3 _______________
4
5 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
8 with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
9 The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
10 in OpenSSL 1.2.0.
11 [Richard Levitte]
12
13 *) Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
14 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
15 [Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov]
16
17 *) Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
18 does for RSA, etc.
19 [Richard Levitte]
20
21 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
22 platform rather than 'mingw'.
23 [Richard Levitte]
24
25 *) The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
26 success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
27 in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
28 certificates and CRLs.
29 [Paul Dale]
30
31 *) x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
32 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
33 [Andy Polyakov]
34
35 *) Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
36 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
37 [Richard Levitte]
38
39 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
40 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
41 which is the minimum version we support.
42 [Richard Levitte]
43
44 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
45 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
46 are no longer allowed.
47 [Emilia Käsper]
48
49 *) Add support for ARIA
50 [Paul Dale]
51
52 *) s_client will now send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension by
53 default unless the new "-noservername" option is used. The server name is
54 based on the host provided to the "-connect" option unless overridden by
55 using "-servername".
56 [Matt Caswell]
57
58 *) Add support for SipHash
59 [Todd Short]
60
61 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
62 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
63 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
64 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
65 [Matt Caswell]
66
67 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
68 using the algorithm defined in
69 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
70 [Richard Levitte]
71
72 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
73 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
74
75 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
76 [Emilia Käsper]
77
78 *) The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid patent
79 issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.
80 [Rich Salz]
81
82 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
83
84 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
85
86 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
87 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
88 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
89 and servers are affected.
90
91 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
92 (CVE-2017-3733)
93 [Matt Caswell]
94
95 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
96
97 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
98
99 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
100 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
101 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
102
103 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
104 (CVE-2017-3731)
105 [Andy Polyakov]
106
107 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
108
109 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
110 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
111 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
112 of Service attack.
113
114 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
115 (CVE-2017-3730)
116 [Matt Caswell]
117
118 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
119
120 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
121 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
122 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
123 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
124 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
125 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
126 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
127 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
128 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
129 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
130 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
131 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
132 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
133
134 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
135 (CVE-2017-3732)
136 [Andy Polyakov]
137
138 Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
139
140 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
141
142 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
143 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
144 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
145
146 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
147 (CVE-2016-7054)
148 [Richard Levitte]
149
150 *) CMS Null dereference
151
152 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
153 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
154 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
155 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
156 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
157 affected.
158
159 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
160 (CVE-2016-7053)
161 [Stephen Henson]
162
163 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
164
165 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
166 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
167 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
168 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
169 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
170 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
171 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
172 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
173 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
174 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
175 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
176 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
177 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
178 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
179
180 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
181 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
182 providing reproducible case.
183 (CVE-2016-7055)
184 [Andy Polyakov]
185
186 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
187 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
188 [Richard Levitte]
189
190 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
191
192 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
193
194 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
195 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
196 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
197 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
198 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
199 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
200
201 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
202
203 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
204 (CVE-2016-6309)
205 [Matt Caswell]
206
207 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
208
209 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
210
211 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
212 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
213 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
214 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
215 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
216 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
217 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
218
219 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
220 (CVE-2016-6304)
221 [Matt Caswell]
222
223 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
224
225 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
226 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
227 Denial Of Service attack.
228
229 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
230 (CVE-2016-6305)
231 [Matt Caswell]
232
233 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
234 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
235
236 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
237 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
238 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
239 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
240 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
241 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
242 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
243 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
244 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
245 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
246 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
247 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
248 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
249 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
250 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
251
252 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
253 that the connection fails
254 or
255 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
256 very little free memory
257 or
258 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
259 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
260 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
261 memory to service the multiple requests.
262
263 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
264 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
265 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
266 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
267 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.
268
269 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
270 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
271 [Matt Caswell]
272
273 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
274 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
275 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
276 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
277 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
278 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
279 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
280 [Andy Polyakov]
281
282 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
283
284 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
285 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
286 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
287 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
288 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
289 non-ASCII password.
290 [Andy Polyakov]
291
292 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
293 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
294 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
295 [Rich Salz]
296
297 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
298 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
299 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
300 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
301 [Matt Caswell]
302
303 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
304 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
305 success.
306 [Matt Caswell]
307
308 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
309 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
310 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
311 no-ops and deprecated.
312 [Matt Caswell]
313
314 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
315 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
316 were also closed.
317 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
318
319 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
320 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
321 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
322 [Rich Salz]
323
324 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
325 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
326 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
327 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
328 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
329 and the validity of object reference counter.
330 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
331
332 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
333 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
334 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
335 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
336 [Richard Levitte]
337
338 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
339 [Richard Levitte]
340
341 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
342 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
343 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
344 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
345
346 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
347
348 [Richard Levitte]
349
350 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
351 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
352 [Steve Henson]
353
354 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
355 [Andy Polyakov]
356
357 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
358 [Rich Salz]
359
360 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
361 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
362 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
363 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
364 name and is used as is.
365 [Richard Levitte]
366
367 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
368 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
369 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
370 [Rich Salz]
371
372 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
373 the "no-shared" Configure option.
374 [Matt Caswell]
375
376 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
377 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
378 algorithms.
379 [Matt Caswell]
380
381 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
382 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
383 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
384 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
385 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
386 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
387 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
388 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
389 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
390 [Matt Caswell]
391
392 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
393 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
394 enabled with '--debug' builds.
395 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
396
397 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
398 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
399 these have been added.
400 [Matt Caswell]
401
402 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
403 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
404 functions for managing these have been added.
405 [Richard Levitte]
406
407 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
408 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
409 these have been added.
410 [Matt Caswell]
411
412 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
413 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
414 have been added.
415 [Matt Caswell]
416
417 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
418 [Matt Caswell]
419
420 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
421 [Richard Levitte]
422
423 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
424 it is always safe to #include a header now.
425 [Rich Salz]
426
427 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
428 [Richard Levitte]
429
430 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
431 [Rich Salz]
432
433 *) Add support for HKDF.
434 [Alessandro Ghedini]
435
436 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
437 [Bill Cox]
438
439 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
440 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
441 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
442 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
443 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
444 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
445 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
446 [Matt Caswell]
447
448 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
449 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
450 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
451 [Catriona Lucey]
452
453 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
454 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
455 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
456 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
457 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
458 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
459 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
460
461 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
462 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
463 [Todd Short]
464
465 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
466 [Todd Short]
467
468 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
469 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
470 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
471 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
472 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
473 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
474 default cipherlist.
475 [Emilia Käsper]
476
477 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
478 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
479 [Rich Salz]
480
481 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
482 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
483 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
484 [Matt Caswell]
485
486 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
487 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
488 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
489 implemented by other servers.
490 [Emilia Käsper]
491
492 *) Add X25519 support.
493 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
494 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
495 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
496 key generation and key derivation.
497
498 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
499 X25519(29).
500 [Steve Henson]
501
502 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
503 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
504 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
505 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
506 seed, even if the seed is configured.
507
508 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
509 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
510 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
511 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
512 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
513 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
514 that of a valid user.
515 [Emilia Käsper]
516
517 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
518 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
519 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
520 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
521
522 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
523 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
524
525 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
526 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
527 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
528 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
529
530 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
531 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
532 irrelevant.
533 [Richard Levitte]
534
535 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
536 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
537 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
538 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
539 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
540 of how OpenSSL was configured.
541
542 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
543 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
544 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
545 [Richard Levitte]
546
547 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
548 [Rich Salz]
549
550 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
551 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
552 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
553 removed.
554 [Richard Levitte]
555
556 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
557 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
558 old #define's might need to be updated.
559 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
560
561 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
562 [Rich Salz]
563
564 *) New "unified" build system
565
566 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
567 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
568
569 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
570 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
571 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
572
573 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
574 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
575 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
576 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
577 descrip.mms.tmpl.
578
579 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
580 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
581 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
582 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
583 libraries" in INSTALL.
584
585 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
586 [Richard Levitte]
587
588 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
589 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
590 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
591 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
592 [Matt Caswell]
593
594 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
595 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
596
597 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
598 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
599 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
600 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
601 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
602 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
603 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
604 have been adapted accordingly.
605 [Richard Levitte]
606
607 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
608 the leading 0-byte.
609 [Emilia Käsper]
610
611 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
612 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
613 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
614 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
615 [Emilia Käsper]
616
617 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
618 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
619 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
620 'unsigned char*'.
621 [Emilia Käsper]
622
623 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
624 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
625 [Emilia Käsper]
626
627 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
628 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
629 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
630 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
631 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
632 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
633 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
634
635 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
636 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
637
638 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
639 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
640 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
641 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
642 Text::Template.
643
644 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
645 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
646 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
647 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
648 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
649 %target).
650 [Richard Levitte]
651
652 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
653 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
654 straightforward and less interdependent.
655
656 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
657 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
658 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
659
660 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
661 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
662 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
663 installed.
664 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
665 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
666 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
667 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
668
669 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
670 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
671 [Richard Levitte]
672
673 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
674 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
675 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
676 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
677 is present).
678 [Matt Caswell]
679
680 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
681 configuring.
682 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
683
684 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
685 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
686 before trying to build now.*
687 [Rich Salz]
688
689 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
690 has changed.
691 [Rich Salz]
692
693 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
694
695 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
696 the application's responsibility. The application provides
697 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
698 used to authenticate the peer.
699
700 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
701 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
702 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
703 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
704 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
705 [Viktor Dukhovni]
706
707 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
708 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
709 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
710 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
711 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
712 or the 1.1.0 releases.
713
714 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
715 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
716 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
717 support for the deprecated features from the library and
718 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
719 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
720 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
721 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
722 version.
723
724 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
725 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
726 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
727 compile with later releases.
728
729 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
730 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
731 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
732 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
733 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
734 [Viktor Dukhovni]
735
736 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
737 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
738 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
739 MaxProtcol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
740 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
741 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
742 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
743 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
744 [Kurt Roeckx]
745
746 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
747 [Andy Polyakov]
748
749 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
750 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
751 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
752 ECDSA_SIG format.
753
754 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
755 include the ec.h header file instead.
756 [Steve Henson]
757
758 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
759 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
760 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
761 [Kurt Roeckx]
762
763 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
764 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
765 were added:
766
767 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
768 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
769
770 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
771 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
772 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
773
774 Additional changes:
775 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
776 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
777 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
778 an already created structure.
779 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
780 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
781 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
782 for deprecated builds.
783 [Richard Levitte]
784
785 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
786 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
787 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
788 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
789 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
790 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
791 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
792 [Matt Caswell]
793
794 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
795 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
796 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
797 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
798 [Kurt Roeckx]
799
800 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
801 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
802 [Kurt Roeckx]
803
804 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
805 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
806 [Kurt Roeckx]
807
808 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
809 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
810 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
811 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
812 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
813 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
814 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
815 also been removed.
816 [Matt Caswell]
817
818 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
819 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
820 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
821 [Rich Salz]
822
823 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
824 [Rich Salz]
825
826 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
827 sureware and ubsec.
828 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
829
830 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
831
832 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
833 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
834
835 FOO *x;
836
837 it must be:
838
839 FOO x;
840
841 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
842 set a mandatory field to NULL.
843
844 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
845 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
846 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
847 SEQUENCE OF.
848 [Steve Henson]
849
850 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
851 [Emilia Käsper]
852
853 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
854 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
855 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
856 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
857 [Matt Caswell]
858
859 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
860 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
861 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
862 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
863 [Emilia Käsper]
864
865 *) Fix no-stdio build.
866 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
867 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
868
869 *) New testing framework
870 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
871 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
872 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
873 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
874 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
875 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
876
877 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
878
879 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
880 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
881
882 [Richard Levitte]
883
884 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
885 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
886 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
887 and others were changed. All are now documented.
888 [Rich Salz]
889
890 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
891 return an error
892 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
893
894 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
895 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
896
897 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
898 original RSA_PSK patch.
899 [Steve Henson]
900
901 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
902 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
903 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
904 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
905 [Matt Caswell]
906
907 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
908 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
909 [Richard Levitte]
910
911 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
912 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
913 hasn't been working properly for a while.
914 [Emilia Käsper]
915
916 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
917 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
918 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
919 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
920 transferred.
921 [Matt Caswell]
922
923 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
924 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
925 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
926 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
927 [Matt Caswell]
928
929 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
930 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
931 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
932 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
933 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
934 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
935 [Matt Caswell]
936
937 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
938 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
939 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
940 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
941 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
942 header file has been removed.
943 [Matt Caswell]
944
945 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
946 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
947 [Matt Caswell]
948
949 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
950 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
951 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
952
953 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
954 Added a test.
955 [Rich Salz]
956
957 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
958 [Rich Salz]
959
960 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
961 sha256
962 [Rich Salz]
963
964 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
965 [Matt Caswell]
966
967 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
968 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
969 initial patch which was a great help during development.
970 [Steve Henson]
971
972 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
973 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
974 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
975 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
976 [Matt Caswell]
977
978 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
979 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
980 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
981 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
982 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
983 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
984 [Matt Caswell]
985
986 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
987 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
988 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
989 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
990 [Matt Caswell]
991
992 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
993 compatible client hello.
994 [Kurt Roeckx]
995
996 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
997 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
998 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
999
1000 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
1001 [Rich Salz]
1002
1003 *) Removed old DES API.
1004 [Rich Salz]
1005
1006 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
1007 Sony NEWS4
1008 BEOS and BEOS_R5
1009 NeXT
1010 SUNOS
1011 MPE/iX
1012 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
1013 DGUX
1014 NCR
1015 Tandem
1016 Cray
1017 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
1018 [Rich Salz]
1019
1020 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
1021 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
1022 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
1023 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
1024 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
1025 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
1026 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
1027 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
1028 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
1029 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
1030 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
1031 [Rich Salz]
1032
1033 *) Cleaned up dead code
1034 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
1035 [Rich Salz]
1036
1037 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
1038 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
1039 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
1040 [Rich Salz]
1041
1042 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
1043 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
1044 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
1045 [Rich Salz]
1046
1047 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
1048 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
1049 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
1050
1051 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
1052 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
1053 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
1054
1055 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1056 compilation flags.
1057 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1058
1059 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1060 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
1061 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1062
1063 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1064 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1065
1066 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1067 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1068 server.
1069
1070 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1071 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1072 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1073 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1074
1075 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1076 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1077 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1078 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1079
1080 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1081 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1082 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1083
1084 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1085 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1086 [Steve Henson]
1087
1088 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
1089
1090 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
1091 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
1092
1093 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
1094 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
1095
1096 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
1097 effect.
1098
1099 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
1100
1101 [Steve Henson]
1102
1103 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1104 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1105 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1106 algorithms and include tests cases.
1107 [Steve Henson]
1108
1109 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
1110 enveloped data.
1111 [Steve Henson]
1112
1113 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1114 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1115 [Steve Henson]
1116
1117 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1118 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1119
1120 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
1121 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
1122 [Steve Henson]
1123
1124 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
1125 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
1126 failures.
1127 [Steve Henson]
1128
1129 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
1130 sign or verify all in one operation.
1131 [Steve Henson]
1132
1133 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
1134 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
1135 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
1136 [Steve Henson]
1137
1138 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
1139 [Steve Henson]
1140
1141 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
1142 [Steve Henson]
1143
1144 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
1145 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
1146 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
1147 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
1148 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
1149 [Steve Henson]
1150
1151 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
1152 based on NID.
1153 [Steve Henson]
1154
1155 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
1156 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
1157 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
1158 [Steve Henson]
1159
1160 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
1161 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
1162
1163 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
1164 POST to handle HMAC cases.
1165 [Steve Henson]
1166
1167 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
1168 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
1169 [Steve Henson]
1170
1171 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
1172 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
1173 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1174 [Steve Henson]
1175
1176 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
1177 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
1178 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
1179 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
1180 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
1181 requested amount of entropy.
1182 [Steve Henson]
1183
1184 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
1185 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
1186 [Steve Henson]
1187
1188 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
1189 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
1190 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
1191 support.
1192 [Steve Henson]
1193
1194 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
1195 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
1196 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
1197 [Steve Henson]
1198
1199 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
1200 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
1201 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
1202 will never use XTS mode.
1203 [Steve Henson]
1204
1205 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
1206 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
1207 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
1208 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
1209 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
1210 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
1211 [Steve Henson]
1212
1213 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
1214 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
1215 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
1216 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
1217 [Steve Henson]
1218
1219 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
1220 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
1221 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
1222 [Steve Henson]
1223
1224 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
1225 [Steve Henson]
1226
1227 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
1228 [Steve Henson]
1229
1230 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
1231 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
1232 [Steve Henson]
1233
1234 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
1235 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
1236 [Steve Henson]
1237
1238 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
1239 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
1240 [Steve Henson]
1241
1242 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
1243 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
1244 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
1245 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
1246 and rename any affected symbols.
1247 [Steve Henson]
1248
1249 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
1250 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
1251 [Steve Henson]
1252
1253 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
1254 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
1255 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
1256 [Steve Henson]
1257
1258 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1259 [Steve Henson]
1260
1261 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
1262 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
1263 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
1264 [Steve Henson]
1265
1266 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
1267 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
1268 [Steve Henson]
1269
1270 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
1271 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
1272 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
1273 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
1274 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
1275 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
1276 set before the key.
1277 [Steve Henson]
1278
1279 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
1280 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
1281 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
1282 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
1283 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
1284 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
1285 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
1286 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
1287 [Steve Henson]
1288
1289 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
1290 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
1291 [Steve Henson]
1292
1293 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
1294
1295 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1296 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1297
1298 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
1299 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
1300 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
1301 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
1302 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
1303 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
1304
1305 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
1306 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
1307 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
1308 security.
1309 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1310
1311 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
1312 parameters by name.
1313 [Steve Henson]
1314
1315 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
1316 Add CMAC pkey methods.
1317 [Steve Henson]
1318
1319 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
1320 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
1321 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
1322 [Steve Henson]
1323
1324 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
1325 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
1326 multi-process servers.
1327 [Steve Henson]
1328
1329 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
1330 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
1331 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
1332 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
1333 RAND_METHOD structure.
1334 [Steve Henson]
1335
1336 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
1337 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
1338 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
1339 whose return value is often ignored.
1340 [Steve Henson]
1341
1342 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
1343 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
1344 validated when establishing a connection.

1347 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
1348
1349 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
1350
1351 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
1352 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
1353 AES-NI.
1354
1355 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
1356 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
1357 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
1358 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
1359 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
1360 bytes.
1361
1362 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
1363 (CVE-2016-2107)
1364 [Kurt Roeckx]
1365
1366 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
1367
1368 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
1369 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
1370 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
1371 corruption.
1372
1373 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
1374 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
1375 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
1376 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
1377 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
1378 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
1379
1380 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1381 (CVE-2016-2105)
1382 [Matt Caswell]
1383
1384 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
1385
1386 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
1387 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
1388 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
1389 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
1390 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
1391 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
1392 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
1393 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
1394 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
1395 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
1396 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
1397 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
1398 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
1399 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
1400 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
1401 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
1402
1403 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1404 (CVE-2016-2106)
1405 [Matt Caswell]
1406
1407 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
1408
1409 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
1410 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
1411 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
1412
1413 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
1414 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
1415 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
1416 applications are not affected.
1417
1418 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
1419 (CVE-2016-2109)
1420 [Stephen Henson]
1421
1422 *) EBCDIC overread
1423
1424 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
1425 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
1426 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
1427
1428 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1429 (CVE-2016-2176)
1430 [Matt Caswell]
1431
1432 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1433 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1434 [Todd Short]
1435
1436 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
1437 default.
1438 [Kurt Roeckx]
1439
1440 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
1441 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
1442 [Kurt Roeckx]
1443
1444 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
1445
1446 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
1447 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
1448 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
1449 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1450
1451 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
1452 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
1453 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
1454 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
1455 will need to explicitly call either of:
1456
1457 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1458 or
1459 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1460
1461 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
1462 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
1463 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
1464 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
1465 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
1466 (CVE-2016-0800)
1467 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1468
1469 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
1470
1471 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
1472 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
1473 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
1474 considered rare.
1475
1476 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
1477 libFuzzer.
1478 (CVE-2016-0705)
1479 [Stephen Henson]
1480
1481 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
1482
1483 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
1484
1485 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1486 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
1487 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
1488 is configured.
1489
1490 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1491 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1492 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1493 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1494 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1495 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1496 that of a valid user.
1497 (CVE-2016-0798)
1498 [Emilia Käsper]
1499
1500 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
1501
1502 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
1503 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
1504 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
1505 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
1506 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
1507 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
1508 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
1509 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
1510 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
1511 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
1512 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
1513
1514 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
1515 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
1516 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
1517 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
1518 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.

1521 (CVE-2016-0797)
1522 [Matt Caswell]
1523
1524 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
1525
1526 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
1527 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
1528 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
1529
1530 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
1531 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
1532 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
1533 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
1534 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
1535 also occur.
1536
1537 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
1538 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
1539 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
1540 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
1541 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
1542 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
1543 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
1544 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
1545 as command line arguments.
1546
1547 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
1548 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
1549 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.

1552 (CVE-2016-0799)
1553 [Matt Caswell]
1554
1555 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
1556
1557 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
1558 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
1559 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
1560 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
1561 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
1562
1563 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
1564 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
1565 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
1566 http://cachebleed.info.

1570 *) Change the req app to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
1571 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
1572 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
1573 apps to use 2048 bits by default.

1575
1576 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
1577 *) DH small subgroups
1578
1579 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
1580 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
1581 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
1582 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
1583 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
1584 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
1585 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
1586 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
1587 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
1588 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
1589
1590 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
1591 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
1592 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
1593 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
1594 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
1595
1596 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
1597 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
1598 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
1599 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
1600
1601 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
1602 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
1603
1604 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).

1606 [Matt Caswell]
1607
1608 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
1609
1610 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
1611 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
1612 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
1613 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

1621
1622 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1623
1624 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1625 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1626 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1627 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1628 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1629 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1630 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1631 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1632 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1633 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1634 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1635 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

1639 [Andy Polyakov]
1640
1641 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
1642
1643 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1644 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1645 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
1646 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
1647 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
1648 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
1649 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
1650 authentication.

