia Käsper]
3620
3621 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
3622
3623 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
3624
3625 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
3626 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
3627 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
3628 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
3629 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
3630 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
3631 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
3632
3633 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
3634 (CVE-2014-3513)
3635 [OpenSSL team]
3636
3637 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
3638
3639 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
3640 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
3641 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
3642 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
3643 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
3644 attack.
3645 (CVE-2014-3567)
3646 [Steve Henson]
3647
3648 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
3649
3650 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
3651 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
3652 configured to send them.
3653 (CVE-2014-3568)
3654 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
3655
3656 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
3657 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
3658 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
3659 (CVE-2014-3566)
3660 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3661
3662 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
3663
3664 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
3665 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
3666 DigestInfo structures.
3667
3668 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
3669
3670 [Steve Henson]
3671
3672 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
3673
3674 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
3675 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
3676 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
3677
3678 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
3679 Group for discovering this issue.
3680 (CVE-2014-3512)
3681 [Steve Henson]
3682
3683 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
3684 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
3685 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
3686 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
3687 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
3688
3689 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
3690 researching this issue.
3691 (CVE-2014-3511)
3692 [David Benjamin]
3693
3694 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
3695 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
3696 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
3697 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
3698
3699 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
3700 issue.
3701 (CVE-2014-3510)
3702 [Emilia Käsper]
3703
3704 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
3705 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3706 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3707 (CVE-2014-3507)
3708 [Adam Langley]
3709
3710 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
3711 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
3712 Denial of Service attack.
3713 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3714 (CVE-2014-3506)
3715 [Adam Langley]
3716
3717 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
3718 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
3719 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3720 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
3721 this issue.
3722 (CVE-2014-3505)
3723 [Adam Langley]
3724
3725 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
3726 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
3727 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
3728
3729 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
3730 issue.
3731 (CVE-2014-3509)
3732 [Gabor Tyukasz]
3733
3734 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
3735 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
3736 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
3737 Denial of Service attack.
3738
3739 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
3740 discovering and researching this issue.
3741 (CVE-2014-5139)
3742 [Steve Henson]
3743
3744 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
3745 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
3746 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
3747 output to the attacker.
3748
3749 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
3750 (CVE-2014-3508)
3751 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
3752
3753 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
3754 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
3755 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
3756 [Bodo Moeller]
3757
3758 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
3759
3760 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
3761 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
3762 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
3763
3764 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
3765 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
3766 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
3767
3768 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
3769 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
3770 in a DoS attack.
3771
3772 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
3773 (CVE-2014-0221)
3774 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
3775
3776 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
3777 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
3778 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
3779 code on a vulnerable client or server.
3780
3781 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
3782 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
3783
3784 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
3785 are subject to a denial of service attack.
3786
3787 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
3788 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
3789 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
3790
3791 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
3792 compilation flags.
3793 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3794
3795 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
3796 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
3797 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3798
3799 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
3800 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3801
3802 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
3803
3804 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
3805 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
3806 server.
3807
3808 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
3809 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
3810 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
3811 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3812
3813 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
3814 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
3815 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
3816 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
3817
3818 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
3819 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
3820 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
3821
3822 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
3823
3824 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
3825 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
3826 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
3827 is at least 512 bytes long.
3828
3829 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
3830
3831 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
3832
3833 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
3834 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
3835 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
3836 (CVE-2013-4353)
3837
3838 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
3839 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
3840 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
3841 [Steve Henson]
3842
3843 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
3844 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
3845 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
3846 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
3847 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
3848 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
3849 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
3850
3851 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
3852
3853 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
3854 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
3855 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3856
3857 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
3858
3859 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
3860
3861 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
3862 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
3863 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
3864
3865 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information

3869 (CVE-2013-0169)
3870 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3871
3872 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
3873 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
3874 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
3875 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger

3883
3884 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
3885 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3886
3887 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
3888 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
3889 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
3890 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
3891 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
3892
3893 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
3894 [Steve Henson]
3895
3896 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
3897 if renegotiating.
3898 [Steve Henson]
3899
3900 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
3901
3902 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
3903 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.

3906 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
3907 (CVE-2012-2333)
3908 [Steve Henson]

3910 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
3911 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
3912 [Steve Henson]

3918 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
3919
3920 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
3921 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
3922 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
3923 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disabling
3924 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
3925 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
3926 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
3927 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
3928 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
3929 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
3930 [Steve Henson]
3931
3932 *) In order to ensure interoperability SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
3933 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
3934 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
3935 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
3936 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
3937 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
3938 client side.
3939 [Andy Polyakov]
3940
3941 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
3942
3943 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
3944 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
3945 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
3946
3947 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
3948 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
3949 (CVE-2012-2110)
3950 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
3951
3952 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
3953 [Adam Langley]
3954
3955 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
3956 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
3957
3958 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
3959 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
3960 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
3961 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
3962 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
3963 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
3964 Most broken servers should now work.
3965 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
3966 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
3967 [Steve Henson]
3968
3969 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
3970 [Andy Polyakov]
3971
3972 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
3973
3974 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
3975 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
3976 [Steve Henson]
3977
3978 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
3979 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
3980 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
3981 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
3982 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
3983 [Steve Henson]
3984
3985 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
3986 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
3987 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
3988 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
3989 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
3990 [Steve Henson]
3991
3992 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
3993 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3994
3995 *) Add support for SCTP.
3996 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3997
3998 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3999 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
4000
4001 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
4002
4003 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
4004 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
4005 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
4006 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
4007 - s390x: z196 support;
4008 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
4009
4010 [Andy Polyakov]
4011
4012 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
4013 (removal of unnecessary code)
4014 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
4015
4016 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
4017 [Eric Rescorla]
4018
4019 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
4020 [Eric Rescorla]
4021
4022 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
4023 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
4024 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
4025 by Google.
4026 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
4027
4028 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
4029 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
4030 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
4031 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
4032 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
4033
4034 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
4035 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
4036 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
4037
4038 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
4039 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
4040 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
4041
4042 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
4043 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
4044 implementations).
4045 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4046
4047 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
4048 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
4049 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
4050 [Steve Henson]
4051
4052 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
4053 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
4054 particular PSS.
4055 [Steve Henson]
4056
4057 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
4058 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
4059 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
4060 [Steve Henson]
4061
4062 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
4063 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
4064 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
4065 the appropriate parameters.
4066 [Steve Henson]
4067
4068 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
4069 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
4070 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
4071 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
4072 against a number of sample certificates.
4073 [Steve Henson]
4074
4075 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
4076 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
4077
4078 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
4079 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
4080
4081 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
4082 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
4083 parameters r, s.
4084 [Steve Henson]
4085
4086 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
4087 RFC3211.
4088 [Steve Henson]
4089
4090 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
4091 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
4092 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
4093 password based CMS).
4094 [Steve Henson]
4095
4096 *) Session-handling fixes:
4097 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
4098 but also support Session Tickets.
4099 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
4100 presented a ticket with an expired session.
4101 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
4102 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
4103 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
4104 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4105
4106 *) Fix PSK session representation.
4107 [Bodo Moeller]
4108
4109 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
4110
4111 This work was sponsored by Intel.
4112 [Andy Polyakov]
4113
4114 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
4115 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
4116 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
4117 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
4118 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
4119 [Steve Henson]
4120
4121 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
4122 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
4123 [Steve Henson]
4124
4125 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
4126 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
4127 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
4128 [Steve Henson]
4129
4130 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
4131 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
4132 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
4133 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
4134 [Steve Henson]
4135
4136 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
4137 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
4138 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
4139 [Steve Henson]
4140
4141 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
4142 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
4143
4144 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
4145 [Steve Henson]
4146
4147 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
4148 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
4149 [Steve Henson]
4150
4151 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
4152 [Steve Henson]
4153
4154 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
4155 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
4156 [Steve Henson]
4157
4158 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
4159 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
4160 [Steve Henson]
4161
4162 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
4163 [Steve Henson]
4164
4165 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
4166 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
4167 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
4168 [Steve Henson]
4169
4170 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
4171 [Steve Henson]
4172
4173 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
4174 [Steve Henson]
4175
4176 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
4177 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
4178 [Steve Henson]
4179
4180 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
4181 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
4182 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
4183 [Steve Henson]
4184
4185 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
4186 [Steve Henson]
4187
4188 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
4189 and enable MD5.
4190 [Steve Henson]
4191
4192 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
4193 FIPS modules versions.
4194 [Steve Henson]
4195
4196 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
4197 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
4198 until after the certificate request message is received.
4199 [Steve Henson]
4200
4201 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
4202 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
4203 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
4204 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
4205 [Steve Henson]
4206
4207 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
4208 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
4209 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
4210 support yet and no support for client certificates.
4211 [Steve Henson]
4212
4213 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
4214 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
4215 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
4216 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
4217 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
4218 and version checking.
4219 [Steve Henson]
4220
4221 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
4222 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
4223 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
4224 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
4225 [Steve Henson]
4226
4227 *) A long standing patch to add support for SRP from EdelWeb (Peter
4228 Sylvester and Christophe Renou) was integrated.
4229 [Christophe Renou <christophe.renou@edelweb.fr>, Peter Sylvester
4230 <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>, Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu>, and
4231 Ben Laurie]
4232
4233 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
4234 [Steve Henson]
4235
4236 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
4237 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
4238 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
4239
4240 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
4241 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
4242 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
4243 [Steve Henson]
4244
4245 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
4246 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
4247
4248 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
4249 a few changes are required:
4250
4251 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
4252 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
4253 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
4254 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
4255 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
4256 [Steve Henson]
4257
4258 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
4259
4260 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
4261 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
4262 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
4263 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
4264 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
4265 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
4266 an MMA defence is not necessary.
4267 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
4268 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
4269 [Steve Henson]
4270
4271 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
4272 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
4273 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
4274 [Steve Henson]
4275
4276 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
4277
4278 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
4279 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
4280 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
4281 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
4282 [Antonio Martin]
4283
4284 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
4285
4286 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
4287 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
4288 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
4289 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
4290 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
4291 paper describing this attack can be found at:
4292 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
4293 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
4294 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
4295 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
4296 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
4297 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
4298 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
4299
4300 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
4301 (CVE-2011-4576)
4302 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4303
4304 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
4305 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
4306 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
4307 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4308
4309 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
4310 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
4311
4312 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
4313 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
4314 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
4315 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4316
4317 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
4318 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
4319
4320 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
4321 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4322
4323 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
4324 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
4325
4326 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
4327 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
4328 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4329
4330 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
4331 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
4332 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
4333
4334 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
4335 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
4336 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
4337 the last update always remained unused).
4338 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
4339
4340 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
4341 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
4342
4343 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
4344
4345 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
4346 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
4347 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
4348
4349 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
4350 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
4351 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4352
4353 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
4354 [Bodo Moeller]
4355
4356 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
4357 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
4358 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
4359 [Steve Henson]
4360
4361 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
4362 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
4363
4364 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
4365
4366 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
4367
4368 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
4369
4370 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
4371 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4372
4373 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
4374 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
4375 ambiguous.
4376 [Steve Henson]
4377
4378 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
4379
4380 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
4381 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
4382 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
4383 [Steve Henson]
4384
4385 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
4386 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
4387 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
4388 [Ben Laurie]
4389
4390 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
4391
4392 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
4393 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
4394 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
4395 [Steve Henson]
4396
4397 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
4398 a DLL.
4399 [Steve Henson]
4400
4401 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
4402
4403 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
4404 (CVE-2010-1633)
4405 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
4406
4407 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
4408
4409 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
4410 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
4411 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
4412 [Steve Henson]
4413
4414 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
4415 [Steve Henson]
4416
4417 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
4418 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
4419 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
4420
4421 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
4422 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
4423 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
4424 [Steve Henson]
4425
4426 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
4427 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
4428 [Steve Henson]
4429
4430 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
4431 some responders need this.
4432 [Steve Henson]
4433
4434 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
4435 correctly.
4436 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4437
4438 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
4439 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
4440 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
4441 [Steve Henson]
4442
4443 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
4444 [Steve Henson]
4445
4446 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
4447 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
4448 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
4449 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
4450 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
4451 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
4452 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
4453 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
4454 [Steve Henson]
4455
4456 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
4457 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
4458 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
4459 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4460
4461 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
4462 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
4463
4464 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
4465 be used on C++.
4466 [Steve Henson]
4467
4468 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
4469 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
4470 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
4471 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
4472 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
4473 attempting to work them out.
4474 [Steve Henson]
4475
4476 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
4477 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
4478 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
4479 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
4480 [Steve Henson]
4481
4482 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
4483 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
4484 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
4485 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
4486 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
4487 [Steve Henson]
4488
4489 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
4490 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
4491 you can do:
4492
4493 openssl sha256 foo
4494
4495 as well as:
4496
4497 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
4498
4499 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
4500
4501 [Steve Henson]
4502
4503 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
4504 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4505
4506 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
4507 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
4508
4509 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
4510 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
4511 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
4512 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
4513 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
4514 [Steve Henson]
4515
4516 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
4517 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
4518 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
4519 [Steve Henson]
4520
4521 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
4522 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
4523 [Steve Henson]
4524
4525 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
4526 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
4527
4528 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
4529 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
4530 [Steve Henson]
4531
4532 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
4533 [Ben Laurie]
4534
4535 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
4536 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
4537 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
4538 CONF_VALUE.
4539 [Ben Laurie]
4540
4541 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
4542 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
4543 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
4544 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
4545 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
4546 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
4547 [Steve Henson]
4548
4549 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
4550 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
4551
4552 This work was sponsored by Google.
4553 [Steve Henson]
4554
4555 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
4556 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
4557 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
4558 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
4559 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
4560 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
4561 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
4562 default.
4563
4564 This work was sponsored by Google.
4565 [Steve Henson]
4566
4567 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
4568
4569 This work was sponsored by Google.
4570 [Steve Henson]
4571
4572 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
4573 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
4574 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
4575 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
4576
4577 This work was sponsored by Google.
4578 [Steve Henson]
4579
4580 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
4581 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
4582 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
4583 CRL functionality in future.
4584
4585 This work was sponsored by Google.
4586 [Steve Henson]
4587
4588 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
4589
4590 This work was sponsored by Google.
4591 [Steve Henson]
4592
4593 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
4594 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
4595
4596 This work was sponsored by Google.
4597 [Steve Henson]
4598
4599 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
4600 and URI types are currently supported.
4601
4602 This work was sponsored by Google.
4603 [Steve Henson]
4604
4605 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
4606 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
4607 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
4608 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
4609 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
4610 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
4611 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
4612 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
4613
4614 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
4615 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
4616 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
4617
4618 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
4619 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
4620 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
4621 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
4622
4623 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
4624 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
4625 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
4626 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
4627 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
4628 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
4629 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
4630 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
4631 of &errno.)
4632 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
4633
4634 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
4635 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
4636 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
4637
4638 This work was sponsored by Google.
4639 [Steve Henson]
4640
4641 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
4642 [Ben Laurie]
4643
4644 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4645 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
4646 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
4647 [Ben Laurie]
4648
4649 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
4650 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
4651 [Nick Mathewson]
4652
4653 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4654 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
4655 [Ben Laurie]
4656
4657 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
4658 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
4659 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
4660 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
4661 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
4662 content types and variants.
4663 [Steve Henson]
4664
4665 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
4666 [Steve Henson]
4667
4668 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
4669 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
4670 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
4671 files from the associated perl scripts.
4672 [Steve Henson]
4673
4674 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
4675 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
4676 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4677
4678 *) s390x assembler pack.
4679 [Andy Polyakov]
4680
4681 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
4682 "family."
4683 [Andy Polyakov]
4684
4685 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
4686 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
4687 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
4688 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
4689 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
4690 to use. For example, specify an option
4691
4692 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
4693
4694 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
4695 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
4696 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
4697 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
4698 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
4699 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
4700
4701 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
4702 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
4703 an internal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
4704 return non-zero for success.
4705
4706 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
4707 by using
4708
4709 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
4710 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4711
4712 where
4713
4714 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
4715 void *arg;
4716
4717 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
4718 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
4719 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
4720 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
4721 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
4722 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
4723 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
4724 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
4725 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
4726
4727 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
4728 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
4729 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
4730 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
4731 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
4732 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
4733
4734 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
4735 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
4736 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
4737 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
4738 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
4739 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
4740
4741 [Bodo Moeller]
4742
4743 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
4744 MAC.
4745
4746 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4747
4748 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4749 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4750 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4751 supported.
4752
4753 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4754 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4755 SSL_SESSION.
4756
4757 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4758 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4759 with no application modification.
4760
4761 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4762 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4763
4764 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4765 or server extensions to be examined.
4766
4767 This work was sponsored by Google.
4768 [Steve Henson]
4769
4770 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
4771 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
4772 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
4773
4774 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
4775 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
4776 ciphersuite support.
4777 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
4778
4779 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
4780 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
4781 to output in BER and PEM format.
4782 [Steve Henson]
4783
4784 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
4785 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
4786 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
4787 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
4788 -macopt options to dgst utility.
4789 [Steve Henson]
4790
4791 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
4792 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
4793 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
4794 utility.
4795 [Steve Henson]
4796
4797 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
4798 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
4799 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
4800 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
4801 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
4802 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
4803 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
4804 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
4805 enabled again.
4806
4807 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
4808 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
4809 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
4810 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
4811
4812 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
4813 functionality) such that between otherwise identical
4814 ciphersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
4815 the default order.
4816 [Bodo Moeller]
4817
4818 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
4819 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
4820 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
4821 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
4822 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
4823 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
4824 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
4825 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
4826 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
4827
4828 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
4829 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
4830 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
4831 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
4832 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
4833 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
4834 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
4835 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
4836 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
4837 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
4838 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
4839 kinds of kludges.
4840
4841 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
4842 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
4843 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
4844
4845 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
4846 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
4847 "CAMELLIA256".
4848 [Bodo Moeller]
4849
4850 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
4851 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
4852 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
4853 [Nils Larsch]
4854
4855 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
4856 it yet and it is largely untested.
4857 [Steve Henson]
4858
4859 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
4860 [Nils Larsch]
4861
4862 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
4863 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
4864 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
4865 [Steve Henson]
4866
4867 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
4868 [Andy Polyakov]
4869
4870 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
4871 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
4872 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
4873 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
4874 [Steve Henson]
4875
4876 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
4877 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
4878 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
4879 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
4880 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
4881 [Steve Henson]
4882
4883 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
4884 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
4885 [Cryptocom]
4886
4887 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
4888 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
4889 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
4890 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
4891 [Steve Henson]
4892
4893 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
4894 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
4895 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
4896 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
4897 [Steve Henson]
4898
4899 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
4900 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
4901 [Steve Henson]
4902
4903 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
4904 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
4905 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
4906 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
4907 [Steve Henson]
4908
4909 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
4910 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
4911 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
4912 [Steve Henson]
4913
4914 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
4915 utility.
