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

1279 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
1280
1281 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
1282
1283 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
1284 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
1285 AES-NI.
1286
1287 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
1288 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
1289 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
1290 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
1291 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
1292 bytes.
1293
1294 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
1295 (CVE-2016-2107)
1296 [Kurt Roeckx]
1297
1298 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
1299
1300 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
1301 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
1302 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
1303 corruption.
1304
1305 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
1306 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
1307 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
1308 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
1309 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
1310 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
1311
1312 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1313 (CVE-2016-2105)
1314 [Matt Caswell]
1315
1316 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
1317
1318 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
1319 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
1320 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
1321 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
1322 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
1323 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
1324 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
1325 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
1326 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
1327 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
1328 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
1329 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
1330 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
1331 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
1332 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
1333 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
1334
1335 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1336 (CVE-2016-2106)
1337 [Matt Caswell]
1338
1339 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
1340
1341 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
1342 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
1343 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
1344
1345 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
1346 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
1347 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
1348 applications are not affected.
1349
1350 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
1351 (CVE-2016-2109)
1352 [Stephen Henson]
1353
1354 *) EBCDIC overread
1355
1356 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
1357 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
1358 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
1359
1360 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1361 (CVE-2016-2176)
1362 [Matt Caswell]
1363
1364 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1365 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1366 [Todd Short]
1367
1368 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
1369 default.
1370 [Kurt Roeckx]
1371
1372 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
1373 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
1374 [Kurt Roeckx]
1375
1376 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
1377
1378 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
1379 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
1380 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
1381 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1382
1383 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
1384 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
1385 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
1386 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
1387 will need to explicitly call either of:
1388
1389 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1390 or
1391 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1392
1393 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
1394 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
1395 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
1396 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
1397 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
1398 (CVE-2016-0800)
1399 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1400
1401 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
1402
1403 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
1404 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
1405 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
1406 considered rare.
1407
1408 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
1409 libFuzzer.
1410 (CVE-2016-0705)
1411 [Stephen Henson]
1412
1413 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
1414
1415 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
1416
1417 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1418 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
1419 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
1420 is configured.
1421
1422 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1423 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1424 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1425 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1426 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1427 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1428 that of a valid user.
1429 (CVE-2016-0798)
1430 [Emilia Käsper]
1431
1432 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
1433
1434 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
1435 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
1436 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
1437 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
1438 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
1439 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
1440 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
1441 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
1442 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
1443 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
1444 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
1445
1446 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
1447 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
1448 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
1449 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
1450 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
1451
1452 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
1453 (CVE-2016-0797)
1454 [Matt Caswell]
1455
1456 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
1457
1458 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
1459 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
1460 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
1461
1462 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
1463 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
1464 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
1465 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
1466 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
1467 also occur.
1468
1469 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
1470 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
1471 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
1472 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
1473 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
1474 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
1475 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
1476 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
1477 as command line arguments.
1478
1479 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
1480 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
1481 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
1482
1483 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.

1485 [Matt Caswell]
1486
1487 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
1488
1489 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
1490 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
1491 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
1492 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
1493 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
1494
1495 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
1496 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
1497 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
1498 http://cachebleed.info.

1508 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
1509 *) DH small subgroups
1510
1511 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
1512 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
1513 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
1514 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
1515 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
1516 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
1517 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
1518 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
1519 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
1520 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
1521
1522 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
1523 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
1524 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
1525 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
1526 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
1527
1528 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
1529 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
1530 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
1531 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
1532
1533 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
1534 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
1535
1536 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
1537 (CVE-2016-0701)
1538 [Matt Caswell]
1539
1540 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
1541
1542 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
1543 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
1544 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
1545 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.
1546
1547 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram
1548 and Sebastian Schinzel.

1552 Changes between 1.0.2d and 1.0.2e [3 Dec 2015]
1553
1554 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1555
1556 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1557 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1558 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1559 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1560 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1561 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1562 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1563 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1564 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1565 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1566 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1567 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

1570 (CVE-2015-3193)
1571 [Andy Polyakov]
1572
1573 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
1574
1575 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1576 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1577 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
1578 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
1579 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
1580 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
1581 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
1582 authentication.
1583
1584 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
1585 (CVE-2015-3194)
1586 [Stephen Henson]
1587
1588 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
1589
1590 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
1591 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
1592 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
1593 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
1594
1595 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
1596 libFuzzer.
1597 (CVE-2015-3195)
1598 [Stephen Henson]
1599
1600 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1601 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
1602 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
1603 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.

1610 Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
1611
1612 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
1613
1614 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
1615 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
1616 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
1617 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
1618 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
1619 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.

1632 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
1633
1634 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
1635
1636 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
1637 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
1638 field.
1639
1640 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
1641 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
1642 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
1643 client authentication enabled.
1644
1645 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
1646 (CVE-2015-1788)
1647 [Andy Polyakov]
1648
1649 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
1650
1651 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
1652 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
1653 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
1654 time string.
1655
1656 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
1657 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
1658 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
1659 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
1660 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
1661 callbacks.
1662
1663 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
1664 independently by Hanno Böck.
1665 (CVE-2015-1789)

1667
1668 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
1669
1670 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
1671 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
1672 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1673
1674 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
1675 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
1676 servers are not affected.

1680 [Emilia Käsper]
1681
1682 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
1683
1684 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
1685 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
1686 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
1687 the CMS code.

1706
1707 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
1708
1709 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
1710 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
1711 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
1712
1713 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
1714 University.
1715 (CVE-2015-0291)
1716 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
1717
1718 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
1719
1720 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
1721 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
1722 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
1723 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
1724 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
1725 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
1726 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
1727 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
1728
1729 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
1730 (CVE-2015-0290)
1731 [Matt Caswell]
1732
1733 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
1734
1735 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
1736 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
1737 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
1738 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
1739 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
1740 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
1741 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
1742 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
1743 server.
1744
1745 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
1746 (CVE-2015-0207)
1747 [Matt Caswell]
1748
1749 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
1750
1751 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
1752 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
1753 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
1754 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1755 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1756 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
1757 (CVE-2015-0286)
1758 [Stephen Henson]
1759
1760 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
1761
1762 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1763 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1764 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
1765 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
1766 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1767 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1768 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
1769
1770 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
1771 (CVE-2015-0208)
1772 [Stephen Henson]
1773
1774 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
1775
1776 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
1777 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
1778 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
1779
1780 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
1781 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
1782 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
1783 not affected.
1784 (CVE-2015-0287)
1785 [Stephen Henson]
1786
1787 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
1788
1789 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
1790 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
1791 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1792
1793 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
1794 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
1795 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
1796
1797 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
1798 (CVE-2015-0289)
1799 [Emilia Käsper]
1800
1801 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
1802
1803 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
1804 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
1805 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
1806
1807 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
1808 (OpenSSL development team).
1809 (CVE-2015-0293)
1810 [Emilia Käsper]
1811
1812 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
1813
1814 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
1815 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
1816 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
1817 (CVE-2015-1787)
1818 [Matt Caswell]
1819
1820 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
1821
1822 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
1823 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
1824 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
1825 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
1826 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
1827 SSL_client_methodv23)
1828 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
1829 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
1830
1831 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
1832 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
1833 output may be predictable.
1834
1835 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
1836 succeed on an unpatched platform:
1837
1838 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
1839 (CVE-2015-0285)
1840 [Matt Caswell]
1841
1842 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
1843
1844 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
1845 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
1846 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
1847 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
1848 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
1849 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
1850
1851 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
1852 commit 517073cd4b.

1854 [Matt Caswell]
1855
1856 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
1857
1858 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
1859 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
1860
1861 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.

1867
1868 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
1869
1870 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
1871 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
1872 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
1873 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
1874 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
1875 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
1876 [Andy Polyakov]
1877
1878 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
1879 (other platforms pending).