1655
1656 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
1657
1658 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
1659 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
1660 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
1661 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
1662
1663 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
1664 libFuzzer.

1667
1668 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.

1679
1680 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
1681
1682 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
1683 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
1684 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
1685 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
1686 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
1687 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
1688
1689 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
1690 (Google/BoringSSL).

1701
1702 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
1703
1704 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
1705 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
1706 field.
1707
1708 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
1709 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
1710 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
1711 client authentication enabled.
1712
1713 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
1714 (CVE-2015-1788)
1715 [Andy Polyakov]
1716
1717 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
1718
1719 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
1720 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
1721 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
1722 time string.
1723
1724 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
1725 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
1726 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
1727 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
1728 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
1729 callbacks.

1735
1736 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
1737
1738 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
1739 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
1740 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1741
1742 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
1743 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
1744 servers are not affected.

1748 [Emilia Käsper]
1749
1750 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
1751
1752 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
1753 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
1754 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
1755 the CMS code.

1775 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
1776
1777 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
1778 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
1779 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
1780
1781 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
1782 University.
1783 (CVE-2015-0291)
1784 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
1785
1786 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
1787
1788 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
1789 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
1790 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
1791 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
1792 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
1793 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
1794 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
1795 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
1796
1797 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
1798 (CVE-2015-0290)
1799 [Matt Caswell]
1800
1801 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
1802
1803 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
1804 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
1805 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
1806 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
1807 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
1808 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
1809 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
1810 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
1811 server.

1813 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
1814 (CVE-2015-0207)
1815 [Matt Caswell]
1816
1817 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
1818
1819 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
1820 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
1821 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
1822 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1823 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1824 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
1825 (CVE-2015-0286)
1826 [Stephen Henson]
1827
1828 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
1829
1830 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1831 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1832 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
1833 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
1834 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1835 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1836 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
1837
1838 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
1839 (CVE-2015-0208)
1840 [Stephen Henson]
1841
1842 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
1843
1844 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
1845 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
1846 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
1847
1848 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
1849 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
1850 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
1851 not affected.
1852 (CVE-2015-0287)
1853 [Stephen Henson]
1854
1855 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
1856
1857 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
1858 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
1859 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1860
1861 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
1862 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
1863 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
1864
1865 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).

1867 [Emilia Käsper]
1868
1869 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
1870
1871 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
1872 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
1873 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
1874
1875 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
1876 (OpenSSL development team).
1877 (CVE-2015-0293)
1878 [Emilia Käsper]
1879
1880 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
1881
1882 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
1883 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
1884 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
1885 (CVE-2015-1787)
1886 [Matt Caswell]
1887
1888 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
1889
1890 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
1891 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
1892 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
1893 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
1894 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
1895 SSL_client_methodv23)
1896 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
1897 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
1898
1899 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
1900 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
1901 output may be predictable.
1902
1903 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
1904 succeed on an unpatched platform:
1905
1906 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA

1910 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
1911
1912 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
1913 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
1914 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
1915 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
1916 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
1917 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
1918

1938 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
1939 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
1940 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
1941 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
1942 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
1943 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.

1958
1959 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
1960 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most

1989 for TLS encrypt.
1990
1991 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
1992 [Andy Polyakov]
1993
1994 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
1995 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
1996 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
1997 [Steve Henson]

