5 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
8 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
9
10 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
11 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
12 [Steve Henson]
13
14 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
15 [Ben Laurie]
16
17 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
18 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
19 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
20 CONF_VALUE.
21 [Ben Laurie]
22
23 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
24 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
25 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
26 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
27 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
28 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
29 [Steve Henson]
30
31 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
32 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
33
34 This work was sponsored by Google.
35 [Steve Henson]
36
37 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
38 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
39 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
40 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
41 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
42 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
43 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
44 default.
45
46 This work was sponsored by Google.
47 [Steve Henson]
48
49 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
50
51 This work was sponsored by Google.
52 [Steve Henson]
53
54 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
55 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
56 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
57 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
58
59 This work was sponsored by Google.
60 [Steve Henson]
61
62 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
63 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
64 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
65 CRL functionality in future.
66
67 This work was sponsored by Google.
68 [Steve Henson]
69
70 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
71
72 This work was sponsored by Google.
73 [Steve Henson]
74
75 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
76 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
77
78 This work was sponsored by Google.
79 [Steve Henson]
80
81 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
82 and URI types are currently supported.
83
84 This work was sponsored by Google.
85 [Steve Henson]
86
87 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
88 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
89 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
90 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
91 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
92 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
93 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
94 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
95
96 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
97 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
98 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
99
100 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
101 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
102 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
103 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
104
105 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
106 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
107 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
108 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
109 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
110 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
111 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
112 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
113 of &errno.)
114 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
115
116 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
117 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
118 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
119
120 This work was sponsored by Google.
121 [Steve Henson]
122
123 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
124 [Ben Laurie]
125
126 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
127 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
128 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
129 [Ben Laurie]
130
131 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
132 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
133 [Nick Mathewson]
134
135 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
136 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
137 [Ben Laurie]
138
139 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
140 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
141 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
142 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
143 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
144 content types and variants.
145 [Steve Henson]
146
147 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
148 [Steve Henson]
149
150 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
151 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
152 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
153 files from the associated perl scripts.
154 [Steve Henson]
155
156 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
157 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
158 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
159
160 *) s390x assembler pack.
161 [Andy Polyakov]
162
163 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
164 "family."
165 [Andy Polyakov]
166
167 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
168 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
169 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
170 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
171 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
172 to use. For example, specify an option
173
174 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
175
176 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
177 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
178 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
179 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
180 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
181 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
182
183 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
184 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
185 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
186 return non-zero for success.
187
188 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
189 by using
190
191 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
192 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
193
194 where
195
196 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
197 void *arg;
198
199 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
200 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
201 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
202 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
203 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
204 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
205 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
206 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
207 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
208
209 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
210 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
211 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
212 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
213 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
214 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
215
216 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
217 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
218 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
219 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
220 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
221 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
222
223 [Bodo Moeller]
224
225 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
226 MAC.
227
228 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
229
230 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
231 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
232 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
233 supported.
234
235 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
236 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
237 SSL_SESSION.
238
239 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
240 protection in servers so again support should be possible
241 with no application modification.
242
243 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
244 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
245
246 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
247 or server extensions to be examined.
248
249 This work was sponsored by Google.
250 [Steve Henson]
251
252 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
253 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
254 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
255
256 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
257 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
258 ciphersuite support.
259 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
260
261 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
262 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
263 to output in BER and PEM format.
264 [Steve Henson]
265
266 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
267 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
268 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
269 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
270 -macopt options to dgst utility.
271 [Steve Henson]
272
273 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
274 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
275 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
276 utility.
277 [Steve Henson]
278
279 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
280 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
281 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
282 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
283 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
284 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
285 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
286 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
287 enabled again.
288
289 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
290 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
291 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
292 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
293
294 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
295 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
296 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
297 the default order.
298 [Bodo Moeller]
299
300 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
301 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
302 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
303 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
304 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
305 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
306 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
307 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
308 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
309
310 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
311 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
312 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
313 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
314 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
315 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
316 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
317 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
318 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
319 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
320 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
321 kinds of kludges.
322
323 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
324 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
325 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
326
327 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
328 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
329 "CAMELLIA256".
330 [Bodo Moeller]
331
332 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
333 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
334 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
335 [Nils Larsch]
336
337 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
338 it yet and it is largely untested.
339 [Steve Henson]
340
341 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
342 [Nils Larsch]
343
344 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
345 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
346 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
347 [Steve Henson]
348
349 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
350 [Andy Polyakov]
351
352 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
353 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
354 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
355 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
356 [Steve Henson]
357
358 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
359 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
360 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
361 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
362 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
363 [Steve Henson]
364
365 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
366 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
367 [Cryptocom]
368
369 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
370 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
371 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
372 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
373 [Steve Henson]
374
375 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
376 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
377 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
378 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
379 [Steve Henson]
380
381 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
382 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
383 [Steve Henson]
384
385 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
386 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
387 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
388 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
389 [Steve Henson]
390
391 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
392 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
393 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
394 [Steve Henson]
395
396 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
397 utility.
398 [Steve Henson]
399
400 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
401 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
402 [Steve Henson]
403
404 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
405 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
406 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
407 if necessary.
408 [Steve Henson]
409
410 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
411 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
412 to free up any added signature OIDs.
413 [Steve Henson]
414
415 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
416 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
417 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
418 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
419 [Steve Henson]
420
421 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
422 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
423 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
424 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
425 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
426 the array representation useful in a more general context.
427 [Douglas Stebila]
428
429 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
430 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
431 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
432 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
433 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
434
435 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
436 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
437 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
438 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
439 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
440 protocol).
441
442 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
443 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
444 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
445 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
446
447 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
448 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
449 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
450 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
451 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
452
453 aECDH - ECDH cert
454 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
455 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
456
457 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
458 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
459
460 [Bodo Moeller]
461
462 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
463 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
464 [Steve Henson]
465
466 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
467 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
468 [Steve Henson]
469
470 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
471 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
472 functional reference processing.
473 [Steve Henson]
474
475 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
476 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
477 process.
478 [Steve Henson]
479
480 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
481 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
482 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
483 [Steve Henson]
484
485 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
486 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
487 application to support multiple signers.
488 [Steve Henson]
489
490 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
491 digest MAC.
492 [Steve Henson]
493
494 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
495 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
496 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
497 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
498 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
499 [Steve Henson]
500
501 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
502 new API.
503 [Steve Henson]
504
505 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
506 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
507 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
508 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
509 a no op.
510 [Steve Henson]
511
512 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
513 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
514 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
515 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
516 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
517 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
518 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
519 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
520 [Steve Henson]
521
522 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
523 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
524 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
525 between digests and public key types.
526 [Steve Henson]
527
528 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
529 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
530 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
531 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
532 [Steve Henson]
533
534 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
535 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
536 key ASN1 method.
537 [Steve Henson]
538
539 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
540 [Steve Henson]
541
542 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
543 pkeyutl.
544 [Steve Henson]
545
546 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
547 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
548 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
549 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
550 pkey, genpkey.
551 [Steve Henson]
552
553 *) BeOS support.
554 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
555
556 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
557 manual pages.
558 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
559
560 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
561 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
562 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
563 functionality for RSA.
564 [Steve Henson]
565
566 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
567 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
568 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
569 [Steve Henson]
570
571 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
572 key API, doesn't do much yet.
573 [Steve Henson]
574
575 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
576 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
577 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
578 [Steve Henson]
579
580 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
581 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
582 [Douglas Stebila]
583
584 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
585 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
586 [Steve Henson]
587
588 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
589 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
590 type.
591 [Steve Henson]
592
593 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
594 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
595 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
596 structure.
597 [Steve Henson]
598
599 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
600 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
601 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
602 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
603 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
604 of public and private key structures.
605 [Steve Henson]
606
607 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
608 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
609 [Douglas Stebila]
610
611 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
612 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
613 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
614
615 New ciphersuites:
616 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
617 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
618
619 New functions:
620 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
621 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
622 SSL_get_psk_identity
623 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
624
625 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
626
627 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
628 and response verification functionality.
629 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
630
631 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
632 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
633 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
634 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
635 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
636 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
637 server_name extension.
638
639 New functions (subject to change):
640
641 SSL_get_servername()
642 SSL_get_servername_type()
643 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
644
645 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
646
647 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
648 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
649 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
650 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
651 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
652
653 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
654
655 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
656 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
657 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
658 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
659 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
660 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
661 option.
662
663 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
664
665 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
666 [Andy Polyakov]
667
668 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
669 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
670 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
671 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
672 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
673 [Andy Polyakov]
674
675 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
676 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
677 macro.
678 [Bodo Moeller]
679
680 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
681 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
682 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
683 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
684 [Andy Polyakov]
685
686 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
687 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
688 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
689 using the maximum available value.
690 [Steve Henson]
691
692 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
693 in addition to the text details.
694 [Bodo Moeller]
695
696 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
697 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
698 handle several customised structures at all.
699 [Steve Henson]
700
701 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
702 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
703 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
704 [Steve Henson]
705
706 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
707 [Steve Henson]
708
709 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
710 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
711 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
712 [Steve Henson]
713
714 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
715 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
716 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
717 [Nils Larsch]
718
719 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
720 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
721 all fields.
722 [Steve Henson]
723
724 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
725 [Steve Henson]
726
727 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
728 [NTT]
729
730 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [xx XXX xxxx]
731
732 *) Update Configure code and WIN32 build scripts to support experimental
733 code. This is surrounded by OPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_FOO and not compiled
734 in by default. Using the configuration option "enable-experimental-foo"
735 enables it. Use this option for JPAKE.
736 [Steve Henson]
737
738 *) Add JPAKE support, including demo authentication in s_client and
739 s_server.
740 [Ben Laurie]
741
742 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
743 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
744
745 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
746 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
747
748 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
749 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
750 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
751 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
752 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
753 [Bodo Moeller]
754
755 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
756
757 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
758 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
759 [Nagendra Modadugu]
760
761 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
762 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
763 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
764 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
765
766 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
767 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
768
769 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
770
771 *) Various precautionary measures:
772
773 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
774
775 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
776 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
777 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
778
779 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
780 outside the expected range.
781
782 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
783 builds.
784
785 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
786
787 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
788 the load fails. Useful for distros.
789 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
790
791 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
792 [Steve Henson]
793
794 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
795 [Huang Ying]
796
797 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
798
799 This work was sponsored by Logica.
800 [Steve Henson]
801
802 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
803 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
804 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
805
806 This work was sponsored by Logica.
807 [Steve Henson]
808
809 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
810 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
811 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
812 files.
813 [Steve Henson]
814
815 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
816
817 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
818 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
819 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
820 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
821
822 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
823 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
824 [Joe Orton]
825
826 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
827
828 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
829 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
830 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
831
832 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
833
834 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
835 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
836 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
837 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
838 [Lutz Jaenicke]
839
840 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
841 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
842 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
843 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
844 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
845 invalid read after the end of 'db').
846 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
847
848 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
849
850 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
851 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
852 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
853 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
854 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
855
856 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
857 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
858
859 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
860 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
861 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
862 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
863 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
864
865 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
866
867 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
868 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
869 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
870 sets may exist with different names.
871 [Steve Henson]
872
873 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
874 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
875 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
876 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
877 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
878 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
879 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
880 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
881 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
882 implementation.
883 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
884
885 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
886 implemention in the following ways:
887
888 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
889 hard coded.
890
891 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
892 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
893 ignored for embedded content.
894
895 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
896 with the enable-cms configuration option.
897 [Steve Henson]
898
899 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
900 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
901 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
902 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
903
904 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
905 uncompresses any data passed through it.
906 [Steve Henson]
907
908 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
909 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
910 [Steve Henson]
911
912 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
913 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
914 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
915 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
916 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
917 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
918 data.
919 [Steve Henson]
920
921 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
922 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
923 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
924
925 *) Netware support:
926
927 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
928 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
929 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
930 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
931 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
932 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
933 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
934 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
935 platform
936 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
937 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
938 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
939 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
940 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
941 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
942 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
943
944 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
945 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
946 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
947 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
948 to s_client and s_server.
949 [Steve Henson]
950
951 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
952
953 *) Fix various bugs:
954 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
955 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
956 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
957 + Fix ia64 assembler code
958 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
959
960 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
961
962 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
963 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
964 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
965 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
966 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
967 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
968 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
969 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
970 [Andy Polyakov]
971
972 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
973 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
974 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
975 Steve Henson]
976
977 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
978 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
979 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
980 supported.
981
982 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
983 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
984 SSL_SESSION.
985
986 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
987 protection in servers so again support should be possible
988 with no application modification.
989
990 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
991 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
992
993 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
994 or server extensions to be examined.
995
996 This work was sponsored by Google.
997 [Steve Henson]
998
999 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1000 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1001 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1002 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1003 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1004 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1005 server_name extension.
1006
1007 New functions (subject to change):
1008
1009 SSL_get_servername()
1010 SSL_get_servername_type()
1011 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
1012
1013 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1014
1015 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1016 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1017 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1018 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1019 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1020
1021 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1022
1023 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1024 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1025 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1026 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1027 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1028 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1029 option.
1030
1031 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
1032
1033 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
1034 [Steve Henson]
1035
1036 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
1037 [Andy Polyakov]
1038
1039 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
1040 (which previously caused an internal error).
1041 [Bodo Moeller]
1042
1043 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
1044 [Ben Laurie]
1045
1046 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
1047 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
1048
1049 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
1050 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
1051 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
1052
1053 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
1054 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
1055 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
1056 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
1057
1058 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1059 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1060 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
1061 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
1062
1063 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
1064 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
1065 information. For detailed background information, see
1066 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
1067 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
1068 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
1069 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
1070 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
1071 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
1072 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
1073 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
1074 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
1075 remove a conditional branch.
1076
1077 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
1078 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
1079 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
1080 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
1081 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
1082 remains as a deprecated alias.
1083
1084 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
1085 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
1086 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
1087 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
1088
1089 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
1090 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
1091 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
1092 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
1093 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
1094 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
1095 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
1096 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
1097
1098 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
1099
1100 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1101 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1102 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1103 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1104 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1105 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1106 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1107 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1108 in a different context.
1109 [Bodo Moeller]
1110
1111 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1112 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1113 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1114 [Bodo Moeller]
1115
1116 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
1117 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
1118 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
1119
1120 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
1121
1122 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
1123 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
1124 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1125 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
1126 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
1127 [Victor Duchovni]
1128
1129 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
1130 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
1131 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
1132 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
1133 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
1134 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
1135 [Bodo Moeller]
1136
1137 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1138 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1139 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1140 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1141 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1142 [Bodo Moeller]
1143
1144 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
1145 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
1146
1147 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1148 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1149 Improve header file function name parsing.
1150 [Steve Henson]
1151
1152 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
1153 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
1154 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
1155
1156 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
1157
1158 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1159 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1160 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1161
1162 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1163 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1164
1165 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1166 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1167
1168 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1169 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1170 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1171
1172 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
1173 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
1174 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
1175 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
1176 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
1177 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
1178 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
1179 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
1180 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
1181
1182 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
1183 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
1184 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
1185 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
1186 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
1187
1188 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
1189 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
1190 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
1191 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
1192 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
1193 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
1194 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
1195 multiple values to extend the available space.
1196
1197 [Bodo Moeller]
1198
1199 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1200
1201 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1202 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1203
1204 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
1205 [Ben Laurie]
1206
1207 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1208 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1209 undesirable limitations.
1210 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1211
1212 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
1213 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
1214 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
1215 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
1216 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
1217 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
1218 to avoid potential handshake problems.
1219 [Bodo Moeller]
1220
1221 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1222
1223 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1224 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1225 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1226
1227 The latter two were purportedly from
1228 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1229 appear there.