4916 [Steve Henson]
4917
4918 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
4919 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
4920 [Steve Henson]
4921
4922 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
4923 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
4924 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
4925 if necessary.
4926 [Steve Henson]
4927
4928 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
4929 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
4930 to free up any added signature OIDs.
4931 [Steve Henson]
4932
4933 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
4934 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
4935 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
4936 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
4937 [Steve Henson]
4938
4939 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
4940 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
4941 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
4942 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
4943 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
4944 the array representation useful in a more general context.
4945 [Douglas Stebila]
4946
4947 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
4948 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
4949 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
4950 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
4951 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
4952
4953 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
4954 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
4955 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
4956 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
4957 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
4958 protocol).
4959
4960 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
4961 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
4962 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
4963 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
4964
4965 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
4966 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
4967 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
4968 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
4969 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
4970
4971 aECDH - ECDH cert
4972 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
4973 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
4974
4975 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
4976 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
4977
4978 [Bodo Moeller]
4979
4980 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
4981 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
4982 [Steve Henson]
4983
4984 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
4985 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
4986 [Steve Henson]
4987
4988 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
4989 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
4990 functional reference processing.
4991 [Steve Henson]
4992
4993 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enhanced versions of
4994 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
4995 process.
4996 [Steve Henson]
4997
4998 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
4999 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
5000 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
5001 [Steve Henson]
5002
5003 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
5004 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
5005 application to support multiple signers.
5006 [Steve Henson]
5007
5008 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
5009 digest MAC.
5010 [Steve Henson]
5011
5012 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
5013 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
5014 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
5015 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
5016 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
5017 [Steve Henson]
5018
5019 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
5020 new API.
5021 [Steve Henson]
5022
5023 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
5024 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
5025 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
5026 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
5027 a no op.
5028 [Steve Henson]
5029
5030 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
5031 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
5032 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
5033 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
5034 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
5035 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
5036 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
5037 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
5038 [Steve Henson]
5039
5040 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
5041 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
5042 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
5043 between digests and public key types.
5044 [Steve Henson]
5045
5046 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
5047 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
5048 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
5049 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
5050 [Steve Henson]
5051
5052 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
5053 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
5054 key ASN1 method.
5055 [Steve Henson]
5056
5057 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
5058 [Steve Henson]
5059
5060 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
5061 pkeyutl.
5062 [Steve Henson]
5063
5064 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
5065 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
5066 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
5067 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
5068 pkey, genpkey.
5069 [Steve Henson]
5070
5071 *) BeOS support.
5072 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
5073
5074 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
5075 manual pages.
5076 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
5077
5078 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
5079 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
5080 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
5081 functionality for RSA.
5082 [Steve Henson]
5083
5084 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
5085 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
5086 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
5087 [Steve Henson]
5088
5089 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
5090 key API, doesn't do much yet.
5091 [Steve Henson]
5092
5093 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
5094 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
5095 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
5096 [Steve Henson]
5097
5098 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
5099 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
5100 [Douglas Stebila]
5101
5102 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
5103 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
5104 [Steve Henson]
5105
5106 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
5107 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
5108 type.
5109 [Steve Henson]
5110
5111 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
5112 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
5113 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
5114 structure.
5115 [Steve Henson]
5116
5117 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
5118 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
5119 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
5120 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
5121 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
5122 of public and private key structures.
5123 [Steve Henson]
5124
5125 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
5126 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
5127 [Douglas Stebila]
5128
5129 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
5130 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
5131 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
5132
5133 New ciphersuites:
5134 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
5135 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
5136
5137 New functions:
5138 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
5139 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
5140 SSL_get_psk_identity
5141 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
5142
5143 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
5144
5145 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
5146 and response verification functionality.
5147 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
5148
5149 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
5150 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
5151 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
5152 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
5153 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
5154 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
5155 server_name extension.
5156
5157 New functions (subject to change):
5158
5159 SSL_get_servername()
5160 SSL_get_servername_type()
5161 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
5162
5163 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
5164
5165 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
5166 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
5167 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
5168 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
5169 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
5170
5171 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
5172
5173 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
5174 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
5175 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
5176 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
5177 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
5178 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
5179 option.
5180
5181 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
5182
5183 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
5184 [Andy Polyakov]
5185
5186 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
5187 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
5188 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
5189 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
5190 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
5191 [Andy Polyakov]
5192
5193 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
5194 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
5195 macro.
5196 [Bodo Moeller]
5197
5198 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
5199 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
5200 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
5201 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
5202 [Andy Polyakov]
5203
5204 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
5205 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
5206 Save memory by setting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
5207 using the maximum available value.
5208 [Steve Henson]
5209
5210 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
5211 in addition to the text details.
5212 [Bodo Moeller]
5213
5214 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
5215 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
5216 handle several customised structures at all.
5217 [Steve Henson]
5218
5219 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
5220 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
5221 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
5222 [Steve Henson]
5223
5224 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
5225 [Steve Henson]
5226
5227 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
5228 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
5229 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
5230 [Steve Henson]
5231
5232 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
5233 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
5234 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
5235 [Nils Larsch]
5236
5237 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
5238 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
5239 all fields.
5240 [Steve Henson]
5241
5242 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
5243 [Steve Henson]
5244
5245 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
5246 [NTT]
5247
5248 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
5249
5250 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
5251 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
5252 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
5253 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
5254 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
5255 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
5256 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
5257 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
5258
5259 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
5260 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
5261 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
5262
5263 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
5264
5265 *) Always check bn_wexpand() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
5266 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
5267
5268 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
5269 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
5270 [Bodo Moeller]
5271
5272 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
5273 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
5274 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
5275 [Steve Henson]
5276
5277 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
5278 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
5279 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
5280 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
5281 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
5282 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
5283 [Steve Henson]
5284
5285 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
5286 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
5287 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
5288 [Steve Henson]
5289
5290 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
5291 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
5292 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
5293 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
5294 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
5295 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
5296 CVE-2009-4355.
5297 [Steve Henson]
5298
5299 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
5300 change when encrypting or decrypting.
5301 [Bodo Moeller]
5302
5303 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
5304 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
5305 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
5306 [Steve Henson]
5307
5308 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
5309 [Steve Henson]
5310
5311 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
5312 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
5313 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
5314 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
5315 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
5316 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
5317 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
5318 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
5319 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
5320 [Steve Henson]
5321
5322 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
5323 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
5324 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
5325 [Steve Henson]
5326
5327 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
5328 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
5329 [Steve Henson]
5330
5331 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
5332 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
5333 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
5334 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
5335 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
5336 know what you are doing.
5337 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
5338
5339 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
5340 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
5341 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
5342 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
5343 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
5344 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
5345 the handshake.
5346 [Steve Henson]
5347
5348 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
5349 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
5350 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
5351 correctly.
5352 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
5353
5354 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
5355 warnings in other configurations.
5356 [Steve Henson]
5357
5358 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
5359 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
5360 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
5361 systems need.
5362 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
5363
5364 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
5365 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
5366 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
5367
5368 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
5369 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
5370 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
5371 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
5372 [Steve Henson]
5373
5374 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
5375 and restored.
5376 [Steve Henson]
5377
5378 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
5379 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
5380 clash.
5381 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
5382
5383 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
5384 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
5385 other than a simple chain.
5386 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
5387
5388 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
5389 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
5390 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
5391 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
5392 [Steve Henson]
5393
5394 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
5395 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
5396 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
5397 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
5398 left. Additionally every future message was buffered, even if the
5399 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
5400 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
5401 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
5402 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
5403
5404 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
5405 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
5406 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
5407 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
5408 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
5409 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
5410 (CVE-2009-1377)
5411 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
5412
5413 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
5414 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
5415 [Daniel Mentz]
5416
5417 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
5418 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
5419
5420 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
5421 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
5422
5423 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
5424
5425 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
5426 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
5427 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
5428 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
5429 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
5430 you're doing.
5431 [Ben Laurie]
5432
5433 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
5434
5435 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
5436 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
5437 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
5438 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
5439
5440 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
5441 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
5442 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
5443 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
5444
5445 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
5446 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
5447 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
5448 [Steve Henson]
5449
5450 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
5451 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
5452 level.
5453 [Steve Henson]
5454
5455 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
5456 to handle some structures.
5457 [Steve Henson]
5458
5459 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
5460 for a '\n'
5461 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
5462
5463 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
5464 [Matthieu Herrb]
5465
5466 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
5467 [Steve Henson]
5468
5469 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
5470 [Steve Henson]
5471
5472 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
5473 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
5474 chosen compiler.
5475 [Ben Laurie]
5476
5477 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
5478
5479 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
5480 (CVE-2008-5077).
5481 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
5482
5483 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
5484 [Ben Laurie]
5485
5486 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
5487 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
5488 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
5489 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
5490
5491 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
5492 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
5493
5494 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
5495 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
5496 [Bodo Moeller]
5497
5498 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
5499 s_client and s_server.
5500 [Ben Laurie]
5501
5502 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
5503 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
5504
5505 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
5506 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
5507
5508 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
5509 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
5510 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
5511 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
5512 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
5513 [Bodo Moeller]
5514
5515 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
5516
5517 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
5518 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
5519 [PR #1679]
5520
5521 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
5522 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
5523 [Nagendra Modadugu]
5524
5525 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
5526 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
5527 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
5528 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
5529
5530 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
5531 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
5532
5533 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
5534
5535 *) Various precautionary measures:
5536
5537 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
5538
5539 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
5540 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
5541 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
5542
5543 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
5544 outside the expected range.
5545
5546 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
5547 builds.
5548
5549 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
5550
5551 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
5552 the load fails. Useful for distros.
5553 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
5554
5555 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
5556 [Steve Henson]
5557
5558 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
5559 [Huang Ying]
5560
5561 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
5562
5563 This work was sponsored by Logica.
5564 [Steve Henson]
5565
5566 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
5567 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
5568 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
5569
5570 This work was sponsored by Logica.
5571 [Steve Henson]
5572
5573 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
5574 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
5575 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
5576 files.
5577 [Steve Henson]
5578
5579 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
5580
5581 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
5582 handshake which could lead to a client crash as found using the
5583 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
5584 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
5585
5586 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
5587 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
5588 [Joe Orton]
5589
5590 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
5591
5592 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
5593 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
5594 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
5595
5596 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
5597
5598 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
5599 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
5600 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
5601 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
5602 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5603
5604 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
5605 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
5606 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
5607 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
5608 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
5609 invalid read after the end of 'db').
5610 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
5611
5612 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
5613
5614 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
5615 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
5616 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
5617 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
5618 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
5619
5620 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
5621 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
5622
5623 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
5624 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
5625 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
5626 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
5627 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
5628
5629 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
5630
5631 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
5632 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
5633 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
5634 sets may exist with different names.
5635 [Steve Henson]
5636
5637 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
5638 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
5639 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
5640 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
5641 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
5642 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
5643 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
5644 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
5645 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
5646 implementation.
5647 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
5648
5649 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
5650 implementation in the following ways:
5651
5652 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
5653 hard coded.
5654
5655 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
5656 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
5657 ignored for embedded content.
5658
5659 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
5660 with the enable-cms configuration option.
5661 [Steve Henson]
5662
5663 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
5664 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
5665 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
5666 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
5667
5668 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
5669 uncompresses any data passed through it.
5670 [Steve Henson]
5671
5672 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
5673 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
5674 [Steve Henson]
5675
5676 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
5677 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
5678 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
5679 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
5680 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
5681 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
5682 data.
5683 [Steve Henson]
5684
5685 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
5686 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
5687 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
5688
5689 *) Netware support:
5690
5691 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
5692 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
5693 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
5694 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
5695 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
5696 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
5697 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
5698 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
5699 platform
5700 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
5701 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
5702 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
5703 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
5704 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
5705 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
5706 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
5707
5708 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
5709 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
5710 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
5711 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
5712 to s_client and s_server.
5713 [Steve Henson]
5714
5715 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
5716
5717 *) Fix various bugs:
5718 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
5719 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
5720 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
5721 + Fix ia64 assembler code
5722 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
5723
5724 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
5725
5726 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
5727 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
5728 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
5729 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
5730 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
5731 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
5732 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
5733 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
5734 [Andy Polyakov]
5735
5736 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
5737 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
5738 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
5739 Steve Henson]
5740
5741 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
5742 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
5743 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
5744 supported.
5745
5746 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
5747 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
5748 SSL_SESSION.
5749
5750 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
5751 protection in servers so again support should be possible
5752 with no application modification.
5753
5754 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
5755 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
5756
5757 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
5758 or server extensions to be examined.
5759
5760 This work was sponsored by Google.
5761 [Steve Henson]
5762
5763 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
5764 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
5765 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
5766 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
5767 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
5768 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
5769 server_name extension.
5770
5771 New functions (subject to change):
5772
5773 SSL_get_servername()
5774 SSL_get_servername_type()
5775 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
5776
5777 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
5778
5779 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
5780 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
5781 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
5782 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
5783 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
5784
5785 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
5786
5787 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
5788 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
5789 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
5790 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
5791 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
5792 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
5793 option.
5794
5795 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
5796
5797 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
5798 [Steve Henson]
5799
5800 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
5801 [Andy Polyakov]
5802
5803 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
5804 (which previously caused an internal error).
5805 [Bodo Moeller]
5806
5807 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
5808 [Ben Laurie]
5809
5810 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
5811 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
5812
5813 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
5814 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
5815 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
5816
5817 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
5818 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
5819 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
5820 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
5821
5822 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5823 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5824 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
5825 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
5826
5827 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
5828 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
5829 information. For detailed background information, see
5830 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
5831 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
5832 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
5833 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
5834 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
5835 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
5836 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
5837 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
5838 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
5839 remove a conditional branch.
5840
5841 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
5842 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
5843 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
5844 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
5845 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
5846 remains as a deprecated alias.
5847
5848 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
5849 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
5850 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
5851 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
5852
5853 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
5854 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
5855 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
5856 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
5857 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
5858 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
5859 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
5860 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
5861
5862 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
5863
5864 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
5865 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
5866 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
5867 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
5868 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
5869 with applications using a single external cache for quite
5870 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
5871 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
5872 in a different context.
5873 [Bodo Moeller]
5874
5875 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5876 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5877 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5878 [Bodo Moeller]
5879
5880 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
5881 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
5882 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
5883
5884 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
5885
5886 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
5887 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
5888 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5889 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
5890 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
5891 [Victor Duchovni]
5892
5893 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
5894 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
5895 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
5896 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
5897 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
5898 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
5899 [Bodo Moeller]
5900
5901 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5902 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5903 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5904 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5905 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5906 [Bodo Moeller]
5907
5908 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
5909 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
5910
5911 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5912 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5913 Improve header file function name parsing.
5914 [Steve Henson]
5915
5916 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
5917 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
5918 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
5919
5920 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
5921
5922 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5923 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5924 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5925
5926 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5927 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5928
5929 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5930 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5931
5932 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5933 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5934 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5935
5936 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
5937 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
5938 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
5939 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
5940 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
5941 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
5942 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
5943 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
5944 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
5945
5946 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
5947 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
5948 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
5949 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
5950 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
5951
5952 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
5953 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
5954 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
5955 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
5956 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
5957 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
5958 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
5959 multiple values to extend the available space.
5960
5961 [Bodo Moeller]
5962
5963 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
5964
5965 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5966 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5967
5968 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
5969 [Ben Laurie]
5970
5971 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5972 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5973 undesirable limitations.
5974 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5975
5976 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
5977 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
5978 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
5979 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
5980 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
5981 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
5982 to avoid potential handshake problems.
5983 [Bodo Moeller]
5984
5985 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5986
5987 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5988 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5989 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5990
5991 The latter two were purportedly from
5992 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5993 appear there.
5994
5995 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
5996 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5997 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5998 [Bodo Moeller]
5999
6000 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
6001 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
6002 [Bodo Moeller]
6003
6004 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
6005 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
6006 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
6007 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
6008
6009 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
6010 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
6011 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
6012 [NTT]
6013
6014 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
6015 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
6016 necessarily true if compression is enabled and can result in false
6017 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
6018 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
6019 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
6020 [Steve Henson]
6021
6022 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
6023
6024 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
6025 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
6026 [Steve Henson]
6027
6028 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
6029 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
6030
6031 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
6032 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
6033 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
6034 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
6035 [Douglas Stebila]
6036
6037 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
6038 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
6039 [Steve Henson]
6040
6041 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
6042 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
6043 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
6044 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
6045 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
6046 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
6047 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
6048 can't be loaded.
6049 [Steve Henson]
6050
6051 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
6052 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
6053 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
6054 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
6055 [Steve Henson]
6056
6057 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
6058 under VC++ build system.
6059 [Steve Henson]
6060
6061 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
6062 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
6063 [Richard Levitte]
6064
6065 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
6066
6067 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
6068 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
6069 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
6070 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
6071 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
6072
6073 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
6074 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
6075 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
6076
6077 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
6078 [Steve Henson]
6079
6080 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
6081 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
6082 [Nils Larsch]
6083
6084 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
6085 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
6086
6087 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
6088 [Nick Mathewson]
6089
6090 *) Extended Windows CE support.
6091 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
6092
6093 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
6094 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
6095 [Steve Henson]
6096
6097 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
6098 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
6099 smime utility.
6100 [Steve Henson]
6101
6102 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
6103
6104 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
6105 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
6106
6107 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
6108 [Richard Levitte]
6109
6110 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
6111 key into the same file any more.
6112 [Richard Levitte]
6113
6114 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
6115 [Andy Polyakov]
6116
6117 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
6118 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
6119
6120 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
6121 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
6122 [Richard Levitte]
6123
6124 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
6125 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
6126 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
6127 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
6128 this only applies when building 'shared'.
6129 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
6130
6131 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
6132 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
6133 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
6134 [Steve Henson]
6135
6136 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
6137 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
6138 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
6139 - add new function for parameter creation
6140 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
6141 BN_BLINDING parameters
6142 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
6143 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
6144 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
6145 threads.
6146 [Nils Larsch]
6147
6148 *) Add support for DTLS.