2007 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2008 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2009 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2010 algorithms and include tests cases.
2011 [Steve Henson]
2012
2013 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
2014 structure.
2015 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
2016
2017 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
2018 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
2019 [Steve Henson]
2020
2021 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
2022 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
2023 summary of the connection parameters.
2024 [Steve Henson]
2025
2026 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
2027 of connection parameters.
2028 [Steve Henson]
2029
2030 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
2031 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
2032
2033 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
2034 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
2035 [Steve Henson]
2036
2037 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
2038 [Steve Henson]
2039
2040 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
2041 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
2042 [Steve Henson]
2043
2044 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
2045 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
2046 [Steve Henson]
2047
2048 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
2049 certificates.
2050 [Steve Henson]
2051
2052 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
2053 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
2054 CRLs using the OCSP API.
2055 [Steve Henson]
2056
2057 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
2058 [Steve Henson]
2059
2060 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
2061 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
2062 [Steve Henson]
2063
2064 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
2065 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
2066 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
2067 tracing.
2068 [Steve Henson]
2069
2070 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
2071 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
2072 [Steve Henson]
2073
2074 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
2075 OID NID.
2076 [Steve Henson]
2077
2078 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
2079 client to OpenSSL.
2080 [Steve Henson]
2081
2082 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
2083 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
2084 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
2085 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
2086 [Steve Henson]
2087
2088 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
2089 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
2090 [Steve Henson]
2091
2092 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
2093 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
2094 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
2095 comparison.
2096 [Steve Henson]
2097
2098 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
2099 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
2100 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
2101 use the certificate.
2102 [Steve Henson]
2103
2104 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
2105 [Steve Henson]
2106
2107 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
2108 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
2109 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
2110 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
2111 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
2112 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
2113 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
2114
2115 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
2116 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
2117
2118 [Steve Henson]
2119
2120 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
2121 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
2122 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
2123 [Steve Henson]
2124
2125 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
2126 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
2127 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
2128 supported signature algorithms.
2129 [Steve Henson]
2130
2131 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
2132 [Steve Henson]
2133
2134 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
2135 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
2136 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
2137 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
2138 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
2139 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
2140 certificate and specify the whole chain.
2141 [Steve Henson]
2142
2143 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
2144 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
2145 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
2146 to have similar checks in it.
2147
2148 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
2149 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
2150 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
2151 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
2152 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
2153 [Steve Henson]
2154
2155 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
2156 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
2157 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
2158 shared signature algorithms.
2159 [Steve Henson]
2160
2161 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
2162 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
2163 to support them.
2164 [Steve Henson]
2165
2166 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
2167 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
2168 it couldn't be removed.
2169 [Steve Henson]
2170
2171 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
2172 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
2173 [Steve Henson]
2174
2175 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
2176 functions. Add manual page.
2177 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
2178
2179 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
2180 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
2181 a certificate.
2182 [Steve Henson]
2183
2184 *) Fix OCSP checking.
2185 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
2186
2187 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
2188 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
2189 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
2190 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
2191 utility) or reject.
2192 [Steve Henson]
2193
2194 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
2195 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
2196 [Steve Henson]
2197
2198 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
2199 platform support for Linux and Android.
2200 [Andy Polyakov]
2201
2202 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
2203 [Andy Polyakov]
2204
2205 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2206 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
2207 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
2208 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
2209 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
2210 [Steve Henson]
2211
2212 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
2213 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
2214 the new parameter format automatically.
2215 [Steve Henson]
2216
2217 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
2218 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
2219 [Steve Henson]
2220
2221 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
2222 [Steve Henson]
2223
2224 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
2225 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
2226 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
2227 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
2228 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
2229 [Steve Henson]
2230
2231 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
2232 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
2233 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
2234 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
2235 to set list of supported curves.
2236 [Steve Henson]
2237
2238 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
2239 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
2240 to print out received values.
2241 [Steve Henson]
2242
2243 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
2244 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
2245 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
2246 [Steve Henson]
2247
2248 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
2249 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
2250 [Steve Henson]
2251
2252 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
2253 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
2254 [Steve Henson]
2255
2256 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
2257 certificates.
2258 [Steve Henson]
2259
2260 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
2261 the certificate.
2262 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
2263 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
2264 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
2265
2266 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
2267
2268 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
2269 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
2270
2271 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
2272
2273 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
2274 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
2275 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
2276 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
2277 (CVE-2014-3571)
2278 [Steve Henson]
2279
2280 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
2281 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
2282 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
2283 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
2284 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
2285 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
2286 (CVE-2015-0206)
2287 [Matt Caswell]
2288
2289 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
2290 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
2291 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
2292 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
2293 (CVE-2014-3569)
2294 [Kurt Roeckx]
2295
2296 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
2297 ECDH ciphersuites.
2298
2299 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
2300 reporting this issue.
2301 (CVE-2014-3572)
2302 [Steve Henson]
2303
2304 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
2305 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
2306 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
2307 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
2308 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
2309 INRIA or reporting this issue.
2310 (CVE-2015-0204)
2311 [Steve Henson]
2312
2313 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
2314 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
2315 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
2316 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
2317 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
2318 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
2319 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
2320 this issue.
2321 (CVE-2015-0205)
2322 [Steve Henson]
2323
2324 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
2325 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
2326
2327 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
2328 and can vary with the CTX.
2329 [Adam Langley]
2330
2331 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
2332
2333 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
2334 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
2335 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
2336 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
2337 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
2338
2339 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
2340
2341 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
2342 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
2343
2344 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
2345
2346 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
2347 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
2348 errors for some broken certificates.
2349
2350 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
2351
2352 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
2353
2354 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
2355 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
2356
2357 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
2358 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
2359 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
2360 (negative or with leading zeroes).
2361
2362 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
2363 of the OpenSSL core team.
2364
2365 (CVE-2014-8275)
2366 [Steve Henson]
2367
2368 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
2369 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
2370 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
2371 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
2372 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
2373 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
2374 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
2375 the OpenSSL core team.
2376 (CVE-2014-3570)
2377 [Andy Polyakov]
2378
2379 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
2380 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
2381 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
2382 sanity and breaks all known clients.
2383 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
2384
2385 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
2386 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
2387 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
2388 [Emilia Käsper]
2389
2390 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
2391 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
2392 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2393 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
2394 announced in the initial ServerHello.
2395
2396 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
2397 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2398 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
2399 [Emilia Käsper]
2400
2401 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
2402
2403 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
2404
2405 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
2406 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
2407 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
2408 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
2409 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
2410 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
2411 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
2412
2413 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
2414 (CVE-2014-3513)
2415 [OpenSSL team]
2416
2417 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
2418
2419 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
2420 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
2421 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
2422 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
2423 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
2424 attack.
2425 (CVE-2014-3567)
2426 [Steve Henson]
2427
2428 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
2429
2430 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
2431 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
2432 configured to send them.
2433 (CVE-2014-3568)
2434 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
2435
2436 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
2437 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
2438 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
2439 (CVE-2014-3566)
2440 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2441
2442 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
2443
2444 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
2445 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
2446 DigestInfo structures.
2447
2448 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
2449
2450 [Steve Henson]
2451
2452 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
2453
2454 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
2455 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
2456 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
2457
2458 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
2459 Group for discovering this issue.
2460 (CVE-2014-3512)
2461 [Steve Henson]
2462
2463 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
2464 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
2465 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
2466 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
2467 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
2468
2469 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
2470 researching this issue.
2471 (CVE-2014-3511)
2472 [David Benjamin]
2473
2474 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
2475 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
2476 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
2477 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
2478
2479 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
2480 issue.
2481 (CVE-2014-3510)
2482 [Emilia Käsper]
2483
2484 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
2485 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2486 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2487 (CVE-2014-3507)
2488 [Adam Langley]
2489
2490 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
2491 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
2492 Denial of Service attack.
2493 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2494 (CVE-2014-3506)
2495 [Adam Langley]
2496
2497 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
2498 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
2499 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2500 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
2501 this issue.
2502 (CVE-2014-3505)
2503 [Adam Langley]
2504
2505 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
2506 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
2507 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
2508
2509 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
2510 issue.
2511 (CVE-2014-3509)
2512 [Gabor Tyukasz]
2513
2514 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
2515 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
2516 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
2517 Denial of Service attack.
2518
2519 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
2520 discovering and researching this issue.
2521 (CVE-2014-5139)
2522 [Steve Henson]
2523
2524 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
2525 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
2526 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
2527 output to the attacker.
2528
2529 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
2530 (CVE-2014-3508)
2531 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
2532
2533 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2534 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2535 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2536 [Bodo Moeller]
2537
2538 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
2539
2540 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
2541 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
2542 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
2543
2544 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
2545 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
2546 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
2547
2548 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
2549 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
2550 in a DoS attack.
2551
2552 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
2553 (CVE-2014-0221)
2554 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
2555
2556 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
2557 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
2558 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
2559 code on a vulnerable client or server.
2560
2561 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
2562 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
2563
2564 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
2565 are subject to a denial of service attack.
2566
2567 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
2568 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
2569 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
2570
2571 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2572 compilation flags.
2573 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2574
2575 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2576 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
2577 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2578
2579 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2580 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2581
2582 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
2583
2584 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2585 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2586 server.
2587
2588 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2589 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
2590 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2591 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2592
2593 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2594 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2595 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2596 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2597
2598 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2599 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2600 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2601
2602 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
2603
2604 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
2605 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
2606 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
2607 is at least 512 bytes long.
2608
2609 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
2610
2611 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
2612
2613 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
2614 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
2615 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
2616 (CVE-2013-4353)
2617
2618 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
2619 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
2620 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
2621 [Steve Henson]
2622
2623 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
2624 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
2625 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
2626 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
2627 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
2628 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
2629 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
2630
2631 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
2632
2633 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
2634 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
2635 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2636
2637 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
2638
2639 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
2640
2641 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
2642 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
2643 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
2644
2645 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2646 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2647 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
2648 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
2649 (CVE-2013-0169)
2650 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2651
2652 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
2653 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
2654 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
2655 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
2656 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
2657 (CVE-2012-2686)
2658 [Adam Langley]
2659
2660 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2661 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2662 [Steve Henson]
2663
2664 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2665 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2666
2667 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
2668 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
2669 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
2670 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
2671 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
2672
2673 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
2674 [Steve Henson]
2675
2676 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
2677 if renegotiating.
2678 [Steve Henson]
2679
2680 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
2681
2682 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
2683 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
2684
2685 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
2686 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
2687 (CVE-2012-2333)
2688 [Steve Henson]
2689
2690 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
2691 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
2692 [Steve Henson]
2693
2694 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
2695 approved.
2696 [Steve Henson]
2697
2698 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
2699
2700 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
2701 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
2702 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
2703 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
2704 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
2705 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
2706 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
2707 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
2708 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
2709 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
2710 [Steve Henson]
2711
2712 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
2713 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
2714 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
2715 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
2716 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
2717 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
2718 client side.
2719 [Andy Polyakov]
2720
2721 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
2722
2723 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
2724 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
2725 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
2726
2727 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
2728 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
2729 (CVE-2012-2110)
2730 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
2731
2732 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
2733 [Adam Langley]
2734
2735 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
2736 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
2737
2738 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
2739 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
2740 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
2741 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
2742 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
2743 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
2744 Most broken servers should now work.
2745 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
2746 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
2747 [Steve Henson]
2748
2749 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
2750 [Andy Polyakov]
2751
2752 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
2753
2754 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
2755 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
2756 [Steve Henson]
2757
2758 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
2759 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
2760 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
2761 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
2762 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
2763 [Steve Henson]
2764
2765 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
2766 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
2767 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
2768 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
2769 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
2770 [Steve Henson]
2771
2772 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
2773 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2774
2775 *) Add support for SCTP.
2776 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2777
2778 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2779 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2780
2781 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
2782
2783 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
2784 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
2785 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
2786 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
2787 - s390x: z196 support;
2788 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
2789
2790 [Andy Polyakov]
2791
2792 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
2793 (removal of unnecessary code)
2794 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
2795
2796 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
2797 [Eric Rescorla]
2798
2799 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
2800 [Eric Rescorla]
2801
2802 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
2803 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
2804 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
2805 by Google.
2806 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2807
2808 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
2809 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
2810 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
2811 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
2812 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
2813
2814 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
2815 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
2816 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
2817
2818 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
2819 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
2820 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
2821
2822 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
2823 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
2824 implementations).
2825 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2826
2827 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
2828 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
2829 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
2830 [Steve Henson]
2831
2832 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
2833 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
2834 particular PSS.
2835 [Steve Henson]
2836
2837 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
2838 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
2839 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
2840 [Steve Henson]
2841
2842 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
2843 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
2844 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
2845 the appropriate parameters.
2846 [Steve Henson]
2847
2848 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
2849 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
2850 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
2851 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
2852 against a number of sample certificates.
2853 [Steve Henson]
2854
2855 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
2856 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
2857
2858 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
2859 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
2860
2861 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
2862 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
2863 parameters r, s.
2864 [Steve Henson]
2865
2866 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
2867 RFC3211.
2868 [Steve Henson]
2869
2870 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
2871 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
2872 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
2873 password based CMS).
2874 [Steve Henson]
2875
2876 *) Session-handling fixes:
2877 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
2878 but also support Session Tickets.
2879 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
2880 presented a ticket with an expired session.
2881 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
2882 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
2883 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
2884 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2885
2886 *) Fix PSK session representation.
2887 [Bodo Moeller]
2888
2889 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
2890
2891 This work was sponsored by Intel.
2892 [Andy Polyakov]
2893
2894 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
2895 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
2896 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
2897 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
2898 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
2899 [Steve Henson]
2900
2901 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
2902 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
2903 [Steve Henson]
2904
2905 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
2906 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
2907 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
2908 [Steve Henson]
2909
2910 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
2911 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
2912 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
2913 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
2914 [Steve Henson]
2915
2916 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
2917 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
2918 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
2919 [Steve Henson]
2920
2921 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
2922 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
2923
2924 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
2925 [Steve Henson]
2926
2927 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
2928 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
2929 [Steve Henson]
2930
2931 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2932 [Steve Henson]
2933
2934 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
2935 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
2936 [Steve Henson]
2937
2938 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
2939 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
2940 [Steve Henson]
2941
2942 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
2943 [Steve Henson]
2944
2945 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
2946 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
2947 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
2948 [Steve Henson]
2949
2950 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2951 [Steve Henson]
2952
2953 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2954 [Steve Henson]
2955
2956 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
2957 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
2958 [Steve Henson]
2959
2960 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
2961 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
2962 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
2963 [Steve Henson]
2964
2965 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
2966 [Steve Henson]
2967
2968 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
2969 and enable MD5.
2970 [Steve Henson]
2971
2972 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
2973 FIPS modules versions.
2974 [Steve Henson]
2975
2976 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
2977 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
2978 until after the certificate request message is received.
2979 [Steve Henson]
2980
2981 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
2982 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
2983 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
2984 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
2985 [Steve Henson]
2986
2987 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
2988 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
2989 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
2990 support yet and no support for client certificates.
2991 [Steve Henson]
2992
2993 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
2994 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
2995 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
2996 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
2997 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
2998 and version checking.
2999 [Steve Henson]
3000
3001 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
3002 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
3003 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
3004 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
3005 [Steve Henson]
3006
3007 *) Add SRP support.
3008 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
3009
3010 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
3011 [Steve Henson]
3012
3013 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
3014 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
3015 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3016
3017 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
3018 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
3019 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
3020 [Steve Henson]
3021
3022 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
3023 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
3024
3025 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
3026 a few changes are required:
3027
3028 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
3029 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
3030 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
3031 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
3032 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
3033 [Steve Henson]
3034
3035 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
3036
3037 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
3038 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
3039 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
3040 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
3041 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
3042 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
3043 an MMA defence is not necessary.
3044 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
3045 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
3046 [Steve Henson]
3047
3048 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
3049 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
3050 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
3051 [Steve Henson]
3052
3053 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
3054
3055 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
3056 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
3057 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
3058 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
3059 [Antonio Martin]
3060
3061 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
3062
3063 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
3064 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
3065 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
3066 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
3067 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
3068 paper describing this attack can be found at:
3069 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
3070 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3071 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3072 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
3073 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
3074 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
3075 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
3076
3077 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
3078 (CVE-2011-4576)
3079 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3080
3081 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
3082 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
3083 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
3084 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3085
3086 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
3087 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
3088
3089 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
3090 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
3091 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
3092 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3093
3094 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3095 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3096
3097 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
3098 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3099
3100 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
3101 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3102
3103 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
3104 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
3105 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3106
3107 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
3108 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
3109 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
3110
3111 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
3112 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
3113 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
3114 the last update always remained unused).
3115 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3116
3117 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
3118 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
3119
3120 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
3121
3122 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
3123 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
3124 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
3125
3126 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
3127 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
3128 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3129
3130 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
3131 [Bodo Moeller]
3132
3133 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
3134 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
3135 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
3136 [Steve Henson]
3137
3138 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
3139 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
3140
3141 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
3142
3143 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
3144
3145 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
3146
3147 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
3148 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3149
3150 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
3151 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
3152 ambiguous.
3153 [Steve Henson]
3154
3155 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
3156
3157 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
3158 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
3159 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
3160 [Steve Henson]
3161
3162 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
3163 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
3164 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
3165 [Ben Laurie]
3166
3167 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
3168
3169 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
3170 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
3171 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
3172 [Steve Henson]
3173
3174 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
3175 a DLL.
3176 [Steve Henson]
3177
3178 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
3179
3180 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
3181 (CVE-2010-1633)
3182 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
3183
3184 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
3185
3186 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
3187 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
3188 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
3189 [Steve Henson]
3190
3191 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
3192 [Steve Henson]
3193
3194 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
3195 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
3196 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
3197
3198 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
3199 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
3200 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
3201 [Steve Henson]
3202
3203 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
3204 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
3205 [Steve Henson]
3206
3207 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
3208 some responders need this.
3209 [Steve Henson]
3210
3211 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
3212 correctly.
3213 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3214
3215 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
3216 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
3217 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
3218 [Steve Henson]
3219
3220 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
3221 [Steve Henson]
3222
3223 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
3224 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
3225 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
3226 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
3227 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
3228 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
3229 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
3230 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
3231 [Steve Henson]
3232
3233 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
3234 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
3235 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
3236 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3237
3238 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
3239 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
3240
3241 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
3242 be used on C++.
3243 [Steve Henson]
3244
3245 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
3246 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
3247 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
3248 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
3249 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
3250 attempting to work them out.
3251 [Steve Henson]
3252
3253 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
3254 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
3255 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
3256 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
3257 [Steve Henson]
3258
3259 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
3260 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
3261 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
3262 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
3263 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
3264 [Steve Henson]
3265
3266 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
3267 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
3268 you can do:
3269
3270 openssl sha256 foo
3271
3272 as well as:
3273
3274 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
3275
3276 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
3277
3278 [Steve Henson]
3279
3280 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
3281 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3282
3283 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
3284 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
3285
3286 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
3287 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
3288 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
3289 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
3290 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
3291 [Steve Henson]
3292
3293 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
3294 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
3295 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
3296 [Steve Henson]
3297
3298 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
3299 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
3300 [Steve Henson]
3301
3302 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
3303 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
3304
3305 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
3306 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
3307 [Steve Henson]
3308
3309 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
3310 [Ben Laurie]
3311
3312 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
3313 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
3314 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
3315 CONF_VALUE.
3316 [Ben Laurie]
3317
3318 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
3319 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
3320 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
3321 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
3322 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
3323 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
3324 [Steve Henson]
3325
3326 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
3327 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
3328
3329 This work was sponsored by Google.
3330 [Steve Henson]
3331
3332 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
3333 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
3334 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
3335 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
3336 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
3337 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
3338 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
3339 default.
3340
3341 This work was sponsored by Google.
3342 [Steve Henson]
3343
3344 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
3345
3346 This work was sponsored by Google.
3347 [Steve Henson]
3348
3349 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
3350 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
3351 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
3352 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
3353
3354 This work was sponsored by Google.
3355 [Steve Henson]
3356
3357 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
3358 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
3359 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
3360 CRL functionality in future.
3361
3362 This work was sponsored by Google.
3363 [Steve Henson]
3364
3365 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
3366
3367 This work was sponsored by Google.
3368 [Steve Henson]
3369
3370 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
3371 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
3372
3373 This work was sponsored by Google.
3374 [Steve Henson]
3375
3376 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
3377 and URI types are currently supported.
3378
3379 This work was sponsored by Google.
3380 [Steve Henson]
3381
3382 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
3383 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
3384 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
3385 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
3386 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
3387 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
3388 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
3389 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
3390
3391 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
3392 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
3393 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
3394
3395 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
3396 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
3397 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
3398 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
3399
3400 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
3401 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
3402 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
3403 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
3404 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
3405 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
3406 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
3407 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
3408 of &errno.)
3409 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
3410
3411 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
3412 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
3413 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
3414
3415 This work was sponsored by Google.
3416 [Steve Henson]
3417
3418 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
3419 [Ben Laurie]
3420
3421 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3422 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
3423 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
3424 [Ben Laurie]
3425
3426 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
3427 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
3428 [Nick Mathewson]
3429
3430 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3431 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
3432 [Ben Laurie]
3433
3434 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
3435 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
3436 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
3437 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
3438 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
3439 content types and variants.
3440 [Steve Henson]
3441
3442 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
3443 [Steve Henson]
3444
3445 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
3446 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
3447 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
3448 files from the associated perl scripts.
3449 [Steve Henson]
3450
3451 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
3452 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
3453 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3454
3455 *) s390x assembler pack.
3456 [Andy Polyakov]
3457
3458 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
3459 "family."
3460 [Andy Polyakov]
3461
3462 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
3463 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
3464 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
3465 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
3466 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
3467 to use. For example, specify an option
3468
3469 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
3470
3471 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
3472 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
3473 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
3474 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
3475 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
3476 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
3477
3478 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
3479 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
3480 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
3481 return non-zero for success.
3482
3483 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
3484 by using
3485
3486 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
3487 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3488
3489 where
3490
3491 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
3492 void *arg;
3493
3494 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
3495 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
3496 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
3497 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
3498 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
3499 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
3500 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
3501 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
3502 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
3503
3504 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
3505 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
3506 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
3507 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
3508 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
3509 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
3510
3511 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
3512 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
3513 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
3514 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
3515 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
3516 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
3517
3518 [Bodo Moeller]
3519
3520 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
3521 MAC.
3522
3523 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3524
3525 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3526 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3527 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3528 supported.
3529
3530 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3531 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3532 SSL_SESSION.
3533
3534 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3535 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3536 with no application modification.
3537
3538 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3539 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3540
3541 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3542 or server extensions to be examined.
3543
3544 This work was sponsored by Google.
3545 [Steve Henson]
3546
3547 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
3548 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
3549 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
3550
3551 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
3552 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
3553 ciphersuite support.
3554 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
3555
3556 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
3557 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
3558 to output in BER and PEM format.
3559 [Steve Henson]
3560
3561 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
3562 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
3563 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
3564 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
3565 -macopt options to dgst utility.
3566 [Steve Henson]
3567
3568 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
3569 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
3570 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
3571 utility.
3572 [Steve Henson]
3573
3574 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
3575 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
3576 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
3577 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
3578 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
3579 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
3580 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
3581 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
3582 enabled again.
3583
3584 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
3585 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
3586 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
3587 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
3588
3589 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
3590 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
3591 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
3592 the default order.
3593 [Bodo Moeller]
3594
3595 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
3596 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
3597 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
3598 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
3599 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
3600 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
3601 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
3602 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
3603 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
3604
3605 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
3606 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
3607 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
3608 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
3609 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
3610 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
3611 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
3612 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
3613 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
3614 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
3615 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
3616 kinds of kludges.
3617
3618 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
3619 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
3620 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
3621
3622 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
3623 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
3624 "CAMELLIA256".
3625 [Bodo Moeller]
3626
3627 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
3628 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
3629 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
3630 [Nils Larsch]
3631
3632 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
3633 it yet and it is largely untested.
3634 [Steve Henson]
3635
3636 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
3637 [Nils Larsch]
3638
3639 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
3640 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
3641 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
3642 [Steve Henson]
3643
3644 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
3645 [Andy Polyakov]
3646
3647 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
3648 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
3649 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
3650 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
3651 [Steve Henson]
3652
3653 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
3654 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
3655 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
3656 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
3657 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
3658 [Steve Henson]
3659
3660 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
3661 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
3662 [Cryptocom]
3663
3664 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
3665 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
3666 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
3667 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
3668 [Steve Henson]
3669
3670 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
3671 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
3672 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
3673 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
3674 [Steve Henson]
3675
3676 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
3677 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
3678 [Steve Henson]
3679
3680 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
3681 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
3682 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
3683 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
3684 [Steve Henson]
3685
3686 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
3687 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
3688 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
3689 [Steve Henson]
3690
3691 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
3692 utility.
3693 [Steve Henson]
3694
3695 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
3696 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
3697 [Steve Henson]
3698
3699 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
3700 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
3701 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
3702 if necessary.
3703 [Steve Henson]
3704
3705 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
3706 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
3707 to free up any added signature OIDs.
3708 [Steve Henson]
3709
3710 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
3711 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
3712 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
3713 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
3714 [Steve Henson]
3715
3716 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
3717 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
3718 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
3719 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
3720 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
3721 the array representation useful in a more general context.
3722 [Douglas Stebila]
3723
3724 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
3725 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
3726 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
3727 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
3728 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
3729
3730 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
3731 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
3732 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
3733 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
3734 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
3735 protocol).
3736
3737 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
3738 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
3739 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
3740 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
3741
3742 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
3743 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
3744 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
3745 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
3746 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
3747
3748 aECDH - ECDH cert
3749 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
3750 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
3751
3752 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
3753 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
3754
3755 [Bodo Moeller]
3756
3757 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
3758 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
3759 [Steve Henson]
3760
3761 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
3762 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
3763 [Steve Henson]
3764
3765 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
3766 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
3767 functional reference processing.
3768 [Steve Henson]
3769
3770 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
3771 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
3772 process.
3773 [Steve Henson]
3774
3775 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
3776 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
3777 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
3778 [Steve Henson]
3779
3780 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
3781 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
3782 application to support multiple signers.
3783 [Steve Henson]
3784
3785 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
3786 digest MAC.
3787 [Steve Henson]
3788
3789 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
3790 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
3791 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
3792 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
3793 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
3794 [Steve Henson]
3795
3796 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
3797 new API.
3798 [Steve Henson]
3799
3800 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
3801 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
3802 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
3803 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
3804 a no op.
3805 [Steve Henson]
3806
3807 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
3808 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
3809 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
3810 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
3811 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
3812 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
3813 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
3814 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