1230
1231 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1232 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1233 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1234 [Bodo Moeller]
1235
1236 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1237 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1238 [Bodo Moeller]
1239
1240 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
1241 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
1242 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
1243 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
1244
1245 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1246 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1247 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
1248 [NTT]
1249
1250 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
1251 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
1252 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
1253 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
1254 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
1255 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
1256 [Steve Henson]
1257
1258 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
1259
1260 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
1261 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
1262 [Steve Henson]
1263
1264 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
1265 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
1266
1267 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1268 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
1269 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
1270 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
1271 [Douglas Stebila]
1272
1273 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
1274 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
1275 [Steve Henson]
1276
1277 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
1278 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
1279 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
1280 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
1281 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
1282 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
1283 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
1284 can't be loaded.
1285 [Steve Henson]
1286
1287 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
1288 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
1289 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
1290 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
1291 [Steve Henson]
1292
1293 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
1294 under VC++ build system.
1295 [Steve Henson]
1296
1297 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
1298 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
1299 [Richard Levitte]
1300
1301 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
1302
1303 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1304 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1305 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1306 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1307 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1308
1309 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1310 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1311 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1312
1313 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1314 [Steve Henson]
1315
1316 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1317 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1318 [Nils Larsch]
1319
1320 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1321 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1322
1323 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1324 [Nick Mathewson]
1325
1326 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1327 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1328
1329 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1330 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1331 [Steve Henson]
1332
1333 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
1334 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
1335 smime utility.
1336 [Steve Henson]
1337
1338 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
1339
1340 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1341 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
1342
1343 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1344 [Richard Levitte]
1345
1346 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1347 key into the same file any more.
1348 [Richard Levitte]
1349
1350 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1351 [Andy Polyakov]
1352
1353 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1354 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1355
1356 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1357 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1358 [Richard Levitte]
1359
1360 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1361 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1362 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1363 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1364 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1365 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1366
1367 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1368 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1369 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1370 [Steve Henson]
1371
1372 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1373 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1374 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1375 - add new function for parameter creation
1376 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1377 BN_BLINDING parameters
1378 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1379 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1380 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1381 threads.
1382 [Nils Larsch]
1383
1384 *) Add support for DTLS.
1385 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1386
1387 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1388 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1389 [Walter Goulet]
1390
1391 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1392 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1393 [Nils Larsch]
1394
1395 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1396 the apps/openssl applications.
1397 [Nils Larsch]
1398
1399 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1400 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1401 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1402 [Ben Laurie]
1403
1404 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1405 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1406
1407 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1408 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1409
1410 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1411 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1412 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1413 avoid this algorithm.)
1414
1415 [Bodo Moeller]
1416
1417 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1418 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1419 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1420 [Richard Levitte]
1421
1422 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1423 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1424 [Andy Polyakov]
1425
1426 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1427 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1428 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1429 pod file:
1430
1431 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1432
1433 The blank line is mandatory.
1434
1435 [Steve Henson]
1436
1437 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1438 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1439 sources.
1440 [Steve Henson]
1441
1442 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1443 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1444
1445 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1446 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1447 to support policy checking and print out.
1448 [Steve Henson]
1449
1450 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1451 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1452 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1453 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1454
1455 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1456 [Geoff Thorpe]
1457
1458 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1459 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1460
1461 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1462 implementation contributed by IBM.
1463 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1464
1465 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1466 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1467 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1468 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1469
1470 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1471 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1472
1473 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1474 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1475 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1476 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1477 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1478 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1479 [Steve Henson]
1480
1481 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1482 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1483 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1484 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1485 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1486 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1487 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1488 [Geoff Thorpe]
1489
1490 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1491 [Steve Henson]
1492
1493 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1494 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1495 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1496 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1497 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1498 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1499 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1500 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1501 [Steve Henson]
1502
1503 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1504 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1505 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1506 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1507 [Steve Henson]
1508
1509 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1510 syntax:
1511
1512 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1513 [Steve Henson]
1514
1515 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1516 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1517 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1518 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1519 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1520 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1521 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1522 [Geoff Thorpe]
1523
1524 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1525 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1526 [Geoff Thorpe]
1527
1528 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1529 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1530 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1531 [Steve Henson]
1532
1533 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1534 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1535 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1536 below).
1537 [Geoff Thorpe]
1538
1539 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1540 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1541 [Richard Levitte]
1542
1543 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1544 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1545 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1546 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1547 [Geoff Thorpe]
1548
1549 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1550 initialised value as BN_new().
1551 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1552
1553 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1554 [Steve Henson]
1555
1556 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1557 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1558 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1559 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1560 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1561 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1562 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1563 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1564 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1565 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1566 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1567 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1568 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1569 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1570 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1571
1572 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1573 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1574 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1575 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1576 [Geoff Thorpe]
1577
1578 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1579 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1580 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1581 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1582 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1583 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1584 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1585 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1586 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1587 [Geoff Thorpe]
1588
1589 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1590 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1591 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1592 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1593 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1594 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1595 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1596 [Geoff Thorpe]
1597
1598 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1599 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1600 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1601 these have been updated also.
1602 [Geoff Thorpe]
1603
1604 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1605 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1606 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1607 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1608 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1609 functions.
1610 [Steve Henson]
1611
1612 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1613 structure of type "other".
1614 [Steve Henson]
1615
1616 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1617 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1618 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1619 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1620 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1621 situation in the script.
1622 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1623
1624 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1625 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1626 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1627 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1628 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1629 used as premaster secret.
1630 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1631
1632 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1633 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1634 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1635
1636 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1637 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1638
1639 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1640 control of the error stack.
1641 [Richard Levitte]
1642
1643 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1644 [Richard Levitte]
1645
1646 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1647 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1648 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1649 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1650 [Richard Levitte]
1651
1652 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1653 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1654 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1655 [Richard Levitte]
1656
1657 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1658 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1659 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1660 a memory area.
1661 [Richard Levitte]
1662
1663 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1664 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1665 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1666 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1667 [Richard Levitte]
1668
1669 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1670 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1671 the following flags are defined:
1672
1673 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1674 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1675 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1676 number.
1677
1678 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1679 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1680 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1681 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1682 returns zero.
1683 [Richard Levitte]
1684
1685 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1686 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1687 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1688 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1689 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1690 [Richard Levitte]
1691
1692 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1693 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1694 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1695 [Richard Levitte]
1696
1697 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1698 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1699 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1700 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1701 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1702 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1703 [Richard Levitte]
1704
1705 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1706 req and dirName.
1707 [Steve Henson]
1708
1709 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1710 [Steve Henson]
1711
1712 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1713 [Steve Henson]
1714
1715 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1716 [Steve Henson]
1717
1718 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1719 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1720 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1721 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1722 default implementation more easily.
1723 [Geoff Thorpe]
1724
1725 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1726 in config files.
1727 [Steve Henson]
1728
1729 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1730 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1731 [Richard Levitte]
1732
1733 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1734 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1735 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1736 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1737
1738 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1739 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1740 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1741 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1742 [Steve Henson]
1743
1744 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1745 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1746 to do it.
1747 [Richard Levitte]
1748
1749 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1750 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1751 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1752 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1753 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1754 scalar * generator).
1755 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1756
1757 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1758 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1759 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1760 correctly.
1761 [Steve Henson]
1762
1763 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1764 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1765 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1766 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1767 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1768 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1769 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1770 linker additions, eg;
1771 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1772 [Geoff Thorpe]
1773
1774 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1775 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1776 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1777 [Geoff Thorpe]
1778
1779 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1780 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1781 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1782 via PR#459)
1783 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1784
1785 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1786 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1787 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1788 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1789 [Geoff Thorpe]
1790
1791 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1792 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1793 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1794 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1795 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1796 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1797 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1798 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1799 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1800 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1801
1802 Example for using the new callback interface:
1803
1804 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1805 void *my_arg = ...;
1806 BN_GENCB my_cb;
1807
1808 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1809
1810 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1811 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1812 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1813 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1814 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1815 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1816 */
1817
1818 [Geoff Thorpe]
1819
1820 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1821 available to TLS with the number defined in
1822 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1823 [Richard Levitte]
1824
1825 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1826 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1827
1828 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1829 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1830 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1831 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1832
1833 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1834 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1835
1836 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1837 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1838 well.
1839 [Richard Levitte]
1840
1841 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1842 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1843 [Richard Levitte]
1844
1845 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1846 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1847 and a macro that behave like
1848 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1849
1850 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1851 [Nils Larsch]
1852
1853 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1854 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1855 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1856 if applicable.
1857 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1858
1859 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1860 [Bodo Moeller]
1861
1862 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1863 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1864 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1865 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1866 directory engines/.
1867 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1868 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1869 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1870 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1871 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1872 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1873 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1874 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1875
1876 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1877 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1878 [Richard Levitte]
1879
1880 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1881 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1882
1883 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1884 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1885 files while avoiding the low level API.
1886
1887 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1888 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1889 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1890 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1891
1892 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1893 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1894 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1895 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1896 instead of the low level API.
1897 [Steve Henson]
1898
1899 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1900 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1901 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1902 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1903 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1904 PKCS#7 code.
1905
1906 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1907 down to the template encoder.
1908 [Steve Henson]
1909
1910 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1911 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1912 [Bodo Moeller]
1913
1914 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1915 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1916 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1917 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1918
1919 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1920 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1921
1922 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1923 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1924
1925 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1926 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1927 [Bodo Moeller]
1928
1929 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1930 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1931 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1932 [Bodo Moeller]
1933
1934 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1935 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1936
1937 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1938 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1939
1940 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1941 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1942 New EC_METHOD:
1943
1944 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1945
1946 New API functions:
1947
1948 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1949 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1950 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1951 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1952 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1953 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1954
1955 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1956 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1957 enable it).
1958
1959 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1960 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1961 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1962 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1963 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1964 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1965 various internal method names.)
1966
1967 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1968 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1969
1970 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1971 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1972
1973 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1974 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1975
1976 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1977 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1978 methods are undefined.
1979
1980 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1981 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1982
1983 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1984 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1985 length of the modulus.
1986
1987 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1988 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1989
1990 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1991 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1992
1993 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1994 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1995
1996 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1997 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1998 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1999
2000 BN_GF2m_add
2001 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]

2010
2011 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
2012 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
2013
2014 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
2015 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
2016 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
2017 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
2018 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
2019 where
2020 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
2021 This applies to the following functions:
2022
2023 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
2024 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
2025 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
2026 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
2027 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
2028 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
2029 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
2030 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
2031 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
2032 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
2033
2034 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
2035
2036 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
2037 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
2038
2039 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
2040
2041 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
2042 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
2043 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
2044 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
2045 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
2046
2047 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2048 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2049
2050 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
2051 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
2052 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
2053
2054 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
2055 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
2056
2057 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
2058 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
2059 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
2060 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
2061 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2062
2063 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
2064 functions
2065 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
2066 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
2067 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
2068 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
2069 These control ASN1 encoding details:
2070 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
2071 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
2072 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
2073 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
2074 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
2075 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
2076 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
2077
2078 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
2079 functions
2080 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
2081 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
2082 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
2083 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
2084 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2085
2086 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
2087 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
2088 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
2089 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2090
2091 *) Add functions
2092 EC_POINT_point2bn()
2093 EC_POINT_bn2point()
2094 EC_POINT_point2hex()
2095 EC_POINT_hex2point()
2096 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
2097 EC_POINT_oct2point().
2098 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2099
2100 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
2101 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
2102 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
2103 EC_GROUP_get_order()
2104 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
2105 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
2106 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
2107 adding different types of curves.
2108 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
2109
2110 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
2111 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
2112 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
2113 [Bodo Moeller]
2114
2115 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
2116 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
2117
2118 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
2119 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
2120 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
2121 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2122
2123 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
2124
2125 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
2126 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
2127
2128 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
2129 library. Most notably,
2130 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
2131 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
2132 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
2133 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
2134 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
2135 extracted before the specific public key;
2136 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
2137 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2138
2139 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
2140 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
2141 function
2142 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
2143 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
2144 EC_get_builtin_curves().
2145 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
2146 accessed via
2147 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
2148 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
2149 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
2150
2151 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2152 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2153 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2154 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2155 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2156 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2157 differing sizes.
2158 [Richard Levitte]
2159
2160 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
2161
2162 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2163 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2164 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2165 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2166 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2167 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2168 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2169 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2170 in a different context.
2171 [Bodo Moeller]
2172
2173 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
2174
2175 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
2176 sensitive data.
2177 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
2178
2179 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2180 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2181 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2182 [Bodo Moeller]
2183
2184 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
2185 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2186 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
2187 [Victor Duchovni]
2188
2189 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2190 [Steve Henson]
2191
2192 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2193 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2194 [Steve Henson]
2195
2196 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2197 run algorithm test programs.
2198 [Steve Henson]
2199
2200 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
2201 [Steve Henson]
2202
2203 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2204 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2205 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2206 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2207 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2208 [Bodo Moeller]
2209
2210 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2211 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2212 [Steve Henson]
2213
2214 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2215
2216 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2217 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2218 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2219
2220 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2221 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2222
2223 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2224 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2225
2226 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2227 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2228 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2229
2230 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2231 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2232 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2233 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2234 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2235 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2236 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2237 [Bodo Moeller]
2238
2239 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2240
2241 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2242 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2243
2244 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2245 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2246 undesirable limitations.
2247 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2248
2249 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2250
2251 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2252 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2253 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2254
2255 The latter two were purportedly from
2256 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2257 appear there.
2258
2259 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
2260 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2261 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2262 [Bodo Moeller]
2263
2264 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2265 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2266 [Bodo Moeller]
2267
2268 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2269
2270 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2271 module in FIPS mode.
2272 [Steve Henson]
2273
2274 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
2275 [Steve Henson]
2276
2277 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
2278 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
2279 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
2280 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
2281 [Steve Henson]
2282
2283 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
2284
2285 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
2286 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
2287 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
2288 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
2289 the difference induced by this change.
2290 [Andy Polyakov]
2291
2292 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
2293
2294 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2295 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2296 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2297 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2298 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2299
2300 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2301 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2302 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2303
2304 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
2305 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
2306 [Steve Henson]
2307
2308 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
2309 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
2310 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
2311 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
2312 biased k.)
2313 [Bodo Moeller]
2314
2315 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2316 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2317 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2318 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2319 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2320
2321 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2322 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2323 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2324 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2325 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2326 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2327
2328 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2329
2330 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2331 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2332 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2333 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2334 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2335 [Bodo Moeller]
2336
2337 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2338 clients need.
2339 [Steve Henson]
2340
2341 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2342 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2343 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2344 [Steve Henson]
2345
2346 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2347 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2348 structures constant.
2349 [Steve Henson]
2350
2351 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2352
2353 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2354 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
2355
2356 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2357 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2358 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2359 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2360 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2361 some needed definitions.
2362 [Steve Henson]
2363
2364 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2365 [Ulf Möller]
2366
2367 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2368 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2369 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2370 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2371 [Richard Levitte]
2372
2373 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2374
2375 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2376 server and client random values. Previously
2377 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2378 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2379
2380 This change has negligible security impact because:
2381
2382 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2383 data.
2384
2385 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2386 handshake.
2387
2388 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2389 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2390 values.
2391
2392 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2393 to our attention.
2394
2395 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2396
2397 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2398 [Ulf Möller]
2399
2400 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2401 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2402 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2403
2404 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2405 [Steve Henson]
2406
2407 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2408 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2409 [Andy Polyakov]
2410
2411 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2412 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2413 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2414
2415 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2416 [Steve Henson]
2417
2418 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2419 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2420 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2421 certificates.