1883 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
1884 [Rob Stradling]
1885
1886 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1887 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1888 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1889 [Bodo Moeller]
1890
1891 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
1892 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
1893 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
1894 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
1895 [Andy Polyakov]
1896
1897 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
1898 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
1899
1900 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
1901 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
1902 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
1903 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
1904 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
1905
1906 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
1907 [Andy Polyakov]
1908
1909 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
1910 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
1911 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
1912 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
1913
1914 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
1915 RSAZ.
1916 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
1917
1918 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
1919 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
1920 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
1921 for TLS encrypt.
1922
1923 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
1924 [Andy Polyakov]
1925
1926 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
1927 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
1928 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
1929 [Steve Henson]
1930
1931 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1932 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1933 [Steve Henson]
1934
1935 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1936 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1937 [Steve Henson]
1938
1939 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1940 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1941 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1942 algorithms and include tests cases.
1943 [Steve Henson]
1944
1945 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
1946 structure.
1947 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
1948
1949 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
1950 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
1951 [Steve Henson]
1952
1953 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
1954 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
1955 summary of the connection parameters.
1956 [Steve Henson]
1957
1958 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
1959 of connection parameters.
1960 [Steve Henson]
1961
1962 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
1963 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
1964
1965 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
1966 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
1967 [Steve Henson]
1968
1969 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
1970 [Steve Henson]

1973 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
1974 [Steve Henson]
1975
1976 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
1977 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.