3815 [Steve Henson]
3816
3817 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
3818 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
3819 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
3820 between digests and public key types.
3821 [Steve Henson]
3822
3823 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
3824 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
3825 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
3826 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
3827 [Steve Henson]
3828
3829 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
3830 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
3831 key ASN1 method.
3832 [Steve Henson]
3833
3834 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
3835 [Steve Henson]
3836
3837 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
3838 pkeyutl.
3839 [Steve Henson]
3840
3841 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
3842 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
3843 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
3844 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
3845 pkey, genpkey.
3846 [Steve Henson]
3847
3848 *) BeOS support.
3849 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3850
3851 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
3852 manual pages.
3853 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3854
3855 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
3856 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
3857 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
3858 functionality for RSA.
3859 [Steve Henson]
3860
3861 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
3862 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
3863 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
3864 [Steve Henson]
3865
3866 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
3867 key API, doesn't do much yet.
3868 [Steve Henson]
3869
3870 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
3871 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
3872 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
3873 [Steve Henson]
3874
3875 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
3876 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3877 [Douglas Stebila]
3878
3879 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
3880 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
3881 [Steve Henson]
3882
3883 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
3884 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
3885 type.
3886 [Steve Henson]
3887
3888 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
3889 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
3890 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
3891 structure.
3892 [Steve Henson]
3893
3894 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
3895 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
3896 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
3897 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
3898 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
3899 of public and private key structures.
3900 [Steve Henson]
3901
3902 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
3903 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3904 [Douglas Stebila]
3905
3906 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
3907 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
3908 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
3909
3910 New ciphersuites:
3911 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
3912 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
3913
3914 New functions:
3915 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
3916 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
3917 SSL_get_psk_identity
3918 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
3919
3920 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
3921
3922 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
3923 and response verification functionality.
3924 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
3925
3926 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3927 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3928 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3929 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3930 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3931 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3932 server_name extension.
3933
3934 New functions (subject to change):
3935
3936 SSL_get_servername()
3937 SSL_get_servername_type()
3938 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
3939
3940 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3941
3942 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3943 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3944 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3945 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3946 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3947
3948 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3949
3950 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3951 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3952 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3953 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3954 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
3955 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3956 option.
3957
3958 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
3959
3960 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
3961 [Andy Polyakov]
3962
3963 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
3964 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
3965 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
3966 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
3967 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
3968 [Andy Polyakov]
3969
3970 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
3971 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
3972 macro.
3973 [Bodo Moeller]
3974
3975 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
3976 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
3977 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
3978 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
3979 [Andy Polyakov]
3980
3981 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
3982 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
3983 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
3984 using the maximum available value.
3985 [Steve Henson]
3986
3987 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
3988 in addition to the text details.
3989 [Bodo Moeller]
3990
3991 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
3992 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
3993 handle several customised structures at all.
3994 [Steve Henson]
3995
3996 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
3997 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
3998 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
3999 [Steve Henson]
4000
4001 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
4002 [Steve Henson]
4003
4004 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
4005 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
4006 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
4007 [Steve Henson]
4008
4009 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
4010 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
4011 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
4012 [Nils Larsch]
4013
4014 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
4015 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
4016 all fields.
4017 [Steve Henson]
4018
4019 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
4020 [Steve Henson]
4021
4022 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
4023 [NTT]
4024
4025 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
4026
4027 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
4028 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
4029 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
4030 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
4031 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
4032 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
4033 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
4034 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
4035
4036 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
4037 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
4038 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
4039
4040 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
4041
4042 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
4043 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
4044
4045 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
4046 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
4047 [Bodo Moeller]
4048
4049 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
4050 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
4051 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
4052 [Steve Henson]
4053
4054 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
4055 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
4056 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
4057 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
4058 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
4059 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
4060 [Steve Henson]
4061
4062 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
4063 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
4064 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
4065 [Steve Henson]
4066
4067 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
4068 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
4069 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
4070 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
4071 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
4072 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
4073 CVE-2009-4355.
4074 [Steve Henson]
4075
4076 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
4077 change when encrypting or decrypting.
4078 [Bodo Moeller]
4079
4080 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
4081 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
4082 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
4083 [Steve Henson]
4084
4085 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
4086 [Steve Henson]
4087
4088 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
4089 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
4090 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
4091 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
4092 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
4093 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
4094 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
4095 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
4096 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
4097 [Steve Henson]
4098
4099 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
4100 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
4101 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
4102 [Steve Henson]
4103
4104 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
4105 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
4106 [Steve Henson]
4107
4108 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
4109 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
4110 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
4111 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
4112 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
4113 know what you are doing.
4114 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
4115
4116 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
4117 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
4118 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
4119 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
4120 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
4121 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
4122 the handshake.
4123 [Steve Henson]
4124
4125 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
4126 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
4127 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
4128 correctly.
4129 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4130
4131 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
4132 warnings in other configurations.
4133 [Steve Henson]
4134
4135 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
4136 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
4137 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
4138 systems need.
4139 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
4140
4141 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
4142 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
4143 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
4144
4145 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
4146 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
4147 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
4148 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
4149 [Steve Henson]
4150
4151 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
4152 and restored.
4153 [Steve Henson]
4154
4155 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
4156 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
4157 clash.
4158 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4159
4160 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
4161 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
4162 other than a simple chain.
4163 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
4164
4165 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
4166 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
4167 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
4168 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
4169 [Steve Henson]
4170
4171 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
4172 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
4173 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
4174 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
4175 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
4176 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
4177 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
4178 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
4179 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4180
4181 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
4182 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
4183 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
4184 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
4185 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
4186 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
4187 (CVE-2009-1377)
4188 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4189
4190 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
4191 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
4192 [Daniel Mentz]
4193
4194 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
4195 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
4196
4197 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
4198 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
4199
4200 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
4201
4202 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
4203 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
4204 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
4205 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
4206 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
4207 you're doing.
4208 [Ben Laurie]
4209
4210 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
4211
4212 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
4213 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
4214 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
4215 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
4216
4217 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
4218 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
4219 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
4220 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4221
4222 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
4223 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
4224 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
4225 [Steve Henson]
4226
4227 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
4228 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
4229 level.
4230 [Steve Henson]
4231
4232 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
4233 to handle some structures.
4234 [Steve Henson]
4235
4236 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
4237 for a '\n'
4238 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
4239
4240 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
4241 [Matthieu Herrb]
4242
4243 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
4244 [Steve Henson]
4245
4246 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
4247 [Steve Henson]
4248
4249 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
4250 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
4251 chosen compiler.
4252 [Ben Laurie]
4253
4254 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
4255
4256 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
4257 (CVE-2008-5077).
4258 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
4259
4260 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
4261 [Ben Laurie]
4262
4263 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
4264 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
4265 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
4266 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
4267
4268 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
4269 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
4270
4271 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
4272 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
4273 [Bodo Moeller]
4274
4275 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
4276 s_client and s_server.
4277 [Ben Laurie]
4278
4279 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
4280 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4281
4282 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
4283 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
4284
4285 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
4286 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
4287 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
4288 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
4289 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
4290 [Bodo Moeller]
4291
4292 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
4293
4294 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
4295 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
4296 [PR #1679]
4297
4298 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
4299 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
4300 [Nagendra Modadugu]
4301
4302 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
4303 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
4304 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
4305 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
4306
4307 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
4308 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
4309
4310 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
4311
4312 *) Various precautionary measures:
4313
4314 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
4315
4316 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
4317 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
4318 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
4319
4320 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
4321 outside the expected range.
4322
4323 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
4324 builds.
4325
4326 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
4327
4328 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
4329 the load fails. Useful for distros.
4330 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
4331
4332 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
4333 [Steve Henson]
4334
4335 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
4336 [Huang Ying]
4337
4338 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
4339
4340 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4341 [Steve Henson]
4342
4343 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
4344 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
4345 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
4346
4347 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4348 [Steve Henson]
4349
4350 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
4351 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
4352 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
4353 files.
4354 [Steve Henson]
4355
4356 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
4357
4358 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
4359 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
4360 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
4361 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
4362
4363 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
4364 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
4365 [Joe Orton]
4366
4367 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
4368
4369 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
4370 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
4371 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
4372
4373 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
4374
4375 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
4376 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
4377 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
4378 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
4379 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4380
4381 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
4382 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
4383 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
4384 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
4385 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
4386 invalid read after the end of 'db').
4387 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4388
4389 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
4390
4391 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
4392 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
4393 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
4394 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
4395 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
4396
4397 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
4398 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
4399
4400 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
4401 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
4402 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
4403 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
4404 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
4405
4406 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
4407
4408 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
4409 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
4410 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
4411 sets may exist with different names.
4412 [Steve Henson]
4413
4414 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
4415 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
4416 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
4417 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
4418 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
4419 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
4420 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
4421 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
4422 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
4423 implementation.
4424 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
4425
4426 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
4427 implementation in the following ways:
4428
4429 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
4430 hard coded.
4431
4432 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
4433 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
4434 ignored for embedded content.
4435
4436 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
4437 with the enable-cms configuration option.
4438 [Steve Henson]
4439
4440 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
4441 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
4442 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
4443 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
4444
4445 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
4446 uncompresses any data passed through it.
4447 [Steve Henson]
4448
4449 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
4450 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
4451 [Steve Henson]
4452
4453 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
4454 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
4455 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
4456 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
4457 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
4458 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
4459 data.
4460 [Steve Henson]
4461
4462 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
4463 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
4464 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4465
4466 *) Netware support:
4467
4468 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
4469 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
4470 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
4471 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
4472 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
4473 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
4474 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
4475 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
4476 platform
4477 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
4478 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
4479 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
4480 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
4481 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
4482 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
4483 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
4484
4485 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
4486 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
4487 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
4488 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
4489 to s_client and s_server.
4490 [Steve Henson]
4491
4492 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
4493
4494 *) Fix various bugs:
4495 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
4496 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
4497 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
4498 + Fix ia64 assembler code
4499 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
4500
4501 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
4502
4503 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
4504 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
4505 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
4506 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
4507 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
4508 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
4509 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
4510 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
4511 [Andy Polyakov]
4512
4513 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
4514 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
4515 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
4516 Steve Henson]
4517
4518 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4519 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4520 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4521 supported.
4522
4523 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4524 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4525 SSL_SESSION.
4526
4527 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4528 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4529 with no application modification.
4530
4531 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4532 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4533
4534 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4535 or server extensions to be examined.
4536
4537 This work was sponsored by Google.
4538 [Steve Henson]
4539
4540 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4541 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4542 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4543 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4544 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4545 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4546 server_name extension.
4547
4548 New functions (subject to change):
4549
4550 SSL_get_servername()
4551 SSL_get_servername_type()
4552 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4553
4554 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4555
4556 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4557 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4558 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4559 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4560 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4561
4562 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4563
4564 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4565 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4566 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4567 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4568 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4569 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4570 option.
4571
4572 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
4573
4574 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
4575 [Steve Henson]
4576
4577 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
4578 [Andy Polyakov]
4579
4580 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
4581 (which previously caused an internal error).
4582 [Bodo Moeller]
4583
4584 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
4585 [Ben Laurie]
4586
4587 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
4588 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
4589
4590 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
4591 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
4592 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
4593
4594 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
4595 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
4596 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
4597 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
4598
4599 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4600 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4601 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
4602 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
4603
4604 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
4605 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
4606 information. For detailed background information, see
4607 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
4608 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
4609 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
4610 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
4611 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
4612 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
4613 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
4614 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
4615 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
4616 remove a conditional branch.
4617
4618 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
4619 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
4620 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
4621 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
4622 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
4623 remains as a deprecated alias.
4624
4625 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
4626 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
4627 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
4628 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
4629
4630 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
4631 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
4632 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
4633 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
4634 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
4635 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
4636 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
4637 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
4638
4639 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
4640
4641 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
4642 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
4643 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
4644 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
4645 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
4646 with applications using a single external cache for quite
4647 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
4648 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
4649 in a different context.
4650 [Bodo Moeller]
4651
4652 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4653 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4654 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4655 [Bodo Moeller]
4656
4657 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
4658 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
4659 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
4660
4661 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
4662
4663 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
4664 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
4665 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4666 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
4667 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
4668 [Victor Duchovni]
4669
4670 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
4671 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
4672 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
4673 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
4674 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
4675 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
4676 [Bodo Moeller]
4677
4678 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4679 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4680 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4681 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4682 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4683 [Bodo Moeller]
4684
4685 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
4686 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
4687
4688 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4689 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4690 Improve header file function name parsing.
4691 [Steve Henson]
4692
4693 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
4694 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
4695 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
4696
4697 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
4698
4699 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4700 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4701 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4702
4703 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4704 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4705
4706 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4707 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4708
4709 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4710 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4711 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4712
4713 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
4714 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
4715 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
4716 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
4717 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
4718 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
4719 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
4720 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
4721 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
4722
4723 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
4724 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
4725 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
4726 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
4727 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
4728
4729 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
4730 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
4731 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
4732 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
4733 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
4734 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
4735 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
4736 multiple values to extend the available space.
4737
4738 [Bodo Moeller]
4739
4740 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
4741
4742 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4743 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4744
4745 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
4746 [Ben Laurie]
4747
4748 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4749 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4750 undesirable limitations.
4751 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4752
4753 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
4754 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
4755 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
4756 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
4757 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
4758 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
4759 to avoid potential handshake problems.
4760 [Bodo Moeller]
4761
4762 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4763
4764 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4765 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4766 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4767
4768 The latter two were purportedly from
4769 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4770 appear there.
4771
4772 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
4773 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4774 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4775 [Bodo Moeller]
4776
4777 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
4778 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4779 [Bodo Moeller]
4780
4781 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
4782 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
4783 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
4784 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
4785
4786 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4787 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4788 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
4789 [NTT]
4790
4791 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
4792 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
4793 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
4794 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
4795 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
4796 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
4797 [Steve Henson]
4798
4799 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
4800
4801 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
4802 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
4803 [Steve Henson]
4804
4805 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
4806 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
4807
4808 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4809 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
4810 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
4811 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
4812 [Douglas Stebila]
4813
4814 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
4815 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
4816 [Steve Henson]
4817
4818 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
4819 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
4820 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
4821 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
4822 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
4823 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
4824 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
4825 can't be loaded.
4826 [Steve Henson]
4827
4828 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
4829 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
4830 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
4831 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
4832 [Steve Henson]
4833
4834 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
4835 under VC++ build system.
4836 [Steve Henson]
4837
4838 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
4839 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
4840 [Richard Levitte]
4841
4842 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
4843
4844 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4845 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4846 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4847 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4848 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4849
4850 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4851 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4852 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4853
4854 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
4855 [Steve Henson]
4856
4857 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
4858 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4859 [Nils Larsch]
4860
4861 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
4862 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
4863
4864 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
4865 [Nick Mathewson]
4866
4867 *) Extended Windows CE support.
4868 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
4869
4870 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
4871 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4872 [Steve Henson]
4873
4874 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
4875 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
4876 smime utility.
4877 [Steve Henson]
4878
4879 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
4880
4881 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4882 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
4883
4884 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
4885 [Richard Levitte]
4886
4887 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
4888 key into the same file any more.
4889 [Richard Levitte]
4890
4891 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
4892 [Andy Polyakov]
4893
4894 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
4895 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
4896
4897 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
4898 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
4899 [Richard Levitte]
4900
4901 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
4902 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
4903 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
4904 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
4905 this only applies when building 'shared'.
4906 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
4907
4908 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
4909 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
4910 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
4911 [Steve Henson]
4912
4913 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
4914 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
4915 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
4916 - add new function for parameter creation
4917 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
4918 BN_BLINDING parameters
4919 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
4920 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
4921 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
4922 threads.
4923 [Nils Larsch]
4924
4925 *) Add support for DTLS.
4926 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
4927
4928 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
4929 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
4930 [Walter Goulet]
4931
4932 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
4933 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
4934 [Nils Larsch]
4935
4936 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
4937 the apps/openssl applications.
4938 [Nils Larsch]
4939
4940 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
4941 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
4942 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
4943 [Ben Laurie]
4944
4945 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
4946 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
4947
4948 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
4949 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
4950
4951 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
4952 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
4953 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
4954 avoid this algorithm.)
4955
4956 [Bodo Moeller]
4957
4958 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
4959 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
4960 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
4961 [Richard Levitte]
4962
4963 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
4964 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
4965 [Andy Polyakov]
4966
4967 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
4968 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
4969 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
4970 pod file:
4971
4972 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
4973
4974 The blank line is mandatory.
4975
4976 [Steve Henson]
4977
4978 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
4979 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
4980 sources.
4981 [Steve Henson]
4982
4983 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
4984 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
4985
4986 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
4987 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
4988 to support policy checking and print out.
4989 [Steve Henson]
4990
4991 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
4992 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
4993 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
4994 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
4995
4996 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
4997 [Geoff Thorpe]
4998
4999 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
5000 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
5001
5002 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
5003 implementation contributed by IBM.
5004 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
5005
5006 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
5007 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
5008 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
5009 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
5010
5011 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
5012 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
5013
5014 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
5015 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
5016 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
5017 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
5018 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
5019 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
5020 [Steve Henson]
5021
5022 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
5023 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
5024 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
5025 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
5026 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
5027 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
5028 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
5029 [Geoff Thorpe]
5030
5031 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
5032 [Steve Henson]
5033
5034 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
5035 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
5036 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
5037 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
5038 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
5039 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
5040 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
5041 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
5042 [Steve Henson]
5043
5044 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
5045 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
5046 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
5047 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
5048 [Steve Henson]
5049
5050 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
5051 syntax:
5052
5053 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
5054 [Steve Henson]
5055
5056 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
5057 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
5058 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
5059 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
5060 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
5061 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
5062 BN_CTX's "bundling".
5063 [Geoff Thorpe]
5064
5065 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
5066 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
5067 [Geoff Thorpe]
5068
5069 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
5070 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
5071 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
5072 [Steve Henson]
5073
5074 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
5075 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
5076 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
5077 below).
5078 [Geoff Thorpe]
5079
5080 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
5081 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
5082 [Richard Levitte]
5083
5084 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
5085 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
5086 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
5087 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
5088 [Geoff Thorpe]
5089
5090 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
5091 initialised value as BN_new().
5092 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
5093
5094 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
5095 [Steve Henson]
5096
5097 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
5098 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
5099 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
5100 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
5101 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
5102 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
5103 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
5104 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
5105 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
5106 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
5107 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
5108 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
5109 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
5110 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
5111 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
5112
5113 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
5114 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
5115 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
5116 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
5117 [Geoff Thorpe]
5118
5119 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
5120 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
5121 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
5122 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
5123 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
5124 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
5125 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
5126 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
5127 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
5128 [Geoff Thorpe]
5129
5130 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
5131 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
5132 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
5133 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
5134 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
5135 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
5136 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
5137 [Geoff Thorpe]
5138
5139 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
5140 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
5141 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
5142 these have been updated also.
5143 [Geoff Thorpe]
5144
5145 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
5146 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
5147 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
5148 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
5149 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
5150 functions.
5151 [Steve Henson]
5152
5153 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
5154 structure of type "other".
5155 [Steve Henson]
5156
5157 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
5158 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
5159 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
5160 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
5161 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
5162 situation in the script.
5163 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5164
5165 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5166 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
5167 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
5168 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
5169 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
5170 used as premaster secret.
5171 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5172
5173 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
5174 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
5175 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5176
5177 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
5178 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
5179
5180 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
5181 control of the error stack.
5182 [Richard Levitte]
5183
5184 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
5185 [Richard Levitte]
5186
5187 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
5188 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
5189 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
5190 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
5191 [Richard Levitte]
5192
5193 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
5194 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
5195 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
5196 [Richard Levitte]
5197
5198 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
5199 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
5200 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
5201 a memory area.
5202 [Richard Levitte]
5203
5204 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
5205 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
5206 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
5207 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
5208 [Richard Levitte]
5209
5210 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
5211 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
5212 the following flags are defined:
5213
5214 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
5215 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5216 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
5217 number.
5218
5219 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
5220 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5221 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
5222 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
5223 returns zero.
5224 [Richard Levitte]
5225
5226 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
5227 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
5228 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
5229 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
5230 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
5231 [Richard Levitte]
5232
5233 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
5234 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
5235 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
5236 [Richard Levitte]
5237
5238 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5239 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5240 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5241 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5242 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5243 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5244 [Richard Levitte]
5245
5246 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
5247 req and dirName.
5248 [Steve Henson]
5249
5250 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
5251 [Steve Henson]
5252
5253 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
5254 [Steve Henson]
5255
5256 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
5257 [Steve Henson]
5258
5259 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
5260 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
5261 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
5262 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
5263 default implementation more easily.
5264 [Geoff Thorpe]
5265
5266 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
5267 in config files.
5268 [Steve Henson]
5269
5270 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
5271 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
5272 [Richard Levitte]
5273
5274 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
5275 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
5276 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
5277 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
5278
5279 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
5280 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
5281 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
5282 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
5283 [Steve Henson]
5284
5285 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
5286 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
5287 to do it.
5288 [Richard Levitte]
5289
5290 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
5291 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
5292 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
5293 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
5294 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
5295 scalar * generator).
5296 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
5297
5298 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
5299 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
5300 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
5301 correctly.
5302 [Steve Henson]
5303
5304 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
5305 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
5306 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
5307 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
5308 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
5309 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
5310 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
5311 linker additions, eg;
5312 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
5313 [Geoff Thorpe]
5314
5315 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
5316 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
5317 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
5318 [Geoff Thorpe]
5319
5320 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5321 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5322 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
5323 via PR#459)
5324 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5325
5326 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
5327 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
5328 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
5329 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
5330 [Geoff Thorpe]
5331
5332 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
5333 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
5334 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
5335 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
5336 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
5337 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
5338 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
5339 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
5340 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
5341 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
5342
5343 Example for using the new callback interface:
5344
5345 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
5346 void *my_arg = ...;
5347 BN_GENCB my_cb;
5348
5349 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
5350
5351 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
5352 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
5353 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
5354 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
5355 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
5356 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
5357 */
5358
5359 [Geoff Thorpe]
5360
5361 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
5362 available to TLS with the number defined in
5363 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
5364 [Richard Levitte]
5365
5366 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
5367 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
5368
5369 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
5370 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5371 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5372 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
5373
5374 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
5375 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
5376
5377 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
5378 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
5379 well.
5380 [Richard Levitte]
5381
5382 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
5383 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
5384 [Richard Levitte]
5385
5386 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
5387 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
5388 and a macro that behave like
5389 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
5390
5391 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
5392 [Nils Larsch]
5393
5394 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
5395 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
5396 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
5397 if applicable.
5398 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5399
5400 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
5401 [Bodo Moeller]
5402
5403 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
5404 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
5405 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
5406 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
5407 directory engines/.
5408 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
5409 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
5410 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
5411 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
5412 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
5413 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
5414 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
5415 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
5416
5417 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
5418 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
5419 [Richard Levitte]
5420
5421 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
5422 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
5423
5424 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
5425 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
5426 files while avoiding the low level API.
5427
5428 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
5429 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
5430 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
5431 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
5432
5433 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
5434 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
5435 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
5436 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
5437 instead of the low level API.
5438 [Steve Henson]
5439
5440 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
5441 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
5442 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
5443 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
5444 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
5445 PKCS#7 code.
5446
5447 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
5448 down to the template encoder.
5449 [Steve Henson]
5450
5451 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
5452 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
5453 [Bodo Moeller]
5454
5455 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
5456 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
5457 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
5458 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5459
5460 *) Add ECDH engine support.
5461 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5462
5463 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
5464 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5465
5466 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
5467 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
5468 [Bodo Moeller]
5469
5470 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
5471 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
5472 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
5473 [Bodo Moeller]
5474
5475 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
5476 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
5477
5478 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5479 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5480
5481 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
5482 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
5483 New EC_METHOD:
5484
5485 EC_GF2m_simple_method
5486
5487 New API functions:
5488
5489 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
5490 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
5491 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
5492 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5493 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5494 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
5495
5496 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
5497 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
5498 enable it).
5499
5500 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
5501 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
5502 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
5503 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
5504 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
5505 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
5506 various internal method names.)
5507
5508 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
5509 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
5510
5511 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5512 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5513
5514 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
5515 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
5516
5517 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
5518 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
5519 methods are undefined.
5520
5521 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5522 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5523
5524 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
5525 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
5526 length of the modulus.
5527
5528 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5529 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5530
5531 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
5532 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
5533
5534 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5535 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5536
5537 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
5538 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
5539 used) in the following functions [macros]:
5540
5541 BN_GF2m_add
5542 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
5543 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
5544 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
5545 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
5546 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
5547 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
5548 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
5549 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
5550 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
5551
5552 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
5553 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
5554
5555 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
5556 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