2422 [Steve Henson]
2423
2424 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2425 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2426 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2427 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2428
2429 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2430 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2431 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2432 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2433 been given)
2434 [Richard Levitte]
2435
2436 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2437
2438 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2439 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2440 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2441 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2442 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2443 [Steve Henson]
2444
2445 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2446 [Steve Henson]
2447
2448 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2449 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2450
2451 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2452 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2453 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2454 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2455 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2456 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2457 rather than being initialized to 1.
2458 [Steve Henson]
2459
2460 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2461
2462 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2463 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2464 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2465
2466 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2467 (CVE-2004-0112)
2468 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2469
2470 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2471 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2472 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2473 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2474 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2475 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2476 [Richard Levitte]
2477
2478 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2479 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2480 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2481 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2482 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2483 for these cases.
2484 [Steve Henson]
2485
2486 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2487 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2488 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2489 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2490 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2491 [Steve Henson]
2492
2493 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2494 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2495 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2496 < 0.9.7.
2497 [Steve Henson]
2498
2499 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2500 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2501
2502 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2503 [Steve Henson]
2504
2505 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2506
2507 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2508
2509 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2510 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2511
2512 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2513
2514 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2515 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2516
2517 [Steve Henson]
2518
2519 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2520 exiting on the first error in a request.
2521 [Steve Henson]
2522
2523 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2524 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2525 specifications.
2526 [Steve Henson]
2527
2528 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2529 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2530 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2531 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2532
2533 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2534 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2535 [Richard Levitte]
2536
2537 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2538 blocks during encryption.
2539 [Richard Levitte]
2540
2541 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2542 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2543 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2544 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2545 certain size.
2546 [Steve Henson]
2547
2548 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2549 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2550 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2551 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2552 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2553 parser.
2554 [Steve Henson]
2555
2556 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2557
2558 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2559 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2560 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2561 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2562 [Bodo Moeller]
2563
2564 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2565 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2566 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2567 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2568 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2569
2570 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2571 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2572 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2573 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2574 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2575 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2576 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2577 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2578 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2579 [Bodo Moeller]
2580
2581 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2582 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2583 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2584 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2585 [Geoff Thorpe]
2586
2587 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2588 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2589 [Ulf Moeller]
2590
2591 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2592
2593 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2594 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2595 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2596 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2597 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2598
2599 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2600 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2601 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2602
2603 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2604 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2605 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2606 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2607 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2608
2609 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2610 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2611 used by default when no-err is given.
2612 [Richard Levitte]
2613
2614 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2615 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2616
2617 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2618 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2619 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2620 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2621 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2622
2623 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2624 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2625 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2626 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2627
2628 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2629
2630 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2631
2632 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2633
2634 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2635 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2636 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2637 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2638 root is omitted).
2639 [Steve Henson]
2640
2641 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2642 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2643
2644 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2645 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2646 [Steve Henson]
2647
2648 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2649 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2650 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2651 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2652 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2653
2654 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2655 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2656 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2657 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2658 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2659 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2660 followup to PR #377.
2661 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2662
2663 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2664 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2665 [Andy Polyakov]
2666
2667 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2668 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2669 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
2670 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
2671
2672 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
2673
2674 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
2675 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
2676
2677 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
2678 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
2679 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
2680 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
2681 client and server.
2682 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2683 PR #377.
2684 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2685
2686 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
2687 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2688 removed entirely.
2689 [Richard Levitte]
2690
2691 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2692 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2693 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2694 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2695 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2696 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2697 of libcrypto.
2698 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2699 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2700 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2701 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2702 have to be made anyway).
2703 [Richard Levitte]
2704
2705 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2706 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2707 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2708 [Steve Henson]
2709
2710 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2711 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2712 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2713 [Richard Levitte]
2714
2715 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2716 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2717 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2718
2719 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
2720 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2721 edit numbers of the version.
2722 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2723
2724 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2725 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
2726 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2727
2728 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2729 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2730
2731 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2732 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2733 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2734
2735 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2736 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2737
2738 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
2739 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2740
2741 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2742 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2743
2744 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2745 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2746
2747 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2748 overflows.
2749 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2750
2751 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2752 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2753 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2754
2755 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2756 representations in a platform independent manner.
2757 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2758
2759 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2760 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2761 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2762
2763 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
2764 indents.
2765 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2766
2767 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
2768 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2769
2770 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
2771 full. Fixed.
2772 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2773
2774 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
2775 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
2776 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2777
2778 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
2779 unconditionally).
2780 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2781
2782 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
2783 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2784
2785 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
2786 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2787
2788 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
2789 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2790
2791 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
2792 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2793
2794 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2795 CBCParameter.
2796 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2797
2798 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
2799 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2800
2801 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
2802 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2803
2804 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2805 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2806 exploitable.
2807 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2808
2809 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2810 the 0.9.6 release series:
2811
2812 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2813 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2814 (CVE-2002-0657)
2815 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2816
2817 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2818 [Richard Levitte]
2819
2820 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2821 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2822
2823 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2824 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2825
2826 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2827 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2828 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2829 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2830
2831 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2832 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2833 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2834
2835 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2836 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2837 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2838 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2839
2840 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2841 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2842 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2843 some local tweaks:
2844
2845 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2846 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2847 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2848 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2849 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2850 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2851 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2852 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2853 done
2854
2855 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2856 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2857 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2858 [Richard Levitte]
2859
2860 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2861 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2862 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2863 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2864 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2865
2866 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2867 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2868
2869 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2870 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2871 [Richard Levitte]
2872
2873 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2874 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2875 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2876 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2877 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2878 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2879 [Steve Henson]
2880
2881 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2882 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2883 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2884 [Steve Henson]
2885
2886 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2887 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2888 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2889
2890 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2891 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2892 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2893 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2894 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2895 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2896 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2897 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2898
2899 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2900 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2901 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2902 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2903 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2904 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2905 [Steve Henson]
2906
2907 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2908 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2909 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2910 declaration has been changed from
2911 int (*cb)()
2912 into
2913 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2914 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2915 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2916 has been changed into
2917 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2918
2919 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2920 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2921 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2922
2923 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2924 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2925
2926 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2927 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2928 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2929 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2930 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2931 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2932 always load it have also been added.
2933 [Steve Henson]
2934
2935 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2936 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2937 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2938
2939 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2940
2941 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2942 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2943 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2944
2945 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2946 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2947 command line option can be used to specify an
2948 alternative file.
2949 [Steve Henson]
2950
2951 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2952 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2953 [Steve Henson]
2954
2955 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2956 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2957 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2958 [Steve Henson]
2959
2960 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2961 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2962 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2963 to work with the new engine framework.
2964 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2965
2966 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2967 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2968 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2969 to work with the new engine framework.
2970 [Richard Levitte]
2971
2972 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2973 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2974 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2975
2976 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2977 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2978
2979 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2980 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2981 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2982 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2983 FORMAT_IISSGC.
2984 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2985
2986 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2987 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2988
2989 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2990 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2991
2992 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2993 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2994 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2995 [Ben Laurie]
2996
2997 *) Add new functions
2998 ERR_peek_last_error
2999 ERR_peek_last_error_line
3000 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
3001 These are similar to
3002 ERR_peek_error
3003 ERR_peek_error_line
3004 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
3005 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
3006 still in the error queue.
3007 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
3008
3009 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
3010 like:
3011 default_algorithms = ALL
3012 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
3013 [Steve Henson]
3014
3015 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
3016 [Steve Henson]
3017
3018 *) New experimental application configuration code.
3019 [Steve Henson]
3020
3021 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
3022 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
3023 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
3024 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3025
3026 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
3027 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
3028
3029 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
3030 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3031
3032 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
3033 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
3034 [Bodo Moeller]
3035
3036 *) New functions/macros
3037
3038 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
3039 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3040 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
3041 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
3042
3043 to request calling a callback function
3044
3045 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
3046 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
3047
3048 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
3049 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
3050 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
3051 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
3052 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
3053 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
3054 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
3055 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
3056 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
3057 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
3058
3059 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
3060 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
3061 [Bodo Moeller]
3062
3063 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
3064 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
3065 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
3066 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
3067 the configuration scripts.
3068
3069 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
3070 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
3071 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
3072
3073 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
3074 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3075
3076 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
3077 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
3078 when reusing an existing buffer.
3079 [Bodo Moeller]
3080
3081 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
3082 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
3083 [Steve Henson]
3084
3085 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
3086 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
3087 [Ben Laurie]
3088
3089 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
3090 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
3091 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
3092 has the same effect.
3093 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3094
3095 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
3096 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
3097 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
3098 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
3099 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
3100 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
3101 exception.
3102
3103 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
3104 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
3105 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
3106 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
3107
3108 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
3109 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
3110 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
3111 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
3112
3113 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
3114 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
3115 won't work.
3116
3117 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
3118 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
3119 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
3120 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
3121 default), and then completely removed.
3122 [Richard Levitte]
3123
3124 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
3125 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
3126 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
3127 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
3128 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
3129 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
3130 particular extension is supported.
3131 [Steve Henson]
3132
3133 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
3134 to retain compatibility with existing code.
3135 [Steve Henson]
3136
3137 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
3138 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
3139 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
3140 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
3141 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
3142 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
3143 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
3144 requires the destination to be valid.
3145
3146 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
3147 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
3148 [Steve Henson]
3149
3150 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
3151 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
3152 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
3153 [Bodo Moeller]
3154
3155 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
3156 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
3157
3158 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
3159 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
3160 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
3161 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
3162 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
3163 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
3164 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
3165 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
3166 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
3167 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
3168 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
3169 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
3170 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
3171 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
3172 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
3173 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
3174 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
3175 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
3176 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
3177 the new code.
3178 [Geoff Thorpe]
3179
3180 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
3181 [Steve Henson]
3182
3183 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
3184 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
3185 become part of libeay.num as well.
3186 [Richard Levitte]
3187
3188 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
3189 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
3190 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
3191 false once a handshake has been completed.
3192 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
3193 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
3194 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
3195 client has followed the request.)
3196 [Bodo Moeller]
3197
3198 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
3199 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
3200 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
3201 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
3202
3203 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
3204 more bits available for options that should not be part of
3205 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
3206 [Bodo Moeller]
3207
3208 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
3209 [Steve Henson]
3210
3211 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
3212 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
3213 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
3214 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3215
3216 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3217 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3218 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3219
3220 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
3221 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
3222 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
3223 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3224 [Geoff Thorpe]
3225
3226 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3227 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3228 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3229 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3230 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3231 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3232 [Geoff Thorpe]
3233
3234 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3235 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3236 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3237 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3238 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3239 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3240 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3241 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3242 [Geoff Thorpe]
3243
3244 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3245 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3246 [Geoff Thorpe]
3247
3248 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3249 [Ben Laurie]
3250
3251 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3252 md_data void pointer.
3253 [Ben Laurie]
3254
3255 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
3256 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
3257 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
3258 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
3259 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
3260 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
3261 [Ben Laurie]
3262
3263 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
3264 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
3265 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
3266 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
3267 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
3268 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
3269 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
3270 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
3271 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
3272 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
3273 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
3274 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
3275 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
3276 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
3277 rather than letting it slide.
3278
3279 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
3280 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
3281 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
3282 [Geoff Thorpe]
3283
3284 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
3285 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
3286 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
3287 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
3288 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
3289 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
3290 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
3291 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
3292 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
3293 [Geoff Thorpe]
3294
3295 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
3296 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
3297 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
3298 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
3299 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
3300
3301 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
3302 [Geoff Thorpe]
3303
3304 *) Add EVP test program.
3305 [Ben Laurie]
3306
3307 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
3308 [Ben Laurie]
3309
3310 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
3311 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
3312 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
3313 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
3314 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3315 [Steve Henson]
3316
3317 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3318 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3319 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3320 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3321 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3322 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3323 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3324
3325 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3326 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3327 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3328 Usage example:
3329
3330 EVP_MD_CTX md;
3331
3332 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3333 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3334 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3335 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3336 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3337
3338 [Ben Laurie]
3339
3340 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3341 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3342 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3343 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3344 anyway): E.g.,
3345
3346 des_key_schedule ks;
3347
3348 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3349 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3350
3351 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3352 [Ben Laurie]
3353
3354 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3355 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3356 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3357 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3358 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3359 functions prevents this.
3360 [Steve Henson]
3361
3362 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3363 [Ben Laurie]
3364
3365 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3366 correct _ecb suffix.
3367 [Ben Laurie]
3368
3369 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3370 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3371 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3372 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3373 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3374 [Steve Henson]
3375
3376 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3377 [Richard Levitte]
3378
3379 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3380 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3381 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3382 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3383
3384 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3385 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3386
3387 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
3388 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3389 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
3390 via Richard Levitte]
3391
3392 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3393 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3394 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3395 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3396 [Geoff Thorpe]
3397
3398 *) Speed up EVP routines.

3414 [Ben Laurie]
3415
3416 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3417 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3418
3419 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3420 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3421 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3422 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3423 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3424 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3425 [Steve Henson]
3426
3427 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3428 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3429 [Richard Levitte]
3430
3431 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3432 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3433 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3434 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3435
3436 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3437 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3438 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3439 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3440 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3441 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3442 callback.
3443 [Richard Levitte]
3444
3445 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3446 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3447 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3448 and interrupts/cancellations.
3449 [Richard Levitte]
3450
3451 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3452 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3453 [Steve Henson]
3454
3455 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3456 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3457 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3458
3459 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3460 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3461 kind of callback.
3462 [Richard Levitte]
3463
3464 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3465 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3466 than this minimum value is recommended.
3467 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3468
3469 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3470 that are easily reachable.
3471 [Richard Levitte]
3472
3473 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3474 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3475
3476 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3477
3478 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3479 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3480 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3481 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3482 [Steve Henson]
3483
3484 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3485 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3486 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3487 [Steve Henson]
3488
3489 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3490 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3491 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3492 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3493 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3494 internally such as S/MIME.
3495
3496 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3497 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3498 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3499
3500 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3501 applications.
3502 [Steve Henson]
3503
3504 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3505 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3506 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3507 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3508
3509 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3510
3511 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3512
3513 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3514 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3515 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3516 handling.
3517 [Steve Henson]
3518
3519 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3520 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3521 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3522 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3523 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3524 a window system and the like.
3525 [Richard Levitte]
3526
3527 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3528 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3529 [Geoff]
3530
3531 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3532 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3533 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3534 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3535 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3536 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3537 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3538 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3539 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3540 ENGINE structure.
3541 [Geoff]
3542
3543 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3544 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3545 tag cache.
3546 [Steve Henson]
3547
3548 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3549 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3550 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3551 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3552 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3553 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3554 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3555 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3556 [Geoff]
3557
3558 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3559 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3560 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3561 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3562 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3563 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3564 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3565 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3566 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3567 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3568 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3569 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3570 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3571 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3572 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3573 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3574 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3575 [Geoff]
3576
3577 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3578 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3579 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3580 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3581 internal engine_int.h header.
3582 [Geoff]
3583
3584 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3585 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3586 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3587 modify their own ones).
3588 [Geoff]
3589
3590 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3591 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3592 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3593 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3594 later on via ctrl() commands.
3595 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3596 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3597 structural references.
3598 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3599 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3600 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3601 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3602 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3603 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3604 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3605 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3606 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3607 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3608 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3609 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3610 [Geoff]
3611
3612 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3613 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3614 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3615 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3616 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3617 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3618 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3619 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3620 [Bodo Moeller]
3621
3622 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3623 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3624 [Steve Henson]
3625
3626 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3627 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3628 [Steve Henson]
3629
3630 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3631 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3632 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3633 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3634 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3635 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3636 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3637 [Steve Henson]
3638
3639 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3640 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3641 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3642 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3643 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3644
3645 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3646 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3647 generator).