6149 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
6150
6151 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
6152 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
6153 [Walter Goulet]
6154
6155 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
6156 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
6157 [Nils Larsch]
6158
6159 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
6160 the apps/openssl applications.
6161 [Nils Larsch]
6162
6163 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
6164 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
6165 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
6166 [Ben Laurie]
6167
6168 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
6169 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
6170
6171 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
6172 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
6173
6174 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
6175 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
6176 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
6177 avoid this algorithm.)
6178
6179 [Bodo Moeller]
6180
6181 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
6182 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
6183 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
6184 [Richard Levitte]
6185
6186 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
6187 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
6188 [Andy Polyakov]
6189
6190 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
6191 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
6192 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
6193 pod file:
6194
6195 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
6196
6197 The blank line is mandatory.
6198
6199 [Steve Henson]
6200
6201 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
6202 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
6203 sources.
6204 [Steve Henson]
6205
6206 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
6207 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
6208
6209 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
6210 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
6211 to support policy checking and print out.
6212 [Steve Henson]
6213
6214 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
6215 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
6216 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
6217 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
6218
6219 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
6220 [Geoff Thorpe]
6221
6222 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
6223 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
6224
6225 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
6226 implementation contributed by IBM.
6227 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
6228
6229 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
6230 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
6231 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
6232 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
6233
6234 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
6235 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
6236
6237 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
6238 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
6239 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
6240 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
6241 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
6242 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
6243 [Steve Henson]
6244
6245 *) Reduced header interdependencies by declaring more opaque objects in
6246 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
6247 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
6248 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
6249 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
6250 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
6251 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
6252 [Geoff Thorpe]
6253
6254 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
6255 [Steve Henson]
6256
6257 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
6258 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
6259 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
6260 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
6261 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
6262 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
6263 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
6264 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
6265 [Steve Henson]
6266
6267 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
6268 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
6269 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
6270 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
6271 [Steve Henson]
6272
6273 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
6274 syntax:
6275
6276 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
6277 [Steve Henson]
6278
6279 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
6280 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
6281 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
6282 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
6283 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
6284 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
6285 BN_CTX's "bundling".
6286 [Geoff Thorpe]
6287
6288 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
6289 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
6290 [Geoff Thorpe]
6291
6292 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
6293 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
6294 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
6295 [Steve Henson]
6296
6297 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
6298 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
6299 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
6300 below).
6301 [Geoff Thorpe]
6302
6303 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
6304 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
6305 [Richard Levitte]
6306
6307 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
6308 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
6309 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
6310 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
6311 [Geoff Thorpe]
6312
6313 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
6314 initialised value as BN_new().
6315 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
6316
6317 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
6318 [Steve Henson]
6319
6320 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
6321 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
6322 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
6323 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
6324 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
6325 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
6326 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
6327 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
6328 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
6329 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
6330 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
6331 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
6332 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
6333 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
6334 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
6335
6336 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
6337 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
6338 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
6339 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
6340 [Geoff Thorpe]
6341
6342 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
6343 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
6344 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
6345 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
6346 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
6347 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
6348 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
6349 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
6350 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
6351 [Geoff Thorpe]
6352
6353 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
6354 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
6355 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
6356 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
6357 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
6358 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
6359 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
6360 [Geoff Thorpe]
6361
6362 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
6363 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
6364 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
6365 these have been updated also.
6366 [Geoff Thorpe]
6367
6368 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
6369 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
6370 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
6371 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
6372 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
6373 functions.
6374 [Steve Henson]
6375
6376 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
6377 structure of type "other".
6378 [Steve Henson]
6379
6380 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
6381 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
6382 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
6383 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
6384 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
6385 situation in the script.
6386 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6387
6388 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
6389 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
6390 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
6391 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
6392 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
6393 used as premaster secret.
6394 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6395
6396 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
6397 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
6398 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6399
6400 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
6401 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
6402
6403 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
6404 control of the error stack.
6405 [Richard Levitte]
6406
6407 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
6408 [Richard Levitte]
6409
6410 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
6411 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
6412 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
6413 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
6414 [Richard Levitte]
6415
6416 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
6417 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
6418 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
6419 [Richard Levitte]
6420
6421 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
6422 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
6423 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
6424 a memory area.
6425 [Richard Levitte]
6426
6427 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
6428 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
6429 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
6430 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
6431 [Richard Levitte]
6432
6433 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
6434 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
6435 the following flags are defined:
6436
6437 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
6438 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
6439 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
6440 number.
6441
6442 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
6443 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
6444 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
6445 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
6446 returns zero.
6447 [Richard Levitte]
6448
6449 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
6450 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
6451 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
6452 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
6453 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
6454 [Richard Levitte]
6455
6456 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
6457 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
6458 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
6459 [Richard Levitte]
6460
6461 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6462 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6463 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6464 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6465 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6466 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6467 [Richard Levitte]
6468
6469 *) Generate multi-valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
6470 req and dirName.
6471 [Steve Henson]
6472
6473 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
6474 [Steve Henson]
6475
6476 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
6477 [Steve Henson]
6478
6479 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
6480 [Steve Henson]
6481
6482 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
6483 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
6484 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
6485 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
6486 default implementation more easily.
6487 [Geoff Thorpe]
6488
6489 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
6490 in config files.
6491 [Steve Henson]
6492
6493 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
6494 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
6495 [Richard Levitte]
6496
6497 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
6498 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
6499 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
6500 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
6501
6502 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
6503 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
6504 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
6505 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
6506 [Steve Henson]
6507
6508 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
6509 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
6510 to do it.
6511 [Richard Levitte]
6512
6513 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
6514 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
6515 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
6516 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
6517 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
6518 scalar * generator).
6519 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
6520
6521 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
6522 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
6523 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
6524 correctly.
6525 [Steve Henson]
6526
6527 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
6528 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
6529 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
6530 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
6531 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
6532 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
6533 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
6534 linker additions, eg;
6535 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
6536 [Geoff Thorpe]
6537
6538 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
6539 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
6540 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
6541 [Geoff Thorpe]
6542
6543 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6544 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6545 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
6546 via PR#459)
6547 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6548
6549 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
6550 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
6551 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
6552 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
6553 [Geoff Thorpe]
6554
6555 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
6556 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
6557 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
6558 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
6559 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
6560 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
6561 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
6562 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
6563 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
6564 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
6565
6566 Example for using the new callback interface:
6567
6568 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
6569 void *my_arg = ...;
6570 BN_GENCB my_cb;
6571
6572 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
6573
6574 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
6575 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
6576 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
6577 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
6578 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
6579 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
6580 */
6581
6582 [Geoff Thorpe]
6583
6584 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
6585 available to TLS with the number defined in
6586 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
6587 [Richard Levitte]
6588
6589 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
6590 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
6591
6592 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
6593 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
6594 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
6595 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
6596
6597 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
6598 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
6599
6600 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
6601 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
6602 well.
6603 [Richard Levitte]
6604
6605 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
6606 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
6607 [Richard Levitte]
6608
6609 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
6610 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
6611 and a macro that behave like
6612 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
6613
6614 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
6615 [Nils Larsch]
6616
6617 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
6618 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
6619 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
6620 if applicable.
6621 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6622
6623 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
6624 [Bodo Moeller]
6625
6626 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
6627 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
6628 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
6629 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
6630 directory engines/.
6631 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
6632 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
6633 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
6634 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
6635 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
6636 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
6637 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
6638 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
6639
6640 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
6641 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
6642 [Richard Levitte]
6643
6644 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
6645 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
6646
6647 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
6648 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
6649 files while avoiding the low level API.
6650
6651 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
6652 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
6653 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
6654 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
6655
6656 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
6657 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
6658 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
6659 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
6660 instead of the low level API.
6661 [Steve Henson]
6662
6663 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
6664 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
6665 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
6666 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
6667 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
6668 PKCS#7 code.
6669
6670 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
6671 down to the template encoder.
6672 [Steve Henson]
6673
6674 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
6675 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
6676 [Bodo Moeller]
6677
6678 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
6679 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
6680 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
6681 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6682
6683 *) Add ECDH engine support.
6684 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6685
6686 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
6687 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6688
6689 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
6690 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
6691 [Bodo Moeller]
6692
6693 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
6694 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
6695 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
6696 [Bodo Moeller]
6697
6698 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
6699 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
6700
6701 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6702 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6703
6704 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
6705 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
6706 New EC_METHOD:
6707
6708 EC_GF2m_simple_method
6709
6710 New API functions:
6711
6712 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
6713 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
6714 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
6715 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6716 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6717 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
6718
6719 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
6720 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
6721 enable it).
6722
6723 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
6724 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
6725 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
6726 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
6727 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
6728 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
6729 various internal method names.)
6730
6731 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
6732 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
6733
6734 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6735 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6736
6737 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
6738 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
6739
6740 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
6741 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
6742 methods are undefined.
6743
6744 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6745 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6746
6747 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
6748 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
6749 length of the modulus.
6750
6751 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6752 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6753
6754 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
6755 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
6756
6757 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6758 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6759
6760 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
6761 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
6762 used) in the following functions [macros]:
6763
6764 BN_GF2m_add
6765 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
6766 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
6767 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
6768 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
6769 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
6770 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
6771 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
6772 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
6773 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
6774
6775 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
6776 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
6777
6778 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
6779 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
6780 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
6781 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
6782 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
6783 where
6784 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
6785 This applies to the following functions:
6786
6787 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
6788 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
6789 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
6790 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
6791 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
6792 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
6793 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
6794 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
6795 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6796 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6797
6798 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
6799
6800 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6801 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6802
6803 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
6804
6805 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
6806 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
6807 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
6808 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
6809 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
6810
6811 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6812 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6813
6814 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
6815 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
6816 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
6817
6818 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
6819 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
6820
6821 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
6822 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
6823 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
6824 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
6825 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6826
6827 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
6828 functions
6829 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
6830 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
6831 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
6832 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
6833 These control ASN1 encoding details:
6834 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
6835 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
6836 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
6837 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
6838 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
6839 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
6840 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
6841
6842 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
6843 functions
6844 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
6845 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
6846 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
6847 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
6848 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6849
6850 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
6851 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
6852 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
6853 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6854
6855 *) Add functions
6856 EC_POINT_point2bn()
6857 EC_POINT_bn2point()
6858 EC_POINT_point2hex()
6859 EC_POINT_hex2point()
6860 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
6861 EC_POINT_oct2point().
6862 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6863
6864 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
6865 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
6866 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
6867 EC_GROUP_get_order()
6868 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
6869 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
6870 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
6871 adding different types of curves.
6872 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
6873
6874 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
6875 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
6876 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
6877 [Bodo Moeller]
6878
6879 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
6880 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
6881
6882 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
6883 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
6884 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
6885 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6886
6887 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
6888
6889 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
6890 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
6891
6892 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
6893 library. Most notably,
6894 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
6895 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
6896 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
6897 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
6898 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
6899 extracted before the specific public key;
6900 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
6901 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6902
6903 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
6904 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
6905 function
6906 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
6907 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
6908 EC_get_builtin_curves().
6909 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
6910 accessed via
6911 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
6912 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
6913 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
6914
6915 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6916 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6917 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6918 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6919 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6920 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6921 differing sizes.
6922 [Richard Levitte]
6923
6924 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
6925
6926 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
6927 sensitive data.
6928 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
6929
6930 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
6931 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
6932 authentication-only ciphersuites.
6933 [Bodo Moeller]
6934
6935 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
6936 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
6937 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
6938 [Victor Duchovni]
6939
6940 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
6941 [Steve Henson]
6942
6943 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
6944 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
6945 [Steve Henson]
6946
6947 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
6948 run algorithm test programs.
6949 [Steve Henson]
6950
6951 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
6952 [Steve Henson]
6953
6954 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
6955 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
6956 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
6957 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
6958 message has informed the client about his choice.)
6959 [Bodo Moeller]
6960
6961 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
6962 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
6963 [Steve Henson]
6964
6965 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
6966
6967 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
6968 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
6969 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6970
6971 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
6972 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
6973
6974 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
6975 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6976
6977 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
6978 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
6979 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6980
6981 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
6982 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
6983 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
6984 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
6985 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
6986 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
6987 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
6988 [Bodo Moeller]
6989
6990 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
6991
6992 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
6993 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
6994
6995 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
6996 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
6997 undesirable limitations.
6998 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6999
7000 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
7001
7002 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
7003 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
7004 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
7005
7006 The latter two were purportedly from
7007 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
7008 appear there.
7009
7010 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
7011 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
7012 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
7013 [Bodo Moeller]
7014
7015 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
7016 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
7017 [Bodo Moeller]
7018
7019 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
7020
7021 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
7022 module in FIPS mode.
7023 [Steve Henson]
7024
7025 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
7026 [Steve Henson]
7027
7028 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
7029 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
7030 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
7031 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
7032 [Steve Henson]
7033
7034 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
7035
7036 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
7037 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
7038 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
7039 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
7040 the difference induced by this change.
7041 [Andy Polyakov]
7042
7043 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
7044
7045 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
7046 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
7047 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
7048 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
7049 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
7050
7051 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
7052 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
7053 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
7054
7055 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
7056 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
7057 [Steve Henson]
7058
7059 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
7060 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
7061 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
7062 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
7063 biased k.)
7064 [Bodo Moeller]
7065
7066 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
7067 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
7068 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
7069 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
7070 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
7071
7072 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
7073 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
7074 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
7075 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
7076 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
7077 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
7078
7079 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
7080
7081 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
7082 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
7083 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
7084 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
7085 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
7086 [Bodo Moeller]
7087
7088 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
7089 clients need.
7090 [Steve Henson]
7091
7092 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
7093 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
7094 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
7095 [Steve Henson]
7096
7097 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
7098 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
7099 structures constant.
7100 [Steve Henson]
7101
7102 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
7103
7104 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
7105 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
7106
7107 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
7108 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
7109 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
7110 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
7111 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
7112 some needed definitions.
7113 [Steve Henson]
7114
7115 *) Undo Cygwin change.
7116 [Ulf Möller]
7117
7118 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
7119 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
7120 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
7121 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
7122 [Richard Levitte]
7123
7124 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
7125
7126 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
7127 server and client random values. Previously
7128 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
7129 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
7130
7131 This change has negligible security impact because:
7132
7133 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
7134 data.
7135
7136 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
7137 handshake.
7138
7139 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
7140 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
7141 values.
7142
7143 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
7144 to our attention.
7145
7146 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
7147
7148 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
7149 [Ulf Möller]
7150
7151 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
7152 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
7153 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
7154
7155 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
7156 [Steve Henson]
7157
7158 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
7159 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
7160 [Andy Polyakov]
7161
7162 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
7163 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
7164 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
7165
7166 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
7167 [Steve Henson]
7168
7169 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
7170 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
7171 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
7172 certificates.
7173 [Steve Henson]
7174
7175 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
7176 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
7177 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
7178 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
7179
7180 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
7181 has chosen to ignore this fault)
7182 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
7183 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
7184 been given)
7185 [Richard Levitte]
7186
7187 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
7188
7189 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
7190 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
7191 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
7192 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
7193 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
7194 [Steve Henson]
7195
7196 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
7197 [Steve Henson]
7198
7199 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
7200 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
7201
7202 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
7203 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
7204 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
7205 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
7206 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
7207 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
7208 rather than being initialized to 1.
7209 [Steve Henson]
7210
7211 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
7212
7213 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
7214 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
7215 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7216
7217 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
7218 (CVE-2004-0112)
7219 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7220
7221 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
7222 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
7223 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
7224 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
7225 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
7226 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
7227 [Richard Levitte]
7228
7229 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
7230 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
7231 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
7232 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
7233 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
7234 for these cases.
7235 [Steve Henson]
7236
7237 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
7238 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
7239 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
7240 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
7241 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
7242 [Steve Henson]
7243
7244 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
7245 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
7246 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
7247 < 0.9.7.
7248 [Steve Henson]
7249
7250 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
7251 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
7252
7253 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
7254 [Steve Henson]
7255
7256 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
7257
7258 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
7259
7260 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
7261 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
7262
7263 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
7264
7265 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
7266 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
7267
7268 [Steve Henson]
7269
7270 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
7271 exiting on the first error in a request.
7272 [Steve Henson]
7273
7274 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
7275 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
7276 specifications.
7277 [Steve Henson]
7278
7279 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
7280 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
7281 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
7282 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
7283
7284 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
7285 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
7286 [Richard Levitte]
7287
7288 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
7289 blocks during encryption.
7290 [Richard Levitte]
7291
7292 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
7293 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
7294 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
7295 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
7296 certain size.
7297 [Steve Henson]
7298
7299 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
7300 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
7301 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
7302 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
7303 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
7304 parser.
7305 [Steve Henson]
7306
7307 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
7308
7309 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
7310 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
7311 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
7312 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
7313 [Bodo Moeller]
7314
7315 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
7316 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
7317 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
7318 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
7319 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7320
7321 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
7322 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
7323 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
7324 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
7325 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
7326 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
7327 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
7328 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
7329 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
7330 [Bodo Moeller]
7331
7332 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
7333 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
7334 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
7335 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
7336 [Geoff Thorpe]
7337
7338 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
7339 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
7340 [Ulf Moeller]
7341
7342 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
7343
7344 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
7345 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
7346 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
7347 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
7348 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
7349
7350 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
7351 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
7352 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
7353
7354 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
7355 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
7356 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
7357 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
7358 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
7359
7360 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have its
7361 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
7362 used by default when no-err is given.
7363 [Richard Levitte]
7364
7365 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
7366 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
7367
7368 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
7369 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
7370 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
7371 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
7372 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
7373
7374 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
7375 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
7376 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
7377 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
7378
7379 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
7380
7381 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
7382
7383 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
7384
7385 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
7386 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
7387 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
7388 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
7389 root is omitted).
7390 [Steve Henson]
7391
7392 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
7393 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
7394
7395 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
7396 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
7397 [Steve Henson]
7398
7399 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
7400 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
7401 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
7402 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
7403 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7404
7405 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
7406 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
7407 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
7408 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
7409 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
7410 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
7411 followup to PR #377.
7412 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7413
7414 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
7415 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
7416 [Andy Polyakov]
7417
7418 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
7419 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
7420 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
7421 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
7422
7423 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
7424
7425 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
7426 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
7427
7428 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
7429 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
7430 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
7431 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
7432 client and server.
7433 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
7434 PR #377.
7435 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7436
7437 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
7438 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
7439 removed entirely.
7440 [Richard Levitte]
7441
7442 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
7443 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
7444 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
7445 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
7446 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
7447 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
7448 of libcrypto.