1979
1980 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
1981 certificates.
1982 [Steve Henson]
1983
1984 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
1985 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
1986 CRLs using the OCSP API.
1987 [Steve Henson]
1988
1989 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
1990 [Steve Henson]
1991
1992 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
1993 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
1994 [Steve Henson]
1995
1996 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
1997 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
1998 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
1999 tracing.
2000 [Steve Henson]
2001
2002 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
2003 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
2004 [Steve Henson]
2005
2006 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
2007 OID NID.
2008 [Steve Henson]
2009
2010 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
2011 client to OpenSSL.
2012 [Steve Henson]
2013
2014 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
2015 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
2016 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
2017 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
2018 [Steve Henson]
2019
2020 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
2021 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
2022 [Steve Henson]
2023
2024 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
2025 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
2026 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
2027 comparison.
2028 [Steve Henson]
2029
2030 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
2031 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
2032 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
2033 use the certificate.
2034 [Steve Henson]
2035
2036 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
2037 [Steve Henson]
2038
2039 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
2040 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
2041 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
2042 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
2043 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
2044 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
2045 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
2046
2047 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
2048 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
2049
2050 [Steve Henson]
2051
2052 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
2053 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
2054 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
2055 [Steve Henson]
2056
2057 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
2058 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
2059 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
2060 supported signature algorithms.
2061 [Steve Henson]
2062
2063 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
2064 [Steve Henson]
2065
2066 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
2067 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
2068 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
2069 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
2070 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
2071 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
2072 certificate and specify the whole chain.
2073 [Steve Henson]
2074
2075 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
2076 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
2077 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
2078 to have similar checks in it.
2079
2080 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
2081 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
2082 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
2083 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
2084 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
2085 [Steve Henson]
2086
2087 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
2088 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
2089 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
2090 shared signature algorithms.
2091 [Steve Henson]
2092
2093 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
2094 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
2095 to support them.
2096 [Steve Henson]
2097
2098 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
2099 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
2100 it couldn't be removed.
2101 [Steve Henson]
2102
2103 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
2104 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
2105 [Steve Henson]
2106
2107 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
2108 functions. Add manual page.
2109 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
2110
2111 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
2112 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
2113 a certificate.
2114 [Steve Henson]
2115
2116 *) Fix OCSP checking.
2117 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
2118
2119 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
2120 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
2121 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
2122 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
2123 utility) or reject.
2124 [Steve Henson]
2125
2126 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
2127 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
2128 [Steve Henson]
2129
2130 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
2131 platform support for Linux and Android.
2132 [Andy Polyakov]
2133
2134 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
2135 [Andy Polyakov]
2136
2137 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2138 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
2139 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
2140 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
2141 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
2142 [Steve Henson]
2143
2144 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
2145 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
2146 the new parameter format automatically.
2147 [Steve Henson]
2148
2149 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
2150 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
2151 [Steve Henson]
2152
2153 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
2154 [Steve Henson]
2155
2156 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
2157 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
2158 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
2159 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
2160 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
2161 [Steve Henson]
2162
2163 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
2164 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
2165 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
2166 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
2167 to set list of supported curves.
2168 [Steve Henson]
2169
2170 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
2171 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
2172 to print out received values.
2173 [Steve Henson]
2174
2175 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
2176 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
2177 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
2178 [Steve Henson]
2179
2180 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
2181 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
2182 [Steve Henson]
2183
2184 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
2185 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
2186 [Steve Henson]
2187
2188 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
2189 certificates.
2190 [Steve Henson]
2191
2192 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
2193 the certificate.
2194 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
2195 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
2196 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
2197
2198 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
2199
2200 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
2201 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
2202
2203 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
2204
2205 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
2206 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
2207 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
2208 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
2209 (CVE-2014-3571)
2210 [Steve Henson]
2211
2212 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
2213 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
2214 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
2215 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
2216 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
2217 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
2218 (CVE-2015-0206)
2219 [Matt Caswell]
2220
2221 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
2222 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
2223 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
2224 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
2225 (CVE-2014-3569)
2226 [Kurt Roeckx]
2227
2228 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
2229 ECDH ciphersuites.
2230
2231 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
2232 reporting this issue.
2233 (CVE-2014-3572)
2234 [Steve Henson]
2235
2236 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
2237 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
2238 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
2239 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
2240 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
2241 INRIA or reporting this issue.
2242 (CVE-2015-0204)
2243 [Steve Henson]
2244
2245 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
2246 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
2247 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
2248 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
2249 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
2250 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
2251 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
2252 this issue.
2253 (CVE-2015-0205)
2254 [Steve Henson]
2255
2256 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
2257 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
2258
2259 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
2260 and can vary with the CTX.
2261 [Adam Langley]
2262
2263 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
2264
2265 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
2266 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
2267 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
2268 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
2269 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
2270
2271 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
2272
2273 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
2274 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
2275
2276 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
2277
2278 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
2279 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
2280 errors for some broken certificates.
2281
2282 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
2283
2284 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
2285
2286 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
2287 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
2288
2289 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
2290 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
2291 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
2292 (negative or with leading zeroes).
2293
2294 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
2295 of the OpenSSL core team.
2296
2297 (CVE-2014-8275)
2298 [Steve Henson]
2299
2300 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
2301 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
2302 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
2303 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
2304 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
2305 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
2306 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
2307 the OpenSSL core team.
2308 (CVE-2014-3570)
2309 [Andy Polyakov]
2310
2311 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
2312 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
2313 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
2314 sanity and breaks all known clients.
2315 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
2316
2317 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
2318 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
2319 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
2320 [Emilia Käsper]
2321
2322 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
2323 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
2324 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2325 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
2326 announced in the initial ServerHello.
2327
2328 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
2329 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2330 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
2331 [Emilia Käsper]
2332
2333 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
2334
2335 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
2336
2337 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
2338 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
2339 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
2340 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
2341 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
2342 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
2343 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
2344
2345 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
2346 (CVE-2014-3513)
2347 [OpenSSL team]
2348
2349 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
2350
2351 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
2352 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
2353 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
2354 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
2355 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
2356 attack.
2357 (CVE-2014-3567)
2358 [Steve Henson]
2359
2360 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
2361
2362 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
2363 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
2364 configured to send them.
2365 (CVE-2014-3568)
2366 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
2367
2368 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
2369 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
2370 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
2371 (CVE-2014-3566)
2372 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2373
2374 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
2375
2376 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
2377 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
2378 DigestInfo structures.
2379
2380 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
2381
2382 [Steve Henson]
2383
2384 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
2385
2386 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
2387 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
2388 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
2389
2390 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
2391 Group for discovering this issue.
2392 (CVE-2014-3512)
2393 [Steve Henson]
2394
2395 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
2396 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
2397 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
2398 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
2399 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
2400
2401 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
2402 researching this issue.
2403 (CVE-2014-3511)
2404 [David Benjamin]
2405
2406 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
2407 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
2408 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
2409 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
2410
2411 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
2412 issue.
2413 (CVE-2014-3510)
2414 [Emilia Käsper]
2415
2416 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
2417 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2418 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2419 (CVE-2014-3507)
2420 [Adam Langley]
2421
2422 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
2423 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
2424 Denial of Service attack.
2425 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2426 (CVE-2014-3506)
2427 [Adam Langley]
2428
2429 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
2430 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
2431 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2432 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
2433 this issue.
2434 (CVE-2014-3505)
2435 [Adam Langley]
2436
2437 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
2438 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
2439 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
2440
2441 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
2442 issue.
2443 (CVE-2014-3509)
2444 [Gabor Tyukasz]
2445
2446 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
2447 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
2448 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
2449 Denial of Service attack.
2450
2451 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
2452 discovering and researching this issue.
2453 (CVE-2014-5139)
2454 [Steve Henson]
2455
2456 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
2457 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
2458 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
2459 output to the attacker.
2460
2461 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
2462 (CVE-2014-3508)
2463 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
2464
2465 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2466 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2467 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2468 [Bodo Moeller]
2469
2470 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
2471
2472 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
2473 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
2474 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
2475
2476 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
2477 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
2478 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
2479
2480 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
2481 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
2482 in a DoS attack.
2483
2484 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
2485 (CVE-2014-0221)
2486 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
2487
2488 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
2489 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
2490 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
2491 code on a vulnerable client or server.
2492
2493 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
2494 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
2495
2496 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
2497 are subject to a denial of service attack.
2498
2499 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
2500 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
2501 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
2502
2503 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2504 compilation flags.
2505 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2506
2507 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2508 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
2509 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2510
2511 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2512 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2513
2514 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
2515
2516 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2517 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2518 server.
2519
2520 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2521 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
2522 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2523 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2524
2525 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2526 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2527 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2528 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2529
2530 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2531 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2532 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2533
2534 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
2535
2536 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
2537 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
2538 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
2539 is at least 512 bytes long.
2540
2541 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
2542
2543 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
2544
2545 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
2546 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
2547 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
2548 (CVE-2013-4353)
2549
2550 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
2551 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
2552 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
2553 [Steve Henson]
2554
2555 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
2556 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
2557 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
2558 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
2559 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
2560 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
2561 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
2562
2563 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
2564
2565 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
2566 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
2567 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2568
2569 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
2570
2571 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
2572
2573 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
2574 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
2575 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
2576
2577 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2578 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2579 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
2580 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
2581 (CVE-2013-0169)
2582 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2583
2584 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
2585 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
2586 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
2587 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
2588 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
2589 (CVE-2012-2686)
2590 [Adam Langley]
2591
2592 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2593 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2594 [Steve Henson]
2595
2596 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2597 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2598
2599 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
2600 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
2601 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
2602 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
2603 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
2604
2605 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
2606 [Steve Henson]
2607
2608 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
2609 if renegotiating.
2610 [Steve Henson]
2611
2612 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
2613
2614 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
2615 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
2616
2617 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