3648 [Bodo Moeller]
3649
3650 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3651
3652 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3653 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3654 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3655
3656 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3657 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3658
3659 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3660 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3661 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3662
3663 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3664 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3665
3666 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3667 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3668
3669 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3670
3671 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3672 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3673 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3674 [Bodo Moeller]
3675
3676 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3677 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3678 [Richard Levitte]
3679
3680 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3681 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3682 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3683 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3684 is 40 of more characters long.
3685 [Steve Henson]
3686
3687 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3688 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3689 pointers.
3690 [Steve Henson]
3691
3692 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3693 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3694 [Bodo Moeller]
3695
3696 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3697 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3698 might.
3699 [Steve Henson]
3700
3701 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3702
3703 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3704 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3705
3706 ASN1 error codes
3707 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3708 ...
3709 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3710 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3711 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3712 ...
3713 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3714 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3715
3716 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3717 [Bodo Moeller]
3718
3719 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3720 suffices.
3721 [Bodo Moeller]
3722
3723 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3724 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3725 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3726 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3727 and
3728 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3729
3730 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3731 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3732
3733 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3734 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3735 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3736 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3737 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3738 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3739
3740 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3741 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3742
3743 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3744 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3745
3746 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3747 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3748
3749 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3750 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3751 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3752 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3753
3754 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3755 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3756
3757 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3758 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3759
3760 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3761 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3762 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3763 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3764 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3765 [Richard Levitte]
3766
3767 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3768 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3769 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3770 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3771 [Steve Henson]
3772
3773 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3774 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3775 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3776 trust settings.
3777 [Steve Henson]
3778
3779 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3780 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3781 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3782 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3783 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3784 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3785 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3786 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3787 ocsp utility.
3788 [Steve Henson]
3789
3790 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3791 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3792 [Steve Henson]
3793
3794 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3795 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3796 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3797 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3798 [Steve Henson]
3799
3800 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3801 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3802 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3803 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3804 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3805 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3806 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3807 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3808 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3809 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3810 [Steve Henson]
3811
3812 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3813 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3814 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3815 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3816 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3817 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3818 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3819 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3820
3821 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3822 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3823 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3824 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3825 [Richard Levitte]
3826
3827 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3828 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3829 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3830 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3831 opensslconf.h.
3832 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3833 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3834 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3835 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3836 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3837 what is available.
3838 [Richard Levitte]
3839
3840 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3841 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3842 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3843 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3844 auto incremented.
3845 [Steve Henson]
3846
3847 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3848 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3849 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3850 [Steve Henson]
3851
3852 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3853 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3854 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3855 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3856 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3857 [Steve Henson]
3858
3859 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3860 [Steve Henson]
3861
3862 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3863 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3864 option to ocsp utility.
3865 [Steve Henson]
3866
3867 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3868 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3869 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3870 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3871 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3872 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3873 the request is nonce-less.
3874 [Steve Henson]
3875
3876 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3877 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3878 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3879 [Bodo Moeller]
3880
3881 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3882 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3883 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3884 [Steve Henson]
3885
3886 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3887 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3888 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3889 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3890 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3891 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3892
3893 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3894 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3895 appear to exist.
3896 [Steve Henson]
3897
3898 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3899 additional certificates supplied.
3900 [Steve Henson]
3901
3902 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3903 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3904 signature against.
3905 [Richard Levitte]
3906
3907 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3908 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3909 AES OIDs.
3910
3911 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3912 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3913 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3914 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3915 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3916 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3917 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3918 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3919 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3920
3921 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3922 request to response.
3923 [Steve Henson]
3924
3925 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3926 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3927 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3928 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3929 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3930 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3931 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3932 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3933 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3934 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3935 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3936 [Steve Henson]
3937
3938 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3939 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3940 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3941 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3942 [Steve Henson]
3943
3944 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3945 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3946
3947 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3948 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3949 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3950 [Steve Henson]
3951
3952 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3953 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3954 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3955 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3956 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3957
3958 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3959 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3960 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3961 [Steve Henson]
3962
3963 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3964 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3965 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3966 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3967 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3968 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3969 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3970 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3971
3972 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3973 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3974 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3975 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3976 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3977 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3978 [Steve Henson]
3979
3980 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3981 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3982 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3983 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3984 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3985 printout format cleaned up.
3986 [Steve Henson]
3987
3988 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3989 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3990 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3991 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3992 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3993 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3994 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3995 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3996 [Steve Henson]
3997
3998 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3999 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
4000 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
4001 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
4002 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
4003 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
4004 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
4005 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
4006 [Steve Henson]
4007
4008 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
4009 extensions from a separate configuration file.
4010 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
4011 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
4012 section to use.
4013 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4014
4015 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
4016 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
4017 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
4018 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
4019 [Steve Henson]
4020
4021 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
4022 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
4023 the given serial number (according to the index file).
4024 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
4025 in the index file.
4026 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4027
4028 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
4029 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
4030 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
4031 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4032
4033 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
4034 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
4035
4036 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
4037 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
4038 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
4039 [Steve Henson]
4040
4041 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
4042 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
4043 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
4044 [Bodo Moeller]
4045
4046 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
4047 file name and line number information in additional arguments
4048 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
4049 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
4050 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
4051 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
4052 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
4053 functions are provided:
4054
4055 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
4056 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
4057 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
4058 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
4059
4060 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
4061 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
4062 extended allocation function is enabled.
4063 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
4064 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
4065 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
4066
4067 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
4068 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
4069 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
4070 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
4071 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
4072 [Geoff Thorpe]
4073
4074 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
4075 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
4076 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
4077 be queried.
4078 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
4079 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
4080 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
4081 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4082
4083 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
4084 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
4085 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
4086 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
4087 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
4088 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
4089 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
4090 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
4091 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
4092 [Richard Levitte]
4093
4094 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
4095 provide utility functions which an application needing
4096 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
4097 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
4098 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
4099
4100 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
4101 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
4102 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
4103 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
4104 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
4105 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
4106 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
4107 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
4108 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
4109
4110 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
4111 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
4112 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
4113 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
4114 [Steve Henson]
4115
4116 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
4117 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
4118 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
4119 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
4120 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
4121 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
4122 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
4123 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
4124 will be added elsewhere.
4125 [Steve Henson]
4126
4127 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
4128 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
4129 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
4130 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
4131 [Steve Henson]
4132
4133 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
4134 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
4135 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
4136 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
4137 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
4138 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
4139 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
4140 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
4141 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
4142 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
4143 to produce the required SET OF.
4144 [Steve Henson]
4145
4146 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
4147 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
4148 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
4149 [Richard Levitte]
4150
4151 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
4152 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
4153 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
4154 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
4155 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
4156 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
4157 [Steve Henson]
4158
4159 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
4160 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
4161 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
4162 [Steve Henson]
4163
4164 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
4165 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
4166 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
4167 [Richard Levitte]
4168
4169 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
4170 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
4171 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
4172 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
4173 code will still work when these eventually go away.
4174 [Steve Henson]
4175
4176 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
4177 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
4178 [Steve Henson]
4179
4180 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
4181 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
4182 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
4183 certifcates and CRLs.
4184 [Steve Henson]
4185
4186 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
4187 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
4188 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
4189 [Steve Henson]
4190
4191 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
4192 entries for variables.
4193 [Steve Henson]
4194
4195 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
4196 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
4197 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
4198 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
4199 [Bodo Moeller]
4200
4201 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
4202 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
4203 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
4204 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
4205 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
4206 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
4207 [Bodo Moeller]
4208
4209 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
4210 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
4211
4212 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
4213 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
4214 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
4215 [Steve Henson]
4216
4217 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
4218 print routines.
4219 [Steve Henson]
4220
4221 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
4222 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
4223 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
4224 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
4225 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
4226 order did not reflect the encoded order.
4227 [Steve Henson]
4228
4229 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
4230 [Steve Henson]
4231
4232 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
4233 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
4234 for now but they will eventually go away.
4235 [Steve Henson]
4236
4237 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
4238 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
4239 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
4240 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
4241 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
4242 has also been converted to the new form.
4243 [Steve Henson]
4244
4245 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
4246 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
4247 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
4248 for negative moduli.
4249 [Bodo Moeller]
4250
4251 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
4252 of not touching the result's sign bit.
4253 [Bodo Moeller]
4254
4255 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
4256 set.
4257 [Bodo Moeller]
4258
4259 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
4260 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
4261 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
4262 type-specific callbacks.
4263 [Geoff Thorpe]
4264
4265 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
4266 RFC 2712.
4267 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4268 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
4269
4270 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
4271 in sections depending on the subject.
4272 [Richard Levitte]
4273
4274 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
4275 Windows.
4276 [Richard Levitte]
4277
4278 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
4279 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
4280 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
4281 be handled deterministically).
4282 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4283
4284 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
4285 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
4286 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
4287 [Bodo Moeller]
4288
4289 *) New function BN_kronecker.
4290 [Bodo Moeller]
4291
4292 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
4293 positive unless both parameters are zero.
4294 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
4295 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
4296 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
4297 [Bodo Moeller]
4298
4299 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
4300 sign of the number in question.
4301
4302 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
4303
4304 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
4305 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
4306 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
4307 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
4308 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
4309 [Bodo Moeller]
4310
4311 *) New function BN_swap.
4312 [Bodo Moeller]
4313
4314 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
4315 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
4316 results on negative inputs.
4317 [Bodo Moeller]
4318
4319 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
4320 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
4321 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
4322 [Bodo Moeller]
4323
4324 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
4325 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
4326 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
4327 and add new functions:
4328
4329 BN_nnmod
4330 BN_mod_sqr
4331 BN_mod_add
4332 BN_mod_add_quick
4333 BN_mod_sub
4334 BN_mod_sub_quick
4335 BN_mod_lshift1
4336 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
4337 BN_mod_lshift
4338 BN_mod_lshift_quick
4339
4340 These functions always generate non-negative results.
4341
4342 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
4343 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
4344
4345 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
4346 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
4347 be reduced modulo m.

4351 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
4352 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
4353 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
4354
4355 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4356 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4357 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4358 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4359 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4360 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4361 differing sizes.
4362 [Richard Levitte]
4363 #endif
4364
4365 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
4366 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
4367 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
4368 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
4369 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
4370
4371 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
4372 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
4373 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
4374 cause any problems.
4375 [Bodo Moeller]
4376
4377 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
4378 [Richard Levitte]
4379
4380 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
4381 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
4382 [Richard Levitte]
4383
4384 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
4385 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
4386 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
4387 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
4388 time)
4389 [Richard Levitte]
4390
4391 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
4392 [Richard Levitte]
4393
4394 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
4395 [Richard Levitte]
4396
4397 *) Add the following functions:
4398
4399 ENGINE_load_cswift()
4400 ENGINE_load_chil()
4401 ENGINE_load_atalla()
4402 ENGINE_load_nuron()
4403 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
4404
4405 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
4406 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
4407 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
4408 libraries unless it's really needed.
4409
4410 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
4411 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
4412 declarations (they differed!).
4413 [Richard Levitte]
4414
4415 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
4416 [Richard Levitte]
4417
4418 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
4419 [Richard Levitte]
4420
4421 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
4422 [Bodo Moeller]
4423
4424 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
4425 identity, and test if they are actually available.
4426 [Richard Levitte]
4427
4428 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
4429 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
4430 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4431
4432 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
4433 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
4434 [Richard Levitte]
4435
4436 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
4437 [Richard Levitte]
4438
4439 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
4440 [Richard Levitte]
4441
4442 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
4443 [Ben Laurie]
4444
4445 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
4446 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
4447 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
4448
4449 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
4450 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
4451 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
4452 different shared library filenames on each system.
4453 [Geoff Thorpe]
4454
4455 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
4456 [Richard Levitte]
4457
4458 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
4459 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
4460 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
4461 of two sections.
4462 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
4463
4464 *) NCONF changes.
4465 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
4466 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
4467 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
4468 binary backward compatibility.
4469 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
4470 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
4471 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
4472 LDAP server.
4473 [Richard Levitte]
4474
4475 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
4476 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
4477 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
4478 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
4479 this case.
4480 [Steve Henson]
4481
4482 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
4483 [Ben Laurie]
4484
4485 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
4486 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
4487 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
4488 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
4489 set.
4490 [Steve Henson]
4491
4492 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
4493 [Richard Levitte]
4494
4495 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
4496
4497 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4498 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4499 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4500
4501 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
4502
4503 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
4504
4505 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
4506 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
4507 [Steve Henson]
4508
4509 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
4510
4511 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4512
4513 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4514 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4515
4516 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4517 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4518
4519 [Steve Henson]
4520
4521 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4522 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4523 specifications.
4524 [Steve Henson]
4525
4526 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4527 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4528 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4529 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4530
4531 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4532 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4533 [Richard Levitte]
4534
4535 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
4536
4537 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4538 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4539 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4540 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4541 [Bodo Moeller]
4542
4543 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4544 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4545 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4546 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4547 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4548
4549 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4550 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4551 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4552 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4553 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4554 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4555 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4556 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4557 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4558 [Bodo Moeller]
4559
4560 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
4561
4562 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4563 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4564 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4565 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4566 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4567
4568 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4569 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4570 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4571
4572 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
4573
4574 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
4575 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
4576 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
4577 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
4578 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
4579 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
4580 [Geoff Thorpe]
4581
4582 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
4583 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
4584 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
4585 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
4586 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
4587 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4588
4589 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
4590 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
4591 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
4592
4593 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
4594 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
4595 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
4596 EVP_cleanup().
4597 [Richard Levitte]
4598
4599 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
4600 being properly terminated.
4601 [Richard Levitte]
4602
4603 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
4604 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
4605 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
4606 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
4607
4608 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
4609 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
4610 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
4611 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
4612 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
4613 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
4614 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
4615 change.
4616 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
4617
4618 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
4619 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
4620 [Bodo Moeller]
4621
4622 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
4623 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
4624 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
4625 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
4626 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
4627 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
4628 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
4629 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
4630
4631 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
4632 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
4633 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
4634 (see [openssl.org #212]).
4635 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4636
4637 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
4638 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
4639 [Steve Henson]
4640
4641 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
4642
4643 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
4644 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
4645 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
4646
4647 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
4648
4649 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
4650 and get fix the header length calculation.
4651 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
4652 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
4653 Steve Henson]
4654
4655 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
4656 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
4657 assertions could call abort()).
4658 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
4659
4660 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
4661
4662 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4663 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4664 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4665 supplied buffer.
4666 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4667
4668 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
4669 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
4670 by the selection routines (PR #130).
4671 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4672
4673 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
4674 [Nils Larsch]
4675
4676 *) New option
4677 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
4678 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
4679 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
4680
4681 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
4682 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
4683 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
4684 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
4685 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
4686 applications.
4687 [Bodo Moeller]
4688
4689 *) Changes in security patch:
4690
4691 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
4692 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
4693 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
4694 F30602-01-2-0537.
4695
4696 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4697 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4698 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4699 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
4700 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4701
4702 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
4703 happen in practice.
4704 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4705
4706 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
4707 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
4708 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
4709
4710 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4711 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
4712 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4713
4714 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
4715 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
4716 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4717
4718 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
4719
4720 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
4721 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
4722 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
4723
4724 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
4725 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4726
4727 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
4728 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
4729 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
4730 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
4731 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
4732 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
4733 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4734
4735 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
4736 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
4737 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
4738 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
4739 [Bodo Moeller]
4740
4741 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
4742 [Bodo Moeller]
4743
4744 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
4745 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
4746 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
4747 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
4748 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
4749 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4750
4751 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
4752 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
4753 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
4754 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
4755 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
4756 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4757
4758 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
4759 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
4760 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
4761 BN_generate_prime().)
4762
4763 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
4764 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
4765 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
4766 better.