7449 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
7450 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
7451 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
7452 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
7453 have to be made anyway).
7454 [Richard Levitte]
7455
7456 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
7457 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
7458 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
7459 [Steve Henson]
7460
7461 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
7462 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
7463 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
7464 [Richard Levitte]
7465
7466 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
7467 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
7468 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
7469
7470 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
7471 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
7472 edit numbers of the version.
7473 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
7474
7475 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
7476 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
7477 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
7478
7479 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
7480 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7481
7482 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
7483 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
7484 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7485
7486 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
7487 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7488
7489 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
7490 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7491
7492 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
7493 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7494
7495 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
7496 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7497
7498 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
7499 overflows.
7500 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7501
7502 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
7503 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
7504 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7505
7506 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
7507 representations in a platform independent manner.
7508 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7509
7510 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
7511 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
7512 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7513
7514 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
7515 indents.
7516 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7517
7518 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
7519 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7520
7521 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
7522 full. Fixed.
7523 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7524
7525 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
7526 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
7527 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7528
7529 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
7530 unconditionally).
7531 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7532
7533 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
7534 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7535
7536 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
7537 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7538
7539 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
7540 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7541
7542 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
7543 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7544
7545 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
7546 CBCParameter.
7547 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7548
7549 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
7550 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7551
7552 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
7553 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7554
7555 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
7556 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
7557 exploitable.
7558 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7559
7560 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
7561 the 0.9.6 release series:
7562
7563 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
7564 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
7565 (CVE-2002-0657)
7566 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7567
7568 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
7569 [Richard Levitte]
7570
7571 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
7572 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
7573
7574 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
7575 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
7576
7577 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
7578 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
7579 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
7580 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
7581
7582 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
7583 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
7584 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
7585
7586 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
7587 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
7588 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
7589 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
7590
7591 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
7592 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
7593 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
7594 some local tweaks:
7595
7596 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
7597 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
7598 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
7599 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
7600 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
7601 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
7602 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
7603 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
7604 done
7605
7606 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
7607 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
7608 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
7609 [Richard Levitte]
7610
7611 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
7612 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
7613 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
7614 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
7615 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
7616
7617 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
7618 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
7619
7620 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
7621 error in AES-CFB decryption.
7622 [Richard Levitte]
7623
7624 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
7625 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
7626 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
7627 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
7628 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
7629 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
7630 [Steve Henson]
7631
7632 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
7633 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
7634 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
7635 [Steve Henson]
7636
7637 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
7638 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
7639 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7640
7641 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
7642 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
7643 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
7644 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
7645 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
7646 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
7647 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
7648 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7649
7650 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
7651 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
7652 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
7653 ENGINE is initialized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
7654 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
7655 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be initialized at all.
7656 [Steve Henson]
7657
7658 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
7659 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
7660 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
7661 declaration has been changed from
7662 int (*cb)()
7663 into
7664 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
7665 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
7666 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
7667 has been changed into
7668 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
7669
7670 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
7671 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
7672 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
7673
7674 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
7675 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
7676
7677 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
7678 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
7679 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
7680 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
7681 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
7682 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
7683 always load it have also been added.
7684 [Steve Henson]
7685
7686 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
7687 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
7688 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
7689
7690 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
7691
7692 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
7693 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
7694 because it couldn't be used for anything.
7695
7696 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
7697 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
7698 command line option can be used to specify an
7699 alternative file.
7700 [Steve Henson]
7701
7702 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
7703 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
7704 [Steve Henson]
7705
7706 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
7707 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
7708 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
7709 [Steve Henson]
7710
7711 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
7712 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
7713 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
7714 to work with the new engine framework.
7715 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
7716
7717 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
7718 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
7719 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
7720 to work with the new engine framework.
7721 [Richard Levitte]
7722
7723 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
7724 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
7725 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
7726
7727 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
7728 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
7729
7730 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
7731 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
7732 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
7733 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
7734 FORMAT_IISSGC.
7735 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7736
7737 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
7738 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7739
7740 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
7741 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
7742
7743 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
7744 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
7745 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
7746 [Ben Laurie]
7747
7748 *) Add new functions
7749 ERR_peek_last_error
7750 ERR_peek_last_error_line
7751 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
7752 These are similar to
7753 ERR_peek_error
7754 ERR_peek_error_line
7755 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
7756 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
7757 still in the error queue.
7758 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
7759
7760 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
7761 like:
7762 default_algorithms = ALL
7763 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
7764 [Steve Henson]
7765
7766 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
7767 [Steve Henson]
7768
7769 *) New experimental application configuration code.
7770 [Steve Henson]
7771
7772 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
7773 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
7774 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
7775 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
7776
7777 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
7778 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
7779
7780 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
7781 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7782
7783 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
7784 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
7785 [Bodo Moeller]
7786
7787 *) New functions/macros
7788
7789 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
7790 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
7791 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
7792 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
7793
7794 to request calling a callback function
7795
7796 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
7797 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
7798
7799 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
7800 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
7801 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
7802 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
7803 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
7804 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
7805 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
7806 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
7807 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
7808 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
7809
7810 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
7811 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
7812 [Bodo Moeller]
7813
7814 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
7815 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
7816 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
7817 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
7818 the configuration scripts.
7819
7820 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
7821 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
7822 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
7823
7824 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
7825 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
7826
7827 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
7828 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
7829 when reusing an existing buffer.
7830 [Bodo Moeller]
7831
7832 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
7833 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
7834 [Steve Henson]
7835
7836 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
7837 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
7838 [Ben Laurie]
7839
7840 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
7841 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
7842 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
7843 has the same effect.
7844 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7845
7846 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
7847 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
7848 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
7849 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
7850 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
7851 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
7852 exception.
7853
7854 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
7855 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
7856 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
7857 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
7858
7859 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
7860 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
7861 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
7862 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
7863
7864 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
7865 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
7866 won't work.
7867
7868 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
7869 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
7870 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
7871 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
7872 default), and then completely removed.
7873 [Richard Levitte]
7874
7875 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
7876 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
7877 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
7878 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
7879 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
7880 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
7881 particular extension is supported.
7882 [Steve Henson]
7883
7884 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
7885 to retain compatibility with existing code.
7886 [Steve Henson]
7887
7888 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
7889 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
7890 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
7891 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
7892 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
7893 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
7894 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
7895 requires the destination to be valid.
7896
7897 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
7898 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
7899 [Steve Henson]
7900
7901 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
7902 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
7903 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
7904 [Bodo Moeller]
7905
7906 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
7907 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
7908
7909 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
7910 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
7911 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
7912 of specific crypto interfaces. This change also introduces integrated
7913 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
7914 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
7915 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
7916 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
7917 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
7918 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
7919 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
7920 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
7921 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
7922 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
7923 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
7924 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
7925 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
7926 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
7927 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
7928 the new code.
7929 [Geoff Thorpe]
7930
7931 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
7932 [Steve Henson]
7933
7934 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
7935 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
7936 become part of libeay.num as well.
7937 [Richard Levitte]
7938
7939 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
7940 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
7941 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
7942 false once a handshake has been completed.
7943 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
7944 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
7945 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
7946 client has followed the request.)
7947 [Bodo Moeller]
7948
7949 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
7950 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
7951 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
7952 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
7953
7954 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
7955 more bits available for options that should not be part of
7956 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
7957 [Bodo Moeller]
7958
7959 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
7960 [Steve Henson]
7961
7962 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
7963 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
7964 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
7965 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7966
7967 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
7968 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
7969 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7970
7971 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
7972 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
7973 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
7974 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
7975 [Geoff Thorpe]
7976
7977 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
7978 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
7979 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
7980 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
7981 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
7982 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
7983 [Geoff Thorpe]
7984
7985 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
7986 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
7987 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
7988 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
7989 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
7990 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
7991 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
7992 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
7993 [Geoff Thorpe]
7994
7995 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
7996 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
7997 [Geoff Thorpe]
7998
7999 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
8000 [Ben Laurie]
8001
8002 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
8003 md_data void pointer.
8004 [Ben Laurie]
8005
8006 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
8007 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
8008 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
8009 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
8010 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
8011 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
8012 [Ben Laurie]
8013
8014 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
8015 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
8016 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
8017 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
8018 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
8019 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
8020 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
8021 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
8022 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
8023 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
8024 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
8025 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
8026 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
8027 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
8028 rather than letting it slide.
8029
8030 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
8031 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
8032 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
8033 [Geoff Thorpe]
8034
8035 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
8036 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
8037 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
8038 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
8039 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
8040 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
8041 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
8042 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
8043 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
8044 [Geoff Thorpe]
8045
8046 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
8047 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
8048 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
8049 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
8050 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
8051
8052 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
8053 [Geoff Thorpe]
8054
8055 *) Add EVP test program.
8056 [Ben Laurie]
8057
8058 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
8059 [Ben Laurie]
8060
8061 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
8062 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
8063 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
8064 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
8065 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
8066 [Steve Henson]
8067
8068 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
8069 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
8070 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
8071 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
8072 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
8073 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
8074 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
8075
8076 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
8077 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
8078 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
8079 Usage example:
8080
8081 EVP_MD_CTX md;
8082
8083 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
8084 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
8085 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
8086 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
8087 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
8088
8089 [Ben Laurie]
8090
8091 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
8092 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
8093 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
8094 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
8095 anyway): E.g.,
8096
8097 des_key_schedule ks;
8098
8099 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
8100 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
8101
8102 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
8103 [Ben Laurie]
8104
8105 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
8106 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
8107 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
8108 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
8109 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
8110 functions prevents this.
8111 [Steve Henson]
8112
8113 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
8114 [Ben Laurie]
8115
8116 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
8117 correct _ecb suffix.
8118 [Ben Laurie]
8119
8120 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
8121 revocation information is handled using the text based index
8122 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
8123 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
8124 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
8125 [Steve Henson]
8126
8127 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
8128 [Richard Levitte]
8129
8130 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
8131 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
8132 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
8133 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
8134
8135 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
8136 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
8137
8138 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
8139 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
8140 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
8141 via Richard Levitte]
8142
8143 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
8144 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
8145 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
8146 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
8147 [Geoff Thorpe]
8148
8149 *) Speed up EVP routines.
8150 Before:
8151 encrypt

8165 [Ben Laurie]
8166
8167 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
8168 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
8169
8170 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
8171 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
8172 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
8173 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
8174 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
8175 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
8176 [Steve Henson]
8177
8178 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
8179 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
8180 [Richard Levitte]
8181
8182 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
8183 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
8184 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
8185 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
8186
8187 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
8188 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
8189 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
8190 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
8191 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
8192 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
8193 callback.
8194 [Richard Levitte]
8195
8196 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
8197 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
8198 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
8199 and interrupts/cancellations.
8200 [Richard Levitte]
8201
8202 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
8203 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
8204 [Steve Henson]
8205
8206 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
8207 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
8208 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
8209
8210 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
8211 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
8212 kind of callback.
8213 [Richard Levitte]
8214
8215 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
8216 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
8217 than this minimum value is recommended.
8218 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8219
8220 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
8221 that are easily reachable.
8222 [Richard Levitte]
8223
8224 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
8225 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
8226
8227 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
8228
8229 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
8230 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
8231 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
8232 needed for static libraries under Win32.
8233 [Steve Henson]
8234
8235 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
8236 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
8237 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
8238 [Steve Henson]
8239
8240 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
8241 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
8242 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
8243 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
8244 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
8245 internally such as S/MIME.
8246
8247 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
8248 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
8249 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
8250
8251 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
8252 applications.
8253 [Steve Henson]
8254
8255 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
8256 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
8257 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
8258 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
8259
8260 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
8261
8262 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
8263
8264 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
8265 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
8266 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
8267 handling.
8268 [Steve Henson]
8269
8270 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
8271 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
8272 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
8273 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
8274 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
8275 a window system and the like.
8276 [Richard Levitte]
8277
8278 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
8279 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
8280 [Geoff]
8281
8282 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
8283 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
8284 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
8285 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
8286 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
8287 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
8288 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
8289 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
8290 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
8291 ENGINE structure.
8292 [Geoff]
8293
8294 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
8295 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
8296 tag cache.
8297 [Steve Henson]
8298
8299 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
8300 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
8301 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
8302 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
8303 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
8304 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
8305 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
8306 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
8307 [Geoff]
8308
8309 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
8310 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
8311 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
8312 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
8313 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
8314 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
8315 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
8316 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
8317 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
8318 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
8319 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
8320 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
8321 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
8322 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
8323 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
8324 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
8325 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
8326 [Geoff]
8327
8328 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
8329 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
8330 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
8331 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
8332 internal engine_int.h header.
8333 [Geoff]
8334
8335 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
8336 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
8337 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
8338 modify their own ones).
8339 [Geoff]
8340
8341 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
8342 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
8343 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
8344 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
8345 later on via ctrl() commands.
8346 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
8347 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
8348 structural references.
8349 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
8350 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
8351 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
8352 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
8353 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
8354 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
8355 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
8356 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
8357 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
8358 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
8359 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
8360 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
8361 [Geoff]
8362
8363 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
8364 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
8365 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
8366 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
8367 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
8368 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
8369 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
8370 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
8371 [Bodo Moeller]
8372
8373 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
8374 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
8375 [Steve Henson]
8376
8377 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
8378 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
8379 [Steve Henson]
8380
8381 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
8382 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
8383 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
8384 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
8385 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
8386 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
8387 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
8388 [Steve Henson]
8389
8390 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
8391 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
8392 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
8393 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
8394 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
8395
8396 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
8397 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
8398 generator).
8399 [Bodo Moeller]
8400
8401 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
8402
8403 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
8404 operations and provides various method functions that can also
8405 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
8406
8407 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
8408 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
8409
8410 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
8411 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
8412 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
8413
8414 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
8415 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
8416
8417 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
8418 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
8419
8420 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
8421
8422 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
8423 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
8424 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
8425 [Bodo Moeller]
8426
8427 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
8428 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
8429 [Richard Levitte]
8430
8431 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
8432 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
8433 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
8434 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
8435 is 40 of more characters long.
8436 [Steve Henson]
8437
8438 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
8439 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
8440 pointers.
8441 [Steve Henson]
8442
8443 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
8444 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
8445 [Bodo Moeller]
8446
8447 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
8448 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
8449 might.
8450 [Steve Henson]
8451
8452 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
8453
8454 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
8455 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
8456
8457 ASN1 error codes
8458 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
8459 ...
8460 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
8461 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
8462 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
8463 ...
8464 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
8465 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
8466
8467 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
8468 [Bodo Moeller]
8469
8470 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
8471 suffices.
8472 [Bodo Moeller]
8473
8474 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
8475 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
8476 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
8477 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
8478 and
8479 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
8480
8481 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
8482 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
8483
8484 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
8485 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
8486 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
8487 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
8488 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
8489 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
8490
8491 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
8492 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
8493
8494 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
8495 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
8496
8497 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
8498 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
8499
8500 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
8501 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
8502 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
8503 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
8504
8505 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
8506 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
8507
8508 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
8509 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
8510
8511 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
8512 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
8513 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
8514 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
8515 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
8516 [Richard Levitte]
8517
8518 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
8519 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
8520 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
8521 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
8522 [Steve Henson]
8523
8524 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
8525 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
8526 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
8527 trust settings.
8528 [Steve Henson]
8529
8530 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
8531 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
8532 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
8533 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
8534 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
8535 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
8536 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
8537 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
8538 ocsp utility.
8539 [Steve Henson]
8540
8541 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
8542 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
8543 [Steve Henson]
8544
8545 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
8546 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
8547 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
8548 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
8549 [Steve Henson]
8550
8551 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
8552 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
8553 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
8554 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
8555 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
8556 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
8557 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
8558 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
8559 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
8560 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
8561 [Steve Henson]
8562
8563 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
8564 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
8565 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
8566 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
8567 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
8568 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
8569 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
8570 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8571
8572 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
8573 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
8574 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
8575 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
8576 [Richard Levitte]
8577
8578 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
8579 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
8580 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
8581 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
8582 opensslconf.h.
8583 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
8584 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
8585 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
8586 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
8587 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
8588 what is available.
8589 [Richard Levitte]
8590
8591 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
8592 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
8593 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
8594 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
8595 auto incremented.
8596 [Steve Henson]
8597
8598 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
8599 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
8600 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
8601 [Steve Henson]
8602
8603 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
8604 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
8605 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
8606 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
8607 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
8608 [Steve Henson]
8609
8610 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
8611 [Steve Henson]
8612
8613 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
8614 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
8615 option to ocsp utility.
8616 [Steve Henson]
8617
8618 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
8619 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
8620 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
8621 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
8622 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
8623 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
8624 the request is nonce-less.
8625 [Steve Henson]
8626
8627 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
8628 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
8629 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
8630 [Bodo Moeller]
8631
8632 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
8633 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
8634 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
8635 [Steve Henson]
8636
8637 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
8638 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
8639 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
8640 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
8641 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
8642 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8643
8644 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
8645 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
8646 appear to exist.
8647 [Steve Henson]
8648
8649 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
8650 additional certificates supplied.
8651 [Steve Henson]
8652
8653 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
8654 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
8655 signature against.
8656 [Richard Levitte]
8657
8658 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
8659 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
8660 AES OIDs.
8661
8662 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
8663 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
8664 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
8665 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
8666 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
8667 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
8668 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
8669 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
8670 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
8671
8672 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
8673 request to response.
8674 [Steve Henson]
8675
8676 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
8677 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
8678 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
8679 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
8680 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
8681 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
8682 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
8683 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
8684 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
8685 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
8686 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
8687 [Steve Henson]
8688
8689 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
8690 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
8691 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
8692 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
8693 [Steve Henson]
8694
8695 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
8696 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8697
8698 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
8699 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
8700 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
8701 [Steve Henson]
8702
8703 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
8704 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
8705 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
8706 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8707 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8708
8709 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
8710 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
8711 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
8712 [Steve Henson]
8713
8714 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
8715 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
8716 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
8717 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
8718 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
8719 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
8720 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8721 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8722
8723 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
8724 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
8725 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
8726 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
8727 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
8728 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
8729 [Steve Henson]
8730
8731 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
8732 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
8733 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
8734 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
8735 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
8736 printout format cleaned up.
8737 [Steve Henson]
8738
8739 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
8740 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
8741 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
8742 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
8743 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
8744 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
8745 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
8746 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
8747 [Steve Henson]
8748
8749 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
8750 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
8751 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
8752 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
8753 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
8754 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
8755 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
8756 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
8757 [Steve Henson]
8758
8759 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
8760 extensions from a separate configuration file.