2618 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
2619 (CVE-2012-2333)
2620 [Steve Henson]
2621
2622 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
2623 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
2624 [Steve Henson]
2625
2626 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
2627 approved.
2628 [Steve Henson]
2629
2630 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
2631
2632 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
2633 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
2634 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
2635 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
2636 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
2637 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
2638 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
2639 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
2640 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
2641 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
2642 [Steve Henson]
2643
2644 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
2645 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
2646 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
2647 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
2648 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
2649 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
2650 client side.
2651 [Andy Polyakov]
2652
2653 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
2654
2655 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
2656 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
2657 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
2658
2659 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
2660 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
2661 (CVE-2012-2110)
2662 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
2663
2664 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
2665 [Adam Langley]
2666
2667 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
2668 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
2669
2670 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
2671 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
2672 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
2673 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
2674 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
2675 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
2676 Most broken servers should now work.
2677 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
2678 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
2679 [Steve Henson]
2680
2681 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
2682 [Andy Polyakov]
2683
2684 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
2685
2686 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
2687 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
2688 [Steve Henson]
2689
2690 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
2691 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
2692 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
2693 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
2694 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
2695 [Steve Henson]
2696
2697 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
2698 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
2699 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
2700 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
2701 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
2702 [Steve Henson]
2703
2704 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
2705 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2706
2707 *) Add support for SCTP.
2708 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2709
2710 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2711 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2712
2713 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
2714
2715 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
2716 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
2717 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
2718 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
2719 - s390x: z196 support;
2720 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
2721
2722 [Andy Polyakov]
2723
2724 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
2725 (removal of unnecessary code)
2726 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
2727
2728 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
2729 [Eric Rescorla]
2730
2731 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
2732 [Eric Rescorla]
2733
2734 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
2735 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
2736 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
2737 by Google.
2738 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2739
2740 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
2741 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
2742 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
2743 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
2744 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
2745
2746 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
2747 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
2748 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
2749
2750 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
2751 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
2752 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
2753
2754 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
2755 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
2756 implementations).
2757 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2758
2759 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
2760 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
2761 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
2762 [Steve Henson]
2763
2764 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
2765 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
2766 particular PSS.
2767 [Steve Henson]
2768
2769 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
2770 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
2771 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
2772 [Steve Henson]
2773
2774 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
2775 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
2776 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
2777 the appropriate parameters.
2778 [Steve Henson]
2779
2780 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
2781 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
2782 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
2783 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
2784 against a number of sample certificates.
2785 [Steve Henson]
2786
2787 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
2788 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
2789
2790 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
2791 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
2792
2793 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
2794 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
2795 parameters r, s.
2796 [Steve Henson]
2797
2798 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
2799 RFC3211.
2800 [Steve Henson]
2801
2802 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
2803 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
2804 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
2805 password based CMS).
2806 [Steve Henson]
2807
2808 *) Session-handling fixes:
2809 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
2810 but also support Session Tickets.
2811 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
2812 presented a ticket with an expired session.
2813 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
2814 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
2815 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
2816 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2817
2818 *) Fix PSK session representation.
2819 [Bodo Moeller]
2820
2821 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
2822
2823 This work was sponsored by Intel.
2824 [Andy Polyakov]
2825
2826 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
2827 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
2828 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
2829 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
2830 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
2831 [Steve Henson]
2832
2833 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
2834 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
2835 [Steve Henson]
2836
2837 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
2838 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
2839 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
2840 [Steve Henson]
2841
2842 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
2843 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
2844 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
2845 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
2846 [Steve Henson]
2847
2848 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
2849 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
2850 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
2851 [Steve Henson]
2852
2853 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
2854 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
2855
2856 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
2857 [Steve Henson]
2858
2859 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
2860 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
2861 [Steve Henson]
2862
2863 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2864 [Steve Henson]
2865
2866 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
2867 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
2868 [Steve Henson]
2869
2870 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
2871 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
2872 [Steve Henson]
2873
2874 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
2875 [Steve Henson]
2876
2877 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
2878 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
2879 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
2880 [Steve Henson]
2881
2882 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2883 [Steve Henson]
2884
2885 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2886 [Steve Henson]
2887
2888 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
2889 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
2890 [Steve Henson]
2891
2892 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
2893 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
2894 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
2895 [Steve Henson]
2896
2897 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
2898 [Steve Henson]
2899
2900 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
2901 and enable MD5.
2902 [Steve Henson]
2903
2904 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
2905 FIPS modules versions.
2906 [Steve Henson]
2907
2908 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
2909 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
2910 until after the certificate request message is received.
2911 [Steve Henson]
2912
2913 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
2914 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
2915 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
2916 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
2917 [Steve Henson]
2918
2919 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
2920 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
2921 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
2922 support yet and no support for client certificates.
2923 [Steve Henson]
2924
2925 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
2926 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
2927 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
2928 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
2929 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
2930 and version checking.
2931 [Steve Henson]
2932
2933 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
2934 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
2935 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
2936 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
2937 [Steve Henson]
2938
2939 *) Add SRP support.
2940 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2941
2942 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
2943 [Steve Henson]
2944
2945 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
2946 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
2947 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2948
2949 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
2950 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
2951 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
2952 [Steve Henson]
2953
2954 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
2955 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
2956
2957 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
2958 a few changes are required:
2959
2960 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
2961 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
2962 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
2963 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
2964 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
2965 [Steve Henson]
2966
2967 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
2968
2969 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
2970 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
2971 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
2972 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
2973 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
2974 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
2975 an MMA defence is not necessary.
2976 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
2977 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
2978 [Steve Henson]
2979
2980 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
2981 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
2982 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
2983 [Steve Henson]
2984
2985 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
2986
2987 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
2988 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
2989 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
2990 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
2991 [Antonio Martin]
2992
2993 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
2994
2995 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
2996 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
2997 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
2998 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
2999 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
3000 paper describing this attack can be found at:
3001 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
3002 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3003 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3004 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
3005 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
3006 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
3007 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
3008
3009 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
3010 (CVE-2011-4576)
3011 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3012
3013 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
3014 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
3015 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
3016 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3017
3018 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
3019 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
3020
3021 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
3022 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
3023 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
3024 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3025
3026 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3027 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3028
3029 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
3030 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3031
3032 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
3033 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3034
3035 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
3036 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
3037 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3038
3039 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
3040 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
3041 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
3042
3043 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
3044 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
3045 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
3046 the last update always remained unused).
3047 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3048
3049 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
3050 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
3051
3052 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
3053
3054 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
3055 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
3056 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
3057
3058 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
3059 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
3060 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3061
3062 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
3063 [Bodo Moeller]
3064
3065 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
3066 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
3067 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
3068 [Steve Henson]
3069
3070 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
3071 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
3072
3073 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
3074
3075 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
3076
3077 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
3078
3079 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
3080 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3081
3082 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
3083 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
3084 ambiguous.
3085 [Steve Henson]
3086
3087 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
3088
3089 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
3090 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
3091 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
3092 [Steve Henson]
3093
3094 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
3095 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
3096 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
3097 [Ben Laurie]
3098
3099 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
3100
3101 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
3102 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
3103 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
3104 [Steve Henson]
3105
3106 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
3107 a DLL.
3108 [Steve Henson]
3109
3110 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
3111
3112 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
3113 (CVE-2010-1633)
3114 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
3115
3116 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
3117
3118 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
3119 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
3120 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
3121 [Steve Henson]
3122
3123 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
3124 [Steve Henson]
3125
3126 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
3127 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
3128 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
3129
3130 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
3131 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
3132 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
3133 [Steve Henson]
3134
3135 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
3136 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
3137 [Steve Henson]
3138
3139 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
3140 some responders need this.
3141 [Steve Henson]
3142
3143 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
3144 correctly.
3145 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3146
3147 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
3148 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
3149 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
3150 [Steve Henson]
3151
3152 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
3153 [Steve Henson]
3154
3155 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
3156 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
3157 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
3158 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
3159 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
3160 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
3161 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
3162 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
3163 [Steve Henson]
3164
3165 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
3166 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
3167 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
3168 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3169
3170 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
3171 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
3172
3173 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
3174 be used on C++.
3175 [Steve Henson]
3176
3177 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
3178 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
3179 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
3180 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
3181 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
3182 attempting to work them out.
3183 [Steve Henson]
3184
3185 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
3186 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
3187 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
3188 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
3189 [Steve Henson]
3190
3191 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
3192 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
3193 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
3194 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
3195 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
3196 [Steve Henson]
3197
3198 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
3199 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
3200 you can do:
3201
3202 openssl sha256 foo
3203
3204 as well as:
3205
3206 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
3207
3208 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
3209
3210 [Steve Henson]
3211
3212 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
3213 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3214
3215 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
3216 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
3217
3218 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
3219 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
3220 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
3221 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
3222 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
3223 [Steve Henson]
3224
3225 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
3226 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
3227 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
3228 [Steve Henson]
3229
3230 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
3231 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
3232 [Steve Henson]
3233
3234 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
3235 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
3236
3237 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
3238 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
3239 [Steve Henson]
3240
3241 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
3242 [Ben Laurie]
3243
3244 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
3245 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