5557 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
5558 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
5559 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
5560 where
5561 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
5562 This applies to the following functions:
5563
5564 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
5565 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
5566 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
5567 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
5568 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
5569 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
5570 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
5571 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
5572 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5573 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5574
5575 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
5576
5577 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5578 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5579
5580 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
5581
5582 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
5583 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
5584 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
5585 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
5586 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
5587
5588 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5589 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5590
5591 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
5592 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
5593 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
5594
5595 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
5596 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
5597
5598 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
5599 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
5600 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
5601 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
5602 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5603
5604 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
5605 functions
5606 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
5607 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
5608 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
5609 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
5610 These control ASN1 encoding details:
5611 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
5612 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
5613 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
5614 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
5615 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
5616 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
5617 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
5618
5619 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
5620 functions
5621 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
5622 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
5623 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
5624 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
5625 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5626
5627 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
5628 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
5629 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
5630 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5631
5632 *) Add functions
5633 EC_POINT_point2bn()
5634 EC_POINT_bn2point()
5635 EC_POINT_point2hex()
5636 EC_POINT_hex2point()
5637 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
5638 EC_POINT_oct2point().
5639 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5640
5641 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
5642 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
5643 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
5644 EC_GROUP_get_order()
5645 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
5646 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
5647 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
5648 adding different types of curves.
5649 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
5650
5651 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
5652 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
5653 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
5654 [Bodo Moeller]
5655
5656 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
5657 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
5658
5659 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
5660 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
5661 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
5662 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5663
5664 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
5665
5666 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
5667 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
5668
5669 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
5670 library. Most notably,
5671 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
5672 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
5673 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
5674 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
5675 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
5676 extracted before the specific public key;
5677 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
5678 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5679
5680 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
5681 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
5682 function
5683 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
5684 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
5685 EC_get_builtin_curves().
5686 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
5687 accessed via
5688 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
5689 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
5690 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
5691
5692 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5693 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5694 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5695 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5696 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5697 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5698 differing sizes.
5699 [Richard Levitte]
5700
5701 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
5702
5703 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
5704 sensitive data.
5705 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
5706
5707 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5708 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5709 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5710 [Bodo Moeller]
5711
5712 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
5713 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5714 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
5715 [Victor Duchovni]
5716
5717 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
5718 [Steve Henson]
5719
5720 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
5721 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
5722 [Steve Henson]
5723
5724 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
5725 run algorithm test programs.
5726 [Steve Henson]
5727
5728 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
5729 [Steve Henson]
5730
5731 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5732 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5733 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5734 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5735 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5736 [Bodo Moeller]
5737
5738 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5739 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5740 [Steve Henson]
5741
5742 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
5743
5744 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5745 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5746 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5747
5748 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5749 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5750
5751 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5752 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5753
5754 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5755 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5756 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5757
5758 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
5759 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
5760 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
5761 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
5762 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
5763 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
5764 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
5765 [Bodo Moeller]
5766
5767 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
5768
5769 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5770 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5771
5772 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5773 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5774 undesirable limitations.
5775 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5776
5777 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5778
5779 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5780 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5781 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5782
5783 The latter two were purportedly from
5784 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5785 appear there.
5786
5787 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
5788 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5789 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5790 [Bodo Moeller]
5791
5792 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5793 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5794 [Bodo Moeller]
5795
5796 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
5797
5798 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
5799 module in FIPS mode.
5800 [Steve Henson]
5801
5802 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
5803 [Steve Henson]
5804
5805 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
5806 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
5807 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
5808 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
5809 [Steve Henson]
5810
5811 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
5812
5813 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
5814 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
5815 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
5816 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
5817 the difference induced by this change.
5818 [Andy Polyakov]
5819
5820 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
5821
5822 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5823 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5824 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5825 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5826 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5827
5828 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5829 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5830 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5831
5832 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
5833 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
5834 [Steve Henson]
5835
5836 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
5837 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
5838 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
5839 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
5840 biased k.)
5841 [Bodo Moeller]
5842
5843 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
5844 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
5845 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
5846 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
5847 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
5848
5849 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
5850 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
5851 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
5852 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
5853 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
5854 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
5855
5856 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
5857
5858 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
5859 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
5860 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
5861 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
5862 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
5863 [Bodo Moeller]
5864
5865 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
5866 clients need.
5867 [Steve Henson]
5868
5869 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
5870 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
5871 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
5872 [Steve Henson]
5873
5874 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
5875 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
5876 structures constant.
5877 [Steve Henson]
5878
5879 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
5880
5881 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5882 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5883
5884 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
5885 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
5886 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
5887 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
5888 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
5889 some needed definitions.
5890 [Steve Henson]
5891
5892 *) Undo Cygwin change.
5893 [Ulf Möller]
5894
5895 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
5896 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
5897 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
5898 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
5899 [Richard Levitte]
5900
5901 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
5902
5903 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
5904 server and client random values. Previously
5905 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
5906 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
5907
5908 This change has negligible security impact because:
5909
5910 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
5911 data.
5912
5913 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
5914 handshake.
5915
5916 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
5917 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
5918 values.
5919
5920 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
5921 to our attention.
5922
5923 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
5924
5925 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
5926 [Ulf Möller]
5927
5928 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
5929 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
5930 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
5931
5932 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
5933 [Steve Henson]
5934
5935 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
5936 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
5937 [Andy Polyakov]
5938
5939 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
5940 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
5941 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
5942
5943 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
5944 [Steve Henson]
5945
5946 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
5947 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
5948 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
5949 certificates.
5950 [Steve Henson]
5951
5952 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
5953 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
5954 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
5955 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
5956
5957 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
5958 has chosen to ignore this fault)
5959 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
5960 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
5961 been given)
5962 [Richard Levitte]
5963
5964 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
5965
5966 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
5967 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
5968 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
5969 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
5970 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
5971 [Steve Henson]
5972
5973 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
5974 [Steve Henson]
5975
5976 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
5977 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
5978
5979 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
5980 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
5981 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
5982 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
5983 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
5984 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
5985 rather than being initialized to 1.
5986 [Steve Henson]
5987
5988 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
5989
5990 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
5991 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
5992 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5993
5994 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
5995 (CVE-2004-0112)
5996 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5997
5998 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5999 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6000 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6001 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6002 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6003 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6004 [Richard Levitte]
6005
6006 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
6007 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
6008 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
6009 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
6010 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
6011 for these cases.
6012 [Steve Henson]
6013
6014 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
6015 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
6016 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
6017 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
6018 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
6019 [Steve Henson]
6020
6021 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
6022 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
6023 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
6024 < 0.9.7.
6025 [Steve Henson]
6026
6027 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
6028 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6029
6030 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
6031 [Steve Henson]
6032
6033 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
6034
6035 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6036
6037 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6038 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6039
6040 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
6041
6042 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6043 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6044
6045 [Steve Henson]
6046
6047 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
6048 exiting on the first error in a request.
6049 [Steve Henson]
6050
6051 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6052 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6053 specifications.
6054 [Steve Henson]
6055
6056 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6057 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6058 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6059 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6060
6061 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6062 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6063 [Richard Levitte]
6064
6065 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
6066 blocks during encryption.
6067 [Richard Levitte]
6068
6069 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
6070 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
6071 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
6072 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
6073 certain size.
6074 [Steve Henson]
6075
6076 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
6077 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
6078 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
6079 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
6080 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
6081 parser.
6082 [Steve Henson]
6083
6084 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
6085
6086 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6087 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6088 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6089 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6090 [Bodo Moeller]
6091
6092 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6093 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6094 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6095 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6096 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6097
6098 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6099 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6100 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6101 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6102 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6103 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6104 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6105 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6106 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6107 [Bodo Moeller]
6108
6109 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
6110 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
6111 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
6112 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
6113 [Geoff Thorpe]
6114
6115 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
6116 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
6117 [Ulf Moeller]
6118
6119 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
6120
6121 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6122 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
6123 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6124 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6125 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6126
6127 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6128 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6129 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6130
6131 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
6132 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
6133 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
6134 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
6135 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
6136
6137 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
6138 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
6139 used by default when no-err is given.
6140 [Richard Levitte]
6141
6142 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
6143 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
6144
6145 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
6146 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
6147 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
6148 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
6149 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
6150
6151 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
6152 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
6153 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
6154 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
6155
6156 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
6157
6158 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
6159
6160 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
6161
6162 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
6163 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
6164 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
6165 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
6166 root is omitted).
6167 [Steve Henson]
6168
6169 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
6170 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6171
6172 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
6173 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
6174 [Steve Henson]
6175
6176 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6177 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6178 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
6179 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
6180 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6181
6182 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
6183 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
6184 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
6185 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
6186 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
6187 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6188 followup to PR #377.
6189 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6190
6191 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
6192 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
6193 [Andy Polyakov]
6194
6195 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
6196 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
6197 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
6198 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
6199
6200 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
6201
6202 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
6203 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
6204
6205 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
6206 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
6207 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
6208 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
6209 client and server.
6210 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6211 PR #377.
6212 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6213
6214 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
6215 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
6216 removed entirely.
6217 [Richard Levitte]
6218
6219 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
6220 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
6221 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
6222 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
6223 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
6224 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
6225 of libcrypto.
6226 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
6227 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
6228 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
6229 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
6230 have to be made anyway).
6231 [Richard Levitte]
6232
6233 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
6234 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
6235 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
6236 [Steve Henson]
6237
6238 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
6239 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
6240 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
6241 [Richard Levitte]
6242
6243 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
6244 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
6245 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6246
6247 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
6248 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
6249 edit numbers of the version.
6250 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6251
6252 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
6253 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
6254 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
6255
6256 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
6257 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6258
6259 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6260 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6261 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6262
6263 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
6264 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6265
6266 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
6267 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6268
6269 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
6270 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6271
6272 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
6273 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6274
6275 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
6276 overflows.
6277 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6278
6279 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
6280 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
6281 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6282
6283 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
6284 representations in a platform independent manner.
6285 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6286
6287 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6288 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6289 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6290
6291 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
6292 indents.
6293 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6294
6295 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
6296 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6297
6298 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
6299 full. Fixed.
6300 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6301
6302 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
6303 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
6304 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6305
6306 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
6307 unconditionally).
6308 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6309
6310 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
6311 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6312
6313 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
6314 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6315
6316 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
6317 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6318
6319 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
6320 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6321
6322 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
6323 CBCParameter.
6324 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6325
6326 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
6327 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6328
6329 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
6330 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6331
6332 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
6333 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
6334 exploitable.
6335 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6336
6337 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
6338 the 0.9.6 release series:
6339
6340 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6341 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
6342 (CVE-2002-0657)
6343 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6344
6345 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
6346 [Richard Levitte]
6347
6348 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
6349 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
6350
6351 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
6352 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
6353
6354 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
6355 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
6356 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
6357 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
6358
6359 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
6360 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
6361 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
6362
6363 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
6364 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
6365 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
6366 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6367
6368 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
6369 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
6370 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
6371 some local tweaks:
6372
6373 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
6374 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
6375 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
6376 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6377 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6378 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
6379 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
6380 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
6381 done
6382
6383 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
6384 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
6385 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
6386 [Richard Levitte]
6387
6388 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
6389 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
6390 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
6391 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
6392 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
6393
6394 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
6395 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
6396
6397 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
6398 error in AES-CFB decryption.
6399 [Richard Levitte]
6400
6401 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
6402 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
6403 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
6404 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
6405 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
6406 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
6407 [Steve Henson]
6408
6409 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
6410 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
6411 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
6412 [Steve Henson]
6413
6414 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
6415 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
6416 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6417
6418 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
6419 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
6420 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
6421 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
6422 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
6423 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
6424 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
6425 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6426
6427 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
6428 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
6429 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
6430 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
6431 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
6432 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
6433 [Steve Henson]
6434
6435 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
6436 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
6437 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
6438 declaration has been changed from
6439 int (*cb)()
6440 into
6441 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
6442 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
6443 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
6444 has been changed into
6445 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
6446
6447 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
6448 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
6449 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
6450
6451 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
6452 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
6453
6454 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
6455 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
6456 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
6457 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
6458 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
6459 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
6460 always load it have also been added.
6461 [Steve Henson]
6462
6463 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
6464 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
6465 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6466
6467 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
6468
6469 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
6470 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
6471 because it couldn't be used for anything.
6472
6473 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
6474 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
6475 command line option can be used to specify an
6476 alternative file.
6477 [Steve Henson]
6478
6479 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
6480 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
6481 [Steve Henson]
6482
6483 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
6484 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
6485 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
6486 [Steve Henson]
6487
6488 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
6489 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6490 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
6491 to work with the new engine framework.
6492 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
6493
6494 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
6495 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6496 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
6497 to work with the new engine framework.
6498 [Richard Levitte]
6499
6500 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
6501 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
6502 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
6503
6504 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
6505 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
6506
6507 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
6508 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
6509 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
6510 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
6511 FORMAT_IISSGC.
6512 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6513
6514 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6515 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6516
6517 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
6518 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
6519
6520 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
6521 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
6522 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
6523 [Ben Laurie]
6524
6525 *) Add new functions
6526 ERR_peek_last_error
6527 ERR_peek_last_error_line
6528 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
6529 These are similar to
6530 ERR_peek_error
6531 ERR_peek_error_line
6532 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
6533 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
6534 still in the error queue.
6535 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
6536
6537 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
6538 like:
6539 default_algorithms = ALL
6540 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
6541 [Steve Henson]
6542
6543 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
6544 [Steve Henson]
6545
6546 *) New experimental application configuration code.
6547 [Steve Henson]
6548
6549 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
6550 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
6551 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
6552 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6553
6554 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
6555 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
6556
6557 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
6558 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6559
6560 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
6561 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
6562 [Bodo Moeller]
6563
6564 *) New functions/macros
6565
6566 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
6567 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
6568 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
6569 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
6570
6571 to request calling a callback function
6572
6573 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
6574 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
6575
6576 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
6577 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
6578 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
6579 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
6580 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
6581 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
6582 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
6583 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
6584 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
6585 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
6586
6587 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
6588 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
6589 [Bodo Moeller]
6590
6591 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
6592 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
6593 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
6594 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
6595 the configuration scripts.
6596
6597 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
6598 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
6599 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
6600
6601 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
6602 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6603
6604 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
6605 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
6606 when reusing an existing buffer.
6607 [Bodo Moeller]
6608
6609 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
6610 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
6611 [Steve Henson]
6612
6613 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
6614 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
6615 [Ben Laurie]
6616
6617 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
6618 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
6619 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
6620 has the same effect.
6621 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6622
6623 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
6624 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
6625 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
6626 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
6627 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
6628 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
6629 exception.
6630
6631 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
6632 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
6633 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
6634 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
6635
6636 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
6637 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
6638 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
6639 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
6640
6641 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
6642 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
6643 won't work.
6644
6645 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
6646 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
6647 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
6648 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
6649 default), and then completely removed.
6650 [Richard Levitte]
6651
6652 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
6653 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
6654 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
6655 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
6656 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
6657 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
6658 particular extension is supported.
6659 [Steve Henson]
6660
6661 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
6662 to retain compatibility with existing code.
6663 [Steve Henson]
6664
6665 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
6666 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
6667 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
6668 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
6669 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
6670 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
6671 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
6672 requires the destination to be valid.
6673
6674 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
6675 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
6676 [Steve Henson]
6677
6678 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
6679 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
6680 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
6681 [Bodo Moeller]
6682
6683 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
6684 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
6685
6686 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
6687 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
6688 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
6689 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
6690 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
6691 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
6692 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
6693 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
6694 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
6695 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
6696 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
6697 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
6698 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
6699 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
6700 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
6701 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
6702 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
6703 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
6704 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
6705 the new code.
6706 [Geoff Thorpe]
6707
6708 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
6709 [Steve Henson]
6710
6711 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
6712 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
6713 become part of libeay.num as well.
6714 [Richard Levitte]
6715
6716 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
6717 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
6718 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
6719 false once a handshake has been completed.
6720 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
6721 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
6722 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
6723 client has followed the request.)
6724 [Bodo Moeller]
6725
6726 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
6727 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
6728 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
6729 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
6730
6731 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
6732 more bits available for options that should not be part of
6733 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
6734 [Bodo Moeller]
6735
6736 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
6737 [Steve Henson]
6738
6739 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
6740 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
6741 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
6742 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6743
6744 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
6745 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6746 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6747
6748 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
6749 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
6750 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
6751 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
6752 [Geoff Thorpe]
6753
6754 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
6755 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
6756 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
6757 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
6758 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
6759 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
6760 [Geoff Thorpe]
6761
6762 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
6763 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
6764 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
6765 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
6766 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
6767 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
6768 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
6769 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
6770 [Geoff Thorpe]
6771
6772 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
6773 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
6774 [Geoff Thorpe]
6775
6776 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
6777 [Ben Laurie]
6778
6779 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
6780 md_data void pointer.
6781 [Ben Laurie]
6782
6783 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
6784 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
6785 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
6786 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
6787 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
6788 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
6789 [Ben Laurie]
6790
6791 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
6792 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
6793 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
6794 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
6795 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
6796 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
6797 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
6798 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
6799 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
6800 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
6801 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
6802 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
6803 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
6804 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
6805 rather than letting it slide.
6806
6807 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
6808 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
6809 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
6810 [Geoff Thorpe]
6811
6812 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
6813 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
6814 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
6815 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
6816 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
6817 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
6818 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
6819 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
6820 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
6821 [Geoff Thorpe]
6822
6823 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
6824 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
6825 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
6826 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
6827 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
6828
6829 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
6830 [Geoff Thorpe]
6831
6832 *) Add EVP test program.
6833 [Ben Laurie]
6834
6835 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
6836 [Ben Laurie]
6837
6838 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
6839 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
6840 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
6841 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
6842 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
6843 [Steve Henson]
6844
6845 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
6846 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
6847 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
6848 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
6849 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
6850 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
6851 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
6852
6853 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
6854 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
6855 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
6856 Usage example:
6857
6858 EVP_MD_CTX md;
6859
6860 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
6861 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
6862 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
6863 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
6864 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
6865
6866 [Ben Laurie]
6867
6868 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
6869 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
6870 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
6871 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
6872 anyway): E.g.,
6873
6874 des_key_schedule ks;
6875
6876 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
6877 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
6878
6879 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
6880 [Ben Laurie]
6881
6882 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
6883 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
6884 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
6885 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
6886 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
6887 functions prevents this.
6888 [Steve Henson]
6889
6890 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
6891 [Ben Laurie]
6892
6893 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
6894 correct _ecb suffix.
6895 [Ben Laurie]
6896
6897 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
6898 revocation information is handled using the text based index
6899 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
6900 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
6901 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
6902 [Steve Henson]
6903
6904 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
6905 [Richard Levitte]
6906
6907 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
6908 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
6909 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
6910 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
6911
6912 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
6913 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
6914
6915 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
6916 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
6917 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
6918 via Richard Levitte]
6919
6920 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
6921 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
6922 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
6923 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
6924 [Geoff Thorpe]
6925
6926 *) Speed up EVP routines.
6927 Before:
6928 encrypt
6929 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
6930 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
6931 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k
6932 des-cbc 4394.32k 5575.92k 5807.44k 5848.37k 5841.30k
6933 decrypt
6934 des-cbc 3482.66k 5069.49k 5496.39k 5614.16k 5639.28k
6935 des-cbc 3480.74k 5068.76k 5510.34k 5609.87k 5635.52k
6936 des-cbc 3483.72k 5067.62k 5504.60k 5708.01k 5724.80k
6937 After:
6938 encrypt
6939 des-cbc 4660.16k 5650.19k 5807.19k 5827.13k 5783.32k
6940 decrypt
6941 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
6942 [Ben Laurie]
6943
6944 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
6945 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
6946
6947 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
6948 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
6949 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
6950 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
6951 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
6952 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
6953 [Steve Henson]
6954
6955 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
6956 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
6957 [Richard Levitte]
6958
6959 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
6960 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
6961 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
6962 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
6963
6964 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
6965 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
6966 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
6967 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
6968 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
6969 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
6970 callback.
6971 [Richard Levitte]
6972
6973 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
6974 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
6975 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
6976 and interrupts/cancellations.
6977 [Richard Levitte]
6978
6979 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
6980 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
6981 [Steve Henson]
6982
6983 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
6984 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
6985 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
6986
6987 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
6988 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
6989 kind of callback.
6990 [Richard Levitte]
6991
6992 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
6993 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
6994 than this minimum value is recommended.
6995 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6996
6997 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
6998 that are easily reachable.
6999 [Richard Levitte]
7000
7001 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
7002 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
7003
7004 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
7005
7006 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
7007 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
7008 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
7009 needed for static libraries under Win32.
7010 [Steve Henson]
7011
7012 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
7013 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
7014 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
7015 [Steve Henson]
7016
7017 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
7018 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
7019 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
7020 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
7021 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
7022 internally such as S/MIME.
7023
7024 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
7025 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
7026 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
7027
7028 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
7029 applications.
7030 [Steve Henson]
7031
7032 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
7033 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
7034 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
7035 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
7036
7037 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7038
7039 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
7040
7041 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
7042 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
7043 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
7044 handling.
7045 [Steve Henson]
7046
7047 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
7048 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
7049 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
7050 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
7051 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
7052 a window system and the like.
7053 [Richard Levitte]
7054
7055 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
7056 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
7057 [Geoff]
7058
7059 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
7060 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
7061 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
7062 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
7063 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
7064 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
7065 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
7066 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
7067 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
7068 ENGINE structure.
7069 [Geoff]
7070
7071 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
7072 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
7073 tag cache.
7074 [Steve Henson]
7075
7076 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
7077 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
7078 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
7079 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
7080 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
7081 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
7082 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
7083 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
7084 [Geoff]
7085
7086 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
7087 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
7088 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
7089 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
7090 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
7091 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
7092 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
7093 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
7094 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
7095 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
7096 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
7097 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
7098 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
7099 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
7100 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
7101 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
7102 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
7103 [Geoff]
7104
7105 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
7106 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
7107 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
7108 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
7109 internal engine_int.h header.
7110 [Geoff]
7111
7112 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
7113 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
7114 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
7115 modify their own ones).
7116 [Geoff]
7117
7118 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
7119 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
7120 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
7121 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
7122 later on via ctrl() commands.
7123 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
7124 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
7125 structural references.
7126 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
7127 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
7128 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
7129 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
7130 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
7131 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
7132 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
7133 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
7134 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
7135 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
7136 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
7137 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
7138 [Geoff]
7139
7140 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
7141 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
7142 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
7143 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
7144 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
7145 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
7146 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
7147 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
7148 [Bodo Moeller]
7149
7150 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
7151 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
7152 [Steve Henson]
7153
7154 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
7155 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
7156 [Steve Henson]
7157
7158 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
7159 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
7160 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
7161 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
7162 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
7163 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
7164 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
7165 [Steve Henson]
7166
7167 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
7168 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
7169 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
7170 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
7171 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
7172
7173 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
7174 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
7175 generator).
7176 [Bodo Moeller]
7177
7178 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
7179
7180 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
7181 operations and provides various method functions that can also
7182 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
7183
7184 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
7185 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
7186
7187 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
7188 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
7189 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
7190
7191 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
7192 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
7193
7194 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
7195 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
7196
7197 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
7198
7199 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
7200 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
7201 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
7202 [Bodo Moeller]
7203
7204 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
7205 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
7206 [Richard Levitte]
7207
7208 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
7209 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
7210 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
7211 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
7212 is 40 of more characters long.
7213 [Steve Henson]
7214
7215 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
7216 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
7217 pointers.
7218 [Steve Henson]
7219
7220 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
7221 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
7222 [Bodo Moeller]
7223
7224 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
7225 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
7226 might.
7227 [Steve Henson]
7228
7229 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
7230
7231 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
7232 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
7233
7234 ASN1 error codes
7235 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
7236 ...
7237 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
7238 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
7239 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
7240 ...
7241 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
7242 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
7243
7244 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
7245 [Bodo Moeller]
7246
7247 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
7248 suffices.
7249 [Bodo Moeller]
7250
7251 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
7252 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
7253 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
7254 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