8761 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
8762 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
8763 section to use.
8764 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8765
8766 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
8767 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
8768 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
8769 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
8770 [Steve Henson]
8771
8772 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
8773 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
8774 the given serial number (according to the index file).
8775 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
8776 in the index file.
8777 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8778
8779 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
8780 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
8781 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
8782 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8783
8784 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
8785 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
8786
8787 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
8788 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
8789 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
8790 [Steve Henson]
8791
8792 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
8793 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
8794 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
8795 [Bodo Moeller]
8796
8797 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
8798 file name and line number information in additional arguments
8799 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
8800 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
8801 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
8802 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
8803 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
8804 functions are provided:
8805
8806 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
8807 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
8808 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
8809 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
8810
8811 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
8812 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
8813 extended allocation function is enabled.
8814 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
8815 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
8816 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
8817
8818 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
8819 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
8820 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
8821 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
8822 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
8823 [Geoff Thorpe]
8824
8825 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
8826 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
8827 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
8828 be queried.
8829 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
8830 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
8831 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
8832 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8833
8834 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
8835 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
8836 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
8837 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
8838 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
8839 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
8840 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
8841 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
8842 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
8843 [Richard Levitte]
8844
8845 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
8846 provide utility functions which an application needing
8847 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
8848 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
8849 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
8850
8851 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
8852 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
8853 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
8854 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
8855 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
8856 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
8857 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
8858 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
8859 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
8860
8861 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
8862 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
8863 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
8864 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
8865 [Steve Henson]
8866
8867 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
8868 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
8869 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
8870 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
8871 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
8872 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
8873 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
8874 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
8875 will be added elsewhere.
8876 [Steve Henson]
8877
8878 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
8879 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
8880 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
8881 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
8882 [Steve Henson]
8883
8884 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
8885 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
8886 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
8887 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
8888 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
8889 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
8890 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
8891 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
8892 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
8893 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
8894 to produce the required SET OF.
8895 [Steve Henson]
8896
8897 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
8898 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
8899 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
8900 [Richard Levitte]
8901
8902 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
8903 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
8904 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
8905 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
8906 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
8907 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
8908 [Steve Henson]
8909
8910 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
8911 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
8912 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
8913 [Steve Henson]
8914
8915 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
8916 lines, recognize more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
8917 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
8918 [Richard Levitte]
8919
8920 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
8921 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
8922 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
8923 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
8924 code will still work when these eventually go away.
8925 [Steve Henson]
8926
8927 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
8928 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
8929 [Steve Henson]
8930
8931 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
8932 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
8933 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
8934 certificates and CRLs.
8935 [Steve Henson]
8936
8937 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
8938 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
8939 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
8940 [Steve Henson]
8941
8942 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
8943 entries for variables.
8944 [Steve Henson]
8945
8946 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
8947 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
8948 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
8949 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
8950 [Bodo Moeller]
8951
8952 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
8953 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
8954 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
8955 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
8956 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
8957 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
8958 [Bodo Moeller]
8959
8960 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
8961 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
8962
8963 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
8964 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
8965 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
8966 [Steve Henson]
8967
8968 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
8969 print routines.
8970 [Steve Henson]
8971
8972 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
8973 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
8974 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
8975 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
8976 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
8977 order did not reflect the encoded order.
8978 [Steve Henson]
8979
8980 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
8981 [Steve Henson]
8982
8983 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
8984 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
8985 for now but they will eventually go away.
8986 [Steve Henson]
8987
8988 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
8989 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
8990 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
8991 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
8992 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
8993 has also been converted to the new form.
8994 [Steve Henson]
8995
8996 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
8997 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
8998 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
8999 for negative moduli.
9000 [Bodo Moeller]
9001
9002 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
9003 of not touching the result's sign bit.
9004 [Bodo Moeller]
9005
9006 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
9007 set.
9008 [Bodo Moeller]
9009
9010 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
9011 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
9012 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
9013 type-specific callbacks.
9014 [Geoff Thorpe]
9015
9016 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
9017 RFC 2712.
9018 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
9019 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
9020
9021 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
9022 in sections depending on the subject.
9023 [Richard Levitte]
9024
9025 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
9026 Windows.
9027 [Richard Levitte]
9028
9029 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
9030 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
9031 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
9032 be handled deterministically).
9033 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
9034
9035 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
9036 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
9037 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
9038 [Bodo Moeller]
9039
9040 *) New function BN_kronecker.
9041 [Bodo Moeller]
9042
9043 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
9044 positive unless both parameters are zero.
9045 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
9046 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
9047 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
9048 [Bodo Moeller]
9049
9050 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
9051 sign of the number in question.
9052
9053 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
9054
9055 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
9056 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
9057 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
9058 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
9059 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
9060 [Bodo Moeller]
9061
9062 *) New function BN_swap.
9063 [Bodo Moeller]
9064
9065 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
9066 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
9067 results on negative inputs.
9068 [Bodo Moeller]
9069
9070 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
9071 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
9072 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
9073 [Bodo Moeller]
9074
9075 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
9076 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
9077 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
9078 and add new functions:
9079
9080 BN_nnmod
9081 BN_mod_sqr
9082 BN_mod_add
9083 BN_mod_add_quick
9084 BN_mod_sub
9085 BN_mod_sub_quick
9086 BN_mod_lshift1
9087 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
9088 BN_mod_lshift
9089 BN_mod_lshift_quick
9090
9091 These functions always generate non-negative results.
9092
9093 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
9094 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
9095
9096 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
9097 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
9098 be reduced modulo m.
9099 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
9100
9101 #if 0
9102 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
9103 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
9104 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
9105
9106 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
9107 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
9108 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
9109 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
9110 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
9111 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
9112 differing sizes.
9113 [Richard Levitte]
9114 #endif
9115
9116 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
9117 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
9118 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
9119 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
9120 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
9121
9122 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
9123 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
9124 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
9125 cause any problems.
9126 [Bodo Moeller]
9127
9128 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
9129 [Richard Levitte]
9130
9131 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
9132 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
9133 [Richard Levitte]
9134
9135 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
9136 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
9137 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
9138 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
9139 time)
9140 [Richard Levitte]
9141
9142 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
9143 [Richard Levitte]
9144
9145 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
9146 [Richard Levitte]
9147
9148 *) Add the following functions:
9149
9150 ENGINE_load_cswift()
9151 ENGINE_load_chil()
9152 ENGINE_load_atalla()
9153 ENGINE_load_nuron()
9154 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
9155
9156 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
9157 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
9158 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
9159 libraries unless it's really needed.
9160
9161 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
9162 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
9163 declarations (they differed!).
9164 [Richard Levitte]
9165
9166 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
9167 [Richard Levitte]
9168
9169 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
9170 [Richard Levitte]
9171
9172 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
9173 [Bodo Moeller]
9174
9175 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
9176 identity, and test if they are actually available.
9177 [Richard Levitte]
9178
9179 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
9180 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
9181 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
9182
9183 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
9184 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
9185 [Richard Levitte]
9186
9187 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
9188 [Richard Levitte]
9189
9190 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
9191 [Richard Levitte]
9192
9193 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
9194 [Ben Laurie]
9195
9196 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
9197 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
9198 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
9199
9200 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
9201 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
9202 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
9203 different shared library filenames on each system.
9204 [Geoff Thorpe]
9205
9206 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
9207 [Richard Levitte]
9208
9209 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
9210 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
9211 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
9212 of two sections.
9213 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
9214
9215 *) NCONF changes.
9216 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
9217 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
9218 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
9219 binary backward compatibility.
9220 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
9221 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
9222 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
9223 LDAP server.
9224 [Richard Levitte]
9225
9226 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
9227 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
9228 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
9229 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
9230 this case.
9231 [Steve Henson]
9232
9233 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
9234 [Ben Laurie]
9235
9236 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
9237 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
9238 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
9239 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
9240 set.
9241 [Steve Henson]
9242
9243 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
9244 [Richard Levitte]
9245
9246 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
9247
9248 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
9249 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
9250 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
9251
9252 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
9253
9254 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
9255
9256 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
9257 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
9258 [Steve Henson]
9259
9260 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
9261
9262 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
9263
9264 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
9265 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
9266
9267 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
9268 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
9269
9270 [Steve Henson]
9271
9272 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
9273 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
9274 specifications.
9275 [Steve Henson]
9276
9277 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
9278 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
9279 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
9280 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
9281
9282 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
9283 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
9284 [Richard Levitte]
9285
9286 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
9287
9288 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
9289 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
9290 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
9291 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
9292 [Bodo Moeller]
9293
9294 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
9295 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
9296 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
9297 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
9298 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
9299
9300 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
9301 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
9302 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
9303 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
9304 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
9305 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
9306 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
9307 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
9308 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
9309 [Bodo Moeller]
9310
9311 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
9312
9313 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
9314 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
9315 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
9316 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
9317 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
9318
9319 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
9320 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
9321 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
9322
9323 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
9324
9325 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
9326 memory from its contents. This is done with a counter that will
9327 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
9328 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
9329 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
9330 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
9331 [Geoff Thorpe]
9332
9333 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
9334 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
9335 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
9336 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
9337 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
9338 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9339
9340 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
9341 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
9342 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
9343
9344 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
9345 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
9346 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
9347 EVP_cleanup().
9348 [Richard Levitte]
9349
9350 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
9351 being properly terminated.
9352 [Richard Levitte]
9353
9354 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
9355 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
9356 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
9357 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
9358
9359 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
9360 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
9361 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
9362 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
9363 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
9364 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
9365 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
9366 change.
9367 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
9368
9369 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
9370 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
9371 [Bodo Moeller]
9372
9373 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
9374 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
9375 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
9376 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
9377 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
9378 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
9379 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
9380 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
9381
9382 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
9383 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
9384 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
9385 (see [openssl.org #212]).
9386 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
9387
9388 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
9389 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
9390 [Steve Henson]
9391
9392 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
9393
9394 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
9395 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
9396 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
9397
9398 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
9399
9400 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
9401 and get fix the header length calculation.
9402 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
9403 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
9404 Steve Henson]
9405
9406 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
9407 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
9408 assertions could call abort()).
9409 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
9410
9411 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
9412
9413 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
9414 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
9415 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
9416 supplied buffer.
9417 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
9418
9419 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
9420 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
9421 by the selection routines (PR #130).
9422 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9423
9424 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
9425 [Nils Larsch]
9426
9427 *) New option
9428 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
9429 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
9430 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
9431
9432 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
9433 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
9434 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
9435 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
9436 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
9437 applications.
9438 [Bodo Moeller]
9439
9440 *) Changes in security patch:
9441
9442 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
9443 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
9444 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
9445 F30602-01-2-0537.
9446
9447 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
9448 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
9449 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
9450 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
9451 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
9452
9453 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
9454 happen in practice.
9455 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9456
9457 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
9458 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
9459 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
9460
9461 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
9462 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
9463 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9464
9465 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
9466 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
9467 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9468
9469 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
9470
9471 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
9472 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
9473 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
9474
9475 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
9476 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
9477
9478 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
9479 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
9480 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
9481 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
9482 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
9483 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
9484 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9485
9486 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
9487 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
9488 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
9489 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
9490 [Bodo Moeller]
9491
9492 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
9493 [Bodo Moeller]
9494
9495 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
9496 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
9497 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
9498 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
9499 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
9500 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9501
9502 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
9503 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
9504 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
9505 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
9506 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
9507 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9508
9509 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
9510 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
9511 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
9512 BN_generate_prime().)
9513
9514 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
9515 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
9516 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
9517 better.
9518 [Bodo Moeller]
9519
9520 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
9521 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
9522 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9523
9524 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
9525 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
9526 when using non-blocking I/O.
9527 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
9528
9529 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
9530 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
9531
9532 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
9533 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
9534 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9535
9536 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
9537 configuration for the versions before that.
9538 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
9539
9540 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
9541 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
9542 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
9543 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
9544 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9545
9546 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
9547 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
9548 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
9549 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9550
9551 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
9552 value is 0.
9553 [Richard Levitte]
9554
9555 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
9556 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
9557 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
9558
9559 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
9560 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
9561
9562 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
9563 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
9564 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
9565 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
9566 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
9567 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
9568 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
9569 session cache.
9570
9571 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
9572 using a local variable.
9573 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
9574
9575 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
9576 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
9577 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
9578
9579 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
9580 [Richard Levitte]
9581
9582 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
9583 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
9584
9585 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
9586 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
9587 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
9588
9589 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
9590
9591 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
9592 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
9593 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
9594 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
9595 [Bodo Moeller]
9596
9597 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
9598 present.
9599 [Steve Henson]
9600
9601 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
9602 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
9603 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
9604 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
9605 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
9606
9607 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
9608 returns early because it has nothing to do.
9609 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9610
9611 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9612 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
9613 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9614
9615 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9616 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
9617 (Use engine 'keyclient')
9618 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
9619
9620 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
9621 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
9622 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
9623 modules).
9624 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
9625
9626 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9627 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
9628 from 0.9.7.
9629 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
9630
9631 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9632 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
9633 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
9634 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
9635
9636 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9637 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
9638 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
9639 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
9640
9641 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
9642 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
9643
9644 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
9645 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
9646 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
9647 [Bodo Moeller]
9648
9649 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
9650 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
9651 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
9652 become invalid.
9653 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
9654
9655 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
9656 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
9657 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
9658 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
9659 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
9660 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
9661 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
9662 [Bodo Moeller]
9663
9664 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
9665 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
9666 one of the SSL handshake functions.
9667 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
9668
9669 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
9670 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
9671 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
9672 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
9673 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
9674 the client will at least see that alert.
9675 [Bodo Moeller]
9676
9677 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
9678 correctly.
9679 [Bodo Moeller]
9680
9681 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
9682 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
9683 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9684
9685 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
9686 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
9687 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
9688 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
9689 HelloRequest.
9690
9691 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
9692 before just sending a HelloRequest.
9693 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
9694
9695 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
9696 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
9697 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
9698 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
9699 may leak via logfiles.)
9700
9701 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
9702 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
9703 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
9704 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
9705 the legal range.
9706 [Bodo Moeller]
9707
9708 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
9709 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
9710 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9711
9712 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
9713 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
9714 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
9715 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
9716 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
9717 [Bodo Moeller]
9718
9719 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
9720 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
9721
9722 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
9723 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
9724 followed by modular reduction.
9725 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
9726
9727 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
9728 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
9729 [Bodo Moeller]
9730
9731 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
9732 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
9733 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
9734 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
9735 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9736
9737 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
9738 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9739
9740 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
9741 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
9742 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9743
9744 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
9745 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
9746 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
9747 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
9748 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
9749 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
9750 automatically.
9751 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
9752
9753 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
9754 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
9755 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
9756 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
9757 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
9758
9759 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
9760 [Andy Polyakov]
9761
9762 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
9763 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
9764 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
9765 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
9766 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
9767 to allow the necessary settings.
9768 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9769
9770 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
9771 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
9772 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
9773 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
9774 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9775
9776 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
9777 dh->length and always used
9778
9779 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
9780
9781 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
9782 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
9783 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
9784 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
9785 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
9786 dh->length.
9787
9788 So switch back to
9789
9790 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
9791
9792 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
9793 otherwise.
9794 [Bodo Moeller]
9795
9796 *) In
9797
9798 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
9799 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
9800 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
9801 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
9802
9803 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
9804 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
9805 always reject numbers >= n.
9806 [Bodo Moeller]
9807
9808 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
9809 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
9810 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
9811 variable) is not atomic.
9812 [Bodo Moeller]
9813
9814 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
9815 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
9816 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
9817 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
9818
9819 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
9820 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
9821
9822 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
9823 little-endian MIPS.
9824 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
9825
9826 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
9827 [Richard Levitte]
9828
9829 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
9830
9831 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
9832 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
9833 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
9834 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
9835 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
9836 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
9837 to traverse all of 'state'.
9838
9839 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
9840 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
9841 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
9842
9843 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
9844 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
9845
9846 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
9847 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
9848 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
9849 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
9850 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
9851 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
9852 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
9853 further strengthens the PRNG.
9854 [Bodo Moeller]
9855
9856 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
9857 [Andy Polyakov]
9858
9859 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
9860 an error message in this case.
9861 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9862
9863 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
9864 [Steve Henson]
9865
9866 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
9867 positive and less than q.
9868 [Bodo Moeller]
9869
9870 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
9871 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
9872 that itself.
9873 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
9874
9875 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
9876 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
9877 [Bodo Moeller]
9878
9879 *) Fix OAEP check.
9880 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9881
9882 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
9883 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
9884 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
9885 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
9886 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
9887 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
9888 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
9889 paper.)
9890
9891 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
9892 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
9893 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
9894 detect the supposedly ignored error.
9895
9896 Both problems are now fixed.
9897 [Bodo Moeller]
9898
9899 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
9900 (previously it was 1024).
9901 [Bodo Moeller]
9902
9903 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
9904 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
9905 [Steve Henson]
9906
9907 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
9908 [Steve Henson]
9909
9910 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
9911 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
9912 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
9913 [Steve Henson]
9914
9915 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
9916 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
9917 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
9918 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
9919 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
9920 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
9921 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
9922 environment variables.
9923
9924 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
9925 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
9926 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
9927 [Bodo Moeller]
9928
9929 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
9930 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
9931 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
9932 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
9933 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
9934 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
9935 [Bodo Moeller]
9936
9937 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
9938 versions of 'test'.
9939 [Bodo Moeller]
9940
9941 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
9942
9943 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
9944 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
9945
9946 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
9947 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
9948 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
9949 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
9950 CygWin.
9951 [Richard Levitte]
9952
9953 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
9954 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
9955 amount of data available.
9956 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
9957 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9958
9959 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
9960 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
9961 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
9962 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
9963 [Bodo Moeller]
9964
9965 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
9966 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
9967 and UnixWare.
9968 [Richard Levitte]
9969
9970 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
9971 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
9972 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
9973 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
9974 [Ulf Moeller]
9975
9976 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
9977 [Andy Polyakov]
9978
9979 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
9980 [Richard Levitte]
9981
9982 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
9983 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
9984 [Steve Henson]
9985 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9986
9987 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
9988 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
9989 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
9990 (but broken) behaviour.
9991 [Steve Henson]
9992
9993 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
9994 it when found.
9995 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
9996
9997 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
9998 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
9999 [Bodo Moeller]
10000
10001 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
10002 did not exist.