3246 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
3247 CONF_VALUE.
3248 [Ben Laurie]
3249
3250 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
3251 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
3252 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
3253 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
3254 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
3255 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
3256 [Steve Henson]
3257
3258 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
3259 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
3260
3261 This work was sponsored by Google.
3262 [Steve Henson]
3263
3264 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
3265 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
3266 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
3267 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
3268 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
3269 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
3270 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
3271 default.
3272
3273 This work was sponsored by Google.
3274 [Steve Henson]
3275
3276 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
3277
3278 This work was sponsored by Google.
3279 [Steve Henson]
3280
3281 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
3282 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
3283 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
3284 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
3285
3286 This work was sponsored by Google.
3287 [Steve Henson]
3288
3289 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
3290 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
3291 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
3292 CRL functionality in future.
3293
3294 This work was sponsored by Google.
3295 [Steve Henson]
3296
3297 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
3298
3299 This work was sponsored by Google.
3300 [Steve Henson]
3301
3302 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
3303 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
3304
3305 This work was sponsored by Google.
3306 [Steve Henson]
3307
3308 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
3309 and URI types are currently supported.
3310
3311 This work was sponsored by Google.
3312 [Steve Henson]
3313
3314 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
3315 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
3316 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
3317 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
3318 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
3319 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
3320 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
3321 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
3322
3323 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
3324 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
3325 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
3326
3327 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
3328 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
3329 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
3330 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
3331
3332 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
3333 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
3334 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
3335 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
3336 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
3337 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
3338 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
3339 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
3340 of &errno.)
3341 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
3342
3343 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
3344 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
3345 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
3346
3347 This work was sponsored by Google.
3348 [Steve Henson]
3349
3350 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
3351 [Ben Laurie]
3352
3353 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3354 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
3355 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
3356 [Ben Laurie]
3357
3358 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
3359 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
3360 [Nick Mathewson]
3361
3362 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3363 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
3364 [Ben Laurie]
3365
3366 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
3367 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
3368 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
3369 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
3370 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
3371 content types and variants.
3372 [Steve Henson]
3373
3374 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
3375 [Steve Henson]
3376
3377 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
3378 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
3379 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
3380 files from the associated perl scripts.
3381 [Steve Henson]
3382
3383 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
3384 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
3385 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3386
3387 *) s390x assembler pack.
3388 [Andy Polyakov]
3389
3390 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
3391 "family."
3392 [Andy Polyakov]
3393
3394 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
3395 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
3396 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
3397 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
3398 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
3399 to use. For example, specify an option
3400
3401 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
3402
3403 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
3404 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
3405 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
3406 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
3407 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
3408 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
3409
3410 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
3411 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
3412 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
3413 return non-zero for success.
3414
3415 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
3416 by using
3417
3418 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
3419 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3420
3421 where
3422
3423 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
3424 void *arg;
3425
3426 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
3427 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
3428 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
3429 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
3430 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
3431 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
3432 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
3433 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
3434 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
3435
3436 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
3437 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
3438 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
3439 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
3440 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
3441 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
3442
3443 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
3444 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
3445 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
3446 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
3447 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
3448 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
3449
3450 [Bodo Moeller]
3451
3452 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
3453 MAC.
3454
3455 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3456
3457 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3458 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3459 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3460 supported.
3461
3462 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3463 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3464 SSL_SESSION.
3465
3466 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3467 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3468 with no application modification.
3469
3470 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3471 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3472
3473 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3474 or server extensions to be examined.
3475
3476 This work was sponsored by Google.
3477 [Steve Henson]
3478
3479 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
3480 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
3481 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
3482
3483 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
3484 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
3485 ciphersuite support.
3486 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
3487
3488 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
3489 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
3490 to output in BER and PEM format.
3491 [Steve Henson]
3492
3493 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
3494 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
3495 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
3496 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
3497 -macopt options to dgst utility.
3498 [Steve Henson]
3499
3500 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
3501 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
3502 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
3503 utility.
3504 [Steve Henson]
3505
3506 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
3507 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
3508 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
3509 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
3510 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
3511 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
3512 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
3513 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
3514 enabled again.
3515
3516 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
3517 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
3518 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
3519 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
3520
3521 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
3522 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
3523 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
3524 the default order.
3525 [Bodo Moeller]
3526
3527 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
3528 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
3529 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
3530 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
3531 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
3532 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
3533 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
3534 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
3535 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
3536
3537 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
3538 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
3539 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
3540 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
3541 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
3542 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
3543 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
3544 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
3545 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
3546 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
3547 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
3548 kinds of kludges.
3549
3550 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
3551 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
3552 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
3553
3554 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
3555 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
3556 "CAMELLIA256".
3557 [Bodo Moeller]
3558
3559 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
3560 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
3561 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
3562 [Nils Larsch]
3563
3564 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
3565 it yet and it is largely untested.
3566 [Steve Henson]
3567
3568 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
3569 [Nils Larsch]
3570
3571 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
3572 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
3573 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
3574 [Steve Henson]
3575
3576 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
3577 [Andy Polyakov]
3578
3579 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
3580 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
3581 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
3582 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
3583 [Steve Henson]
3584
3585 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
3586 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
3587 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
3588 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
3589 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
3590 [Steve Henson]
3591
3592 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
3593 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
3594 [Cryptocom]
3595
3596 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
3597 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
3598 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
3599 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
3600 [Steve Henson]
3601
3602 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
3603 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
3604 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
3605 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
3606 [Steve Henson]
3607
3608 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
3609 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
3610 [Steve Henson]
3611
3612 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
3613 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
3614 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
3615 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
3616 [Steve Henson]
3617
3618 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
3619 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
3620 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
3621 [Steve Henson]
3622
3623 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
3624 utility.
3625 [Steve Henson]
3626
3627 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
3628 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
3629 [Steve Henson]
3630
3631 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
3632 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
3633 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
3634 if necessary.
3635 [Steve Henson]
3636
3637 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
3638 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
3639 to free up any added signature OIDs.
3640 [Steve Henson]
3641
3642 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
3643 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
3644 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
3645 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
3646 [Steve Henson]
3647
3648 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
3649 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
3650 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
3651 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
3652 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
3653 the array representation useful in a more general context.
3654 [Douglas Stebila]
3655
3656 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
3657 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
3658 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
3659 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
3660 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
3661
3662 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
3663 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
3664 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
3665 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
3666 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
3667 protocol).
3668
3669 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
3670 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
3671 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
3672 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
3673
3674 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
3675 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
3676 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
3677 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
3678 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
3679
3680 aECDH - ECDH cert
3681 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
3682 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
3683
3684 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
3685 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
3686
3687 [Bodo Moeller]
3688
3689 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
3690 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
3691 [Steve Henson]
3692
3693 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
3694 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
3695 [Steve Henson]
3696
3697 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
3698 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
3699 functional reference processing.
3700 [Steve Henson]
3701
3702 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
3703 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
3704 process.
3705 [Steve Henson]
3706
3707 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
3708 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
3709 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
3710 [Steve Henson]
3711
3712 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
3713 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
3714 application to support multiple signers.
3715 [Steve Henson]
3716
3717 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
3718 digest MAC.
3719 [Steve Henson]
3720
3721 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
3722 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
3723 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
3724 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
3725 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
3726 [Steve Henson]
3727
3728 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
3729 new API.
3730 [Steve Henson]
3731
3732 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
3733 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
3734 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
3735 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
3736 a no op.
3737 [Steve Henson]
3738
3739 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
3740 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
3741 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
3742 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
3743 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
3744 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
3745 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
3746 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
3747 [Steve Henson]
3748
3749 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
3750 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
3751 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
3752 between digests and public key types.
3753 [Steve Henson]
3754
3755 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
3756 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
3757 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
3758 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
3759 [Steve Henson]
3760
3761 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
3762 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
3763 key ASN1 method.
3764 [Steve Henson]
3765
3766 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
3767 [Steve Henson]
3768
3769 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
3770 pkeyutl.
3771 [Steve Henson]
3772
3773 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
3774 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
3775 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
3776 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
3777 pkey, genpkey.
3778 [Steve Henson]
3779
3780 *) BeOS support.
3781 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3782
3783 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
3784 manual pages.
3785 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3786
3787 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
3788 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
3789 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
3790 functionality for RSA.
3791 [Steve Henson]
3792
3793 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
3794 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
3795 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
3796 [Steve Henson]
3797
3798 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
3799 key API, doesn't do much yet.
3800 [Steve Henson]
3801
3802 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
3803 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
3804 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
3805 [Steve Henson]
3806
3807 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
3808 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3809 [Douglas Stebila]
3810
3811 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
3812 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
3813 [Steve Henson]
3814
3815 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
3816 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
3817 type.
3818 [Steve Henson]
3819
3820 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
3821 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
3822 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
3823 structure.
3824 [Steve Henson]
3825
3826 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
3827 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
3828 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
3829 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
3830 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
3831 of public and private key structures.
3832 [Steve Henson]
3833
3834 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
3835 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3836 [Douglas Stebila]
3837
3838 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
3839 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
3840 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
3841
3842 New ciphersuites:
3843 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
3844 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
3845
3846 New functions:
3847 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
3848 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
3849 SSL_get_psk_identity
3850 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
3851
3852 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
3853
3854 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
3855 and response verification functionality.
3856 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
3857
3858 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3859 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3860 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3861 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3862 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3863 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3864 server_name extension.
3865
3866 New functions (subject to change):