4767 [Bodo Moeller]
4768
4769 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
4770 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
4771 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4772
4773 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
4774 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
4775 when using non-blocking I/O.
4776 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
4777
4778 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
4779 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
4780
4781 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
4782 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
4783 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4784
4785 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
4786 configuration for the versions before that.
4787 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4788
4789 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
4790 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
4791 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
4792 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
4793 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4794
4795 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
4796 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
4797 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
4798 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4799
4800 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
4801 value is 0.
4802 [Richard Levitte]
4803
4804 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
4805 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4806 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4807
4808 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
4809 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
4810
4811 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
4812 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
4813 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
4814 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
4815 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
4816 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
4817 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
4818 session cache.
4819
4820 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
4821 using a local variable.
4822 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4823
4824 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
4825 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
4826 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4827
4828 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
4829 [Richard Levitte]
4830
4831 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
4832 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
4833
4834 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
4835 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
4836 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
4837
4838 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
4839
4840 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
4841 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
4842 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
4843 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
4844 [Bodo Moeller]
4845
4846 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
4847 present.
4848 [Steve Henson]
4849
4850 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
4851 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
4852 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
4853 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
4854 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
4855
4856 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
4857 returns early because it has nothing to do.
4858 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4859
4860 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4861 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
4862 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4863
4864 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4865 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
4866 (Use engine 'keyclient')
4867 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
4868
4869 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
4870 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
4871 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
4872 modules).
4873 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
4874
4875 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4876 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
4877 from 0.9.7.
4878 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
4879
4880 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4881 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
4882 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4883 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
4884
4885 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4886 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
4887 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4888 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
4889
4890 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
4891 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
4892
4893 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
4894 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
4895 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
4896 [Bodo Moeller]
4897
4898 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
4899 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
4900 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
4901 become invalid.
4902 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
4903
4904 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
4905 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
4906 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
4907 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
4908 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
4909 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
4910 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
4911 [Bodo Moeller]
4912
4913 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
4914 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
4915 one of the SSL handshake functions.
4916 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
4917
4918 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
4919 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
4920 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
4921 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
4922 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
4923 the client will at least see that alert.
4924 [Bodo Moeller]
4925
4926 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
4927 correctly.
4928 [Bodo Moeller]
4929
4930 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
4931 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
4932 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4933
4934 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
4935 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
4936 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
4937 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
4938 HelloRequest.
4939
4940 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
4941 before just sending a HelloRequest.
4942 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
4943
4944 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
4945 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
4946 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
4947 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
4948 may leak via logfiles.)
4949
4950 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
4951 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
4952 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
4953 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
4954 the legal range.
4955 [Bodo Moeller]
4956
4957 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
4958 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4959 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4960
4961 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
4962 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
4963 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
4964 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
4965 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
4966 [Bodo Moeller]
4967
4968 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
4969 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
4970
4971 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
4972 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
4973 followed by modular reduction.
4974 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
4975
4976 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
4977 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
4978 [Bodo Moeller]
4979
4980 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
4981 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
4982 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
4983 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
4984 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4985
4986 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
4987 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4988
4989 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
4990 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
4991 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4992
4993 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
4994 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
4995 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
4996 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
4997 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
4998 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
4999 automatically.
5000 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
5001
5002 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
5003 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
5004 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
5005 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
5006 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
5007
5008 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
5009 [Andy Polyakov]
5010
5011 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
5012 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
5013 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
5014 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
5015 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
5016 to allow the necessary settings.
5017 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5018
5019 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
5020 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
5021 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
5022 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
5023 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5024
5025 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
5026 dh->length and always used
5027
5028 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
5029
5030 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
5031 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
5032 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
5033 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
5034 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
5035 dh->length.
5036
5037 So switch back to
5038
5039 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
5040
5041 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
5042 otherwise.
5043 [Bodo Moeller]
5044
5045 *) In
5046
5047 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
5048 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
5049 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
5050 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
5051
5052 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
5053 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
5054 always reject numbers >= n.
5055 [Bodo Moeller]
5056
5057 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
5058 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
5059 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
5060 variable) is not atomic.
5061 [Bodo Moeller]
5062
5063 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
5064 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
5065 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
5066 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
5067
5068 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
5069 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
5070
5071 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
5072 little-endian MIPS.
5073 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
5074
5075 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
5076 [Richard Levitte]
5077
5078 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
5079
5080 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
5081 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
5082 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
5083 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
5084 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
5085 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
5086 to traverse all of 'state'.
5087
5088 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
5089 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
5090 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
5091
5092 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
5093 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
5094
5095 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
5096 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
5097 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
5098 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
5099 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
5100 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
5101 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
5102 further strengthens the PRNG.
5103 [Bodo Moeller]
5104
5105 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
5106 [Andy Polyakov]
5107
5108 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
5109 an error message in this case.
5110 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5111
5112 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
5113 [Steve Henson]
5114
5115 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
5116 positive and less than q.
5117 [Bodo Moeller]
5118
5119 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
5120 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
5121 that itself.
5122 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
5123
5124 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
5125 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
5126 [Bodo Moeller]
5127
5128 *) Fix OAEP check.
5129 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5130
5131 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
5132 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
5133 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
5134 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
5135 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
5136 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
5137 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
5138 paper.)
5139
5140 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
5141 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
5142 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
5143 detect the supposedly ignored error.
5144
5145 Both problems are now fixed.
5146 [Bodo Moeller]
5147
5148 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
5149 (previously it was 1024).
5150 [Bodo Moeller]
5151
5152 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
5153 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
5154 [Steve Henson]
5155
5156 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
5157 [Steve Henson]
5158
5159 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
5160 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
5161 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
5162 [Steve Henson]
5163
5164 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
5165 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
5166 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
5167 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
5168 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
5169 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
5170 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
5171 environment variables.
5172
5173 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
5174 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
5175 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
5176 [Bodo Moeller]
5177
5178 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
5179 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
5180 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
5181 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
5182 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
5183 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
5184 [Bodo Moeller]
5185
5186 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
5187 versions of 'test'.
5188 [Bodo Moeller]
5189
5190 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
5191
5192 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
5193 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
5194
5195 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
5196 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
5197 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
5198 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
5199 CygWin.
5200 [Richard Levitte]
5201
5202 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
5203 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
5204 amount of data available.
5205 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
5206 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5207
5208 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
5209 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
5210 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
5211 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
5212 [Bodo Moeller]
5213
5214 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
5215 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
5216 and UnixWare.
5217 [Richard Levitte]
5218
5219 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
5220 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
5221 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
5222 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
5223 [Ulf Moeller]
5224
5225 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
5226 [Andy Polyakov]
5227
5228 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
5229 [Richard Levitte]
5230
5231 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
5232 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
5233 [Steve Henson]
5234 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5235
5236 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
5237 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
5238 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
5239 (but broken) behaviour.
5240 [Steve Henson]
5241
5242 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
5243 it when found.
5244 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
5245
5246 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
5247 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
5248 [Bodo Moeller]
5249
5250 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
5251 did not exist.
5252 [Bodo Moeller]
5253
5254 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
5255 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
5256
5257 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
5258 [Richard Levitte]
5259
5260 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
5261 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
5262 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
5263
5264 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
5265 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
5266 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
5267 [Steve Henson]
5268
5269 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
5270 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
5271 [Ulf Moeller]
5272
5273 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
5274 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
5275
5276 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
5277
5278 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
5279
5280 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
5281 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
5282 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
5283 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
5284 [Bodo Moeller]
5285
5286 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
5287 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5288
5289 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
5290 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
5291 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5292
5293 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
5294 was empty.
5295 [Steve Henson]
5296 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5297
5298 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
5299 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
5300 but the code is actually correct.
5301 [Steve Henson]
5302
5303 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
5304 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
5305 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
5306 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
5307 and leaves the highest bit random.
5308 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
5309
5310 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
5311 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
5312 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
5313 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
5314 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
5315 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
5316 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
5317 [Bodo Moeller]
5318
5319 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
5320 [Ulf Moeller]
5321
5322 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
5323 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
5324 [Steve Henson]
5325
5326 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
5327 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
5328 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
5329 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
5330 headers.
5331 [Richard Levitte]
5332
5333 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
5334 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
5335 and break the signature.
5336 [Steve Henson]
5337 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5338
5339 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
5340 DH ciphersuites.
5341 [Steve Henson]
5342
5343 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
5344 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
5345 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
5346 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
5347 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
5348 [Bodo Moeller]
5349
5350 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
5351 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5352
5353 *) ./config script fixes.
5354 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
5355
5356 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
5357 [Bodo Moeller]
5358
5359 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
5360 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
5361 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
5362 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
5363 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
5364
5365 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
5366 call failed, free the DSA structure.
5367 [Bodo Moeller]
5368
5369 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
5370 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
5371 [Steve Henson]
5372
5373 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
5374 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
5375 when writing a 32767 byte record.
5376 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
5377
5378 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
5379 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
5380
5381 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
5382 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
5383 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
5384 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
5385 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
5386
5387 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
5388 [Bodo Moeller]
5389
5390 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
5391 [Ulf Möller]
5392
5393 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
5394 [Ulf Möller]
5395
5396 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
5397 [Bodo Moeller]
5398
5399 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
5400 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
5401 [Bodo Moeller]
5402
5403 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
5404 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
5405 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
5406 result of the server certificate verification.)
5407 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5408
5409 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
5410 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
5411 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
5412 [Bodo Moeller]
5413
5414 *) Fix SSL_peek:
5415 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
5416 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
5417 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
5418 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
5419 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
5420 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
5421 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
5422 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
5423 [Bodo Moeller]
5424
5425 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
5426 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
5427 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
5428 happening the other way round.
5429 [Geoff Thorpe]
5430
5431 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
5432 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
5433 [Bodo Moeller]
5434
5435 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
5436 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
5437 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
5438 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
5439 [Richard Levitte]
5440
5441 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
5442 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
5443
5444 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
5445
5446 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
5447 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
5448 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
5449 that.
5450
5451 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
5452
5453 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
5454
5455 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
5456 static ones.
5457 [Richard Levitte]
5458
5459 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
5460
5461 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
5462 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
5463 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
5464 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
5465 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
5466
5467 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
5468 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
5469 matter what.
5470 [Richard Levitte]
5471
5472 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
5473 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5474
5475 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
5476
5477 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
5478 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
5479 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
5480 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
5481 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
5482 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
5483 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
5484 by the Finished messages.
5485 [Bodo Moeller]
5486
5487 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
5488 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
5489
5490 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
5491 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
5492 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
5493 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
5494 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
5495 appropriately.
5496 [Steve Henson]
5497
5498 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
5499 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
5500 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
5501 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
5502 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
5503 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
5504 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
5505 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
5506 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
5507 together.
5508 [Steve Henson]
5509
5510 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
5511 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
5512 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
5513 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
5514
5515 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
5516 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
5517 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
5518 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
5519 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
5520 the answer.
5521
5522 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
5523 been tested well enough.
5524 [Richard Levitte]
5525
5526 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
5527 it can return incorrect results.
5528 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
5529 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
5530 [Bodo Moeller]
5531
5532 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
5533 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
5534 include zero length content when signing messages.
5535 [Steve Henson]
5536
5537 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
5538 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
5539 [Bodo Möller]
5540
5541 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
5542 [Richard Levitte]
5543
5544 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
5545 wrong sign.
5546 [Ulf Möller]
5547
5548 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
5549 packages. The default package contains applications, application
5550 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
5551 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
5552 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
5553 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
5554 [Richard Levitte]
5555
5556 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
5557 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5558
5559 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
5560 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
5561
5562 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
5563 random number < q in the DSA library.
5564 [Ulf Möller]
5565
5566 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
5567 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
5568 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
5569 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
5570 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
5571 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
5572 just makes things more complicated.)
5573 [Bodo Moeller]
5574
5575 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
5576 from EGD.
5577 [Ben Laurie]
5578
5579 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
5580 work better on such systems.
5581 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5582
5583 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
5584 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
5585 keyid to the certificates aux info.
5586 [Steve Henson]
5587
5588 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
5589 if there was more than one signature.
5590 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
5591
5592 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
5593 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
5594 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
5595 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
5596 [Richard Levitte]
5597
5598 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
5599 rather than always using the current time.
5600 [Steve Henson]
5601
5602 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
5603 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
5604 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
5605 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
5606 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
5607 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
5608
5609 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
5610 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
5611
5612 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
5613
5614 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
5615 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
5616 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
5617 the same hash value.
5618
5619 As a result various functions (which were all internal
5620 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
5621 structure. This will break anything that messed round
5622 with X509_STORE internally.
5623
5624 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
5625 exact match, rather than just subject name.
5626
5627 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
5628 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
5629 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
5630 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
5631 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
5632 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
5633 entirely (maybe later...).
5634
5635 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
5636
5637 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
5638 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
5639 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
5640 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
5641 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
5642 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
5643 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
5644 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
5645
5646 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
5647 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5648
5649 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
5650 to customise the verify behaviour.
5651 [Steve Henson]
5652
5653 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
5654 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
5655 [Steve Henson]
5656
5657 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
5658 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
5659 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
5660 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
5661 request is improperly encoded.
5662 [Steve Henson]
5663
5664 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
5665 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
5666 BIO_write(b, ...).
5667
5668 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
5669 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
5670
5671 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
5672 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
5673 words set to zero.)
5674 [Bodo Moeller]
5675
5676 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
5677 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
5678 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
5679 [Bodo Moeller]
5680
5681 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
5682 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
5683 BIO/fp routines also added.
5684 [Steve Henson]
5685
5686 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
5687 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
5688
5689 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
5690 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
5691 demos/state_machine.
5692 [Ben Laurie]
5693
5694 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
5695 generation and verification.
5696 [Steve Henson]
5697
5698 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
5699 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
5700 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
5701 encode and decode it manually.
5702 [Steve Henson]
5703
5704 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
5705 compile under VC++.
5706 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
5707
5708 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
5709 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
5710 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
5711 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
5712
5713 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
5714 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
5715 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
5716 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
5717 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
5718 [Steve Henson]
5719
5720 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
5721 [Richard Levitte]
5722
5723 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
5724 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
5725 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
5726
5727 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
5728 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
5729 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
5730 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
5731 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
5732 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
5733 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
5734 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
5735
5736 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
5737 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
5738
5739 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
5740
5741 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
5742 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
5743 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
5744
5745 [Richard Levitte]
5746
5747 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
5748 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
5749 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
5750 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
5751 [Richard Levitte]
5752
5753 *) MD4 implemented.
5754 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
5755
5756 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
5757 [Richard Levitte]
5758
5759 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
5760 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
5761 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
5762 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
5763 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
5764 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
5765 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
5766 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
5767 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
5768 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
5769 short or long names are found.
5770 [Steve Henson]
5771
5772 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
5773 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
5774
5775 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
5776 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
5777 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
5778 version rollback attacks was not effective.
5779
5780 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
5781 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
5782 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
5783 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
5784 [Bodo Moeller]
5785
5786 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
5787 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
5788 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
5789 [Richard Levitte]
5790
5791 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
5792 these print out strings and name structures based on various
5793 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
5794 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
5795 to allow the various flags to be set.
5796 [Steve Henson]
5797
5798 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
5799 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
5800 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
5801 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
5802 dates to be checked.
5803 [Steve Henson]
5804
5805 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
5806 negative public key encodings) on by default,
5807 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
5808 [Steve Henson]
5809
5810 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
5811 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
5812 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
5813 [Steve Henson]
5814
5815 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
5816 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
5817 [Bodo Moeller]
5818
5819 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
5820 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
5821 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
5822 are always statically linked for now, but there are
5823 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
5824 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
5825 [Richard Levitte]
5826
5827 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
5828 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
5829 Random Numbers.
5830 [Ulf Möller]
5831
5832 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
5833 DSA key.
5834 [Steve Henson]
5835
5836 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
5837 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
5838 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
5839 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
5840 form signing output easier to verify.