10003 [Bodo Moeller]
10004
10005 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
10006 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
10007
10008 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
10009 [Richard Levitte]
10010
10011 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
10012 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
10013 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
10014
10015 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
10016 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
10017 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
10018 [Steve Henson]
10019
10020 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
10021 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
10022 [Ulf Moeller]
10023
10024 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
10025 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
10026
10027 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
10028
10029 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
10030
10031 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
10032 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
10033 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
10034 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
10035 [Bodo Moeller]
10036
10037 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
10038 [Lutz Jaenicke]
10039
10040 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
10041 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
10042 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
10043
10044 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
10045 was empty.
10046 [Steve Henson]
10047 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
10048
10049 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
10050 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
10051 but the code is actually correct.
10052 [Steve Henson]
10053
10054 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
10055 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
10056 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
10057 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
10058 and leaves the highest bit random.
10059 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
10060
10061 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
10062 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
10063 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
10064 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
10065 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
10066 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
10067 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
10068 [Bodo Moeller]
10069
10070 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
10071 [Ulf Moeller]
10072
10073 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
10074 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
10075 [Steve Henson]
10076
10077 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
10078 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
10079 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
10080 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
10081 headers.
10082 [Richard Levitte]
10083
10084 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
10085 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
10086 and break the signature.
10087 [Steve Henson]
10088 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
10089
10090 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
10091 DH ciphersuites.
10092 [Steve Henson]
10093
10094 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
10095 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
10096 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
10097 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
10098 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
10099 [Bodo Moeller]
10100
10101 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
10102 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
10103
10104 *) ./config script fixes.
10105 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
10106
10107 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
10108 [Bodo Moeller]
10109
10110 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
10111 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
10112 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
10113 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
10114 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
10115
10116 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
10117 call failed, free the DSA structure.
10118 [Bodo Moeller]
10119
10120 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
10121 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
10122 [Steve Henson]
10123
10124 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
10125 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
10126 when writing a 32767 byte record.
10127 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
10128
10129 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
10130 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
10131
10132 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
10133 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
10134 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
10135 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
10136 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
10137
10138 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
10139 [Bodo Moeller]
10140
10141 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
10142 [Ulf Möller]
10143
10144 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
10145 [Ulf Möller]
10146
10147 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
10148 [Bodo Moeller]
10149
10150 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
10151 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
10152 [Bodo Moeller]
10153
10154 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
10155 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
10156 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
10157 result of the server certificate verification.)
10158 [Lutz Jaenicke]
10159
10160 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
10161 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
10162 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
10163 [Bodo Moeller]
10164
10165 *) Fix SSL_peek:
10166 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
10167 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
10168 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
10169 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
10170 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
10171 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
10172 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
10173 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
10174 [Bodo Moeller]
10175
10176 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
10177 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
10178 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
10179 happening the other way round.
10180 [Geoff Thorpe]
10181
10182 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
10183 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
10184 [Bodo Moeller]
10185
10186 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
10187 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
10188 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
10189 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
10190 [Richard Levitte]
10191
10192 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
10193 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
10194
10195 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
10196
10197 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
10198 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
10199 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
10200 that.
10201
10202 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
10203
10204 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
10205
10206 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
10207 static ones.
10208 [Richard Levitte]
10209
10210 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
10211
10212 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
10213 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
10214 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
10215 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
10216 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
10217
10218 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
10219 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
10220 matter what.
10221 [Richard Levitte]
10222
10223 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
10224 [Lutz Jaenicke]
10225
10226 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
10227
10228 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
10229 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
10230 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
10231 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
10232 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
10233 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
10234 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
10235 by the Finished messages.
10236 [Bodo Moeller]
10237
10238 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
10239 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
10240
10241 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
10242 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
10243 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
10244 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
10245 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
10246 appropriately.
10247 [Steve Henson]
10248
10249 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
10250 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
10251 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
10252 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
10253 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
10254 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
10255 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
10256 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
10257 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
10258 together.
10259 [Steve Henson]
10260
10261 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
10262 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
10263 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
10264 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
10265
10266 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
10267 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
10268 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
10269 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
10270 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
10271 the answer.
10272
10273 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
10274 been tested well enough.
10275 [Richard Levitte]
10276
10277 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
10278 it can return incorrect results.
10279 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
10280 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
10281 [Bodo Moeller]
10282
10283 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
10284 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
10285 include zero length content when signing messages.
10286 [Steve Henson]
10287
10288 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
10289 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
10290 [Bodo Möller]
10291
10292 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
10293 [Richard Levitte]
10294
10295 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
10296 wrong sign.
10297 [Ulf Möller]
10298
10299 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
10300 packages. The default package contains applications, application
10301 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
10302 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
10303 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
10304 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
10305 [Richard Levitte]
10306
10307 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
10308 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10309
10310 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
10311 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
10312
10313 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
10314 random number < q in the DSA library.
10315 [Ulf Möller]
10316
10317 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
10318 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
10319 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
10320 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
10321 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
10322 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
10323 just makes things more complicated.)
10324 [Bodo Moeller]
10325
10326 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
10327 from EGD.
10328 [Ben Laurie]
10329
10330 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
10331 work better on such systems.
10332 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10333
10334 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
10335 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
10336 keyid to the certificates aux info.
10337 [Steve Henson]
10338
10339 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
10340 if there was more than one signature.
10341 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
10342
10343 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
10344 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
10345 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
10346 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
10347 [Richard Levitte]
10348
10349 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
10350 rather than always using the current time.
10351 [Steve Henson]
10352
10353 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
10354 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
10355 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
10356 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
10357 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
10358 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
10359
10360 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
10361 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
10362
10363 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
10364
10365 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
10366 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
10367 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
10368 the same hash value.
10369
10370 As a result various functions (which were all internal
10371 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
10372 structure. This will break anything that messed round
10373 with X509_STORE internally.
10374
10375 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
10376 exact match, rather than just subject name.
10377
10378 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
10379 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
10380 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
10381 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
10382 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
10383 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
10384 entirely (maybe later...).
10385
10386 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
10387
10388 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
10389 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
10390 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
10391 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
10392 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
10393 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
10394 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
10395 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
10396
10397 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
10398 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
10399
10400 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
10401 to customise the verify behaviour.
10402 [Steve Henson]
10403
10404 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
10405 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
10406 [Steve Henson]
10407
10408 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
10409 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
10410 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
10411 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
10412 request is improperly encoded.
10413 [Steve Henson]
10414
10415 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
10416 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
10417 BIO_write(b, ...).
10418
10419 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
10420 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
10421
10422 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
10423 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
10424 words set to zero.)
10425 [Bodo Moeller]
10426
10427 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
10428 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
10429 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
10430 [Bodo Moeller]
10431
10432 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
10433 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
10434 BIO/fp routines also added.
10435 [Steve Henson]
10436
10437 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
10438 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
10439
10440 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
10441 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
10442 demos/state_machine.
10443 [Ben Laurie]
10444
10445 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
10446 generation and verification.
10447 [Steve Henson]
10448
10449 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
10450 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
10451 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
10452 encode and decode it manually.
10453 [Steve Henson]
10454
10455 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
10456 compile under VC++.
10457 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
10458
10459 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
10460 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
10461 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
10462 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
10463
10464 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
10465 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
10466 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
10467 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
10468 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
10469 [Steve Henson]
10470
10471 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
10472 [Richard Levitte]
10473
10474 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the strings written
10475 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
10476 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
10477
10478 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
10479 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
10480 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
10481 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
10482 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
10483 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
10484 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
10485 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
10486
10487 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
10488 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
10489
10490 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
10491
10492 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
10493 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
10494 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
10495
10496 [Richard Levitte]
10497
10498 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
10499 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
10500 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
10501 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
10502 [Richard Levitte]
10503
10504 *) MD4 implemented.
10505 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
10506
10507 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
10508 [Richard Levitte]
10509
10510 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
10511 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
10512 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
10513 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
10514 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
10515 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
10516 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
10517 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
10518 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
10519 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
10520 short or long names are found.
10521 [Steve Henson]
10522
10523 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
10524 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
10525
10526 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
10527 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
10528 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
10529 version rollback attacks was not effective.
10530
10531 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
10532 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
10533 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
10534 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
10535 [Bodo Moeller]
10536
10537 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
10538 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
10539 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
10540 [Richard Levitte]
10541
10542 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
10543 these print out strings and name structures based on various
10544 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
10545 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
10546 to allow the various flags to be set.
10547 [Steve Henson]
10548
10549 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
10550 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
10551 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
10552 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
10553 dates to be checked.
10554 [Steve Henson]
10555
10556 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
10557 negative public key encodings) on by default,
10558 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
10559 [Steve Henson]
10560
10561 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
10562 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
10563 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
10564 [Steve Henson]
10565
10566 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
10567 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
10568 [Bodo Moeller]
10569
10570 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
10571 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
10572 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
10573 are always statically linked for now, but there are
10574 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
10575 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
10576 [Richard Levitte]
10577
10578 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
10579 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
10580 Random Numbers.
10581 [Ulf Möller]
10582
10583 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
10584 DSA key.
10585 [Steve Henson]
10586
10587 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
10588 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
10589 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
10590 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
10591 form signing output easier to verify.
10592 [Steve Henson]
10593
10594 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
10595 [Steve Henson]
10596
10597 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
10598 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
10599 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
10600 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
10601 are needed because all other string types have virtually
10602 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
10603 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
10604 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
10605 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
10606 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
10607 [Steve Henson]
10608
10609 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
10610
10611 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
10612 the syntax given in objects.README.
10613 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
10614 obj_mac.h.
10615 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
10616 obj_mac.h.
10617
10618 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
10619 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
10620 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
10621 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
10622 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
10623 consistent name changes.
10624 [Richard Levitte]
10625
10626 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
10627 [Bodo Moeller]
10628
10629 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
10630 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
10631 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
10632 environment variable, or the default random state file.
10633 [Richard Levitte]
10634
10635 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
10636 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
10637 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
10638 of safestack.h .
10639 [Steve Henson]
10640
10641 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
10642 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
10643 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
10644 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
10645 [Steve Henson]
10646
10647 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
10648 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
10649 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
10650 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
10651 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
10652 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
10653 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
10654 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
10655 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
10656 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
10657 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
10658 [Steve Henson]
10659
10660 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
10661 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
10662 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
10663 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
10664 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
10665 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
10666 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
10667 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
10668 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
10669 algorithm to openssl-dev.
10670 [Steve Henson]
10671
10672 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
10673 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
10674 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
10675 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
10676
10677 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
10678 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
10679 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
10680 omit any duplicate addresses.
10681 [Steve Henson]
10682
10683 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
10684 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
10685 [Bodo Moeller]
10686
10687 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
10688 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
10689 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
10690 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
10691 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
10692 [Bodo Moeller]
10693
10694 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
10695 software:
10696 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
10697 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
10698 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
10699 Free => OPENSSL_free
10700 [Richard Levitte]
10701
10702 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
10703 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
10704 [Bodo Moeller]
10705
10706 *) CygWin32 support.
10707 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
10708
10709 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
10710 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
10711 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
10712 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
10713 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
10714 approach.
10715 [Geoff Thorpe]
10716
10717 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
10718 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
10719 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
10720 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
10721 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
10722 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
10723 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
10724 [Geoff Thorpe]
10725
10726 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
10727 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
10728 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
10729 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
10730 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
10731 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
10732 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
10733 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
10734 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
10735 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
10736 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
10737 [Bodo Moeller]
10738
10739 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
10740 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
10741 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
10742 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
10743 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
10744
10745 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
10746 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
10747 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
10748 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
10749 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
10750
10751 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
10752 ciphers.
10753
10754 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
10755 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
10756 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
10757 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
10758
10759 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
10760
10761 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
10762 of macros.
10763
10764 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
10765 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
10766 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
10767 flags.
10768
10769 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
10770 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
10771 any installed hardware versions can.
10772 [Steve Henson]
10773
10774 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
10775 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
10776 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
10777 number.
10778 [Bodo Moeller]
10779
10780 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
10781 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
10782 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
10783 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
10784 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
10785
10786 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
10787 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
10788 [Steve Henson]
10789
10790 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
10791 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
10792 [Richard Levitte]
10793
10794 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
10795 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
10796 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
10797 features.
10798 [Steve Henson]
10799
10800 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
10801 [Ulf Möller]
10802
10803 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
10804 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
10805 but no ssl client purpose.
10806 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
10807
10808 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
10809 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
10810 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
10811 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
10812 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
10813 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
10814 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
10815 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
10816 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
10817 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
10818 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
10819 [Steve Henson]
10820
10821 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
10822 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
10823 be obtained from the error queue.
10824 [Bodo Moeller]
10825
10826 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
10827 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
10828 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
10829 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
10830 [Bodo Moeller]
10831
10832 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
10833 [Ulf Möller]
10834
10835 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
10836 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
10837 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
10838 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
10839 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
10840 [Geoff Thorpe]
10841
10842 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
10843 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
10844 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
10845 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
10846 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
10847 [Geoff Thorpe]
10848
10849 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
10850 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
10851 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
10852 may not be NULL.
10853 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
10854
10855 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
10856 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
10857 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
10858 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
10859 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
10860 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
10861 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
10862 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
10863 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
10864 or "the configuration storage API"...
10865
10866 The new configuration file reading functions are:
10867
10868 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
10869 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
10870
10871 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
10872
10873 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
10874
10875 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
10876 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
10877 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
10878 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
10879 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
10880 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
10881 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
10882
10883 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
10884 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
10885 [Richard Levitte]
10886
10887 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
10888 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
10889 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
10890 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
10891 [Bodo Moeller]
10892
10893 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
10894 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
10895 them in a portable way.
10896 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
10897
10898 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
10899
10900 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
10901
10902 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
10903 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
10904
10905 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
10906 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
10907 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
10908 <attili@amaxo.com>]
10909
10910 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
10911 was larger than the MD block size.
10912 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
10913
10914 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
10915 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
10916 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
10917 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
10918 components.
10919 [Steve Henson]
10920
10921 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
10922 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
10923 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
10924
10925 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
10926 discouraged.
10927 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
10928
10929 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
10930 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
10931 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
10932 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
10933 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
10934 Additional arguments are always ignored.
10935
10936 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
10937 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
10938
10939 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
10940 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
10941 [Bodo Moeller]
10942
10943 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
10944 [Bodo Moeller]
10945
10946 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
10947 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
10948 its own key.
10949 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
10950 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
10951 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
10952 you effectively got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
10953 [Bodo Moeller]
10954
10955 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
10956 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
10957 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
10958 does not suppress any output.
10959 [Richard Levitte]
10960
10961 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
10962 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
10963 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
10964 with all the associated security issues.
10965
10966 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
10967 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
10968 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
10969 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
10970 use the value in the default purpose.
10971 [Steve Henson]
10972
10973 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
10974 and fix a memory leak.
10975 [Steve Henson]
10976
10977 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
10978 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
10979 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
10980 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
10981 [Bodo Moeller]
10982
10983 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
10984 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
10985 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
10986 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
10987 [Bodo Moeller]
10988
10989 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
10990 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
10991 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
10992 [Bodo Moeller]
10993
10994 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
10995 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
10996 [Bodo Moeller]
10997
10998 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
10999 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
11000 which was free.
11001 [Steve Henson]
11002
11003 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
11004 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
11005 [Bodo Moeller]
11006
11007 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
11008 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
11009 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
11010 [Bodo Moeller]
11011
11012 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
11013 number generation fails.
11014 [Bodo Moeller]
11015
11016 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
11017 [Bodo Moeller]
11018
11019 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
11020 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
11021
11022 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
11023 [Ulf Möller]
11024
11025 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
11026 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
11027
11028 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
11029 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
11030
11031 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
11032
11033 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
11034 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
11035 [Steve Henson]
11036
11037 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
11038 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
11039
11040 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
11041 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
11042 [Ulf Möller]
11043
11044 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
11045 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
11046 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
11047 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
11048 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
11049 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
11050
11051 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
11052 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
11053 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
11054 for example.
11055 [Steve Henson]
11056
11057 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
11058 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
11059 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
11060 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
11061 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
11062 counter, some don't.)
11063 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
11064 counters or duplicate objects.
11065 [Steve Henson]
11066
11067 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
11068 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
11069 [Steve Henson]
11070
11071 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
11072 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
11073 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
11074
11075 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
11076 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
11077 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
11078 or -rand.
11079 [Ulf Möller]
11080
11081 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
11082 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
11083 [Steve Henson]
11084
11085 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
11086 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
11087 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
11088 cipher list.
11089 [Steve Henson]
11090
11091 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
11092 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
11093 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
11094 [Steve Henson]
11095
11096 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
11097 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
11098 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
11099 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
11100 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
11101 should work without changes.
11102 [Richard Levitte]
11103
11104 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
11105 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
11106 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
11107 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
11108 must be defined. E.g.,
11109 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
11110 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
11111 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
11112 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
11113
11114 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
11115 record layer.
11116 [Bodo Moeller]
11117
11118 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
11119 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
11120 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
11121 [Steve Henson]
11122
11123 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
11124 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
11125 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
11126 request header lines. Some software needs this.
11127 [Steve Henson]
11128
11129 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
11130 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
11131 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
11132 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
11133 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
11134 is prompted for as usual.
11135 [Steve Henson]
11136
11137 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
11138 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
11139 autodetect the card and use it if present.
11140 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
11141
11142 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
11143 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
11144 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
11145 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
11146 [Steve Henson]
11147
11148 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
11149 [Andy Polyakov]
11150
11151 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
11152 of seed file.
11153 [Steve Henson]
11154
11155 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
11156 [Bodo Moeller]
11157
11158 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
11159 [Steve Henson]
11160
11161 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
11162 bits.
11163 [Ulf Möller]
11164
11165 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
11166 [Ulf Möller]
11167
11168 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
11169 [Andy Polyakov]
11170
11171 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divisor are
11172 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
11173 [Ulf Möller]
11174
11175 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
11176 options to produce them.
11177 [Steve Henson]
11178
11179 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
11180 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
11181 [Ulf Möller]
11182
11183 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
11184 for p == 0.
11185 [Ulf Möller]
11186
11187 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
11188 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
11189 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
11190 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
11191 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
11192 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
11193 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
11194 [Steve Henson]
11195
11196 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
11197 [Steve Henson]
11198
11199 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
11200 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
11201 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
11202 [Bodo Moeller]
11203
11204 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
11205 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
11206
11207 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
11208 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
11209 [Ulf Möller]
11210
11211 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
11212 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
11213 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
11214 has already seen).
11215 [Bodo Moeller]
11216
11217 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
11218 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
11219
11220 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
11221 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
11222 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
11223 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
11224 generation becomes much faster.