3867
3868 SSL_get_servername()
3869 SSL_get_servername_type()
3870 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
3871
3872 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3873
3874 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3875 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3876 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3877 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3878 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3879
3880 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3881
3882 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3883 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3884 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3885 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3886 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
3887 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3888 option.
3889
3890 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
3891
3892 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
3893 [Andy Polyakov]
3894
3895 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
3896 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
3897 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
3898 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
3899 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
3900 [Andy Polyakov]
3901
3902 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
3903 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
3904 macro.
3905 [Bodo Moeller]
3906
3907 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
3908 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
3909 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
3910 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
3911 [Andy Polyakov]
3912
3913 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
3914 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
3915 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
3916 using the maximum available value.
3917 [Steve Henson]
3918
3919 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
3920 in addition to the text details.
3921 [Bodo Moeller]
3922
3923 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
3924 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
3925 handle several customised structures at all.
3926 [Steve Henson]
3927
3928 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
3929 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
3930 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
3931 [Steve Henson]
3932
3933 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
3934 [Steve Henson]
3935
3936 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
3937 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
3938 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
3939 [Steve Henson]
3940
3941 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
3942 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
3943 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
3944 [Nils Larsch]
3945
3946 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
3947 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
3948 all fields.
3949 [Steve Henson]
3950
3951 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
3952 [Steve Henson]
3953
3954 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
3955 [NTT]
3956
3957 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
3958
3959 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
3960 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
3961 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
3962 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
3963 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
3964 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
3965 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
3966 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
3967
3968 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
3969 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
3970 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
3971
3972 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
3973
3974 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
3975 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
3976
3977 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
3978 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
3979 [Bodo Moeller]
3980
3981 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
3982 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
3983 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
3984 [Steve Henson]
3985
3986 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
3987 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
3988 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
3989 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
3990 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
3991 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
3992 [Steve Henson]
3993
3994 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
3995 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
3996 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
3997 [Steve Henson]
3998
3999 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
4000 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
4001 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
4002 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
4003 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
4004 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
4005 CVE-2009-4355.
4006 [Steve Henson]
4007
4008 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
4009 change when encrypting or decrypting.
4010 [Bodo Moeller]
4011
4012 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
4013 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
4014 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
4015 [Steve Henson]
4016
4017 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
4018 [Steve Henson]
4019
4020 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
4021 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
4022 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
4023 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
4024 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
4025 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
4026 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
4027 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
4028 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
4029 [Steve Henson]
4030
4031 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
4032 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
4033 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
4034 [Steve Henson]
4035
4036 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
4037 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
4038 [Steve Henson]
4039
4040 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
4041 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
4042 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
4043 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
4044 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
4045 know what you are doing.
4046 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
4047
4048 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
4049 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
4050 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
4051 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
4052 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
4053 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
4054 the handshake.
4055 [Steve Henson]
4056
4057 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
4058 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
4059 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
4060 correctly.
4061 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4062
4063 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
4064 warnings in other configurations.
4065 [Steve Henson]
4066
4067 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
4068 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
4069 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
4070 systems need.
4071 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
4072
4073 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
4074 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
4075 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
4076
4077 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
4078 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
4079 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
4080 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
4081 [Steve Henson]
4082
4083 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
4084 and restored.
4085 [Steve Henson]
4086
4087 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
4088 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
4089 clash.
4090 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4091
4092 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
4093 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
4094 other than a simple chain.
4095 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
4096
4097 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
4098 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
4099 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
4100 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
4101 [Steve Henson]
4102
4103 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
4104 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
4105 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
4106 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
4107 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
4108 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
4109 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
4110 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
4111 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4112
4113 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
4114 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
4115 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
4116 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
4117 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
4118 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
4119 (CVE-2009-1377)
4120 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4121
4122 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
4123 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
4124 [Daniel Mentz]
4125
4126 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
4127 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
4128
4129 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
4130 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
4131
4132 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
4133
4134 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
4135 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
4136 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
4137 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
4138 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
4139 you're doing.
4140 [Ben Laurie]
4141
4142 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
4143
4144 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
4145 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
4146 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
4147 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
4148
4149 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
4150 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
4151 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
4152 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4153
4154 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
4155 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
4156 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
4157 [Steve Henson]
4158
4159 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
4160 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
4161 level.
4162 [Steve Henson]
4163
4164 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
4165 to handle some structures.
4166 [Steve Henson]
4167
4168 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
4169 for a '\n'
4170 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
4171
4172 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
4173 [Matthieu Herrb]
4174
4175 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
4176 [Steve Henson]
4177
4178 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
4179 [Steve Henson]
4180
4181 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
4182 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
4183 chosen compiler.
4184 [Ben Laurie]
4185
4186 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
4187
4188 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
4189 (CVE-2008-5077).
4190 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
4191
4192 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
4193 [Ben Laurie]
4194
4195 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
4196 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
4197 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
4198 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
4199
4200 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
4201 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
4202
4203 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
4204 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
4205 [Bodo Moeller]
4206
4207 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
4208 s_client and s_server.
4209 [Ben Laurie]
4210
4211 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
4212 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4213
4214 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
4215 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
4216
4217 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
4218 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
4219 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
4220 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
4221 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
4222 [Bodo Moeller]
4223
4224 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
4225
4226 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
4227 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
4228 [PR #1679]
4229
4230 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
4231 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
4232 [Nagendra Modadugu]
4233
4234 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
4235 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
4236 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
4237 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
4238
4239 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
4240 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
4241
4242 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
4243
4244 *) Various precautionary measures:
4245
4246 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
4247
4248 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
4249 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
4250 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
4251
4252 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
4253 outside the expected range.
4254
4255 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
4256 builds.
4257
4258 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
4259
4260 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
4261 the load fails. Useful for distros.
4262 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
4263
4264 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
4265 [Steve Henson]
4266
4267 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
4268 [Huang Ying]
4269
4270 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
4271
4272 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4273 [Steve Henson]
4274
4275 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
4276 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
4277 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
4278
4279 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4280 [Steve Henson]
4281
4282 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
4283 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
4284 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
4285 files.
4286 [Steve Henson]
4287
4288 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
4289
4290 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
4291 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
4292 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
4293 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
4294
4295 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
4296 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
4297 [Joe Orton]
4298
4299 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
4300
4301 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
4302 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
4303 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
4304
4305 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
4306
4307 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
4308 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
4309 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
4310 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
4311 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4312
4313 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
4314 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
4315 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
4316 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
4317 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
4318 invalid read after the end of 'db').
4319 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4320
4321 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
4322
4323 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
4324 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
4325 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
4326 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
4327 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
4328
4329 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
4330 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
4331
4332 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
4333 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
4334 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
4335 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
4336 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
4337
4338 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
4339
4340 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
4341 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
4342 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
4343 sets may exist with different names.
4344 [Steve Henson]
4345
4346 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
4347 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
4348 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
4349 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
4350 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
4351 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
4352 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
4353 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
4354 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
4355 implementation.
4356 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
4357
4358 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
4359 implementation in the following ways:
4360
4361 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
4362 hard coded.
4363
4364 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
4365 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
4366 ignored for embedded content.
4367
4368 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
4369 with the enable-cms configuration option.
4370 [Steve Henson]
4371
4372 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
4373 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
4374 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
4375 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
4376
4377 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
4378 uncompresses any data passed through it.
4379 [Steve Henson]
4380
4381 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
4382 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
4383 [Steve Henson]
4384
4385 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
4386 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
4387 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
4388 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
4389 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
4390 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
4391 data.
4392 [Steve Henson]
4393
4394 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
4395 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
4396 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4397
4398 *) Netware support:
4399
4400 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
4401 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
4402 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
4403 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
4404 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
4405 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
4406 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
4407 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
4408 platform
4409 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
4410 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
4411 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
4412 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
4413 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
4414 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
4415 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
4416
4417 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
4418 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
4419 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
4420 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
4421 to s_client and s_server.
4422 [Steve Henson]
4423
4424 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
4425
4426 *) Fix various bugs:
4427 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
4428 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
4429 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
4430 + Fix ia64 assembler code
4431 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
4432
4433 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
4434
4435 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
4436 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
4437 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
4438 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
4439 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
4440 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
4441 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
4442 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
4443 [Andy Polyakov]
4444
4445 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
4446 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
4447 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
4448 Steve Henson]
4449
4450 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4451 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4452 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4453 supported.
4454
4455 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4456 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4457 SSL_SESSION.
4458
4459 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4460 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4461 with no application modification.
4462
4463 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4464 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4465
4466 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4467 or server extensions to be examined.
4468
4469 This work was sponsored by Google.
4470 [Steve Henson]
4471
4472 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4473 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4474 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4475 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4476 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4477 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4478 server_name extension.