5841 [Steve Henson]
5842
5843 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
5844 [Steve Henson]
5845
5846 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
5847 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
5848 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
5849 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
5850 are needed because all other string types have virtually
5851 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
5852 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
5853 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
5854 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
5855 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
5856 [Steve Henson]
5857
5858 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
5859
5860 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
5861 the syntax given in objects.README.
5862 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
5863 obj_mac.h.
5864 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
5865 obj_mac.h.
5866
5867 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
5868 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
5869 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
5870 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
5871 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
5872 consistent name changes.
5873 [Richard Levitte]
5874
5875 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
5876 [Bodo Moeller]
5877
5878 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
5879 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
5880 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
5881 environment variable, or the default random state file.
5882 [Richard Levitte]
5883
5884 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
5885 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
5886 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
5887 of safestack.h .
5888 [Steve Henson]
5889
5890 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
5891 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
5892 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
5893 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
5894 [Steve Henson]
5895
5896 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
5897 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
5898 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
5899 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
5900 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
5901 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
5902 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
5903 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
5904 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
5905 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
5906 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
5907 [Steve Henson]
5908
5909 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
5910 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
5911 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
5912 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
5913 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
5914 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
5915 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
5916 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
5917 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
5918 algorithm to openssl-dev.
5919 [Steve Henson]
5920
5921 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
5922 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
5923 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
5924 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
5925
5926 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
5927 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
5928 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
5929 omit any duplicate addresses.
5930 [Steve Henson]
5931
5932 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
5933 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
5934 [Bodo Moeller]
5935
5936 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
5937 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
5938 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
5939 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
5940 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
5941 [Bodo Moeller]
5942
5943 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
5944 software:
5945 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
5946 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
5947 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
5948 Free => OPENSSL_free
5949 [Richard Levitte]
5950
5951 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
5952 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
5953 [Bodo Moeller]
5954
5955 *) CygWin32 support.
5956 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
5957
5958 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
5959 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
5960 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
5961 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
5962 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
5963 approach.
5964 [Geoff Thorpe]
5965
5966 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
5967 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
5968 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
5969 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
5970 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
5971 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
5972 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
5973 [Geoff Thorpe]
5974
5975 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
5976 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
5977 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
5978 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
5979 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
5980 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
5981 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
5982 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
5983 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
5984 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
5985 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
5986 [Bodo Moeller]
5987
5988 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
5989 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
5990 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
5991 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
5992 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
5993
5994 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
5995 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
5996 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
5997 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
5998 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
5999
6000 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
6001 ciphers.
6002
6003 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
6004 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
6005 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
6006 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
6007
6008 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
6009
6010 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
6011 of macros.
6012
6013 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
6014 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
6015 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
6016 flags.
6017
6018 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
6019 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
6020 any installed hardware versions can.
6021 [Steve Henson]
6022
6023 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
6024 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
6025 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
6026 number.
6027 [Bodo Moeller]
6028
6029 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
6030 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
6031 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
6032 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
6033 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
6034
6035 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
6036 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
6037 [Steve Henson]
6038
6039 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
6040 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
6041 [Richard Levitte]
6042
6043 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
6044 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
6045 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
6046 features.
6047 [Steve Henson]
6048
6049 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
6050 [Ulf Möller]
6051
6052 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
6053 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
6054 but no ssl client purpose.
6055 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
6056
6057 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
6058 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
6059 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
6060 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
6061 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
6062 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
6063 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
6064 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
6065 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
6066 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
6067 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
6068 [Steve Henson]
6069
6070 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
6071 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
6072 be obtained from the error queue.
6073 [Bodo Moeller]
6074
6075 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
6076 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
6077 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
6078 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
6079 [Bodo Moeller]
6080
6081 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
6082 [Ulf Möller]
6083
6084 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
6085 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
6086 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
6087 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
6088 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
6089 [Geoff Thorpe]
6090
6091 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
6092 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
6093 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
6094 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
6095 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
6096 [Geoff Thorpe]
6097
6098 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
6099 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
6100 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
6101 may not be NULL.
6102 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
6103
6104 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
6105 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
6106 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
6107 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
6108 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
6109 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
6110 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
6111 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
6112 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
6113 or "the configuration storage API"...
6114
6115 The new configuration file reading functions are:
6116
6117 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
6118 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
6119
6120 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
6121
6122 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
6123
6124 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
6125 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
6126 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
6127 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
6128 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
6129 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
6130 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
6131
6132 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
6133 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
6134 [Richard Levitte]
6135
6136 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
6137 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
6138 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
6139 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
6140 [Bodo Moeller]
6141
6142 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
6143 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
6144 them in a portable way.
6145 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
6146
6147 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
6148
6149 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
6150
6151 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
6152 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
6153
6154 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
6155 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
6156 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
6157 <attili@amaxo.com>]
6158
6159 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
6160 was larger than the MD block size.
6161 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
6162
6163 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
6164 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
6165 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
6166 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
6167 components.
6168 [Steve Henson]
6169
6170 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
6171 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
6172 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
6173
6174 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
6175 discouraged.
6176 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
6177
6178 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
6179 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
6180 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
6181 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
6182 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
6183 Additional arguments are always ignored.
6184
6185 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
6186 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
6187
6188 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
6189 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
6190 [Bodo Moeller]
6191
6192 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
6193 [Bodo Moeller]
6194
6195 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
6196 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
6197 its own key.
6198 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
6199 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
6200 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
6201 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
6202 [Bodo Moeller]
6203
6204 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
6205 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
6206 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
6207 does not suppress any output.
6208 [Richard Levitte]
6209
6210 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
6211 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
6212 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
6213 with all the associated security issues.
6214
6215 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
6216 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
6217 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
6218 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
6219 use the value in the default purpose.
6220 [Steve Henson]
6221
6222 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
6223 and fix a memory leak.
6224 [Steve Henson]
6225
6226 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
6227 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
6228 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
6229 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
6230 [Bodo Moeller]
6231
6232 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
6233 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
6234 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
6235 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
6236 [Bodo Moeller]
6237
6238 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
6239 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
6240 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
6241 [Bodo Moeller]
6242
6243 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
6244 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
6245 [Bodo Moeller]
6246
6247 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
6248 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
6249 which was free.
6250 [Steve Henson]
6251
6252 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
6253 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
6254 [Bodo Moeller]
6255
6256 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
6257 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
6258 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
6259 [Bodo Moeller]
6260
6261 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
6262 number generation fails.
6263 [Bodo Moeller]
6264
6265 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
6266 [Bodo Moeller]
6267
6268 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
6269 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
6270
6271 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
6272 [Ulf Möller]
6273
6274 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
6275 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
6276
6277 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
6278 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
6279
6280 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
6281
6282 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
6283 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
6284 [Steve Henson]
6285
6286 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
6287 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
6288
6289 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
6290 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
6291 [Ulf Möller]
6292
6293 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
6294 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
6295 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
6296 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
6297 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
6298 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
6299
6300 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
6301 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
6302 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
6303 for example.
6304 [Steve Henson]
6305
6306 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
6307 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
6308 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
6309 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
6310 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
6311 counter, some don't.)
6312 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
6313 counters or duplicate objects.
6314 [Steve Henson]
6315
6316 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
6317 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
6318 [Steve Henson]
6319
6320 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
6321 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
6322 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
6323
6324 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
6325 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
6326 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
6327 or -rand.
6328 [Ulf Möller]
6329
6330 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
6331 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
6332 [Steve Henson]
6333
6334 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
6335 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
6336 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
6337 cipher list.
6338 [Steve Henson]
6339
6340 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
6341 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
6342 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
6343 [Steve Henson]
6344
6345 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
6346 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
6347 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
6348 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
6349 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
6350 should work without changes.
6351 [Richard Levitte]
6352
6353 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
6354 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
6355 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
6356 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
6357 must be defined. E.g.,
6358 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
6359 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
6360 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
6361 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
6362
6363 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
6364 record layer.
6365 [Bodo Moeller]
6366
6367 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
6368 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
6369 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
6370 [Steve Henson]
6371
6372 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
6373 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
6374 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
6375 request header lines. Some software needs this.
6376 [Steve Henson]
6377
6378 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
6379 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
6380 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
6381 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
6382 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
6383 is prompted for as usual.
6384 [Steve Henson]
6385
6386 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
6387 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
6388 autodetect the card and use it if present.
6389 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
6390
6391 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
6392 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
6393 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
6394 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
6395 [Steve Henson]
6396
6397 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
6398 [Andy Polyakov]
6399
6400 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
6401 of seed file.
6402 [Steve Henson]
6403
6404 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
6405 [Bodo Moeller]
6406
6407 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
6408 [Steve Henson]
6409
6410 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
6411 bits.
6412 [Ulf Möller]
6413
6414 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
6415 [Ulf Möller]
6416
6417 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
6418 [Andy Polyakov]
6419
6420 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
6421 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
6422 [Ulf Möller]
6423
6424 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
6425 options to produce them.
6426 [Steve Henson]
6427
6428 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
6429 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
6430 [Ulf Möller]
6431
6432 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
6433 for p == 0.
6434 [Ulf Möller]
6435
6436 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
6437 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
6438 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
6439 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
6440 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
6441 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
6442 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
6443 [Steve Henson]
6444
6445 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
6446 [Steve Henson]
6447
6448 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
6449 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
6450 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
6451 [Bodo Moeller]
6452
6453 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
6454 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
6455
6456 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
6457 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
6458 [Ulf Möller]
6459
6460 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
6461 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
6462 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
6463 has already seen).
6464 [Bodo Moeller]
6465
6466 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
6467 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
6468
6469 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
6470 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
6471 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
6472 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
6473 generation becomes much faster.
6474
6475 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
6476 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
6477 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
6478 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
6479 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
6480 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
6481 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
6482 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
6483 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
6484 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
6485 [Bodo Moeller]
6486
6487 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
6488 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
6489 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
6490 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
6491 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
6492 trial division stage.
6493 [Bodo Moeller]
6494
6495 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
6496 as ASN1_TIME.
6497 [Steve Henson]
6498
6499 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
6500 [Steve Henson]
6501
6502 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
6503 [Ulf Möller]
6504
6505 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
6506 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
6507 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
6508 the comments.
6509 [Ulf Möller]
6510
6511 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
6512 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
6513 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
6514 [Bodo Moeller]
6515
6516 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
6517 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
6518 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
6519 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6520
6521 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
6522 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
6523 [Steve Henson]
6524
6525 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
6526 [Ulf Möller]
6527
6528 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
6529 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
6530 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
6531 Rabin-Miller iterations.
6532 [Ulf Möller]
6533
6534 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
6535 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
6536 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
6537 [Ulf Möller]
6538
6539 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
6540 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
6541 (instead of parameters) in future.
6542 [Steve Henson]
6543
6544 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
6545 when a new cipher list is set.
6546 [Steve Henson]
6547
6548 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
6549 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
6550 wrong.
6551
6552 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
6553 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
6554 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
6555
6556 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
6557 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
6558 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
6559 an error is flagged.
6560
6561 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
6562 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
6563 the readability was also increased :-)
6564 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6565
6566 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
6567 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
6568 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
6569 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
6570 as the root CA.
6571 [Steve Henson]
6572
6573 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
6574 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
6575 [Steve Henson]
6576
6577 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
6578 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
6579 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
6580 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
6581 instead.
6582
6583 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
6584 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
6585 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
6586 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
6587 because they handle more complex structures.)
6588 [Steve Henson]
6589
6590 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
6591 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
6592 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
6593 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6594
6595 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
6596 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
6597 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
6598 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
6599 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
6600 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
6601 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
6602 [Ulf Möller]
6603
6604 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
6605 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
6606 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
6607 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
6608 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
6609 [Bodo Moeller]
6610
6611 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
6612 [Bodo Moeller]
6613
6614 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
6615 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
6616 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
6617 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
6618 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
6619 to use this.
6620
6621 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
6622 code.
6623 [Steve Henson]
6624
6625 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
6626 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
6627 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
6628 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
6629 [Steve Henson]
6630
6631 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
6632 [Ulf Möller]
6633
6634 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
6635 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
6636 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
6637 international characters are used.
6638
6639 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
6640 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
6641 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
6642 in ASN1 order.
6643 [Steve Henson]
6644
6645 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
6646 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
6647 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
6648 request.
6649
6650 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
6651 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
6652 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
6653 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
6654 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
6655 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
6656
6657 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
6658 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
6659 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
6660 be handled by the string table functions.
6661
6662 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
6663 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
6664 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
6665 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
6666 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
6667 types at all.
6668 [Steve Henson]
6669
6670 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
6671 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
6672 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
6673 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
6674 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
6675
6676 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
6677 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
6678 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
6679 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
6680 [Bodo Moeller]
6681
6682 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
6683 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
6684 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
6685 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
6686 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
6687 SHA1.
6688 [Andy Polyakov]
6689
6690 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
6691 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
6692 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
6693 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
6694 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
6695 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
6696 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
6697 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
6698
6699 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
6700 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
6701 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
6702 [Steve Henson]
6703
6704 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
6705 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
6706 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
6707 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
6708 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
6709 support to pkcs8 application.
6710 [Steve Henson]
6711
6712 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
6713 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
6714 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
6715 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
6716 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
6717 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
6718 [Bodo Moeller]
6719
6720 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
6721 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
6722 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
6723 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
6724 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
6725 consistency.
6726 [Bodo Moeller]
6727
6728 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
6729 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
6730 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
6731 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
6732 example.
6733 [Steve Henson]
6734
6735 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
6736 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
6737 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
6738 and any application specific purposes.
6739
6740 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
6741 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
6742 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
6743 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
6744 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
6745 if the certificate is self signed.
6746 [Steve Henson]
6747
6748 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
6749 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
6750 [Steve Henson]
6751
6752 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
6753 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
6754 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
6755 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
6756 [Steve Henson]
6757
6758 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
6759 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
6760 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
6761 Update documentation.
6762 [Steve Henson]
6763
6764 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
6765 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
6766 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
6767 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
6768 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
6769 [Steve Henson]
6770
6771 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
6772 for details.
6773 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
6774
6775 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
6776 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
6777 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
6778 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
6779 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
6780 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
6781 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
6782 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
6783 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
6784 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
6785
6786 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
6787
6788 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6789 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6790 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
6791 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
6792 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
6793
6794 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
6795 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
6796 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
6797 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
6798 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
6799 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
6800 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
6801 request additional information:
6802 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
6803 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
6804
6805 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
6806 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
6807 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
6808 options.
6809
6810 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
6811 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
6812
6813 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
6814 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
6815 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
6816
6817 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
6818 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6819
6820 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
6821 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
6822 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
6823 algorithm.
6824 [Steve Henson]
6825
6826 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
6827 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
6828 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
6829
6830 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
6831 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
6832 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
6833 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
6834 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
6835 included in OpenSSL.
6836 [Steve Henson]
6837
6838 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
6839 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
6840 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
6841 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
6842 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
6843 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
6844 [Bodo Moeller]
6845
6846 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
6847 PKCS12 structure.
6848 [Steve Henson]
6849
6850 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
6851 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
6852 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
6853 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
6854 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
6855 structure.
6856 [Steve Henson]
6857
6858 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
6859 need initialising.
6860 [Steve Henson]
6861
6862 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
6863 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
6864 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
6865 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
6866 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
6867 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
6868 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
6869 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
6870 be maintained manually.
6871
6872 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
6873 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
6874 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
6875 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
6876 work because people forget to call this function]
6877 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
6878 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
6879 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
6880 [Steve Henson]
6881
6882 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
6883 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
6884 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
6885 should be discouraged from doing it.