11225
11226 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
11227 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
11228 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
11229 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
11230 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
11231 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
11232 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
11233 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
11234 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
11235 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
11236 [Bodo Moeller]
11237
11238 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
11239 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
11240 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
11241 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
11242 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
11243 trial division stage.
11244 [Bodo Moeller]
11245
11246 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
11247 as ASN1_TIME.
11248 [Steve Henson]
11249
11250 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
11251 [Steve Henson]
11252
11253 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
11254 [Ulf Möller]
11255
11256 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
11257 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
11258 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
11259 the comments.
11260 [Ulf Möller]
11261
11262 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
11263 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
11264 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
11265 [Bodo Moeller]
11266
11267 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
11268 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
11269 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
11270 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
11271
11272 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
11273 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
11274 [Steve Henson]
11275
11276 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
11277 [Ulf Möller]
11278
11279 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
11280 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
11281 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
11282 Rabin-Miller iterations.
11283 [Ulf Möller]
11284
11285 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
11286 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
11287 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
11288 [Ulf Möller]
11289
11290 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
11291 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
11292 (instead of parameters) in future.
11293 [Steve Henson]
11294
11295 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
11296 when a new cipher list is set.
11297 [Steve Henson]
11298
11299 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
11300 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
11301 wrong.
11302
11303 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
11304 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
11305 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
11306
11307 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
11308 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
11309 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
11310 an error is flagged.
11311
11312 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
11313 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
11314 the readability was also increased :-)
11315 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
11316
11317 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
11318 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
11319 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
11320 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
11321 as the root CA.
11322 [Steve Henson]
11323
11324 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
11325 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
11326 [Steve Henson]
11327
11328 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
11329 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
11330 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
11331 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
11332 instead.
11333
11334 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
11335 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
11336 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
11337 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
11338 because they handle more complex structures.)
11339 [Steve Henson]
11340
11341 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
11342 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
11343 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
11344 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11345
11346 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
11347 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
11348 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
11349 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
11350 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
11351 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
11352 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
11353 [Ulf Möller]
11354
11355 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
11356 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
11357 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
11358 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
11359 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
11360 [Bodo Moeller]
11361
11362 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
11363 [Bodo Moeller]
11364
11365 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
11366 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
11367 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
11368 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
11369 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
11370 to use this.
11371
11372 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
11373 code.
11374 [Steve Henson]
11375
11376 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
11377 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
11378 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
11379 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
11380 [Steve Henson]
11381
11382 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
11383 [Ulf Möller]
11384
11385 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
11386 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
11387 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
11388 international characters are used.
11389
11390 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
11391 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
11392 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
11393 in ASN1 order.
11394 [Steve Henson]
11395
11396 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
11397 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
11398 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
11399 request.
11400
11401 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
11402 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
11403 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
11404 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
11405 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
11406 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
11407
11408 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
11409 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
11410 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
11411 be handled by the string table functions.
11412
11413 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
11414 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
11415 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
11416 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
11417 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
11418 types at all.
11419 [Steve Henson]
11420
11421 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
11422 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
11423 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
11424 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
11425 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
11426
11427 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
11428 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
11429 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
11430 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
11431 [Bodo Moeller]
11432
11433 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
11434 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
11435 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
11436 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
11437 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
11438 SHA1.
11439 [Andy Polyakov]
11440
11441 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
11442 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
11443 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
11444 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
11445 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
11446 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
11447 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
11448 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
11449
11450 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
11451 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
11452 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
11453 [Steve Henson]
11454
11455 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
11456 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
11457 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
11458 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
11459 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
11460 support to pkcs8 application.
11461 [Steve Henson]
11462
11463 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
11464 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
11465 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
11466 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
11467 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
11468 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
11469 [Bodo Moeller]
11470
11471 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
11472 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
11473 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
11474 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
11475 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
11476 consistency.
11477 [Bodo Moeller]
11478
11479 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
11480 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
11481 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
11482 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
11483 example.
11484 [Steve Henson]
11485
11486 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
11487 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
11488 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
11489 and any application specific purposes.
11490
11491 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
11492 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
11493 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
11494 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
11495 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
11496 if the certificate is self signed.
11497 [Steve Henson]
11498
11499 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
11500 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
11501 [Steve Henson]
11502
11503 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
11504 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
11505 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
11506 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
11507 [Steve Henson]
11508
11509 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
11510 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
11511 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
11512 Update documentation.
11513 [Steve Henson]
11514
11515 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
11516 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
11517 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
11518 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
11519 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
11520 [Steve Henson]
11521
11522 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
11523 for details.
11524 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
11525
11526 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
11527 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
11528 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
11529 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
11530 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
11531 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
11532 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
11533 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
11534 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
11535 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
11536
11537 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
11538
11539 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11540 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11541 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
11542 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
11543 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
11544
11545 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
11546 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
11547 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
11548 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
11549 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
11550 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
11551 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
11552 request additional information:
11553 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
11554 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
11555
11556 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
11557 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
11558 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
11559 options.
11560
11561 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
11562 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
11563
11564 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
11565 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
11566 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
11567
11568 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
11569 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
11570
11571 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
11572 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
11573 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
11574 algorithm.
11575 [Steve Henson]
11576
11577 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
11578 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
11579 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
11580
11581 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
11582 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
11583 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
11584 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
11585 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
11586 included in OpenSSL.
11587 [Steve Henson]
11588
11589 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
11590 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
11591 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
11592 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
11593 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
11594 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
11595 [Bodo Moeller]
11596
11597 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
11598 PKCS12 structure.
11599 [Steve Henson]
11600
11601 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
11602 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
11603 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
11604 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
11605 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
11606 structure.
11607 [Steve Henson]
11608
11609 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
11610 need initialising.
11611 [Steve Henson]
11612
11613 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
11614 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
11615 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
11616 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
11617 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
11618 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
11619 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
11620 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
11621 be maintained manually.
11622
11623 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
11624 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
11625 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
11626 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
11627 work because people forget to call this function]
11628 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
11629 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
11630 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
11631 [Steve Henson]
11632
11633 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
11634 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
11635 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
11636 should be discouraged from doing it.
11637 [Ben Laurie]
11638
11639 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
11640 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
11641 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
11642 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
11643 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
11644 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
11645 [Steve Henson]
11646
11647 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
11648 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
11649 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
11650
11651 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
11652 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
11653 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
11654
11655 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
11656 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
11657 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
11658 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
11659 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
11660 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
11661
11662 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
11663 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
11664 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
11665
11666 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
11667 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
11668 and vice versa.
11669
11670 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
11671 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
11672 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
11673 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
11674 [Steve Henson]
11675
11676 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
11677 [Steve Henson]
11678
11679 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
11680 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
11681 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
11682 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
11683 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
11684 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
11685 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
11686 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
11687 keys so we should be OK.
11688
11689 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
11690 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
11691 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
11692 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
11693 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
11694 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
11695 stay in the name of compatibility.
11696
11697 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
11698 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
11699 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
11700
11701 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
11702 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
11703 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
11704 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
11705 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
11706 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
11707 supplied key).
11708 [Steve Henson]
11709
11710 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
11711 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
11712 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
11713 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
11714 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
11715 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
11716 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
11717 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
11718 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
11719 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
11720 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
11721 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
11722 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
11723 [Steve Henson]
11724
11725 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
11726 [Steve Henson]
11727
11728 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
11729 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
11730 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
11731 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
11732 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
11733 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
11734 single self signed certificate. This means that:
11735 openssl verify ss.pem
11736 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
11737 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
11738 is OK.
11739 [Steve Henson]
11740
11741 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
11742 (and add it to external session representation).
11743 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
11744 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
11745 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
11746 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
11747 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
11748 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
11749 security holes.
11750 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
11751
11752 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
11753 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
11754 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
11755 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
11756
11757 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
11758 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
11759 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
11760 [Steve Henson]
11761
11762 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
11763 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
11764 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
11765 code.
11766 [Steve Henson]
11767
11768 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
11769 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
11770 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
11771
11772 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
11773 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
11774 certificate auxiliary information.
11775 [Steve Henson]
11776
11777 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
11778 the 'enc' command.
11779 [Steve Henson]
11780
11781 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
11782 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
11783 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
11784 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
11785 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
11786 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
11787 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
11788 [Richard Levitte]
11789
11790 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
11791 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
11792 [Steve Henson]
11793
11794 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
11795 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
11796 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
11797 manpages and fix a few bugs.
11798 [Steve Henson]
11799
11800 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
11801 [Steve Henson]
11802
11803 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
11804 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
11805 [Steve Henson]
11806
11807 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
11808 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
11809 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
11810 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
11811 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
11812 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
11813 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
11814 using the new 'x509' options.
11815
11816 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
11817 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
11818 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
11819 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
11820 for all purposes.
11821 [Steve Henson]
11822
11823 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
11824 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
11825 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
11826 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
11827 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
11828 [Mark Cox]
11829
11830 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
11831 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
11832 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
11833 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
11834 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
11835 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
11836 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
11837 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
11838 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
11839 the key length and effective key length are equal.
11840 [Steve Henson]
11841
11842 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
11843 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
11844 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
11845 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
11846 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
11847 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
11848 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
11849 [Steve Henson]
11850
11851 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
11852 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
11853 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
11854 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
11855 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
11856 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
11857 openssl.cnf for more info.
11858 [Steve Henson]
11859
11860 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
11861 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
11862 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
11863 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
11864 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
11865 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
11866 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
11867 md should be large enough anyway.
11868 [Bodo Moeller]
11869
11870 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
11871 for handling the random seed file.
11872
11873 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
11874 ca,
11875 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
11876 s_client,
11877 s_server,
11878 x509 (when signing).
11879 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
11880 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
11881 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
11882
11883 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
11884 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
11885 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
11886 that support '-rand'.
11887 [Bodo Moeller]
11888
11889 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
11890 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
11891 [Bodo Moeller]
11892
11893 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
11894 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
11895 [Bill Perry]
11896
11897 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
11898 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
11899 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
11900 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
11901 is suitable.
11902 [Steve Henson]
11903
11904 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
11905 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
11906 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
11907 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
11908 [Steve Henson]
11909
11910 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
11911 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
11912 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
11913 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
11914 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
11915 print out all the purposes.
11916 [Steve Henson]
11917
11918 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
11919 functions.
11920 [Steve Henson]
11921
11922 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
11923 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
11924 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
11925 single function call.
11926 [Steve Henson]
11927
11928 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
11929 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
11930 [Andy Polyakov]
11931
11932 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
11933 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
11934 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
11935 [Steve Henson]
11936
11937 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
11938 when producing the local key id.
11939 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11940
11941 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
11942 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
11943 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
11944 "server.pem".
11945 [Steve Henson]
11946
11947 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
11948 a public key to be input or output. For example:
11949 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
11950 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
11951 [Steve Henson]
11952
11953 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
11954 in the message. This was handled by allowing
11955 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
11956 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
11957
11958 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
11959 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
11960 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
11961 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11962
11963 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
11964 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
11965 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
11966 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
11967 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
11968 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
11969 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
11970 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
11971 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
11972 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
11973 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
11974 trivial: move one line.
11975 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
11976
11977 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
11978 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
11979 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
11980 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
11981 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
11982 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
11983 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
11984 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
11985 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
11986 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
11987 with an event loop for example.
11988 [Steve Henson]
11989
11990 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
11991 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
11992 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
11993 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
11994 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
11995 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
11996 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
11997 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
11998 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
11999 [Steve Henson]
12000
12001 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
12002 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
12003 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
12004 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
12005 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
12006 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
12007 [Steve Henson]
12008
12009 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
12010 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
12011 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
12012 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
12013
12014 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
12015 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
12016 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
12017 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
12018 key generation.
12019 [Steve Henson]
12020
12021 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
12022 (still largely untested)
12023 [Bodo Moeller]
12024
12025 *) New function ASN1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
12026 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
12027 [Steve Henson]
12028
12029 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
12030 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
12031 [Steve Henson]
12032
12033 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
12034 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
12035 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
12036 [Bodo Moeller]
12037
12038 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
12039 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
12040 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
12041 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
12042 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
12043 [Steve Henson]
12044
12045 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
12046 [Andy Polyakov]
12047
12048 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
12049 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
12050 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
12051 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
12052 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
12053 in ca.
12054 [Steve Henson]
12055
12056 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
12057 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
12058 1.OU="Unit name 1"
12059 2.OU="Unit name 2"
12060 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
12061 [Steve Henson]
12062
12063 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
12064 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
12065 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
12066 are otherwise ignored at present.
12067 [Steve Henson]
12068
12069 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
12070 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
12071 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
12072 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
12073 copied until the next read.
12074 [Steve Henson]
12075
12076 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
12077 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
12078 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
12079 [Steve Henson]
12080
12081 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
12082 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
12083 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
12084 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
12085 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
12086 associated functions.
12087 [Steve Henson]
12088
12089 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
12090 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
12091 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
12092 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
12093 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
12094 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
12095 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
12096 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
12097 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
12098 memory BIOs.
12099 [Steve Henson]
12100
12101 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
12102 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
12103 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
12104 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
12105 [Bodo Moeller]
12106
12107 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
12108 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
12109 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
12110 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
12111 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
12112 functionality.
12113 [Steve Henson]
12114
12115 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
12116 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
12117 under Win32.
12118 [Steve Henson]
12119
12120 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
12121 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
12122 extensions to be obtained and added.
12123 [Steve Henson]
12124
12125 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
12126 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
12127 [Bodo Moeller]
12128
12129 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
12130
12131 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
12132 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12133
12134 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
12135 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
12136
12137 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
12138 program.
12139 [Steve Henson]
12140
12141 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
12142 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
12143 DH parameters contain its length).
12144
12145 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
12146 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
12147 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
12148 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
12149 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
12150 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
12151 utter importance to use
12152 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
12153 or
12154 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
12155 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
12156 attacks may become possible!
12157 [Bodo Moeller]
12158
12159 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
12160 [Bodo Moeller]
12161
12162 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
12163 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
12164 [Steve Henson]
12165
12166 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
12167 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
12168 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
12169 or long name.
12170 [Steve Henson]
12171
12172 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
12173 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
12174 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
12175 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
12176 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
12177 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
12178 private key operations.
12179 [Steve Henson]
12180
12181 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
12182 [Andy Polyakov]
12183
12184 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
12185 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
12186 to
12187 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
12188 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
12189 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
12190 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
12191 the password callback is called.
12192 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
12193
12194 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
12195
12196 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
12197 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
12198 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
12199 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
12200 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
12201 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
12202 this will work.
12203
12204 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
12205 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
12206 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
12207 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
12208 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
12209 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
12210 [Bodo Moeller]
12211
12212 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
12213 [Andy Polyakov]
12214
12215 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
12216 delete an unused file.
12217 [Ulf Möller]
12218
12219 *) Add support for the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
12220 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
12221 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
12222 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
12223 [Steve Henson]
12224
12225 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
12226 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
12227 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
12228 of an error.
12229 [Bodo Moeller]
12230
12231 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
12232 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
12233 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
12234
12235 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
12236 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
12237 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
12238 comparison" warnings.
12239 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
12240 [Steve Henson]
12241
12242 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
12243 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
12244 derived keys are printed to stderr.
12245 [Steve Henson]
12246
12247 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
12248 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
12249
12250 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
12251 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
12252
12253 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
12254 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
12255 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
12256
12257 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
12258 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
12259 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
12260 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
12261 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
12262 this bug.
12263 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
12264
12265 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
12266 The interface is as follows:
12267 Applications can use
12268 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
12269 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
12270 "off" is now the default.
12271 The library internally uses
12272 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
12273 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
12274 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
12275
12276 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
12277 even the default) are now avoided.
12278
12279 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
12280 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
12281 than just having a counter.
12282
12283 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
12284
12285 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
12286 extensions.
12287 [Bodo Moeller]
12288
12289 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
12290 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
12291 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
12292 Initial "mode" flags are:
12293
12294 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
12295 a single record has been written.
12296 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
12297 retries use the same buffer location.
12298 (But all of the contents must be
12299 copied!)
12300 [Bodo Moeller]
12301
12302 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
12303 worked.
12304
12305 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
12306 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
12307
12308 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
12309 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
12310 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
12311 [Steve Henson]
12312
12313 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
12314 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
12315 test programs.
12316 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
12317
12318 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
12319 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
12320 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
12321 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
12322 point to the end.
12323 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
12324 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
12325
12326 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
12327 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
12328 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
12329 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
12330 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
12331 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
12332 [Steve Henson]
12333
12334 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
12335 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
12336 necessary function names.
12337 [Steve Henson]
12338
12339 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
12340 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
12341 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
12342 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
12343 [Bodo Moeller]
12344
12345 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
12346 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
12347 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
12348 [Steve Henson]
12349
12350 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
12351 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
12352 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
12353 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
12354 such programs?)
12355 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
12356 need locks.
12357 [Bodo Moeller]
12358
12359 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
12360 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
12361 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
12362 [Bodo Moeller]
12363
12364 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
12365 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
12366 appropriate.
12367 [Bodo Moeller]
12368
12369 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
12370 for the encoded length.
12371 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
12372
12373 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
12374 [Steve Henson]
12375
12376 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
12377 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
12378 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
12379 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
12380 [Steve Henson]
12381
12382 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
12383 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
12384 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12385
12386 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
12387 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
12388 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
12389 unusual formatting.
12390 [Steve Henson]
12391
12392 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
12393 to use the new extension code.
12394 [Steve Henson]
12395
12396 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
12397 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
12398 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
12399 constant.
12400 [Steve Henson]
12401
12402 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
12403 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
12404 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
12405 [Bodo Moeller]
12406
12407 #if 0
12408 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
12409 [Ben Laurie]
12410 #else
12411 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
12412 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
12413 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
12414 #endif
12415
12416 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
12417 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
12418 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
12419 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
12420 [Ben Laurie]
12421
12422 *) DES library cleanups.
12423 [Ulf Möller]
12424
12425 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
12426 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
12427 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
12428 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
12429 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
12430 of v2.0.
12431 [Steve Henson]
12432
12433 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
12434 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
12435 [Bodo Moeller]
12436
12437 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
12438 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
12439 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
12440 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
12441 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
12442 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
12443 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
12444 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
12445 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
12446 [Steve Henson]
12447
12448 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
12449 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
12450 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
12451 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
12452 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
12453 value doesn't matter.
12454 [Steve Henson]
12455
12456 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
12457 support mutable.