7255 and
7256 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
7257
7258 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
7259 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
7260
7261 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
7262 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
7263 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
7264 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
7265 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
7266 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
7267
7268 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
7269 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
7270
7271 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
7272 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7273
7274 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
7275 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
7276
7277 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
7278 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
7279 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7280 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
7281
7282 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
7283 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
7284
7285 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
7286 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
7287
7288 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
7289 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
7290 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
7291 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
7292 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
7293 [Richard Levitte]
7294
7295 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
7296 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
7297 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
7298 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
7299 [Steve Henson]
7300
7301 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
7302 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
7303 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
7304 trust settings.
7305 [Steve Henson]
7306
7307 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
7308 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
7309 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
7310 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
7311 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
7312 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
7313 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
7314 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
7315 ocsp utility.
7316 [Steve Henson]
7317
7318 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
7319 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
7320 [Steve Henson]
7321
7322 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
7323 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
7324 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
7325 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
7326 [Steve Henson]
7327
7328 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
7329 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
7330 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
7331 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
7332 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
7333 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
7334 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
7335 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
7336 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
7337 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
7338 [Steve Henson]
7339
7340 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
7341 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
7342 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
7343 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
7344 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
7345 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
7346 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
7347 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7348
7349 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
7350 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
7351 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
7352 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
7353 [Richard Levitte]
7354
7355 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
7356 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
7357 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
7358 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
7359 opensslconf.h.
7360 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
7361 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
7362 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
7363 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
7364 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
7365 what is available.
7366 [Richard Levitte]
7367
7368 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
7369 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
7370 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
7371 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
7372 auto incremented.
7373 [Steve Henson]
7374
7375 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
7376 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
7377 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
7378 [Steve Henson]
7379
7380 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
7381 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
7382 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
7383 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
7384 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
7385 [Steve Henson]
7386
7387 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
7388 [Steve Henson]
7389
7390 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
7391 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
7392 option to ocsp utility.
7393 [Steve Henson]
7394
7395 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
7396 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
7397 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
7398 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
7399 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
7400 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
7401 the request is nonce-less.
7402 [Steve Henson]
7403
7404 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
7405 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
7406 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
7407 [Bodo Moeller]
7408
7409 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
7410 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
7411 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
7412 [Steve Henson]
7413
7414 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
7415 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
7416 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
7417 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
7418 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
7419 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7420
7421 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
7422 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
7423 appear to exist.
7424 [Steve Henson]
7425
7426 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
7427 additional certificates supplied.
7428 [Steve Henson]
7429
7430 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
7431 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
7432 signature against.
7433 [Richard Levitte]
7434
7435 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
7436 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
7437 AES OIDs.
7438
7439 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
7440 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
7441 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
7442 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
7443 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
7444 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
7445 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
7446 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
7447 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
7448
7449 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
7450 request to response.
7451 [Steve Henson]
7452
7453 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
7454 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
7455 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
7456 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
7457 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
7458 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
7459 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
7460 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
7461 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
7462 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
7463 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
7464 [Steve Henson]
7465
7466 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
7467 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
7468 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
7469 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
7470 [Steve Henson]
7471
7472 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
7473 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7474
7475 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
7476 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
7477 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
7478 [Steve Henson]
7479
7480 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
7481 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
7482 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
7483 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7484 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7485
7486 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
7487 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
7488 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
7489 [Steve Henson]
7490
7491 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
7492 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
7493 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
7494 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
7495 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
7496 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
7497 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7498 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7499
7500 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
7501 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
7502 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
7503 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
7504 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
7505 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
7506 [Steve Henson]
7507
7508 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
7509 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
7510 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
7511 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
7512 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
7513 printout format cleaned up.
7514 [Steve Henson]
7515
7516 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
7517 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
7518 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
7519 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
7520 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
7521 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
7522 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
7523 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
7524 [Steve Henson]
7525
7526 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
7527 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
7528 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
7529 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
7530 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
7531 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
7532 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
7533 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
7534 [Steve Henson]
7535
7536 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
7537 extensions from a separate configuration file.
7538 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
7539 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
7540 section to use.
7541 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7542
7543 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
7544 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
7545 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
7546 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
7547 [Steve Henson]
7548
7549 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
7550 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
7551 the given serial number (according to the index file).
7552 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
7553 in the index file.
7554 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7555
7556 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
7557 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
7558 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
7559 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7560
7561 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
7562 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
7563
7564 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
7565 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
7566 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
7567 [Steve Henson]
7568
7569 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
7570 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
7571 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
7572 [Bodo Moeller]
7573
7574 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
7575 file name and line number information in additional arguments
7576 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
7577 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
7578 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
7579 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
7580 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
7581 functions are provided:
7582
7583 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
7584 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
7585 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
7586 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
7587
7588 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
7589 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
7590 extended allocation function is enabled.
7591 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
7592 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
7593 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
7594
7595 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
7596 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
7597 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
7598 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
7599 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
7600 [Geoff Thorpe]
7601
7602 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
7603 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
7604 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
7605 be queried.
7606 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
7607 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
7608 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
7609 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7610
7611 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
7612 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
7613 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
7614 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
7615 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
7616 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
7617 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
7618 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
7619 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
7620 [Richard Levitte]
7621
7622 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
7623 provide utility functions which an application needing
7624 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
7625 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
7626 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
7627
7628 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
7629 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
7630 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
7631 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
7632 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
7633 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
7634 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
7635 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
7636 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
7637
7638 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
7639 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
7640 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
7641 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
7642 [Steve Henson]
7643
7644 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
7645 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
7646 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
7647 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
7648 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
7649 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
7650 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
7651 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
7652 will be added elsewhere.
7653 [Steve Henson]
7654
7655 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
7656 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
7657 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
7658 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
7659 [Steve Henson]
7660
7661 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
7662 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
7663 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
7664 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
7665 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
7666 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
7667 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
7668 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
7669 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
7670 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
7671 to produce the required SET OF.
7672 [Steve Henson]
7673
7674 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
7675 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
7676 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
7677 [Richard Levitte]
7678
7679 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
7680 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
7681 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
7682 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
7683 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
7684 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
7685 [Steve Henson]
7686
7687 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
7688 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
7689 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
7690 [Steve Henson]
7691
7692 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
7693 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
7694 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
7695 [Richard Levitte]
7696
7697 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
7698 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
7699 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
7700 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
7701 code will still work when these eventually go away.
7702 [Steve Henson]
7703
7704 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
7705 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
7706 [Steve Henson]
7707
7708 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
7709 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
7710 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
7711 certificates and CRLs.
7712 [Steve Henson]
7713
7714 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
7715 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
7716 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
7717 [Steve Henson]
7718
7719 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
7720 entries for variables.
7721 [Steve Henson]
7722
7723 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
7724 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
7725 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
7726 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
7727 [Bodo Moeller]
7728
7729 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
7730 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
7731 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
7732 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
7733 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
7734 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
7735 [Bodo Moeller]
7736
7737 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
7738 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
7739
7740 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
7741 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
7742 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
7743 [Steve Henson]
7744
7745 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
7746 print routines.
7747 [Steve Henson]
7748
7749 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
7750 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
7751 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
7752 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
7753 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
7754 order did not reflect the encoded order.
7755 [Steve Henson]
7756
7757 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
7758 [Steve Henson]
7759
7760 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
7761 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
7762 for now but they will eventually go away.
7763 [Steve Henson]
7764
7765 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
7766 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
7767 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
7768 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
7769 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
7770 has also been converted to the new form.
7771 [Steve Henson]
7772
7773 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
7774 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
7775 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
7776 for negative moduli.
7777 [Bodo Moeller]
7778
7779 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
7780 of not touching the result's sign bit.
7781 [Bodo Moeller]
7782
7783 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
7784 set.
7785 [Bodo Moeller]
7786
7787 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
7788 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
7789 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
7790 type-specific callbacks.
7791 [Geoff Thorpe]
7792
7793 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
7794 RFC 2712.
7795 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7796 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
7797
7798 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
7799 in sections depending on the subject.
7800 [Richard Levitte]
7801
7802 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
7803 Windows.
7804 [Richard Levitte]
7805
7806 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
7807 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
7808 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
7809 be handled deterministically).
7810 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7811
7812 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
7813 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
7814 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
7815 [Bodo Moeller]
7816
7817 *) New function BN_kronecker.
7818 [Bodo Moeller]
7819
7820 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
7821 positive unless both parameters are zero.
7822 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
7823 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
7824 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
7825 [Bodo Moeller]
7826
7827 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
7828 sign of the number in question.
7829
7830 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
7831
7832 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
7833 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
7834 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
7835 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
7836 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
7837 [Bodo Moeller]
7838
7839 *) New function BN_swap.
7840 [Bodo Moeller]
7841
7842 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
7843 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
7844 results on negative inputs.
7845 [Bodo Moeller]
7846
7847 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
7848 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
7849 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
7850 [Bodo Moeller]
7851
7852 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
7853 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
7854 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
7855 and add new functions:
7856
7857 BN_nnmod
7858 BN_mod_sqr
7859 BN_mod_add
7860 BN_mod_add_quick
7861 BN_mod_sub
7862 BN_mod_sub_quick
7863 BN_mod_lshift1
7864 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
7865 BN_mod_lshift
7866 BN_mod_lshift_quick
7867
7868 These functions always generate non-negative results.
7869
7870 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
7871 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
7872
7873 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
7874 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
7875 be reduced modulo m.
7876 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7877
7878 #if 0
7879 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
7880 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
7881 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
7882
7883 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
7884 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
7885 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
7886 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
7887 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
7888 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
7889 differing sizes.
7890 [Richard Levitte]
7891 #endif
7892
7893 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
7894 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
7895 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
7896 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
7897 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
7898
7899 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
7900 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
7901 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
7902 cause any problems.
7903 [Bodo Moeller]
7904
7905 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
7906 [Richard Levitte]
7907
7908 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
7909 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
7910 [Richard Levitte]
7911
7912 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
7913 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
7914 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
7915 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
7916 time)
7917 [Richard Levitte]
7918
7919 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
7920 [Richard Levitte]
7921
7922 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
7923 [Richard Levitte]
7924
7925 *) Add the following functions:
7926
7927 ENGINE_load_cswift()
7928 ENGINE_load_chil()
7929 ENGINE_load_atalla()
7930 ENGINE_load_nuron()
7931 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
7932
7933 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
7934 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
7935 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
7936 libraries unless it's really needed.
7937
7938 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
7939 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
7940 declarations (they differed!).
7941 [Richard Levitte]
7942
7943 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
7944 [Richard Levitte]
7945
7946 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
7947 [Richard Levitte]
7948
7949 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
7950 [Bodo Moeller]
7951
7952 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
7953 identity, and test if they are actually available.
7954 [Richard Levitte]
7955
7956 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
7957 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
7958 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7959
7960 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
7961 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
7962 [Richard Levitte]
7963
7964 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
7965 [Richard Levitte]
7966
7967 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
7968 [Richard Levitte]
7969
7970 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
7971 [Ben Laurie]
7972
7973 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
7974 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
7975 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
7976
7977 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
7978 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
7979 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
7980 different shared library filenames on each system.
7981 [Geoff Thorpe]
7982
7983 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
7984 [Richard Levitte]
7985
7986 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
7987 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
7988 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
7989 of two sections.
7990 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
7991
7992 *) NCONF changes.
7993 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
7994 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
7995 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
7996 binary backward compatibility.
7997 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
7998 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
7999 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
8000 LDAP server.
8001 [Richard Levitte]
8002
8003 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
8004 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
8005 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
8006 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
8007 this case.
8008 [Steve Henson]
8009
8010 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
8011 [Ben Laurie]
8012
8013 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
8014 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
8015 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
8016 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
8017 set.
8018 [Steve Henson]
8019
8020 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
8021 [Richard Levitte]
8022
8023 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
8024
8025 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
8026 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
8027 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
8028
8029 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
8030
8031 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
8032
8033 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
8034 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
8035 [Steve Henson]
8036
8037 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
8038
8039 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
8040
8041 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
8042 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
8043
8044 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
8045 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
8046
8047 [Steve Henson]
8048
8049 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
8050 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
8051 specifications.
8052 [Steve Henson]
8053
8054 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
8055 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
8056 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
8057 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
8058
8059 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
8060 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
8061 [Richard Levitte]
8062
8063 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
8064
8065 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
8066 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
8067 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
8068 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
8069 [Bodo Moeller]
8070
8071 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
8072 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
8073 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
8074 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
8075 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8076
8077 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
8078 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
8079 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
8080 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
8081 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
8082 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
8083 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
8084 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
8085 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
8086 [Bodo Moeller]
8087
8088 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
8089
8090 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
8091 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
8092 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
8093 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
8094 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
8095
8096 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
8097 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
8098 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
8099
8100 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
8101
8102 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
8103 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
8104 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
8105 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
8106 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
8107 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
8108 [Geoff Thorpe]
8109
8110 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
8111 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
8112 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
8113 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
8114 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
8115 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8116
8117 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
8118 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
8119 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
8120
8121 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
8122 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
8123 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
8124 EVP_cleanup().
8125 [Richard Levitte]
8126
8127 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
8128 being properly terminated.
8129 [Richard Levitte]
8130
8131 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
8132 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
8133 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
8134 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
8135
8136 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
8137 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
8138 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
8139 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
8140 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
8141 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
8142 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
8143 change.
8144 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
8145
8146 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
8147 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
8148 [Bodo Moeller]
8149
8150 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
8151 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
8152 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
8153 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
8154 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
8155 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
8156 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
8157 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
8158
8159 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
8160 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
8161 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
8162 (see [openssl.org #212]).
8163 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8164
8165 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
8166 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
8167 [Steve Henson]
8168
8169 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
8170
8171 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
8172 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
8173 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
8174
8175 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
8176
8177 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
8178 and get fix the header length calculation.
8179 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
8180 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
8181 Steve Henson]
8182
8183 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
8184 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
8185 assertions could call abort()).
8186 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
8187
8188 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
8189
8190 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8191 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8192 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8193 supplied buffer.
8194 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8195
8196 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
8197 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
8198 by the selection routines (PR #130).
8199 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8200
8201 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
8202 [Nils Larsch]
8203
8204 *) New option
8205 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
8206 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
8207 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
8208
8209 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
8210 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
8211 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
8212 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
8213 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
8214 applications.
8215 [Bodo Moeller]
8216
8217 *) Changes in security patch:
8218
8219 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
8220 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
8221 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
8222 F30602-01-2-0537.
8223
8224 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8225 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8226 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8227 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
8228 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8229
8230 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
8231 happen in practice.
8232 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8233
8234 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
8235 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
8236 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
8237
8238 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
8239 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
8240 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8241
8242 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
8243 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
8244 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8245
8246 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
8247
8248 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
8249 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
8250 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
8251
8252 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
8253 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
8254
8255 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
8256 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
8257 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
8258 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
8259 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
8260 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
8261 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8262
8263 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
8264 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
8265 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
8266 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
8267 [Bodo Moeller]
8268
8269 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
8270 [Bodo Moeller]
8271
8272 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
8273 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
8274 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
8275 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
8276 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
8277 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8278
8279 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
8280 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
8281 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
8282 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
8283 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
8284 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8285
8286 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
8287 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
8288 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
8289 BN_generate_prime().)
8290
8291 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
8292 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
8293 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
8294 better.
8295 [Bodo Moeller]
8296
8297 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
8298 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
8299 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8300
8301 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
8302 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
8303 when using non-blocking I/O.
8304 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
8305
8306 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
8307 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
8308
8309 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
8310 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
8311 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8312
8313 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
8314 configuration for the versions before that.
8315 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
8316
8317 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
8318 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
8319 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
8320 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
8321 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8322
8323 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
8324 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
8325 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
8326 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8327
8328 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
8329 value is 0.
8330 [Richard Levitte]
8331
8332 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
8333 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
8334 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
8335
8336 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
8337 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
8338
8339 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
8340 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
8341 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
8342 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
8343 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
8344 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
8345 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
8346 session cache.
8347
8348 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
8349 using a local variable.
8350 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
8351
8352 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
8353 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
8354 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8355
8356 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
8357 [Richard Levitte]
8358
8359 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
8360 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
8361
8362 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
8363 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
8364 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
8365
8366 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
8367
8368 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
8369 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
8370 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
8371 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
8372 [Bodo Moeller]
8373
8374 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
8375 present.
8376 [Steve Henson]
8377
8378 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
8379 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
8380 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
8381 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
8382 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
8383
8384 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
8385 returns early because it has nothing to do.
8386 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8387
8388 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8389 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
8390 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8391
8392 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8393 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
8394 (Use engine 'keyclient')
8395 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
8396
8397 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
8398 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
8399 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
8400 modules).
8401 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
8402
8403 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8404 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
8405 from 0.9.7.
8406 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
8407
8408 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8409 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
8410 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
8411 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
8412
8413 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8414 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
8415 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
8416 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
8417
8418 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
8419 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
8420
8421 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
8422 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
8423 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
8424 [Bodo Moeller]
8425
8426 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
8427 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
8428 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
8429 become invalid.
8430 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
8431
8432 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
8433 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
8434 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
8435 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
8436 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
8437 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
8438 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
8439 [Bodo Moeller]
8440
8441 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
8442 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
8443 one of the SSL handshake functions.
8444 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
8445
8446 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
8447 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
8448 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
8449 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
8450 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
8451 the client will at least see that alert.
8452 [Bodo Moeller]
8453
8454 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
8455 correctly.
8456 [Bodo Moeller]
8457
8458 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
8459 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
8460 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8461
8462 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
8463 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
8464 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
8465 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
8466 HelloRequest.
8467
8468 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
8469 before just sending a HelloRequest.
8470 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
8471
8472 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
8473 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
8474 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
8475 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
8476 may leak via logfiles.)
8477
8478 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
8479 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
8480 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
8481 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
8482 the legal range.
8483 [Bodo Moeller]
8484
8485 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
8486 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
8487 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8488
8489 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
8490 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
8491 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
8492 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
8493 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
8494 [Bodo Moeller]
8495
8496 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
8497 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
8498
8499 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
8500 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
8501 followed by modular reduction.
8502 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
8503
8504 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
8505 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
8506 [Bodo Moeller]
8507
8508 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
8509 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
8510 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
8511 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
8512 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8513
8514 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
8515 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8516
8517 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
8518 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
8519 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8520
8521 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
8522 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
8523 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
8524 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
8525 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
8526 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
8527 automatically.
8528 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
8529
8530 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
8531 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
8532 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
8533 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
8534 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
8535
8536 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
8537 [Andy Polyakov]
8538
8539 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
8540 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
8541 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
8542 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
8543 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
8544 to allow the necessary settings.
8545 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8546
8547 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
8548 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
8549 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
8550 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
8551 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8552
8553 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
8554 dh->length and always used
8555
8556 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
8557
8558 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
8559 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
8560 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
8561 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
8562 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
8563 dh->length.
8564
8565 So switch back to
8566
8567 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
8568
8569 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
8570 otherwise.
8571 [Bodo Moeller]
8572
8573 *) In
8574
8575 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
8576 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
8577 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
8578 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
8579
8580 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
8581 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
8582 always reject numbers >= n.
8583 [Bodo Moeller]
8584
8585 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
8586 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
8587 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
8588 variable) is not atomic.
8589 [Bodo Moeller]
8590
8591 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
8592 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
8593 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
8594 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
8595
8596 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
8597 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
8598
8599 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
8600 little-endian MIPS.
8601 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
8602
8603 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
8604 [Richard Levitte]
8605
8606 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
8607
8608 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
8609 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
8610 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
8611 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
8612 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
8613 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
8614 to traverse all of 'state'.
8615
8616 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
8617 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
8618 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
8619
8620 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
8621 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
8622
8623 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
8624 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
8625 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
8626 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
8627 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
8628 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
8629 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
8630 further strengthens the PRNG.
8631 [Bodo Moeller]
8632
8633 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
8634 [Andy Polyakov]
8635
8636 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
8637 an error message in this case.
8638 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8639
8640 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
8641 [Steve Henson]
8642
8643 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
8644 positive and less than q.
8645 [Bodo Moeller]
8646
8647 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
8648 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
8649 that itself.
8650 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
8651
8652 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
8653 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
8654 [Bodo Moeller]
8655
8656 *) Fix OAEP check.
8657 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8658
8659 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
8660 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
8661 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
8662 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
8663 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
8664 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
8665 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
8666 paper.)
8667
8668 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
8669 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
8670 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
8671 detect the supposedly ignored error.
8672
8673 Both problems are now fixed.
8674 [Bodo Moeller]
8675
8676 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
8677 (previously it was 1024).
8678 [Bodo Moeller]
8679
8680 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
8681 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
8682 [Steve Henson]
8683
8684 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
8685 [Steve Henson]
8686
8687 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
8688 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
8689 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
8690 [Steve Henson]
8691
8692 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
8693 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
8694 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
8695 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
8696 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
8697 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
8698 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
8699 environment variables.
8700
8701 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
8702 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
8703 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
8704 [Bodo Moeller]
8705
8706 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
8707 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
8708 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
8709 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
8710 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
8711 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
8712 [Bodo Moeller]
8713
8714 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
8715 versions of 'test'.
8716 [Bodo Moeller]
8717
8718 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
8719
8720 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
8721 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
8722
8723 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
8724 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
8725 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
8726 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
8727 CygWin.
8728 [Richard Levitte]
8729
8730 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
8731 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
8732 amount of data available.
8733 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
8734 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8735
8736 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
8737 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
8738 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
8739 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
8740 [Bodo Moeller]
8741
8742 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
8743 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
8744 and UnixWare.
8745 [Richard Levitte]
8746
8747 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
8748 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
8749 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
8750 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
8751 [Ulf Moeller]
8752
8753 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
8754 [Andy Polyakov]
8755
8756 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
8757 [Richard Levitte]
8758
8759 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
8760 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
8761 [Steve Henson]
8762 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8763
8764 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
8765 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
8766 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
8767 (but broken) behaviour.
8768 [Steve Henson]
8769
8770 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
8771 it when found.
8772 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
8773
8774 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
8775 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
8776 [Bodo Moeller]
8777
8778 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
8779 did not exist.
8780 [Bodo Moeller]
8781
8782 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
8783 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
8784
8785 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
8786 [Richard Levitte]
8787
8788 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
8789 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
8790 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
8791
8792 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
8793 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
8794 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
8795 [Steve Henson]
8796
8797 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
8798 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
8799 [Ulf Moeller]
8800
8801 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
8802 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
8803
8804 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
8805
8806 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
8807
8808 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
8809 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
8810 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
8811 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
8812 [Bodo Moeller]
8813
8814 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
8815 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8816
8817 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
8818 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
8819 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8820
8821 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
8822 was empty.
8823 [Steve Henson]
8824 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8825
8826 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
8827 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
8828 but the code is actually correct.
8829 [Steve Henson]
8830
8831 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
8832 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
8833 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
8834 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
8835 and leaves the highest bit random.
8836 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8837
8838 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
8839 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
8840 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
8841 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
8842 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
8843 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
8844 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
8845 [Bodo Moeller]
8846
8847 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
8848 [Ulf Moeller]
8849
8850 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
8851 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
8852 [Steve Henson]
8853
8854 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
8855 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
8856 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
8857 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
8858 headers.
8859 [Richard Levitte]
8860
8861 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
8862 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
8863 and break the signature.
8864 [Steve Henson]
8865 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8866
8867 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
8868 DH ciphersuites.
8869 [Steve Henson]
8870
8871 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
8872 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
8873 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
8874 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
8875 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
8876 [Bodo Moeller]
8877
8878 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
8879 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8880
8881 *) ./config script fixes.
8882 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
8883
8884 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
8885 [Bodo Moeller]
8886
8887 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
8888 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
8889 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
8890 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
8891 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
8892
8893 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
8894 call failed, free the DSA structure.
8895 [Bodo Moeller]
8896
8897 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
8898 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
8899 [Steve Henson]
8900
8901 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
8902 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
8903 when writing a 32767 byte record.
8904 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
8905
8906 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
8907 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
8908
8909 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
8910 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
8911 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
8912 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
8913 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
8914
8915 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
8916 [Bodo Moeller]
8917
8918 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
8919 [Ulf Möller]
8920
8921 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
8922 [Ulf Möller]
8923
8924 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
8925 [Bodo Moeller]
8926
8927 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
8928 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
8929 [Bodo Moeller]
8930
8931 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
8932 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
8933 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
8934 result of the server certificate verification.)
8935 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8936
8937 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
8938 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
8939 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
8940 [Bodo Moeller]
8941
8942 *) Fix SSL_peek:
8943 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
8944 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
8945 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
8946 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
8947 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
8948 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
8949 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
8950 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
8951 [Bodo Moeller]
8952
8953 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
8954 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
8955 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
8956 happening the other way round.
8957 [Geoff Thorpe]
8958
8959 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
8960 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
8961 [Bodo Moeller]
8962
8963 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
8964 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
8965 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