6886 [Ben Laurie]
6887
6888 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
6889 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
6890 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
6891 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
6892 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
6893 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
6894 [Steve Henson]
6895
6896 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
6897 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
6898 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
6899
6900 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
6901 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
6902 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
6903
6904 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
6905 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
6906 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
6907 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
6908 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
6909 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
6910
6911 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
6912 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
6913 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
6914
6915 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
6916 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
6917 and vice versa.
6918
6919 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
6920 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
6921 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
6922 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
6923 [Steve Henson]
6924
6925 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
6926 [Steve Henson]
6927
6928 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
6929 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
6930 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
6931 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
6932 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
6933 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
6934 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
6935 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
6936 keys so we should be OK.
6937
6938 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
6939 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
6940 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
6941 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
6942 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
6943 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
6944 stay in the name of compatibility.
6945
6946 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
6947 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
6948 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
6949
6950 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
6951 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
6952 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
6953 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
6954 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
6955 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
6956 supplied key).
6957 [Steve Henson]
6958
6959 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
6960 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
6961 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
6962 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
6963 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
6964 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
6965 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
6966 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
6967 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
6968 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
6969 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
6970 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
6971 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
6972 [Steve Henson]
6973
6974 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
6975 [Steve Henson]
6976
6977 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
6978 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
6979 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
6980 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
6981 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
6982 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
6983 single self signed certificate. This means that:
6984 openssl verify ss.pem
6985 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
6986 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
6987 is OK.
6988 [Steve Henson]
6989
6990 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
6991 (and add it to external session representation).
6992 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
6993 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
6994 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
6995 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
6996 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
6997 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
6998 security holes.
6999 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
7000
7001 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
7002 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
7003 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
7004 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
7005
7006 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
7007 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
7008 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
7009 [Steve Henson]
7010
7011 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
7012 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
7013 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
7014 code.
7015 [Steve Henson]
7016
7017 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
7018 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
7019 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
7020
7021 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
7022 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
7023 certificate auxiliary information.
7024 [Steve Henson]
7025
7026 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
7027 the 'enc' command.
7028 [Steve Henson]
7029
7030 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
7031 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
7032 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
7033 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
7034 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
7035 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
7036 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
7037 [Richard Levitte]
7038
7039 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
7040 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
7041 [Steve Henson]
7042
7043 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
7044 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
7045 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
7046 manpages and fix a few bugs.
7047 [Steve Henson]
7048
7049 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
7050 [Steve Henson]
7051
7052 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
7053 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
7054 [Steve Henson]
7055
7056 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
7057 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
7058 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
7059 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
7060 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
7061 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
7062 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
7063 using the new 'x509' options.
7064
7065 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
7066 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
7067 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
7068 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
7069 for all purposes.
7070 [Steve Henson]
7071
7072 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
7073 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
7074 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
7075 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
7076 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
7077 [Mark Cox]
7078
7079 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
7080 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
7081 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
7082 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
7083 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
7084 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
7085 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
7086 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
7087 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
7088 the key length and effective key length are equal.
7089 [Steve Henson]
7090
7091 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
7092 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
7093 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
7094 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
7095 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
7096 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
7097 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
7098 [Steve Henson]
7099
7100 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
7101 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
7102 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
7103 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
7104 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
7105 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
7106 openssl.cnf for more info.
7107 [Steve Henson]
7108
7109 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
7110 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
7111 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
7112 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
7113 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
7114 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
7115 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
7116 md should be large enough anyway.
7117 [Bodo Moeller]
7118
7119 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
7120 for handling the random seed file.
7121
7122 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
7123 ca,
7124 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
7125 s_client,
7126 s_server,
7127 x509 (when signing).
7128 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
7129 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
7130 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
7131
7132 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
7133 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
7134 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
7135 that support '-rand'.
7136 [Bodo Moeller]
7137
7138 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
7139 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
7140 [Bodo Moeller]
7141
7142 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
7143 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
7144 [Bill Perry]
7145
7146 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
7147 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
7148 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
7149 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
7150 is suitable.
7151 [Steve Henson]
7152
7153 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
7154 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
7155 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
7156 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
7157 [Steve Henson]
7158
7159 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
7160 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
7161 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
7162 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
7163 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
7164 print out all the purposes.
7165 [Steve Henson]
7166
7167 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
7168 functions.
7169 [Steve Henson]
7170
7171 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
7172 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
7173 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
7174 single function call.
7175 [Steve Henson]
7176
7177 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
7178 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
7179 [Andy Polyakov]
7180
7181 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
7182 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
7183 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
7184 [Steve Henson]
7185
7186 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
7187 when producing the local key id.
7188 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7189
7190 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
7191 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
7192 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
7193 "server.pem".
7194 [Steve Henson]
7195
7196 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
7197 a public key to be input or output. For example:
7198 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
7199 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
7200 [Steve Henson]
7201
7202 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
7203 in the message. This was handled by allowing
7204 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
7205 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
7206
7207 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
7208 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
7209 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
7210 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7211
7212 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
7213 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
7214 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
7215 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
7216 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
7217 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
7218 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
7219 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
7220 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
7221 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
7222 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
7223 trivial: move one line.
7224 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
7225
7226 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
7227 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
7228 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
7229 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
7230 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
7231 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
7232 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
7233 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
7234 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
7235 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
7236 with an event loop for example.
7237 [Steve Henson]
7238
7239 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
7240 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
7241 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
7242 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
7243 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
7244 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
7245 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
7246 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
7247 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
7248 [Steve Henson]
7249
7250 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
7251 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
7252 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
7253 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
7254 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
7255 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
7256 [Steve Henson]
7257
7258 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
7259 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
7260 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
7261 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
7262
7263 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
7264 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
7265 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
7266 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
7267 key generation.
7268 [Steve Henson]
7269
7270 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
7271 (still largely untested)
7272 [Bodo Moeller]
7273
7274 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
7275 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
7276 [Steve Henson]
7277
7278 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
7279 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
7280 [Steve Henson]
7281
7282 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
7283 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
7284 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
7285 [Bodo Moeller]
7286
7287 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
7288 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
7289 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
7290 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
7291 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
7292 [Steve Henson]
7293
7294 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
7295 [Andy Polyakov]
7296
7297 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
7298 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
7299 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
7300 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
7301 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
7302 in ca.
7303 [Steve Henson]
7304
7305 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
7306 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
7307 1.OU="Unit name 1"
7308 2.OU="Unit name 2"
7309 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
7310 [Steve Henson]
7311
7312 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
7313 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
7314 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
7315 are otherwise ignored at present.
7316 [Steve Henson]
7317
7318 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
7319 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
7320 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
7321 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
7322 copied until the next read.
7323 [Steve Henson]
7324
7325 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
7326 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
7327 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
7328 [Steve Henson]
7329
7330 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
7331 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
7332 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
7333 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
7334 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
7335 associated functions.
7336 [Steve Henson]
7337
7338 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
7339 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
7340 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
7341 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
7342 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
7343 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
7344 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
7345 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
7346 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
7347 memory BIOs.
7348 [Steve Henson]
7349
7350 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
7351 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
7352 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
7353 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
7354 [Bodo Moeller]
7355
7356 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
7357 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
7358 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
7359 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
7360 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
7361 functionality.
7362 [Steve Henson]
7363
7364 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
7365 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
7366 under Win32.
7367 [Steve Henson]
7368
7369 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
7370 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
7371 extensions to be obtained and added.
7372 [Steve Henson]
7373
7374 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
7375 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
7376 [Bodo Moeller]
7377
7378 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
7379
7380 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7381 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7382
7383 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
7384 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
7385
7386 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
7387 program.
7388 [Steve Henson]
7389
7390 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
7391 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
7392 DH parameters contain its length).
7393
7394 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
7395 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
7396 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
7397 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
7398 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
7399 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
7400 utter importance to use
7401 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7402 or
7403 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7404 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
7405 attacks may become possible!
7406 [Bodo Moeller]
7407
7408 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
7409 [Bodo Moeller]
7410
7411 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
7412 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
7413 [Steve Henson]
7414
7415 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
7416 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
7417 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
7418 or long name.
7419 [Steve Henson]
7420
7421 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
7422 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
7423 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
7424 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
7425 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
7426 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
7427 private key operations.
7428 [Steve Henson]
7429
7430 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
7431 [Andy Polyakov]
7432
7433 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
7434 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
7435 to
7436 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
7437 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
7438 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
7439 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
7440 the password callback is called.
7441 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
7442
7443 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
7444
7445 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
7446 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
7447 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
7448 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
7449 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
7450 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
7451 this will work.
7452
7453 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
7454 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
7455 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
7456 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
7457 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
7458 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
7459 [Bodo Moeller]
7460
7461 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
7462 [Andy Polyakov]
7463
7464 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
7465 delete an unused file.
7466 [Ulf Möller]
7467
7468 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
7469 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
7470 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
7471 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
7472 [Steve Henson]
7473
7474 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
7475 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
7476 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
7477 of an error.
7478 [Bodo Moeller]
7479
7480 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
7481 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
7482 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7483
7484 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
7485 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
7486 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
7487 comparison" warnings.
7488 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
7489 [Steve Henson]
7490
7491 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
7492 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
7493 derived keys are printed to stderr.
7494 [Steve Henson]
7495
7496 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
7497 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
7498
7499 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
7500 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
7501
7502 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
7503 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
7504 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
7505
7506 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
7507 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
7508 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
7509 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
7510 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
7511 this bug.
7512 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
7513
7514 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
7515 The interface is as follows:
7516 Applications can use
7517 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
7518 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
7519 "off" is now the default.
7520 The library internally uses
7521 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
7522 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
7523 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
7524
7525 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
7526 even the default) are now avoided.
7527
7528 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
7529 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
7530 than just having a counter.
7531
7532 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
7533
7534 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
7535 extensions.
7536 [Bodo Moeller]
7537
7538 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
7539 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
7540 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
7541 Initial "mode" flags are:
7542
7543 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
7544 a single record has been written.
7545 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
7546 retries use the same buffer location.
7547 (But all of the contents must be
7548 copied!)
7549 [Bodo Moeller]
7550
7551 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
7552 worked.
7553
7554 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
7555 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
7556
7557 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
7558 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
7559 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
7560 [Steve Henson]
7561
7562 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
7563 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
7564 test programs.
7565 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
7566
7567 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
7568 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
7569 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
7570 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
7571 point to the end.
7572 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
7573 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
7574
7575 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
7576 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
7577 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
7578 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
7579 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
7580 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
7581 [Steve Henson]
7582
7583 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
7584 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
7585 necessary function names.
7586 [Steve Henson]
7587
7588 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
7589 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
7590 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
7591 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
7592 [Bodo Moeller]
7593
7594 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
7595 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
7596 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
7597 [Steve Henson]
7598
7599 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
7600 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
7601 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
7602 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
7603 such programs?)
7604 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
7605 need locks.
7606 [Bodo Moeller]
7607
7608 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
7609 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
7610 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
7611 [Bodo Moeller]
7612
7613 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
7614 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
7615 appropriate.
7616 [Bodo Moeller]
7617
7618 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
7619 for the encoded length.
7620 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
7621
7622 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
7623 [Steve Henson]
7624
7625 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
7626 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
7627 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
7628 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
7629 [Steve Henson]
7630
7631 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
7632 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
7633 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7634
7635 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
7636 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
7637 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
7638 unusual formatting.
7639 [Steve Henson]
7640
7641 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
7642 to use the new extension code.
7643 [Steve Henson]
7644
7645 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
7646 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
7647 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
7648 constant.
7649 [Steve Henson]
7650
7651 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
7652 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
7653 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
7654 [Bodo Moeller]
7655
7656 #if 0
7657 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
7658 [Ben Laurie]
7659 #else
7660 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
7661 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
7662 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
7663 #endif
7664
7665 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
7666 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
7667 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
7668 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
7669 [Ben Laurie]
7670
7671 *) DES library cleanups.
7672 [Ulf Möller]
7673
7674 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
7675 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
7676 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
7677 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
7678 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
7679 of v2.0.
7680 [Steve Henson]
7681
7682 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
7683 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
7684 [Bodo Moeller]
7685
7686 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
7687 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
7688 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
7689 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
7690 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
7691 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
7692 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
7693 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
7694 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
7695 [Steve Henson]
7696
7697 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
7698 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
7699 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
7700 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
7701 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
7702 value doesn't matter.
7703 [Steve Henson]
7704
7705 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
7706 support mutable.
7707 [Ben Laurie]
7708
7709 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
7710 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
7711 "linux-sparc" configuration.
7712 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
7713
7714 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
7715 [Ulf Möller]
7716
7717 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
7718 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
7719 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7720
7721 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
7722 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7723
7724 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
7725 [Ben Laurie]
7726
7727 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
7728 [Ben Laurie]
7729
7730 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
7731 [Ben Laurie]
7732
7733 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
7734 [Bodo Moeller]
7735
7736
7737 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
7738
7739 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
7740
7741 *) Updated some demos.
7742 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
7743
7744 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
7745 [Wu Zhigang]
7746
7747 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
7748 [Steve Henson]
7749
7750 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
7751 [Steve Henson]
7752
7753 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
7754 instead of using a fixed path.
7755 [Bodo Moeller]
7756
7757 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
7758 [Andy Polyakov]
7759
7760 *) Improvements for VMS support.
7761 [Richard Levitte]
7762
7763
7764 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
7765
7766 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
7767 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
7768 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7769
7770 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
7771 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
7772 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
7773 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
7774 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
7775 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
7776 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
7777 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
7778 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
7779 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
7780 [Steve Henson]
7781
7782 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
7783 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
7784 [Steve Henson]
7785
7786 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
7787 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
7788 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
7789 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
7790 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
7791
7792 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
7793 [Bodo Moeller]
7794
7795 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
7796 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
7797 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
7798 [Steve Henson]
7799
7800 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
7801 [Ben Laurie]
7802
7803 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
7804 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
7805 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
7806 key elements as negative integers.
7807 [Steve Henson]
7808
7809 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
7810 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7811
7812 *) VMS support.
7813 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
7814
7815 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
7816 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
7817 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
7818 [Steve Henson]
7819
7820 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
7821 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
7822 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
7823 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
7824 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
7825 [Bodo Moeller]
7826
7827 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
7828 [Ulf Möller]
7829
7830 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
7831 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
7832 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
7833 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7834
7835 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
7836 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
7837 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
7838
7839 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
7840 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
7841 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
7842 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
7843 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
7844 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
7845 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
7846 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
7847 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
7848
7849 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
7850 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
7851 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
7852 does not influence s as it used to.
7853
7854 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
7855 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
7856 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
7857 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
7858 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
7859 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
7860 [Bodo Moeller]
7861
7862 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
7863 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
7864 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
7865 key type.
7866 [Steve Henson]
7867
7868 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
7869 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
7870 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
7871 and 'x509').
7872 [Steve Henson]
7873
7874 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
7875 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
7876 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
7877 extension option.
7878 [Steve Henson]
7879
7880 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
7881 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
7882 [Ben Laurie]
7883
7884 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
7885 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7886
7887 *) Support Mingw32.
7888 [Ulf Möller]
7889
7890 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
7891 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7892
7893 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
7894 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7895
7896 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
7897 [Ulf Möller]
7898
7899 *) Update HPUX configuration.
7900 [Anonymous]
7901
7902 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
7903 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7904
7905 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
7906 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
7907 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
7908 DER-encoded.)
7909 [Bodo Moeller]
7910
7911 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
7912 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
7913 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
7914 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
7915 now it really counts the depth.
7916 [Bodo Moeller]
7917
7918 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
7919 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
7920 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
7921 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
7922 didn't match the private key).