12458 [Ben Laurie]
12459
12460 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
12461 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
12462 "linux-sparc" configuration.
12463 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
12464
12465 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
12466 [Ulf Möller]
12467
12468 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
12469 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
12470 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
12471
12472 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
12473 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
12474
12475 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
12476 [Ben Laurie]
12477
12478 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
12479 [Ben Laurie]
12480
12481 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
12482 [Ben Laurie]
12483
12484 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
12485 [Bodo Moeller]
12486
12487
12488 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
12489
12490 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
12491
12492 *) Updated some demos.
12493 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
12494
12495 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
12496 [Wu Zhigang]
12497
12498 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
12499 [Steve Henson]
12500
12501 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
12502 [Steve Henson]
12503
12504 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
12505 instead of using a fixed path.
12506 [Bodo Moeller]
12507
12508 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
12509 [Andy Polyakov]
12510
12511 *) Improvements for VMS support.
12512 [Richard Levitte]
12513
12514
12515 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
12516
12517 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
12518 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
12519 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12520
12521 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
12522 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
12523 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
12524 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
12525 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
12526 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
12527 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
12528 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
12529 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
12530 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
12531 [Steve Henson]
12532
12533 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
12534 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
12535 [Steve Henson]
12536
12537 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
12538 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
12539 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
12540 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
12541 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
12542
12543 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
12544 [Bodo Moeller]
12545
12546 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
12547 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
12548 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
12549 [Steve Henson]
12550
12551 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
12552 [Ben Laurie]
12553
12554 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
12555 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
12556 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
12557 key elements as negative integers.
12558 [Steve Henson]
12559
12560 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
12561 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12562
12563 *) VMS support.
12564 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
12565
12566 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
12567 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
12568 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
12569 [Steve Henson]
12570
12571 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
12572 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
12573 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
12574 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
12575 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
12576 [Bodo Moeller]
12577
12578 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
12579 [Ulf Möller]
12580
12581 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
12582 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
12583 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
12584 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12585
12586 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
12587 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
12588 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
12589
12590 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
12591 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
12592 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
12593 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
12594 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
12595 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
12596 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
12597 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
12598 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
12599
12600 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
12601 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
12602 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
12603 does not influence s as it used to.
12604
12605 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
12606 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
12607 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
12608 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
12609 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
12610 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
12611 [Bodo Moeller]
12612
12613 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
12614 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
12615 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
12616 key type.
12617 [Steve Henson]
12618
12619 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
12620 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
12621 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
12622 and 'x509').
12623 [Steve Henson]
12624
12625 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
12626 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
12627 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
12628 extension option.
12629 [Steve Henson]
12630
12631 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
12632 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
12633 [Ben Laurie]
12634
12635 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
12636 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
12637
12638 *) Support Mingw32.
12639 [Ulf Möller]
12640
12641 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
12642 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12643
12644 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
12645 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12646
12647 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
12648 [Ulf Möller]
12649
12650 *) Update HPUX configuration.
12651 [Anonymous]
12652
12653 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
12654 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12655
12656 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
12657 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
12658 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
12659 DER-encoded.)
12660 [Bodo Moeller]
12661
12662 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
12663 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
12664 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
12665 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
12666 now it really counts the depth.
12667 [Bodo Moeller]
12668
12669 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
12670 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
12671 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
12672 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
12673 didn't match the private key).
12674
12675 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
12676 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
12677 connection using the SSL_CTX).
12678 [Bodo Moeller]
12679
12680 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
12681 [Ulf Möller]
12682
12683 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
12684 David Harris.
12685 [Bodo Moeller]
12686
12687 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
12688 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
12689 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
12690 [Bodo Moeller]
12691
12692 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
12693 [Bodo Moeller]
12694
12695 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
12696 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
12697 such as /usr/local/bin.
12698 [Bodo Moeller]
12699
12700 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
12701 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12702
12703 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
12704 [Ulf Möller]
12705
12706 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
12707 extension adding in x509 utility.
12708 [Steve Henson]
12709
12710 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
12711 [Ulf Möller]
12712
12713 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
12714 prototypes.
12715 [Steve Henson]
12716
12717 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
12718 [Ulf Möller]
12719
12720 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
12721 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
12722 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
12723 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
12724 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
12725 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
12726 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
12727 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
12728 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
12729 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
12730 [Steve Henson]
12731
12732 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
12733 [Bodo Moeller]
12734
12735 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
12736 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
12737 [Bodo Moeller]
12738
12739 *) Fix some race conditions.
12740 [Bodo Moeller]
12741
12742 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
12743 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
12744 [Steve Henson]
12745
12746 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
12747 [Ulf Möller]
12748
12749 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
12750 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
12751 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
12752 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
12753
12754 *) Fix lots of warnings.
12755 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12756
12757 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
12758 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
12759 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12760
12761 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
12762 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12763
12764 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
12765 [Ulf Möller]
12766
12767 *) Fix typos in error codes.
12768 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
12769
12770 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
12771 [Ulf Möller]
12772
12773 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
12774 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12775
12776 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
12777 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
12778 [Steve Henson]
12779
12780 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
12781 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
12782 [Ben Laurie]
12783
12784 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
12785 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
12786 [Steve Henson]
12787
12788 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
12789 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
12790 [Steve Henson]
12791
12792 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
12793 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
12794 [Steve Henson]
12795
12796 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
12797 support typesafe stack.
12798 [Steve Henson]
12799
12800 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
12801 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
12802
12803 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
12804 old X509V3 handling code.
12805 [Steve Henson]
12806
12807 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
12808 [Ulf Möller]
12809
12810 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
12811 [Bodo Moeller]
12812
12813 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
12814 [Ben Laurie]
12815
12816 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
12817 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
12818
12819 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
12820 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
12821 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
12822 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
12823 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
12824 [Ben Laurie]
12825
12826 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
12827 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
12828 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
12829 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
12830 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
12831
12832 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
12833 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
12834 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
12835 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12836
12837 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
12838 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
12839 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
12840 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12841
12842 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
12843 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
12844 all available ciphers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
12845 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
12846 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
12847 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
12848 [Bodo Moeller]
12849
12850 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
12851 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
12852 [Bodo Moeller]
12853
12854 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
12855 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
12856 [Ulf Möller]
12857
12858 *) Tweaks to Configure
12859 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12860
12861 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
12862 yet...
12863 [Steve Henson]
12864
12865 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
12866 [Ulf Möller]
12867
12868 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
12869 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
12870 [Ulf Möller]
12871
12872 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
12873 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
12874 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
12875 [Bodo Moeller]
12876
12877 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
12878 [Bodo Moeller]
12879
12880 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
12881 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
12882 [Steve Henson]
12883
12884 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
12885 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
12886 to library startup routines.
12887 [Steve Henson]
12888
12889 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
12890 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
12891 codes along the way.
12892 [Steve Henson]
12893
12894 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
12895 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
12896 objects to objects.h
12897 [Steve Henson]
12898
12899 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
12900 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
12901 [Steve Henson]
12902
12903 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
12904 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
12905
12906 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
12907 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
12908 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
12909
12910 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
12911 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
12912 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12913
12914 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
12915 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
12916 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
12917
12918
12919 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
12920
12921 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
12922 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
12923 [Ben Laurie]
12924
12925 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
12926 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
12927 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
12928 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
12929 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
12930
12931 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
12932 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
12933 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
12934 document.
12935 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12936
12937 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
12938 Malloc, Free.
12939 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
12940
12941 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
12942 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12943
12944 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
12945 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
12946 if someone would make that last step automatic.
12947 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
12948
12949 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
12950 [Ben Laurie]
12951
12952 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
12953 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
12954 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
12955 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
12956 [Steve Henson]
12957
12958 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
12959 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
12960 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
12961 [Steve Henson]
12962
12963 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
12964 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
12965 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
12966 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
12967 installed as `perl').
12968 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12969
12970 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
12971 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12972
12973 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
12974 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
12975 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
12976 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
12977 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
12978 [Steve Henson]
12979
12980 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
12981 [Ben Laurie]
12982
12983 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
12984 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
12985 is horrible: I feel ill....
12986 [Steve Henson]
12987
12988 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
12989 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
12990 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
12991 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
12992 [Steve Henson]
12993
12994 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
12995 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12996
12997 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
12998 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
12999 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
13000 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13001
13002 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
13003 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
13004 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
13005 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
13006 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
13007 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
13008 openssl_bio.xs.
13009 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13010
13011 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
13012 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
13013
13014 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
13015 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
13016
13017 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
13018 [Ben Laurie]
13019
13020 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
13021 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
13022 in CRLs.
13023 [Steve Henson]
13024
13025 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
13026 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
13027 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
13028 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
13029 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
13030 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
13031 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
13032 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
13033 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
13034 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
13035 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13036
13037 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
13038 [Ben Laurie]
13039
13040 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
13041 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
13042 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
13043 for linking it into DSOs.
13044 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13045
13046 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
13047 Fixed.
13048 [Ben Laurie]
13049
13050 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
13051 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
13052 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
13053 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
13054 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
13055 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13056
13057 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
13058 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
13059 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
13060 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
13061 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
13062 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
13063 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13064
13065 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
13066 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
13067 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
13068 encryption.
13069 [Ben Laurie]
13070
13071 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
13072 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
13073 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
13074 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
13075 [Steve Henson]
13076
13077 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
13078 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
13079 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
13080 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
13081 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
13082 field as blank.
13083 [Steve Henson]
13084
13085 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
13086 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
13087 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
13088 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
13089 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13090
13091 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
13092 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
13093 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
13094
13095 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
13096 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
13097
13098 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
13099 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
13100 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
13101 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
13102 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
13103 [Steve Henson]
13104
13105 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
13106 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
13107 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
13108 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
13109 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
13110 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
13111 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
13112 [Ben Laurie]
13113
13114 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
13115 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
13116 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
13117 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
13118 [Ben Laurie]
13119
13120 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
13121 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
13122
13123 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
13124 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
13125 [Steve Henson]
13126
13127 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
13128 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
13129 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
13130 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
13131 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
13132 (e.g. s_server).
13133 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
13134 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
13135 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
13136 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
13137 no way to reconfigure them.
13138 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
13139 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
13140 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
13141 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
13142 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
13143 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13144
13145 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
13146 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
13147 recognized by the users.
13148 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13149
13150 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
13151 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
13152 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
13153 already masked variable.
13154 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
13155
13156 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
13157 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
13158
13159 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
13160 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
13161 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
13162 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
13163
13164 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
13165 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
13166 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13167
13168 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
13169 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
13170 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
13171 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
13172 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
13173 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
13174 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
13175 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
13176 now, too.
13177 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13178
13179 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
13180 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
13181 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13182
13183 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
13184 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
13185 config file.
13186 [Steve Henson]
13187
13188 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
13189 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
13190
13191 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
13192 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
13193 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
13194 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
13195 [Ben Laurie]
13196
13197 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
13198 [Steve Henson]
13199
13200 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
13201 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13202
13203 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
13204 [Ben Laurie]
13205
13206 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
13207 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
13208 [Steve Henson]
13209
13210 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
13211 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
13212 [Steve Henson]
13213
13214 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
13215 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
13216 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
13217 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
13218 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
13219 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
13220 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
13221 Ben Laurie]
13222
13223 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
13224 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13225
13226 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
13227 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
13228 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
13229 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
13230 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13231
13232 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
13233 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
13234 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
13235 [Steve Henson]
13236
13237 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
13238 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
13239 an example.
13240 [Steve Henson]
13241
13242 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
13243 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
13244 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13245
13246 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
13247 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
13248 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
13249 build instructions.
13250 [Steve Henson]
13251
13252 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
13253 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
13254 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
13255 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
13256 [Steve Henson]
13257
13258 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
13259 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
13260 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
13261 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
13262 [Ben Laurie]
13263
13264 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
13265 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
13266 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
13267 so it wasn't spotted.
13268 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
13269
13270 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
13271 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
13272 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
13273 vectors if you have them.
13274 [Ben Laurie]
13275
13276 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
13277 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
13278 [Ben Laurie]
13279
13280 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
13281 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
13282 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
13283 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
13284 If you do a:
13285 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
13286 it will update them.
13287 [Steve Henson]
13288
13289 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
13290 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
13291 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
13292 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
13293 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
13294 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
13295 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
13296 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13297
13298 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
13299 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
13300 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
13301 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
13302 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
13303 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
13304 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
13305 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
13306 the crypto/md/ stuff).
13307 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13308
13309 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
13310 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
13311 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
13312 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
13313 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
13314 [Steve Henson]
13315
13316 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
13317 INTEGER code.
13318 [Steve Henson]
13319
13320 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
13321 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13322
13323 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
13324 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
13325
13326 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
13327 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
13328 [Ben Laurie]
13329
13330 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
13331 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
13332
13333 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
13334 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
13335
13336 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
13337 [Steve Henson]
13338
13339 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
13340 few typos.
13341 [Steve Henson]
13342
13343 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
13344 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
13345 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
13346 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13347
13348 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
13349 [Steve Henson]
13350
13351 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
13352 [Steve Henson]
13353
13354 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
13355 [Steve Henson]
13356
13357 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
13358 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
13359 [Steve Henson]
13360
13361 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
13362 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
13363 CA extensions.
13364 [Steve Henson]
13365
13366 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
13367 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
13368 [Steve Henson]
13369
13370 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
13371 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
13372 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
13373 [Steve Henson]
13374
13375 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
13376 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
13377 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
13378 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
13379 properly to be processed.
13380 [Steve Henson]
13381
13382 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
13383 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
13384 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
13385 [Ben Laurie]
13386
13387 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
13388 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
13389
13390 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
13391 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
13392 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
13393 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
13394 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
13395 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
13396 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
13397 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
13398 or delete all the .err files.
13399 [Steve Henson]
13400
13401 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
13402 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
13403 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
13404 to regenerate it if needed.
13405 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
13406 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
13407
13408 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
13409 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13410
13411 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
13412 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
13413 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
13414 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
13415 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
13416 [Steve Henson]
13417
13418 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
13419 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13420
13421 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
13422 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13423
13424 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
13425 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
13426 error, but didn't set one).
13427 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13428
13429 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
13430 [Ben Laurie]
13431
13432 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
13433 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
13434 [Steve Henson]
13435
13436 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
13437 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
13438
13439 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
13440 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
13441 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
13442 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
13443 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
13444 OID is not part of the table.
13445 [Steve Henson]
13446
13447 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
13448 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
13449 [Ben Laurie]
13450
13451 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
13452 [Ben Laurie]
13453
13454 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
13455 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
13456 was "1234").
13457 [Steve Henson]
13458
13459 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
13460 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
13461
13462 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
13463 NULL pointers.
13464 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13465
13466 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
13467 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13468
13469 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
13470 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13471
13472 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
13473 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13474
13475 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
13476 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
13477 [Ben Laurie]
13478
13479 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
13480 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
13481 [Steve Henson]
13482
13483 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
13484 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13485
13486 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
13487 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13488
13489 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
13490 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13491
13492 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
13493 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13494
13495 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
13496 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
13497 unused in the certificate verification process.
13498 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13499
13500 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
13501 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
13502 [Steve Henson]
13503
13504 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
13505 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
13506 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
13507
13508 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
13509 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
13510 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
13511 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
13512 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
13513
13514 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
13515 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
13516 [Steve Henson]
13517
13518 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
13519 [Steve Henson]
13520
13521 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
13522 [Paul Sutton]
13523
13524 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
13525 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
13526
13527 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
13528 [Ben Laurie]
13529
13530 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
13531 [Ben Laurie]
13532
13533 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
13534 [Ben Laurie]
13535
13536 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
13537 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
13538 other error libraries.
13539 [Steve Henson]
13540
13541 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
13542 [Steve Henson]
13543
13544 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
13545 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
13546 be read in.
13547 [Steve Henson]
13548
13549 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
13550 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
13551 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
13552 the new set of documentation files.
13553 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13554
13555 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
13556 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
13557 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
13558 number of arguments.
13559 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
13560
13561 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
13562 [Ben Laurie]
13563
13564 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
13565 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
13566 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13567
13568 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
13569 [Ben Laurie]
13570
13571 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
13572 nextstep
13573 ncr-scde
13574 unixware-2.0
13575 unixware-2.0-pentium
13576 sco5-cc.
13577 [Ben Laurie]
13578
13579 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
13580 before they are needed.
13581 [Ben Laurie]
13582
13583 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
13584 [Ben Laurie]
13585
13586
13587 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
13588
13589 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
13590 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
13591 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13592
13593 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
13594 [Paul Sutton]
13595
13596 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
13597 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
13598 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13599
13600 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
13601 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
13602 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
13603
13604 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
13605 when "ssleay" is still not found.
13606 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13607
13608 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
13609 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
13610
13611 *) Updated the README file.
13612 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13613
13614 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
13615 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
13616 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13617
13618 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
13619 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
13620 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13621
13622 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
13623 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
13624 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
13625 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
13626 o removed obsolete TODO file
13627 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
13628 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13629
13630 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
13631 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
13632 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
13633 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
13634 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
13635 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
13636 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13637
13638 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
13639 [Mark J. Cox]
13640
13641 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
13642 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
13643 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
13644 summer 1998.
13645 [The OpenSSL Project]
13646
13647
13648 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
13649
13650 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
13651 [Eric A. Young]
13652
13653 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
13654 [Eric A. Young]
13655
13656 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
13657 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
13658 [Eric A. Young]
13659
13660 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
13661 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
13662 available).
13663 [Eric A. Young]
13664
13665 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
13666 binary structures
13667 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
13668
13669 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
13670 [Eric A. Young]
13671
13672 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
13673 [Eric A. Young]
13674
13675 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
13676 [Eric A. Young]
13677
13678 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
13679 [Eric A. Young]
13680
13681 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
13682 [Eric A. Young]
13683
13684 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
13685 [Eric A. Young]
13686
13687 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
13688 [Eric A. Young]
13689
13690 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
13691 [Eric A. Young]
13692
13693 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
13694 [Eric A. Young]
13695
13696 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
13697 [Eric A. Young]
13698
13699 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
13700 [Eric A. Young]
13701
13702 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
13703 [Eric A. Young]
13704
13705 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
13706 [Eric A. Young]
13707
13708 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
13709 [Eric A. Young]
13710
13711 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
13712 [Eric A. Young]
13713
13714 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
13715 [Eric A. Young]
13716
13717 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
13718 [Eric A. Young]
13719
13720 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
13721 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
13722 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
13723 [Eric A. Young]
13724
13725 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
13726 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
13727 [Eric A. Young]
13728
13729 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