4479
4480 New functions (subject to change):
4481
4482 SSL_get_servername()
4483 SSL_get_servername_type()
4484 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4485
4486 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4487
4488 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4489 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4490 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4491 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4492 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4493
4494 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4495
4496 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4497 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4498 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4499 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4500 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4501 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4502 option.
4503
4504 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
4505
4506 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
4507 [Steve Henson]
4508
4509 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
4510 [Andy Polyakov]
4511
4512 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
4513 (which previously caused an internal error).
4514 [Bodo Moeller]
4515
4516 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
4517 [Ben Laurie]
4518
4519 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
4520 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
4521
4522 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
4523 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
4524 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
4525
4526 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
4527 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
4528 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
4529 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
4530
4531 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4532 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4533 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
4534 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
4535
4536 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
4537 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
4538 information. For detailed background information, see
4539 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
4540 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
4541 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
4542 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
4543 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
4544 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
4545 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
4546 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
4547 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
4548 remove a conditional branch.
4549
4550 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
4551 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
4552 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
4553 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
4554 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
4555 remains as a deprecated alias.
4556
4557 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
4558 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
4559 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
4560 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
4561
4562 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
4563 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
4564 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
4565 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
4566 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
4567 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
4568 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
4569 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
4570
4571 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
4572
4573 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
4574 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
4575 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
4576 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
4577 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
4578 with applications using a single external cache for quite
4579 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
4580 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
4581 in a different context.
4582 [Bodo Moeller]
4583
4584 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4585 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4586 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4587 [Bodo Moeller]
4588
4589 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
4590 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
4591 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
4592
4593 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
4594
4595 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
4596 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
4597 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4598 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
4599 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
4600 [Victor Duchovni]
4601
4602 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
4603 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
4604 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
4605 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
4606 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
4607 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
4608 [Bodo Moeller]
4609
4610 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4611 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4612 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4613 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4614 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4615 [Bodo Moeller]
4616
4617 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
4618 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
4619
4620 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4621 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4622 Improve header file function name parsing.
4623 [Steve Henson]
4624
4625 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
4626 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
4627 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
4628
4629 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
4630
4631 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4632 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4633 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4634
4635 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4636 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4637
4638 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4639 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4640
4641 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4642 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4643 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4644
4645 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
4646 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
4647 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
4648 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
4649 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
4650 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
4651 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
4652 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
4653 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
4654
4655 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
4656 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
4657 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
4658 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
4659 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
4660
4661 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
4662 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
4663 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
4664 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
4665 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
4666 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
4667 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
4668 multiple values to extend the available space.
4669
4670 [Bodo Moeller]
4671
4672 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
4673
4674 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4675 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4676
4677 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
4678 [Ben Laurie]
4679
4680 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4681 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4682 undesirable limitations.
4683 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4684
4685 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
4686 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
4687 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
4688 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
4689 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
4690 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
4691 to avoid potential handshake problems.
4692 [Bodo Moeller]
4693
4694 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4695
4696 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4697 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4698 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4699
4700 The latter two were purportedly from
4701 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4702 appear there.
4703
4704 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
4705 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4706 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4707 [Bodo Moeller]
4708
4709 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
4710 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4711 [Bodo Moeller]
4712
4713 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
4714 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
4715 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
4716 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
4717
4718 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4719 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4720 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
4721 [NTT]
4722
4723 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
4724 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
4725 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
4726 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
4727 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
4728 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
4729 [Steve Henson]
4730
4731 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
4732
4733 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
4734 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
4735 [Steve Henson]
4736
4737 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
4738 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
4739
4740 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4741 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
4742 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
4743 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
4744 [Douglas Stebila]
4745
4746 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
4747 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
4748 [Steve Henson]
4749
4750 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
4751 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
4752 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
4753 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
4754 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
4755 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
4756 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
4757 can't be loaded.
4758 [Steve Henson]
4759
4760 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
4761 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
4762 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
4763 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
4764 [Steve Henson]
4765
4766 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
4767 under VC++ build system.
4768 [Steve Henson]
4769
4770 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
4771 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
4772 [Richard Levitte]
4773
4774 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
4775
4776 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4777 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4778 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4779 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4780 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4781
4782 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4783 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4784 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4785
4786 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
4787 [Steve Henson]
4788
4789 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
4790 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4791 [Nils Larsch]
4792
4793 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
4794 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
4795
4796 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
4797 [Nick Mathewson]
4798
4799 *) Extended Windows CE support.
4800 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
4801
4802 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
4803 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4804 [Steve Henson]
4805
4806 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
4807 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
4808 smime utility.
4809 [Steve Henson]
4810
4811 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
4812
4813 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4814 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
4815
4816 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
4817 [Richard Levitte]
4818
4819 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
4820 key into the same file any more.
4821 [Richard Levitte]
4822
4823 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
4824 [Andy Polyakov]
4825
4826 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
4827 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
4828
4829 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
4830 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
4831 [Richard Levitte]
4832
4833 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
4834 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
4835 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
4836 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
4837 this only applies when building 'shared'.
4838 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
4839
4840 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
4841 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
4842 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
4843 [Steve Henson]
4844
4845 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
4846 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
4847 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
4848 - add new function for parameter creation
4849 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
4850 BN_BLINDING parameters
4851 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
4852 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
4853 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
4854 threads.
4855 [Nils Larsch]
4856
4857 *) Add support for DTLS.
4858 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
4859
4860 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
4861 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
4862 [Walter Goulet]
4863
4864 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
4865 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
4866 [Nils Larsch]
4867
4868 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
4869 the apps/openssl applications.
4870 [Nils Larsch]
4871
4872 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
4873 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
4874 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
4875 [Ben Laurie]
4876
4877 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
4878 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
4879
4880 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
4881 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
4882
4883 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
4884 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
4885 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
4886 avoid this algorithm.)
4887
4888 [Bodo Moeller]
4889
4890 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
4891 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
4892 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
4893 [Richard Levitte]
4894
4895 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
4896 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
4897 [Andy Polyakov]
4898
4899 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
4900 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
4901 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
4902 pod file:
4903
4904 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
4905
4906 The blank line is mandatory.
4907
4908 [Steve Henson]
4909
4910 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
4911 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
4912 sources.
4913 [Steve Henson]
4914
4915 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
4916 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
4917
4918 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
4919 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
4920 to support policy checking and print out.
4921 [Steve Henson]
4922
4923 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
4924 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
4925 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
4926 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
4927
4928 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
4929 [Geoff Thorpe]
4930
4931 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
4932 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
4933
4934 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
4935 implementation contributed by IBM.
4936 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
4937
4938 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
4939 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
4940 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
4941 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
4942
4943 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
4944 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
4945
4946 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
4947 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
4948 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
4949 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
4950 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
4951 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
4952 [Steve Henson]
4953
4954 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
4955 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
4956 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
4957 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
4958 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
4959 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
4960 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
4961 [Geoff Thorpe]
4962
4963 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
4964 [Steve Henson]
4965
4966 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
4967 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
4968 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
4969 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
4970 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
4971 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
4972 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
4973 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
4974 [Steve Henson]
4975
4976 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
4977 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
4978 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
4979 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
4980 [Steve Henson]
4981
4982 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
4983 syntax:
4984
4985 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
4986 [Steve Henson]
4987
4988 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
4989 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
4990 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
4991 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
4992 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
4993 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
4994 BN_CTX's "bundling".
4995 [Geoff Thorpe]
4996
4997 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
4998 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
4999 [Geoff Thorpe]
5000
5001 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
5002 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
5003 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
5004 [Steve Henson]
5005
5006 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
5007 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
5008 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
5009 below).
5010 [Geoff Thorpe]
5011
5012 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
5013 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
5014 [Richard Levitte]
5015
5016 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
5017 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
5018 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
5019 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
5020 [Geoff Thorpe]
5021
5022 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
5023 initialised value as BN_new().
5024 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
5025
5026 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
5027 [Steve Henson]
5028
5029 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
5030 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
5031 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
5032 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
5033 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
5034 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
5035 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
5036 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
5037 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
5038 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
5039 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
5040 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
5041 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
5042 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
5043 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
5044
5045 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
5046 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
5047 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
5048 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
5049 [Geoff Thorpe]
5050
5051 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
5052 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
5053 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
5054 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
5055 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
5056 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
5057 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
5058 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
5059 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
5060 [Geoff Thorpe]
5061
5062 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
5063 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
5064 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
5065 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
5066 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
5067 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
5068 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
5069 [Geoff Thorpe]
5070