7923
7924 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
7925 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
7926 connection using the SSL_CTX).
7927 [Bodo Moeller]
7928
7929 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
7930 [Ulf Möller]
7931
7932 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
7933 David Harris.
7934 [Bodo Moeller]
7935
7936 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
7937 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
7938 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
7939 [Bodo Moeller]
7940
7941 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
7942 [Bodo Moeller]
7943
7944 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
7945 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
7946 such as /usr/local/bin.
7947 [Bodo Moeller]
7948
7949 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
7950 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7951
7952 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
7953 [Ulf Möller]
7954
7955 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
7956 extension adding in x509 utility.
7957 [Steve Henson]
7958
7959 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
7960 [Ulf Möller]
7961
7962 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
7963 prototypes.
7964 [Steve Henson]
7965
7966 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
7967 [Ulf Möller]
7968
7969 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
7970 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
7971 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
7972 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
7973 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
7974 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
7975 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
7976 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
7977 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
7978 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
7979 [Steve Henson]
7980
7981 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
7982 [Bodo Moeller]
7983
7984 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
7985 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
7986 [Bodo Moeller]
7987
7988 *) Fix some race conditions.
7989 [Bodo Moeller]
7990
7991 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
7992 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
7993 [Steve Henson]
7994
7995 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
7996 [Ulf Möller]
7997
7998 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
7999 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
8000 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
8001 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
8002
8003 *) Fix lots of warnings.
8004 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8005
8006 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
8007 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
8008 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8009
8010 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
8011 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8012
8013 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
8014 [Ulf Möller]
8015
8016 *) Fix typos in error codes.
8017 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
8018
8019 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
8020 [Ulf Möller]
8021
8022 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
8023 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8024
8025 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
8026 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
8027 [Steve Henson]
8028
8029 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
8030 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
8031 [Ben Laurie]
8032
8033 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
8034 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
8035 [Steve Henson]
8036
8037 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
8038 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
8039 [Steve Henson]
8040
8041 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
8042 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
8043 [Steve Henson]
8044
8045 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
8046 support typesafe stack.
8047 [Steve Henson]
8048
8049 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
8050 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
8051
8052 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
8053 old X509V3 handling code.
8054 [Steve Henson]
8055
8056 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
8057 [Ulf Möller]
8058
8059 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
8060 [Bodo Moeller]
8061
8062 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
8063 [Ben Laurie]
8064
8065 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
8066 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
8067
8068 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
8069 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
8070 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
8071 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
8072 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
8073 [Ben Laurie]
8074
8075 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
8076 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
8077 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
8078 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
8079 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
8080
8081 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
8082 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
8083 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
8084 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8085
8086 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
8087 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
8088 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
8089 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8090
8091 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
8092 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
8093 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
8094 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
8095 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
8096 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
8097 [Bodo Moeller]
8098
8099 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
8100 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
8101 [Bodo Moeller]
8102
8103 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
8104 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
8105 [Ulf Möller]
8106
8107 *) Tweaks to Configure
8108 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8109
8110 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
8111 yet...
8112 [Steve Henson]
8113
8114 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
8115 [Ulf Möller]
8116
8117 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
8118 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
8119 [Ulf Möller]
8120
8121 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
8122 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
8123 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
8124 [Bodo Moeller]
8125
8126 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
8127 [Bodo Moeller]
8128
8129 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
8130 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
8131 [Steve Henson]
8132
8133 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
8134 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
8135 to library startup routines.
8136 [Steve Henson]
8137
8138 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
8139 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
8140 codes along the way.
8141 [Steve Henson]
8142
8143 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
8144 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
8145 objects to objects.h
8146 [Steve Henson]
8147
8148 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
8149 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
8150 [Steve Henson]
8151
8152 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
8153 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
8154
8155 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
8156 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
8157 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
8158
8159 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
8160 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8161 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8162
8163 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
8164 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
8165 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
8166
8167
8168 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
8169
8170 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
8171 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
8172 [Ben Laurie]
8173
8174 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
8175 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
8176 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
8177 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
8178 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
8179
8180 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
8181 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
8182 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
8183 document.
8184 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8185
8186 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
8187 Malloc, Free.
8188 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
8189
8190 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
8191 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8192
8193 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
8194 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
8195 if someone would make that last step automatic.
8196 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
8197
8198 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
8199 [Ben Laurie]
8200
8201 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
8202 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
8203 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
8204 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
8205 [Steve Henson]
8206
8207 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
8208 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
8209 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
8210 [Steve Henson]
8211
8212 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
8213 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
8214 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
8215 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
8216 installed as `perl').
8217 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8218
8219 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
8220 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8221
8222 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
8223 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
8224 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
8225 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
8226 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
8227 [Steve Henson]
8228
8229 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
8230 [Ben Laurie]
8231
8232 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
8233 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
8234 is horrible: I feel ill....
8235 [Steve Henson]
8236
8237 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
8238 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
8239 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
8240 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
8241 [Steve Henson]
8242
8243 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
8244 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8245
8246 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
8247 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
8248 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
8249 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8250
8251 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
8252 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
8253 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
8254 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
8255 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
8256 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
8257 openssl_bio.xs.
8258 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8259
8260 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
8261 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8262
8263 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
8264 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
8265
8266 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
8267 [Ben Laurie]
8268
8269 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
8270 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
8271 in CRLs.
8272 [Steve Henson]
8273
8274 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
8275 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
8276 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
8277 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
8278 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
8279 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
8280 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
8281 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
8282 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
8283 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
8284 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8285
8286 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
8287 [Ben Laurie]
8288
8289 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
8290 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
8291 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
8292 for linking it into DSOs.
8293 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8294
8295 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
8296 Fixed.
8297 [Ben Laurie]
8298
8299 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
8300 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
8301 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
8302 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
8303 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
8304 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8305
8306 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
8307 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
8308 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
8309 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
8310 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
8311 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
8312 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8313
8314 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
8315 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
8316 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
8317 encryption.
8318 [Ben Laurie]
8319
8320 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
8321 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
8322 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
8323 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
8324 [Steve Henson]
8325
8326 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
8327 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
8328 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
8329 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
8330 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
8331 field as blank.
8332 [Steve Henson]
8333
8334 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
8335 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
8336 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
8337 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
8338 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8339
8340 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
8341 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
8342 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8343
8344 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
8345 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8346
8347 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
8348 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
8349 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
8350 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
8351 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
8352 [Steve Henson]
8353
8354 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
8355 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
8356 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
8357 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
8358 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
8359 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
8360 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
8361 [Ben Laurie]
8362
8363 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
8364 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
8365 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
8366 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
8367 [Ben Laurie]
8368
8369 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
8370 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
8371
8372 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
8373 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
8374 [Steve Henson]
8375
8376 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
8377 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
8378 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
8379 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
8380 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
8381 (e.g. s_server).
8382 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
8383 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
8384 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
8385 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
8386 no way to reconfigure them.
8387 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
8388 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
8389 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
8390 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
8391 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
8392 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8393
8394 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
8395 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
8396 recognized by the users.
8397 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8398
8399 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
8400 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
8401 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
8402 already masked variable.
8403 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8404
8405 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
8406 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8407
8408 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
8409 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
8410 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
8411 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8412
8413 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
8414 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
8415 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8416
8417 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
8418 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
8419 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
8420 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
8421 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
8422 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
8423 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
8424 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
8425 now, too.
8426 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8427
8428 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
8429 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
8430 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8431
8432 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
8433 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
8434 config file.
8435 [Steve Henson]
8436
8437 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
8438 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8439
8440 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
8441 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
8442 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
8443 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
8444 [Ben Laurie]
8445
8446 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
8447 [Steve Henson]
8448
8449 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
8450 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8451
8452 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
8453 [Ben Laurie]
8454
8455 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
8456 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
8457 [Steve Henson]
8458
8459 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
8460 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
8461 [Steve Henson]
8462
8463 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
8464 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
8465 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
8466 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
8467 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
8468 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
8469 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
8470 Ben Laurie]
8471
8472 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
8473 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8474
8475 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
8476 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
8477 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
8478 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
8479 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8480
8481 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
8482 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
8483 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
8484 [Steve Henson]
8485
8486 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
8487 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
8488 an example.
8489 [Steve Henson]
8490
8491 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
8492 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
8493 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8494
8495 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
8496 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
8497 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
8498 build instructions.
8499 [Steve Henson]
8500
8501 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
8502 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
8503 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
8504 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
8505 [Steve Henson]
8506
8507 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
8508 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
8509 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
8510 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
8511 [Ben Laurie]
8512
8513 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
8514 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
8515 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
8516 so it wasn't spotted.
8517 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
8518
8519 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
8520 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
8521 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
8522 vectors if you have them.
8523 [Ben Laurie]
8524
8525 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
8526 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
8527 [Ben Laurie]
8528
8529 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
8530 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
8531 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
8532 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
8533 If you do a:
8534 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
8535 it will update them.
8536 [Steve Henson]
8537
8538 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
8539 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
8540 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
8541 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
8542 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
8543 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
8544 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
8545 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8546
8547 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
8548 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
8549 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
8550 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
8551 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
8552 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
8553 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
8554 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
8555 the crypto/md/ stuff).
8556 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8557
8558 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
8559 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
8560 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
8561 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
8562 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
8563 [Steve Henson]
8564
8565 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
8566 INTEGER code.
8567 [Steve Henson]
8568
8569 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
8570 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8571
8572 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
8573 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8574
8575 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
8576 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
8577 [Ben Laurie]
8578
8579 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
8580 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
8581
8582 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
8583 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
8584
8585 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
8586 [Steve Henson]
8587
8588 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
8589 few typos.
8590 [Steve Henson]
8591
8592 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
8593 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
8594 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
8595 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8596
8597 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8598 [Steve Henson]
8599
8600 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8601 [Steve Henson]
8602
8603 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
8604 [Steve Henson]
8605
8606 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
8607 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
8608 [Steve Henson]
8609
8610 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
8611 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
8612 CA extensions.
8613 [Steve Henson]
8614
8615 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
8616 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
8617 [Steve Henson]
8618
8619 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
8620 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
8621 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
8622 [Steve Henson]
8623
8624 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
8625 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
8626 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
8627 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
8628 properly to be processed.
8629 [Steve Henson]
8630
8631 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
8632 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
8633 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
8634 [Ben Laurie]
8635
8636 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
8637 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
8638
8639 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
8640 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
8641 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
8642 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
8643 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
8644 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
8645 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
8646 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
8647 or delete all the .err files.
8648 [Steve Henson]
8649
8650 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
8651 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
8652 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
8653 to regenerate it if needed.
8654 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
8655 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
8656
8657 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
8658 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8659
8660 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
8661 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
8662 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
8663 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
8664 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
8665 [Steve Henson]
8666
8667 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
8668 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8669
8670 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
8671 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8672
8673 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
8674 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
8675 error, but didn't set one).
8676 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8677
8678 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
8679 [Ben Laurie]
8680
8681 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
8682 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
8683 [Steve Henson]
8684
8685 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
8686 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
8687
8688 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
8689 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
8690 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
8691 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
8692 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
8693 OID is not part of the table.
8694 [Steve Henson]
8695
8696 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
8697 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
8698 [Ben Laurie]
8699
8700 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
8701 [Ben Laurie]
8702
8703 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
8704 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
8705 was "1234").
8706 [Steve Henson]
8707
8708 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
8709 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
8710
8711 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
8712 NULL pointers.
8713 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8714
8715 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
8716 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8717
8718 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
8719 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8720
8721 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
8722 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8723
8724 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
8725 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
8726 [Ben Laurie]
8727
8728 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
8729 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
8730 [Steve Henson]
8731
8732 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
8733 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8734
8735 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
8736 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8737
8738 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
8739 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8740
8741 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
8742 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8743
8744 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
8745 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
8746 unused in the certificate verification process.
8747 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8748
8749 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
8750 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
8751 [Steve Henson]
8752
8753 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
8754 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
8755 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
8756
8757 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
8758 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
8759 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
8760 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
8761 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
8762
8763 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
8764 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
8765 [Steve Henson]
8766
8767 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
8768 [Steve Henson]
8769
8770 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
8771 [Paul Sutton]
8772
8773 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
8774 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
8775
8776 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
8777 [Ben Laurie]
8778
8779 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
8780 [Ben Laurie]
8781
8782 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
8783 [Ben Laurie]
8784
8785 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
8786 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
8787 other error libraries.
8788 [Steve Henson]
8789
8790 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
8791 [Steve Henson]
8792
8793 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
8794 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
8795 be read in.
8796 [Steve Henson]
8797
8798 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
8799 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
8800 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
8801 the new set of documenation files.
8802 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8803
8804 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
8805 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
8806 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
8807 number of arguments.
8808 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
8809
8810 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
8811 [Ben Laurie]
8812
8813 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
8814 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
8815 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8816
8817 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
8818 [Ben Laurie]
8819
8820 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
8821 nextstep
8822 ncr-scde
8823 unixware-2.0
8824 unixware-2.0-pentium
8825 sco5-cc.
8826 [Ben Laurie]
8827
8828 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
8829 before they are needed.
8830 [Ben Laurie]
8831
8832 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
8833 [Ben Laurie]
8834
8835
8836 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
8837
8838 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
8839 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
8840 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8841
8842 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
8843 [Paul Sutton]
8844
8845 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
8846 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
8847 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8848
8849 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
8850 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
8851 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
8852
8853 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
8854 when "ssleay" is still not found.
8855 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8856
8857 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
8858 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
8859
8860 *) Updated the README file.
8861 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8862
8863 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
8864 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
8865 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8866
8867 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
8868 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
8869 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8870
8871 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
8872 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
8873 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
8874 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
8875 o removed obsolete TODO file
8876 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
8877 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8878
8879 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
8880 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
8881 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
8882 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
8883 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
8884 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
8885 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8886
8887 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
8888 [Mark J. Cox]
8889
8890 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
8891 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
8892 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
8893 summer 1998.
8894 [The OpenSSL Project]
8895
8896
8897 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
8898
8899 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
8900 [Eric A. Young]
8901
8902 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
8903 [Eric A. Young]
8904
8905 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
8906 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
8907 [Eric A. Young]
8908
8909 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
8910 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
8911 available).
8912 [Eric A. Young]
8913
8914 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
8915 binary structures
8916 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
8917
8918 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
8919 [Eric A. Young]
8920
8921 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
8922 [Eric A. Young]
8923
8924 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
8925 [Eric A. Young]
8926
8927 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
8928 [Eric A. Young]
8929
8930 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
8931 [Eric A. Young]
8932
8933 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
8934 [Eric A. Young]
8935
8936 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
8937 [Eric A. Young]
8938
8939 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
8940 [Eric A. Young]
8941
8942 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
8943 [Eric A. Young]
8944
8945 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
8946 [Eric A. Young]
8947
8948 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
8949 [Eric A. Young]
8950
8951 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
8952 [Eric A. Young]
8953
8954 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
8955 [Eric A. Young]
8956
8957 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
8958 [Eric A. Young]
8959
8960 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
8961 [Eric A. Young]
8962
8963 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
8964 [Eric A. Young]
8965
8966 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
8967 [Eric A. Young]
8968
8969 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
8970 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
8971 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
8972 [Eric A. Young]
8973
8974 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
8975 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
8976 [Eric A. Young]
8977
8978 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
8979 [Eric A. Young]
8980
8981 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
8982 [Eric A. Young]
8983
8984 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
8985 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
8986 [Eric A. Young]
8987
8988 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
8989 [Eric A. Young]
8990
8991 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
8992 [Eric A. Young]
8993
8994 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
8995 bytes sent in the client random.
8996 [Edward Bishop <ebishop@spyglass.com>]
8997