8966 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
8967 [Richard Levitte]
8968
8969 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
8970 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
8971
8972 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
8973
8974 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
8975 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
8976 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
8977 that.
8978
8979 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
8980
8981 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
8982
8983 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
8984 static ones.
8985 [Richard Levitte]
8986
8987 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
8988
8989 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
8990 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
8991 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
8992 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
8993 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
8994
8995 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
8996 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
8997 matter what.
8998 [Richard Levitte]
8999
9000 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
9001 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9002
9003 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
9004
9005 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
9006 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
9007 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
9008 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
9009 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
9010 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
9011 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
9012 by the Finished messages.
9013 [Bodo Moeller]
9014
9015 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
9016 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
9017
9018 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
9019 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
9020 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
9021 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
9022 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
9023 appropriately.
9024 [Steve Henson]
9025
9026 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
9027 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
9028 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
9029 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
9030 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
9031 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
9032 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
9033 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
9034 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
9035 together.
9036 [Steve Henson]
9037
9038 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
9039 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
9040 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
9041 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
9042
9043 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
9044 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
9045 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
9046 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
9047 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
9048 the answer.
9049
9050 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
9051 been tested well enough.
9052 [Richard Levitte]
9053
9054 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
9055 it can return incorrect results.
9056 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
9057 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
9058 [Bodo Moeller]
9059
9060 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
9061 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
9062 include zero length content when signing messages.
9063 [Steve Henson]
9064
9065 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
9066 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
9067 [Bodo Möller]
9068
9069 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
9070 [Richard Levitte]
9071
9072 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
9073 wrong sign.
9074 [Ulf Möller]
9075
9076 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
9077 packages. The default package contains applications, application
9078 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
9079 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
9080 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
9081 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
9082 [Richard Levitte]
9083
9084 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
9085 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9086
9087 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
9088 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
9089
9090 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
9091 random number < q in the DSA library.
9092 [Ulf Möller]
9093
9094 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
9095 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
9096 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
9097 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
9098 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
9099 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
9100 just makes things more complicated.)
9101 [Bodo Moeller]
9102
9103 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
9104 from EGD.
9105 [Ben Laurie]
9106
9107 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
9108 work better on such systems.
9109 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9110
9111 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
9112 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
9113 keyid to the certificates aux info.
9114 [Steve Henson]
9115
9116 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
9117 if there was more than one signature.
9118 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
9119
9120 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
9121 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
9122 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
9123 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
9124 [Richard Levitte]
9125
9126 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
9127 rather than always using the current time.
9128 [Steve Henson]
9129
9130 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
9131 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
9132 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
9133 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
9134 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
9135 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
9136
9137 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
9138 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
9139
9140 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
9141
9142 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
9143 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
9144 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
9145 the same hash value.
9146
9147 As a result various functions (which were all internal
9148 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
9149 structure. This will break anything that messed round
9150 with X509_STORE internally.
9151
9152 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
9153 exact match, rather than just subject name.
9154
9155 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
9156 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
9157 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
9158 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
9159 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
9160 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
9161 entirely (maybe later...).
9162
9163 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
9164
9165 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
9166 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
9167 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
9168 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
9169 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
9170 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
9171 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
9172 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
9173
9174 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
9175 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
9176
9177 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
9178 to customise the verify behaviour.
9179 [Steve Henson]
9180
9181 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
9182 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
9183 [Steve Henson]
9184
9185 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
9186 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
9187 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
9188 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
9189 request is improperly encoded.
9190 [Steve Henson]
9191
9192 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
9193 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
9194 BIO_write(b, ...).
9195
9196 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
9197 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
9198
9199 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
9200 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
9201 words set to zero.)
9202 [Bodo Moeller]
9203
9204 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
9205 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
9206 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
9207 [Bodo Moeller]
9208
9209 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
9210 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
9211 BIO/fp routines also added.
9212 [Steve Henson]
9213
9214 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
9215 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
9216
9217 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
9218 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
9219 demos/state_machine.
9220 [Ben Laurie]
9221
9222 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
9223 generation and verification.
9224 [Steve Henson]
9225
9226 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
9227 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
9228 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
9229 encode and decode it manually.
9230 [Steve Henson]
9231
9232 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
9233 compile under VC++.
9234 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
9235
9236 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
9237 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
9238 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
9239 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
9240
9241 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
9242 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
9243 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
9244 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
9245 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
9246 [Steve Henson]
9247
9248 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
9249 [Richard Levitte]
9250
9251 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
9252 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
9253 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
9254
9255 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
9256 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
9257 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
9258 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
9259 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
9260 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
9261 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
9262 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
9263
9264 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
9265 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
9266
9267 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
9268
9269 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
9270 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
9271 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
9272
9273 [Richard Levitte]
9274
9275 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
9276 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
9277 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
9278 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
9279 [Richard Levitte]
9280
9281 *) MD4 implemented.
9282 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
9283
9284 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
9285 [Richard Levitte]
9286
9287 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
9288 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
9289 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
9290 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
9291 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
9292 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
9293 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
9294 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
9295 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
9296 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
9297 short or long names are found.
9298 [Steve Henson]
9299
9300 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
9301 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
9302
9303 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
9304 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
9305 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
9306 version rollback attacks was not effective.
9307
9308 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
9309 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
9310 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
9311 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
9312 [Bodo Moeller]
9313
9314 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
9315 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
9316 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
9317 [Richard Levitte]
9318
9319 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
9320 these print out strings and name structures based on various
9321 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
9322 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
9323 to allow the various flags to be set.
9324 [Steve Henson]
9325
9326 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
9327 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
9328 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
9329 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
9330 dates to be checked.
9331 [Steve Henson]
9332
9333 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
9334 negative public key encodings) on by default,
9335 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
9336 [Steve Henson]
9337
9338 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
9339 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
9340 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
9341 [Steve Henson]
9342
9343 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
9344 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
9345 [Bodo Moeller]
9346
9347 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
9348 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
9349 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
9350 are always statically linked for now, but there are
9351 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
9352 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
9353 [Richard Levitte]
9354
9355 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
9356 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
9357 Random Numbers.
9358 [Ulf Möller]
9359
9360 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
9361 DSA key.
9362 [Steve Henson]
9363
9364 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
9365 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
9366 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
9367 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
9368 form signing output easier to verify.
9369 [Steve Henson]
9370
9371 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
9372 [Steve Henson]
9373
9374 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
9375 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
9376 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
9377 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
9378 are needed because all other string types have virtually
9379 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
9380 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
9381 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
9382 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
9383 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
9384 [Steve Henson]
9385
9386 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
9387
9388 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
9389 the syntax given in objects.README.
9390 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
9391 obj_mac.h.
9392 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
9393 obj_mac.h.
9394
9395 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
9396 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
9397 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
9398 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
9399 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
9400 consistent name changes.
9401 [Richard Levitte]
9402
9403 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
9404 [Bodo Moeller]
9405
9406 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
9407 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
9408 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
9409 environment variable, or the default random state file.
9410 [Richard Levitte]
9411
9412 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
9413 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
9414 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
9415 of safestack.h .
9416 [Steve Henson]
9417
9418 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
9419 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
9420 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
9421 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
9422 [Steve Henson]
9423
9424 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
9425 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
9426 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
9427 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
9428 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
9429 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
9430 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
9431 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
9432 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
9433 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
9434 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
9435 [Steve Henson]
9436
9437 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
9438 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
9439 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
9440 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
9441 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
9442 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
9443 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
9444 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
9445 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
9446 algorithm to openssl-dev.
9447 [Steve Henson]
9448
9449 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
9450 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
9451 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
9452 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
9453
9454 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
9455 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
9456 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
9457 omit any duplicate addresses.
9458 [Steve Henson]
9459
9460 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
9461 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
9462 [Bodo Moeller]
9463
9464 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
9465 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
9466 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
9467 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
9468 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
9469 [Bodo Moeller]
9470
9471 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
9472 software:
9473 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
9474 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
9475 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
9476 Free => OPENSSL_free
9477 [Richard Levitte]
9478
9479 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
9480 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
9481 [Bodo Moeller]
9482
9483 *) CygWin32 support.
9484 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
9485
9486 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
9487 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
9488 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
9489 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
9490 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
9491 approach.
9492 [Geoff Thorpe]
9493
9494 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
9495 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
9496 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
9497 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
9498 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
9499 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
9500 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
9501 [Geoff Thorpe]
9502
9503 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
9504 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
9505 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
9506 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
9507 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
9508 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
9509 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
9510 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
9511 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
9512 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
9513 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
9514 [Bodo Moeller]
9515
9516 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
9517 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
9518 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
9519 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
9520 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
9521
9522 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
9523 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
9524 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
9525 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
9526 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
9527
9528 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
9529 ciphers.
9530
9531 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
9532 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
9533 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
9534 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
9535
9536 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
9537
9538 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
9539 of macros.
9540
9541 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
9542 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
9543 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
9544 flags.
9545
9546 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
9547 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
9548 any installed hardware versions can.
9549 [Steve Henson]
9550
9551 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
9552 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
9553 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
9554 number.
9555 [Bodo Moeller]
9556
9557 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
9558 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
9559 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
9560 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
9561 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
9562
9563 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
9564 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
9565 [Steve Henson]
9566
9567 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
9568 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
9569 [Richard Levitte]
9570
9571 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
9572 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
9573 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
9574 features.
9575 [Steve Henson]
9576
9577 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
9578 [Ulf Möller]
9579
9580 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
9581 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
9582 but no ssl client purpose.
9583 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
9584
9585 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
9586 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
9587 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
9588 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
9589 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
9590 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
9591 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
9592 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
9593 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
9594 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
9595 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
9596 [Steve Henson]
9597
9598 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
9599 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
9600 be obtained from the error queue.
9601 [Bodo Moeller]
9602
9603 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
9604 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
9605 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
9606 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
9607 [Bodo Moeller]
9608
9609 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
9610 [Ulf Möller]
9611
9612 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
9613 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
9614 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
9615 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
9616 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
9617 [Geoff Thorpe]
9618
9619 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
9620 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
9621 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
9622 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
9623 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
9624 [Geoff Thorpe]
9625
9626 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
9627 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
9628 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
9629 may not be NULL.
9630 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
9631
9632 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
9633 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
9634 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
9635 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
9636 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
9637 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
9638 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
9639 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
9640 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
9641 or "the configuration storage API"...
9642
9643 The new configuration file reading functions are:
9644
9645 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
9646 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
9647
9648 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
9649
9650 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
9651
9652 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
9653 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
9654 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
9655 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
9656 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
9657 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
9658 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
9659
9660 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
9661 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
9662 [Richard Levitte]
9663
9664 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
9665 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
9666 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
9667 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
9668 [Bodo Moeller]
9669
9670 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
9671 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
9672 them in a portable way.
9673 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
9674
9675 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
9676
9677 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
9678
9679 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
9680 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
9681
9682 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
9683 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
9684 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
9685 <attili@amaxo.com>]
9686
9687 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
9688 was larger than the MD block size.
9689 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
9690
9691 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
9692 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
9693 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
9694 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
9695 components.
9696 [Steve Henson]
9697
9698 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
9699 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
9700 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
9701
9702 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
9703 discouraged.
9704 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
9705
9706 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
9707 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
9708 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
9709 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
9710 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
9711 Additional arguments are always ignored.
9712
9713 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
9714 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
9715
9716 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
9717 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
9718 [Bodo Moeller]
9719
9720 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
9721 [Bodo Moeller]
9722
9723 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
9724 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
9725 its own key.
9726 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
9727 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
9728 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
9729 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
9730 [Bodo Moeller]
9731
9732 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
9733 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
9734 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
9735 does not suppress any output.
9736 [Richard Levitte]
9737
9738 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
9739 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
9740 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
9741 with all the associated security issues.
9742
9743 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
9744 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
9745 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
9746 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
9747 use the value in the default purpose.
9748 [Steve Henson]
9749
9750 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
9751 and fix a memory leak.
9752 [Steve Henson]
9753
9754 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
9755 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
9756 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
9757 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
9758 [Bodo Moeller]
9759
9760 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
9761 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
9762 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
9763 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
9764 [Bodo Moeller]
9765
9766 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
9767 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
9768 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
9769 [Bodo Moeller]
9770
9771 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
9772 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
9773 [Bodo Moeller]
9774
9775 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
9776 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
9777 which was free.
9778 [Steve Henson]
9779
9780 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
9781 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
9782 [Bodo Moeller]
9783
9784 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
9785 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
9786 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
9787 [Bodo Moeller]
9788
9789 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
9790 number generation fails.
9791 [Bodo Moeller]
9792
9793 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
9794 [Bodo Moeller]
9795
9796 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
9797 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
9798
9799 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
9800 [Ulf Möller]
9801
9802 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
9803 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
9804
9805 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
9806 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
9807
9808 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
9809
9810 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
9811 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
9812 [Steve Henson]
9813
9814 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
9815 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
9816
9817 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
9818 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
9819 [Ulf Möller]
9820
9821 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
9822 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
9823 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
9824 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
9825 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
9826 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
9827
9828 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
9829 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
9830 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
9831 for example.
9832 [Steve Henson]
9833
9834 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
9835 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
9836 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
9837 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
9838 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
9839 counter, some don't.)
9840 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
9841 counters or duplicate objects.
9842 [Steve Henson]
9843
9844 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
9845 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
9846 [Steve Henson]
9847
9848 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
9849 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
9850 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
9851
9852 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
9853 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
9854 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
9855 or -rand.
9856 [Ulf Möller]
9857
9858 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
9859 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
9860 [Steve Henson]
9861
9862 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
9863 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
9864 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
9865 cipher list.
9866 [Steve Henson]
9867
9868 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
9869 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
9870 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
9871 [Steve Henson]
9872
9873 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
9874 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
9875 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
9876 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
9877 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
9878 should work without changes.
9879 [Richard Levitte]
9880
9881 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
9882 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
9883 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
9884 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
9885 must be defined. E.g.,
9886 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
9887 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
9888 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
9889 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
9890
9891 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
9892 record layer.
9893 [Bodo Moeller]
9894
9895 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
9896 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
9897 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
9898 [Steve Henson]
9899
9900 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
9901 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
9902 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
9903 request header lines. Some software needs this.
9904 [Steve Henson]
9905
9906 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
9907 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
9908 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
9909 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
9910 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
9911 is prompted for as usual.
9912 [Steve Henson]
9913
9914 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
9915 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
9916 autodetect the card and use it if present.
9917 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
9918
9919 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
9920 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
9921 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
9922 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
9923 [Steve Henson]
9924
9925 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
9926 [Andy Polyakov]
9927
9928 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
9929 of seed file.
9930 [Steve Henson]
9931
9932 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
9933 [Bodo Moeller]
9934
9935 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
9936 [Steve Henson]
9937
9938 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
9939 bits.
9940 [Ulf Möller]
9941
9942 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
9943 [Ulf Möller]
9944
9945 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
9946 [Andy Polyakov]
9947
9948 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
9949 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
9950 [Ulf Möller]
9951
9952 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
9953 options to produce them.
9954 [Steve Henson]
9955
9956 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
9957 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
9958 [Ulf Möller]
9959
9960 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
9961 for p == 0.
9962 [Ulf Möller]
9963
9964 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
9965 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
9966 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
9967 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
9968 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
9969 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
9970 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
9971 [Steve Henson]
9972
9973 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
9974 [Steve Henson]
9975
9976 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
9977 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
9978 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
9979 [Bodo Moeller]
9980
9981 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
9982 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
9983
9984 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
9985 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
9986 [Ulf Möller]
9987
9988 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
9989 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
9990 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
9991 has already seen).
9992 [Bodo Moeller]
9993
9994 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
9995 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
9996
9997 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
9998 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
9999 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
10000 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
10001 generation becomes much faster.
10002
10003 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
10004 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
10005 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
10006 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
10007 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
10008 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
10009 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
10010 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
10011 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
10012 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
10013 [Bodo Moeller]
10014
10015 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
10016 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
10017 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
10018 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
10019 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
10020 trial division stage.
10021 [Bodo Moeller]
10022
10023 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
10024 as ASN1_TIME.
10025 [Steve Henson]
10026
10027 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
10028 [Steve Henson]
10029
10030 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
10031 [Ulf Möller]
10032
10033 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
10034 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
10035 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
10036 the comments.
10037 [Ulf Möller]
10038
10039 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
10040 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
10041 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
10042 [Bodo Moeller]
10043
10044 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
10045 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
10046 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
10047 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
10048
10049 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
10050 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
10051 [Steve Henson]
10052
10053 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
10054 [Ulf Möller]
10055
10056 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
10057 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
10058 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
10059 Rabin-Miller iterations.
10060 [Ulf Möller]
10061
10062 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
10063 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
10064 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
10065 [Ulf Möller]
10066
10067 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
10068 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
10069 (instead of parameters) in future.
10070 [Steve Henson]
10071
10072 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
10073 when a new cipher list is set.
10074 [Steve Henson]
10075
10076 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
10077 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
10078 wrong.
10079
10080 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
10081 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
10082 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
10083
10084 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
10085 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
10086 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
10087 an error is flagged.
10088
10089 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
10090 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
10091 the readability was also increased :-)
10092 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10093
10094 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
10095 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
10096 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
10097 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
10098 as the root CA.
10099 [Steve Henson]
10100
10101 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
10102 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
10103 [Steve Henson]
10104
10105 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
10106 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
10107 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
10108 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
10109 instead.
10110
10111 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
10112 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
10113 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
10114 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
10115 because they handle more complex structures.)
10116 [Steve Henson]
10117
10118 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
10119 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
10120 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
10121 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10122
10123 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
10124 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
10125 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
10126 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
10127 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
10128 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
10129 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
10130 [Ulf Möller]
10131
10132 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
10133 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
10134 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
10135 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
10136 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
10137 [Bodo Moeller]
10138
10139 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
10140 [Bodo Moeller]
10141
10142 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
10143 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
10144 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
10145 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
10146 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
10147 to use this.
10148
10149 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
10150 code.
10151 [Steve Henson]
10152
10153 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
10154 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
10155 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
10156 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
10157 [Steve Henson]
10158
10159 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
10160 [Ulf Möller]
10161
10162 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
10163 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
10164 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
10165 international characters are used.
10166
10167 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
10168 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
10169 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
10170 in ASN1 order.
10171 [Steve Henson]
10172
10173 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
10174 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
10175 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
10176 request.
10177
10178 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
10179 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
10180 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
10181 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
10182 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
10183 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
10184
10185 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
10186 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
10187 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
10188 be handled by the string table functions.
10189
10190 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
10191 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
10192 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
10193 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
10194 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
10195 types at all.
10196 [Steve Henson]
10197
10198 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
10199 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
10200 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
10201 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
10202 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
10203
10204 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
10205 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
10206 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
10207 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
10208 [Bodo Moeller]
10209
10210 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
10211 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
10212 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
10213 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
10214 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
10215 SHA1.
10216 [Andy Polyakov]
10217
10218 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
10219 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
10220 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
10221 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
10222 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
10223 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
10224 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
10225 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
10226
10227 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
10228 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
10229 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
10230 [Steve Henson]
10231
10232 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
10233 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
10234 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
10235 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
10236 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
10237 support to pkcs8 application.
10238 [Steve Henson]
10239
10240 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
10241 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
10242 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
10243 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
10244 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
10245 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
10246 [Bodo Moeller]
10247
10248 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
10249 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
10250 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
10251 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
10252 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
10253 consistency.
10254 [Bodo Moeller]
10255
10256 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
10257 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
10258 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
10259 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
10260 example.
10261 [Steve Henson]
10262
10263 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
10264 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
10265 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
10266 and any application specific purposes.
10267
10268 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
10269 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
10270 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
10271 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
10272 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
10273 if the certificate is self signed.
10274 [Steve Henson]
10275
10276 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
10277 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
10278 [Steve Henson]
10279
10280 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
10281 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
10282 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
10283 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
10284 [Steve Henson]
10285
10286 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
10287 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
10288 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
10289 Update documentation.
10290 [Steve Henson]
10291
10292 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
10293 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
10294 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
10295 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
10296 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
10297 [Steve Henson]
10298
10299 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
10300 for details.
10301 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
10302
10303 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
10304 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
10305 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
10306 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
10307 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
10308 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
10309 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
10310 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
10311 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
10312 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
10313
10314 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
10315
10316 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10317 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10318 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
10319 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
10320 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
10321
10322 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
10323 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
10324 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
10325 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
10326 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
10327 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
10328 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
10329 request additional information:
10330 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
10331 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
10332
10333 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
10334 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
10335 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
10336 options.
10337
10338 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
10339 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
10340
10341 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
10342 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
10343 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
10344
10345 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
10346 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
10347
10348 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
10349 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
10350 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
10351 algorithm.
10352 [Steve Henson]
10353
10354 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
10355 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
10356 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
10357
10358 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
10359 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
10360 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
10361 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
10362 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
10363 included in OpenSSL.
10364 [Steve Henson]
10365
10366 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
10367 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
10368 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
10369 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
10370 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
10371 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
10372 [Bodo Moeller]
10373
10374 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
10375 PKCS12 structure.
10376 [Steve Henson]
10377
10378 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
10379 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
10380 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
10381 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
10382 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
10383 structure.
10384 [Steve Henson]
10385
10386 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
10387 need initialising.
10388 [Steve Henson]
10389
10390 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
10391 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
10392 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
10393 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
10394 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
10395 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
10396 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
10397 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
10398 be maintained manually.
10399
10400 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
10401 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
10402 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
10403 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
10404 work because people forget to call this function]
10405 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
10406 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
10407 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
10408 [Steve Henson]
10409
10410 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
10411 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
10412 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
10413 should be discouraged from doing it.
10414 [Ben Laurie]
10415
10416 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
10417 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
10418 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
10419 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
10420 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
10421 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
10422 [Steve Henson]
10423
10424 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
10425 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
10426 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
10427
10428 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
10429 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
10430 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
10431
10432 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
10433 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
10434 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
10435 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
10436 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
10437 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
10438
10439 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
10440 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
10441 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
10442
10443 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
10444 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
10445 and vice versa.
10446
10447 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
10448 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
10449 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
10450 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
10451 [Steve Henson]
10452
10453 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
10454 [Steve Henson]
10455
10456 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
10457 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
10458 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
10459 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
10460 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
10461 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
10462 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
10463 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
10464 keys so we should be OK.
10465
10466 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
10467 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
10468 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
10469 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
10470 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
10471 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
10472 stay in the name of compatibility.
10473
10474 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
10475 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
10476 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
10477
10478 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
10479 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
10480 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
10481 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
10482 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
10483 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
10484 supplied key).
10485 [Steve Henson]
10486
10487 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
10488 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
10489 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
10490 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
10491 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
10492 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
10493 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
10494 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
10495 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
10496 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
10497 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
10498 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
10499 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
10500 [Steve Henson]
10501
10502 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
10503 [Steve Henson]
10504
10505 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
10506 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
10507 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
10508 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
10509 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
10510 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
10511 single self signed certificate. This means that:
10512 openssl verify ss.pem
10513 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
10514 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
10515 is OK.
10516 [Steve Henson]
10517
10518 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
10519 (and add it to external session representation).
10520 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
10521 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
10522 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
10523 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
10524 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
10525 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
10526 security holes.
10527 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
10528
10529 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
10530 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
10531 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
10532 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
10533
10534 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
10535 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
10536 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
10537 [Steve Henson]
10538
10539 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
10540 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
10541 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
10542 code.
10543 [Steve Henson]
10544
10545 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
10546 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
10547 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
10548
10549 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
10550 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
10551 certificate auxiliary information.
10552 [Steve Henson]
10553
10554 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
10555 the 'enc' command.
10556 [Steve Henson]
10557
10558 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
10559 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
10560 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
10561 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
10562 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
10563 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
10564 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
10565 [Richard Levitte]
10566
10567 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
10568 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
10569 [Steve Henson]
10570
10571 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
10572 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
10573 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
10574 manpages and fix a few bugs.
10575 [Steve Henson]
10576
10577 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
10578 [Steve Henson]
10579
10580 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
10581 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
10582 [Steve Henson]
10583
10584 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
10585 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
10586 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
10587 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
10588 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
10589 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
10590 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
10591 using the new 'x509' options.
10592
10593 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
10594 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
10595 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
10596 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
10597 for all purposes.
10598 [Steve Henson]
10599
10600 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
10601 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
10602 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
10603 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
10604 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
10605 [Mark Cox]
10606
10607 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
10608 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
10609 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
10610 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
10611 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
10612 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
10613 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
10614 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
10615 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
10616 the key length and effective key length are equal.
10617 [Steve Henson]
10618
10619 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
10620 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
10621 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
10622 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
10623 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
10624 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
10625 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
10626 [Steve Henson]
10627
10628 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
10629 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
10630 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
10631 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
10632 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
10633 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
10634 openssl.cnf for more info.
10635 [Steve Henson]
10636
10637 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
10638 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
10639 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
10640 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
10641 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
10642 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
10643 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
10644 md should be large enough anyway.
10645 [Bodo Moeller]
10646
10647 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
10648 for handling the random seed file.
10649
10650 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
10651 ca,
10652 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
10653 s_client,
10654 s_server,
10655 x509 (when signing).
10656 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
10657 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
10658 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
10659
10660 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
10661 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
10662 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
10663 that support '-rand'.
10664 [Bodo Moeller]
10665
10666 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
10667 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
10668 [Bodo Moeller]
10669
10670 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
10671 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
10672 [Bill Perry]
10673
10674 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
10675 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
10676 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
10677 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
10678 is suitable.
10679 [Steve Henson]
10680
10681 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
10682 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
10683 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
10684 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
10685 [Steve Henson]
10686
10687 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
10688 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
10689 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
10690 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
10691 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
10692 print out all the purposes.
10693 [Steve Henson]
10694
10695 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
10696 functions.
10697 [Steve Henson]
10698
10699 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
10700 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
10701 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
10702 single function call.
10703 [Steve Henson]
10704
10705 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
10706 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
10707 [Andy Polyakov]
10708
10709 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
10710 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
10711 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
10712 [Steve Henson]
10713
10714 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
10715 when producing the local key id.
10716 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10717
10718 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
10719 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
10720 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
10721 "server.pem".
10722 [Steve Henson]
10723
10724 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
10725 a public key to be input or output. For example:
10726 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
10727 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
10728 [Steve Henson]
10729
10730 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
10731 in the message. This was handled by allowing
10732 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
10733 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
10734
10735 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
10736 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
10737 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
10738 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10739
10740 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
10741 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
10742 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
10743 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
10744 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
10745 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
10746 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
10747 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
10748 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
10749 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
10750 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
10751 trivial: move one line.
10752 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
10753
10754 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
10755 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
10756 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
10757 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
10758 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
10759 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
10760 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
10761 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
10762 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
10763 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
10764 with an event loop for example.
10765 [Steve Henson]
10766
10767 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
10768 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
10769 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
10770 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
10771 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
10772 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
10773 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
10774 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
10775 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
10776 [Steve Henson]
10777
10778 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
10779 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
10780 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
10781 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
10782 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
10783 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
10784 [Steve Henson]
10785
10786 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
10787 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
10788 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
10789 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
10790
10791 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
10792 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
10793 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
10794 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
10795 key generation.
10796 [Steve Henson]
10797
10798 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
10799 (still largely untested)
10800 [Bodo Moeller]
10801
10802 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
10803 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
10804 [Steve Henson]
10805
10806 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
10807 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
10808 [Steve Henson]
10809
10810 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
10811 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
10812 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
10813 [Bodo Moeller]
10814
10815 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
10816 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
10817 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
10818 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
10819 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
10820 [Steve Henson]
10821
10822 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
10823 [Andy Polyakov]
10824
10825 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
10826 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
10827 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
10828 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
10829 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
10830 in ca.
10831 [Steve Henson]
10832
10833 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
10834 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
10835 1.OU="Unit name 1"
10836 2.OU="Unit name 2"
10837 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
10838 [Steve Henson]
10839
10840 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
10841 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
10842 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
10843 are otherwise ignored at present.
10844 [Steve Henson]
10845
10846 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
10847 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
10848 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
10849 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
10850 copied until the next read.
10851 [Steve Henson]
10852
10853 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
10854 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
10855 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
10856 [Steve Henson]
10857
10858 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
10859 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
10860 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
10861 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
10862 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
10863 associated functions.
10864 [Steve Henson]
10865
10866 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
10867 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
10868 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
10869 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
10870 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
10871 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
10872 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
10873 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
10874 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
10875 memory BIOs.
10876 [Steve Henson]
10877
10878 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
10879 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
10880 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
10881 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
10882 [Bodo Moeller]
10883
10884 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
10885 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
10886 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
10887 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
10888 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
10889 functionality.
10890 [Steve Henson]
10891
10892 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
10893 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
10894 under Win32.
10895 [Steve Henson]
10896
10897 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
10898 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
10899 extensions to be obtained and added.
10900 [Steve Henson]
10901
10902 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
10903 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
10904 [Bodo Moeller]
10905
10906 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
10907
10908 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
10909 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10910
10911 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
10912 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
10913
10914 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
10915 program.
10916 [Steve Henson]
10917
10918 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
10919 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
10920 DH parameters contain its length).
10921
10922 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
10923 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
10924 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
10925 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
10926 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
10927 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
10928 utter importance to use
10929 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10930 or
10931 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10932 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
10933 attacks may become possible!
10934 [Bodo Moeller]
10935
10936 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
10937 [Bodo Moeller]
10938
10939 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
10940 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
10941 [Steve Henson]
10942
10943 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
10944 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
10945 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
10946 or long name.
10947 [Steve Henson]
10948
10949 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
10950 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
10951 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
10952 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
10953 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
10954 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
10955 private key operations.
10956 [Steve Henson]
10957
10958 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
10959 [Andy Polyakov]
10960
10961 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
10962 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
10963 to
10964 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
10965 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
10966 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
10967 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
10968 the password callback is called.
10969 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
10970
10971 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
10972
10973 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
10974 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
10975 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
10976 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
10977 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
10978 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
10979 this will work.
10980
10981 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
10982 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
10983 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
10984 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
10985 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
10986 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
10987 [Bodo Moeller]
10988
10989 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
10990 [Andy Polyakov]
10991
10992 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
10993 delete an unused file.
10994 [Ulf Möller]
10995
10996 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
10997 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
10998 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
10999 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
11000 [Steve Henson]
11001
11002 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
11003 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
11004 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
11005 of an error.
11006 [Bodo Moeller]
11007
11008 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
11009 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
11010 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
11011
11012 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
11013 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
11014 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
11015 comparison" warnings.
11016 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
11017 [Steve Henson]
11018
11019 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
11020 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
11021 derived keys are printed to stderr.
11022 [Steve Henson]
11023
11024 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
11025 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
11026
11027 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
11028 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
11029
11030 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
11031 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
11032 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
11033
11034 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
11035 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
11036 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
11037 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
11038 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
11039 this bug.
11040 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
11041
11042 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
11043 The interface is as follows:
11044 Applications can use
11045 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
11046 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
11047 "off" is now the default.
11048 The library internally uses
11049 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
11050 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
11051 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
11052
11053 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
11054 even the default) are now avoided.
11055
11056 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
11057 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
11058 than just having a counter.
11059
11060 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
11061
11062 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
11063 extensions.
11064 [Bodo Moeller]
11065
11066 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
11067 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
11068 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
11069 Initial "mode" flags are:
11070
11071 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
11072 a single record has been written.
11073 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
11074 retries use the same buffer location.
11075 (But all of the contents must be
11076 copied!)
11077 [Bodo Moeller]
11078
11079 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
11080 worked.
11081
11082 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
11083 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
11084
11085 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
11086 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
11087 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
11088 [Steve Henson]
11089
11090 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
11091 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
11092 test programs.
11093 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
11094
11095 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
11096 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
11097 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
11098 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
11099 point to the end.
11100 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
11101 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
11102
11103 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
11104 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
11105 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
11106 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
11107 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
11108 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
11109 [Steve Henson]
11110
11111 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
11112 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
11113 necessary function names.
11114 [Steve Henson]
11115
11116 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
11117 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
11118 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
11119 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
11120 [Bodo Moeller]
11121
11122 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
11123 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
11124 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
11125 [Steve Henson]
11126
11127 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
11128 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
11129 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
11130 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
11131 such programs?)
11132 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
11133 need locks.
11134 [Bodo Moeller]
11135
11136 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
11137 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
11138 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
11139 [Bodo Moeller]
11140
11141 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
11142 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
11143 appropriate.
11144 [Bodo Moeller]
11145
11146 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
11147 for the encoded length.
11148 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
11149
11150 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
11151 [Steve Henson]
11152
11153 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
11154 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
11155 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
11156 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
11157 [Steve Henson]
11158
11159 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
11160 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
11161 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11162
11163 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
11164 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
11165 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
11166 unusual formatting.
11167 [Steve Henson]
11168
11169 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
11170 to use the new extension code.
11171 [Steve Henson]
11172
11173 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
11174 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
11175 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
11176 constant.
11177 [Steve Henson]
11178
11179 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
11180 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
11181 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
11182 [Bodo Moeller]
11183
11184 #if 0
11185 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
11186 [Ben Laurie]
11187 #else
11188 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
11189 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
11190 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
11191 #endif
11192
11193 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
11194 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
11195 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
11196 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
11197 [Ben Laurie]
11198
11199 *) DES library cleanups.
11200 [Ulf Möller]
11201
11202 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
11203 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
11204 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
11205 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
11206 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
11207 of v2.0.
11208 [Steve Henson]
11209
11210 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
11211 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
11212 [Bodo Moeller]
11213
11214 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
11215 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
11216 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
11217 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
11218 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
11219 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
11220 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
11221 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
11222 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
11223 [Steve Henson]
11224
11225 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
11226 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
11227 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
11228 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
11229 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
11230 value doesn't matter.
11231 [Steve Henson]
11232
11233 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
11234 support mutable.
11235 [Ben Laurie]
11236
11237 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
11238 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
11239 "linux-sparc" configuration.
11240 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
11241
11242 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
11243 [Ulf Möller]
11244
11245 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
11246 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
11247 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11248
11249 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
11250 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11251
11252 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
11253 [Ben Laurie]
11254
11255 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
11256 [Ben Laurie]
11257
11258 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
11259 [Ben Laurie]
11260
11261 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
11262 [Bodo Moeller]
11263
11264
11265 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
11266
11267 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
11268
11269 *) Updated some demos.
11270 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
11271
11272 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
11273 [Wu Zhigang]
11274
11275 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
11276 [Steve Henson]
11277
11278 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
11279 [Steve Henson]
11280
11281 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
11282 instead of using a fixed path.
11283 [Bodo Moeller]
11284
11285 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
11286 [Andy Polyakov]
11287
11288 *) Improvements for VMS support.
11289 [Richard Levitte]
11290
11291
11292 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
11293
11294 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
11295 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
11296 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11297
11298 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
11299 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
11300 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
11301 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
11302 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
11303 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
11304 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
11305 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
11306 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
11307 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
11308 [Steve Henson]
11309
11310 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
11311 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
11312 [Steve Henson]
11313
11314 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
11315 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
11316 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
11317 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
11318 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
11319
11320 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
11321 [Bodo Moeller]
11322
11323 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
11324 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
11325 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
11326 [Steve Henson]
11327
11328 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
11329 [Ben Laurie]
11330
11331 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
11332 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
11333 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
11334 key elements as negative integers.
11335 [Steve Henson]
11336
11337 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
11338 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11339
11340 *) VMS support.
11341 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
11342
11343 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
11344 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
11345 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
11346 [Steve Henson]
11347
11348 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
11349 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
11350 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
11351 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
11352 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
11353 [Bodo Moeller]
11354
11355 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
11356 [Ulf Möller]
11357
11358 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
11359 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
11360 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
11361 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11362
11363 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
11364 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
11365 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
11366
11367 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
11368 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
11369 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
11370 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
11371 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
11372 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
11373 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
11374 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
11375 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
11376
11377 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
11378 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
11379 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
11380 does not influence s as it used to.
11381
11382 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
11383 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
11384 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
11385 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
11386 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
11387 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
11388 [Bodo Moeller]
11389
11390 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
11391 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
11392 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
11393 key type.
11394 [Steve Henson]
11395
11396 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
11397 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
11398 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
11399 and 'x509').
11400 [Steve Henson]
11401
11402 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
11403 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
11404 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
11405 extension option.
11406 [Steve Henson]
11407
11408 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
11409 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
11410 [Ben Laurie]
11411
11412 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
11413 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11414
11415 *) Support Mingw32.
11416 [Ulf Möller]
11417
11418 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
11419 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11420
11421 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
11422 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11423
11424 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
11425 [Ulf Möller]
11426
11427 *) Update HPUX configuration.
11428 [Anonymous]
11429
11430 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
11431 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11432
11433 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
11434 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
11435 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
11436 DER-encoded.)
11437 [Bodo Moeller]
11438
11439 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
11440 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
11441 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
11442 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
11443 now it really counts the depth.
11444 [Bodo Moeller]
11445
11446 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
11447 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
11448 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
11449 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
11450 didn't match the private key).
11451
11452 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
11453 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
11454 connection using the SSL_CTX).
11455 [Bodo Moeller]
11456
11457 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
11458 [Ulf Möller]
11459
11460 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
11461 David Harris.
11462 [Bodo Moeller]
11463
11464 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
11465 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
11466 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
11467 [Bodo Moeller]
11468
11469 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
11470 [Bodo Moeller]
11471
11472 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
11473 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
11474 such as /usr/local/bin.
11475 [Bodo Moeller]
11476
11477 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
11478 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11479
11480 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
11481 [Ulf Möller]
11482
11483 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
11484 extension adding in x509 utility.
11485 [Steve Henson]
11486
11487 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
11488 [Ulf Möller]
11489
11490 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
11491 prototypes.
11492 [Steve Henson]
11493
11494 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
11495 [Ulf Möller]
11496
11497 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
11498 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
11499 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
11500 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
11501 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
11502 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
11503 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
11504 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
11505 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
11506 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
11507 [Steve Henson]
11508
11509 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
11510 [Bodo Moeller]
11511
11512 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
11513 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
11514 [Bodo Moeller]
11515
11516 *) Fix some race conditions.
11517 [Bodo Moeller]
11518
11519 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
11520 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
11521 [Steve Henson]
11522
11523 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
11524 [Ulf Möller]
11525
11526 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
11527 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
11528 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
11529 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
11530
11531 *) Fix lots of warnings.
11532 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11533
11534 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
11535 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
11536 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11537
11538 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
11539 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11540
11541 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
11542 [Ulf Möller]
11543
11544 *) Fix typos in error codes.
11545 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
11546
11547 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
11548 [Ulf Möller]
11549
11550 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
11551 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11552
11553 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
11554 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
11555 [Steve Henson]
11556
11557 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
11558 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
11559 [Ben Laurie]
11560
11561 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
11562 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
11563 [Steve Henson]
11564
11565 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
11566 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
11567 [Steve Henson]
11568
11569 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
11570 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
11571 [Steve Henson]
11572
11573 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
11574 support typesafe stack.
11575 [Steve Henson]
11576
11577 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
11578 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
11579
11580 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
11581 old X509V3 handling code.
11582 [Steve Henson]
11583
11584 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
11585 [Ulf Möller]
11586
11587 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
11588 [Bodo Moeller]
11589
11590 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
11591 [Ben Laurie]
11592
11593 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
11594 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
11595
11596 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
11597 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
11598 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
11599 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
11600 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
11601 [Ben Laurie]
11602
11603 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
11604 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
11605 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
11606 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
11607 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
11608
11609 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
11610 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
11611 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
11612 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11613
11614 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
11615 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
11616 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
11617 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11618
11619 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
11620 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
11621 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
11622 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
11623 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
11624 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
11625 [Bodo Moeller]
11626
11627 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
11628 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
11629 [Bodo Moeller]
11630
11631 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
11632 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
11633 [Ulf Möller]
11634
11635 *) Tweaks to Configure
11636 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11637
11638 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
11639 yet...
11640 [Steve Henson]
11641
11642 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
11643 [Ulf Möller]
11644
11645 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
11646 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
11647 [Ulf Möller]
11648
11649 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
11650 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
11651 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
11652 [Bodo Moeller]
11653
11654 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
11655 [Bodo Moeller]
11656
11657 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
11658 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
11659 [Steve Henson]
11660
11661 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
11662 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
11663 to library startup routines.
11664 [Steve Henson]
11665
11666 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
11667 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
11668 codes along the way.
11669 [Steve Henson]
11670
11671 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
11672 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
11673 objects to objects.h
11674 [Steve Henson]
11675
11676 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
11677 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
11678 [Steve Henson]
11679
11680 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
11681 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
11682
11683 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
11684 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
11685 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
11686
11687 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
11688 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11689 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11690
11691 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
11692 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
11693 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
11694
11695
11696 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
11697
11698 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
11699 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
11700 [Ben Laurie]
11701
11702 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
11703 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
11704 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
11705 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
11706 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
11707
11708 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
11709 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
11710 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
11711 document.
11712 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11713
11714 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
11715 Malloc, Free.
11716 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
11717
11718 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
11719 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11720
11721 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
11722 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
11723 if someone would make that last step automatic.
11724 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
11725
11726 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
11727 [Ben Laurie]
11728
11729 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
11730 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
11731 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
11732 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
11733 [Steve Henson]
11734
11735 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
11736 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
11737 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
11738 [Steve Henson]
11739
11740 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
11741 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
11742 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
11743 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
11744 installed as `perl').
11745 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11746
11747 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
11748 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11749
11750 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
11751 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
11752 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
11753 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
11754 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
11755 [Steve Henson]
11756
11757 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
11758 [Ben Laurie]
11759
11760 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
11761 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
11762 is horrible: I feel ill....
11763 [Steve Henson]
11764
11765 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
11766 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
11767 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
11768 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
11769 [Steve Henson]
11770
11771 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
11772 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11773
11774 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
11775 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
11776 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
11777 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11778
11779 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
11780 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
11781 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
11782 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
11783 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
11784 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
11785 openssl_bio.xs.
11786 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11787
11788 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
11789 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11790
11791 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
11792 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
11793
11794 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
11795 [Ben Laurie]
11796
11797 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
11798 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
11799 in CRLs.
11800 [Steve Henson]
11801
11802 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
11803 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
11804 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
11805 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
11806 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
11807 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
11808 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
11809 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
11810 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
11811 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
11812 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11813
11814 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
11815 [Ben Laurie]
11816
11817 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
11818 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
11819 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
11820 for linking it into DSOs.
11821 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11822
11823 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
11824 Fixed.
11825 [Ben Laurie]
11826
11827 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
11828 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
11829 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
11830 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
11831 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
11832 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11833
11834 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
11835 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
11836 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
11837 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
11838 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
11839 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
11840 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11841
11842 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
11843 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
11844 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
11845 encryption.
11846 [Ben Laurie]
11847
11848 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
11849 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
11850 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
11851 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
11852 [Steve Henson]
11853
11854 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
11855 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
11856 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
11857 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
11858 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
11859 field as blank.
11860 [Steve Henson]
11861
11862 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
11863 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
11864 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
11865 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
11866 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11867
11868 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
11869 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
11870 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11871
11872 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
11873 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11874
11875 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
11876 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
11877 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
11878 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
11879 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
11880 [Steve Henson]
11881
11882 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
11883 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
11884 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
11885 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
11886 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
11887 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
11888 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
11889 [Ben Laurie]
11890
11891 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
11892 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
11893 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
11894 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
11895 [Ben Laurie]
11896
11897 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
11898 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
11899
11900 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
11901 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
11902 [Steve Henson]
11903
11904 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
11905 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
11906 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
11907 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
11908 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
11909 (e.g. s_server).
11910 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
11911 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
11912 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
11913 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
11914 no way to reconfigure them.
11915 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
11916 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
11917 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
11918 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
11919 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
11920 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11921
11922 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
11923 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
11924 recognized by the users.
11925 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11926
11927 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
11928 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
11929 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
11930 already masked variable.
11931 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11932
11933 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
11934 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11935
11936 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
11937 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
11938 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
11939 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11940
11941 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
11942 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
11943 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11944
11945 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
11946 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
11947 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
11948 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
11949 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
11950 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
11951 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
11952 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
11953 now, too.
11954 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11955
11956 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
11957 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
11958 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11959
11960 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
11961 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
11962 config file.
11963 [Steve Henson]
11964
11965 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
11966 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11967
11968 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
11969 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
11970 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
11971 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
11972 [Ben Laurie]
11973
11974 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
11975 [Steve Henson]
11976
11977 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
11978 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11979
11980 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
11981 [Ben Laurie]
11982
11983 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
11984 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
11985 [Steve Henson]
11986
11987 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
11988 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
11989 [Steve Henson]
11990
11991 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
11992 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
11993 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
11994 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
11995 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
11996 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
11997 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
11998 Ben Laurie]
11999
12000 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
12001 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12002
12003 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
12004 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
12005 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
12006 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
12007 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12008
12009 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
12010 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
12011 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
12012 [Steve Henson]
12013
12014 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
12015 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
12016 an example.
12017 [Steve Henson]
12018
12019 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
12020 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
12021 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12022
12023 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
12024 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
12025 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
12026 build instructions.
12027 [Steve Henson]
12028
12029 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
12030 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
12031 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
12032 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
12033 [Steve Henson]
12034
12035 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
12036 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
12037 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
12038 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
12039 [Ben Laurie]
12040
12041 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
12042 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
12043 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
12044 so it wasn't spotted.
12045 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
12046
12047 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
12048 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
12049 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
12050 vectors if you have them.
12051 [Ben Laurie]
12052
12053 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
12054 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
12055 [Ben Laurie]
12056
12057 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
12058 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
12059 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
12060 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
12061 If you do a:
12062 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
12063 it will update them.
12064 [Steve Henson]
12065
12066 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
12067 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
12068 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
12069 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
12070 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
12071 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
12072 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
12073 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12074
12075 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
12076 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
12077 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
12078 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
12079 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
12080 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
12081 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
12082 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
12083 the crypto/md/ stuff).
12084 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12085
12086 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
12087 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
12088 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
12089 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
12090 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
12091 [Steve Henson]
12092
12093 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
12094 INTEGER code.
12095 [Steve Henson]
12096
12097 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
12098 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12099
12100 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
12101 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12102
12103 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
12104 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
12105 [Ben Laurie]
12106
12107 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
12108 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
12109
12110 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
12111 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
12112
12113 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
12114 [Steve Henson]
12115
12116 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
12117 few typos.
12118 [Steve Henson]
12119
12120 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
12121 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
12122 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
12123 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12124
12125 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12126 [Steve Henson]
12127
12128 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12129 [Steve Henson]
12130
12131 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
12132 [Steve Henson]
12133
12134 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
12135 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
12136 [Steve Henson]
12137
12138 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
12139 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
12140 CA extensions.
12141 [Steve Henson]
12142
12143 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
12144 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
12145 [Steve Henson]
12146
12147 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
12148 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
12149 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
12150 [Steve Henson]
12151
12152 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
12153 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
12154 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
12155 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
12156 properly to be processed.
12157 [Steve Henson]
12158
12159 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
12160 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
12161 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
12162 [Ben Laurie]
12163
12164 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
12165 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
12166
12167 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
12168 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
12169 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
12170 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
12171 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
12172 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
12173 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
12174 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
12175 or delete all the .err files.
12176 [Steve Henson]
12177
12178 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
12179 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
12180 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
12181 to regenerate it if needed.
12182 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
12183 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
12184
12185 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
12186 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12187
12188 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
12189 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
12190 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
12191 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
12192 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
12193 [Steve Henson]
12194
12195 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
12196 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12197
12198 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
12199 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12200
12201 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
12202 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
12203 error, but didn't set one).
12204 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12205
12206 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
12207 [Ben Laurie]
12208
12209 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
12210 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
12211 [Steve Henson]
12212
12213 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
12214 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
12215
12216 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
12217 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
12218 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
12219 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
12220 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
12221 OID is not part of the table.
12222 [Steve Henson]
12223
12224 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
12225 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
12226 [Ben Laurie]
12227
12228 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
12229 [Ben Laurie]
12230
12231 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
12232 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
12233 was "1234").
12234 [Steve Henson]
12235
12236 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
12237 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
12238
12239 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
12240 NULL pointers.
12241 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12242
12243 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
12244 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12245
12246 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
12247 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12248
12249 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
12250 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12251
12252 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
12253 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
12254 [Ben Laurie]
12255
12256 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
12257 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
12258 [Steve Henson]
12259
12260 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
12261 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12262
12263 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
12264 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12265
12266 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
12267 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12268
12269 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
12270 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12271
12272 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
12273 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
12274 unused in the certificate verification process.
12275 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12276
12277 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
12278 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
12279 [Steve Henson]
12280
12281 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
12282 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
12283 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
12284
12285 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
12286 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
12287 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
12288 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
12289 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
12290
12291 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
12292 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
12293 [Steve Henson]
12294
12295 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
12296 [Steve Henson]
12297
12298 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
12299 [Paul Sutton]
12300
12301 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
12302 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
12303
12304 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
12305 [Ben Laurie]
12306
12307 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
12308 [Ben Laurie]
12309
12310 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
12311 [Ben Laurie]
12312
12313 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
12314 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
12315 other error libraries.
12316 [Steve Henson]
12317
12318 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
12319 [Steve Henson]
12320
12321 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
12322 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
12323 be read in.
12324 [Steve Henson]
12325
12326 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
12327 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
12328 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
12329 the new set of documentation files.
12330 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12331
12332 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
12333 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
12334 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
12335 number of arguments.
12336 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
12337
12338 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
12339 [Ben Laurie]
12340
12341 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
12342 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
12343 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12344
12345 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
12346 [Ben Laurie]
12347
12348 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
12349 nextstep
12350 ncr-scde
12351 unixware-2.0
12352 unixware-2.0-pentium
12353 sco5-cc.
12354 [Ben Laurie]
12355
12356 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
12357 before they are needed.
12358 [Ben Laurie]
12359
12360 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
12361 [Ben Laurie]
12362
12363
12364 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
12365
12366 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
12367 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
12368 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12369
12370 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
12371 [Paul Sutton]
12372
12373 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
12374 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
12375 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12376
12377 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
12378 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
12379 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
12380
12381 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
12382 when "ssleay" is still not found.
12383 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12384
12385 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
12386 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
12387
12388 *) Updated the README file.
12389 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12390
12391 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
12392 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