5071 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
5072 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
5073 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
5074 these have been updated also.
5075 [Geoff Thorpe]
5076
5077 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
5078 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
5079 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
5080 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
5081 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
5082 functions.
5083 [Steve Henson]
5084
5085 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
5086 structure of type "other".
5087 [Steve Henson]
5088
5089 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
5090 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
5091 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
5092 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
5093 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
5094 situation in the script.
5095 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5096
5097 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5098 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
5099 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
5100 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
5101 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
5102 used as premaster secret.
5103 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5104
5105 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
5106 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
5107 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5108
5109 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
5110 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
5111
5112 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
5113 control of the error stack.
5114 [Richard Levitte]
5115
5116 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
5117 [Richard Levitte]
5118
5119 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
5120 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
5121 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
5122 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
5123 [Richard Levitte]
5124
5125 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
5126 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
5127 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
5128 [Richard Levitte]
5129
5130 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
5131 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
5132 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
5133 a memory area.
5134 [Richard Levitte]
5135
5136 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
5137 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
5138 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
5139 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
5140 [Richard Levitte]
5141
5142 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
5143 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
5144 the following flags are defined:
5145
5146 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
5147 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5148 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
5149 number.
5150
5151 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
5152 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5153 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
5154 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
5155 returns zero.
5156 [Richard Levitte]
5157
5158 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
5159 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
5160 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
5161 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
5162 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
5163 [Richard Levitte]
5164
5165 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
5166 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
5167 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
5168 [Richard Levitte]
5169
5170 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5171 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5172 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5173 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5174 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5175 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5176 [Richard Levitte]
5177
5178 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
5179 req and dirName.
5180 [Steve Henson]
5181
5182 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
5183 [Steve Henson]
5184
5185 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
5186 [Steve Henson]
5187
5188 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
5189 [Steve Henson]
5190
5191 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
5192 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
5193 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
5194 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
5195 default implementation more easily.
5196 [Geoff Thorpe]
5197
5198 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
5199 in config files.
5200 [Steve Henson]
5201
5202 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
5203 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
5204 [Richard Levitte]
5205
5206 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
5207 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
5208 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
5209 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
5210
5211 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
5212 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
5213 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
5214 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
5215 [Steve Henson]
5216
5217 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
5218 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
5219 to do it.
5220 [Richard Levitte]
5221
5222 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
5223 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
5224 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
5225 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
5226 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
5227 scalar * generator).
5228 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
5229
5230 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
5231 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
5232 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
5233 correctly.
5234 [Steve Henson]
5235
5236 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
5237 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
5238 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
5239 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
5240 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
5241 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
5242 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
5243 linker additions, eg;
5244 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
5245 [Geoff Thorpe]
5246
5247 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
5248 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
5249 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
5250 [Geoff Thorpe]
5251
5252 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5253 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5254 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
5255 via PR#459)
5256 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5257
5258 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
5259 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
5260 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
5261 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
5262 [Geoff Thorpe]
5263
5264 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
5265 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
5266 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
5267 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
5268 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
5269 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
5270 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
5271 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
5272 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
5273 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
5274
5275 Example for using the new callback interface:
5276
5277 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
5278 void *my_arg = ...;
5279 BN_GENCB my_cb;
5280
5281 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
5282
5283 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
5284 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
5285 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
5286 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
5287 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
5288 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
5289 */
5290
5291 [Geoff Thorpe]
5292
5293 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
5294 available to TLS with the number defined in
5295 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
5296 [Richard Levitte]
5297
5298 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
5299 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
5300
5301 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
5302 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5303 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5304 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
5305
5306 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
5307 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
5308
5309 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
5310 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
5311 well.
5312 [Richard Levitte]
5313
5314 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
5315 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
5316 [Richard Levitte]
5317
5318 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
5319 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
5320 and a macro that behave like
5321 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
5322
5323 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
5324 [Nils Larsch]
5325
5326 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
5327 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
5328 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
5329 if applicable.
5330 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5331
5332 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
5333 [Bodo Moeller]
5334
5335 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
5336 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
5337 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
5338 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
5339 directory engines/.
5340 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
5341 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
5342 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
5343 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
5344 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
5345 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
5346 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
5347 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
5348
5349 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
5350 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
5351 [Richard Levitte]
5352
5353 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
5354 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
5355
5356 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
5357 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
5358 files while avoiding the low level API.
5359
5360 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
5361 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
5362 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
5363 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
5364
5365 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
5366 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
5367 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
5368 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
5369 instead of the low level API.
5370 [Steve Henson]
5371
5372 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
5373 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
5374 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
5375 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
5376 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
5377 PKCS#7 code.
5378
5379 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
5380 down to the template encoder.
5381 [Steve Henson]
5382
5383 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
5384 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
5385 [Bodo Moeller]
5386
5387 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
5388 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
5389 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
5390 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5391
5392 *) Add ECDH engine support.
5393 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5394
5395 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
5396 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5397
5398 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
5399 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
5400 [Bodo Moeller]
5401
5402 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
5403 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
5404 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
5405 [Bodo Moeller]
5406
5407 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
5408 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
5409
5410 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5411 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5412
5413 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
5414 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
5415 New EC_METHOD:
5416
5417 EC_GF2m_simple_method
5418
5419 New API functions:
5420
5421 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
5422 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
5423 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
5424 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5425 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5426 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
5427
5428 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
5429 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
5430 enable it).
5431
5432 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
5433 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
5434 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
5435 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
5436 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
5437 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
5438 various internal method names.)
5439
5440 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
5441 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
5442
5443 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5444 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5445
5446 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
5447 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
5448
5449 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
5450 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
5451 methods are undefined.
5452
5453 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5454 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5455
5456 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
5457 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
5458 length of the modulus.
5459
5460 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5461 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5462
5463 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
5464 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
5465
5466 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5467 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5468
5469 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
5470 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
5471 used) in the following functions [macros]:
5472
5473 BN_GF2m_add
5474 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
5475 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
5476 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
5477 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
5478 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
5479 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
5480 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
5481 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
5482 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
5483
5484 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
5485 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
5486
5487 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
5488 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
5489 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
5490 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
5491 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
5492 where
5493 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
5494 This applies to the following functions:
5495
5496 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
5497 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
5498 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
5499 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
5500 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
5501 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
5502 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
5503 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
5504 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5505 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5506
5507 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
5508
5509 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5510 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5511
5512 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
5513
5514 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
5515 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
5516 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
5517 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
5518 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
5519
5520 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5521 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5522
5523 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
5524 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
5525 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
5526
5527 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
5528 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
5529
5530 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
5531 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
5532 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
5533 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
5534 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5535
5536 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
5537 functions
5538 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
5539 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
5540 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
5541 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
5542 These control ASN1 encoding details:
5543 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
5544 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
5545 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
5546 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
5547 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
5548 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
5549 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
5550
5551 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
5552 functions
5553 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
5554 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
5555 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
5556 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
5557 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5558
5559 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
5560 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
5561 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
5562 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5563
5564 *) Add functions
5565 EC_POINT_point2bn()
5566 EC_POINT_bn2point()
5567 EC_POINT_point2hex()
5568 EC_POINT_hex2point()
5569 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
5570 EC_POINT_oct2point().
5571 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5572
5573 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
5574 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
5575 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
5576 EC_GROUP_get_order()
5577 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
5578 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
5579 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
5580 adding different types of curves.
5581 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
5582
5583 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
5584 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
5585 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
5586 [Bodo Moeller]
5587
5588 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
5589 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
5590
5591 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
5592 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
5593 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
5594 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5595
5596 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
5597
5598 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
5599 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
5600
5601 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
5602 library. Most notably,
5603 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
5604 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
5605 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
5606 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
5607 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
5608 extracted before the specific public key;
5609 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
5610 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5611
5612 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
5613 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
5614 function
5615 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
5616 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
5617 EC_get_builtin_curves().
5618 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
5619 accessed via
5620 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
5621 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
5622 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
5623
5624 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5625 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5626 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5627 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5628 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5629 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5630 differing sizes.
5631 [Richard Levitte]
5632
5633 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
5634
5635 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
5636 sensitive data.
5637 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
5638
5639 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5640 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5641 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5642 [Bodo Moeller]
5643
5644 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
5645 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5646 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
5647 [Victor Duchovni]
5648
5649 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
5650 [Steve Henson]
5651
5652 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
5653 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
5654 [Steve Henson]
5655
5656 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
5657 run algorithm test programs.
5658 [Steve Henson]
5659
5660 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
5661 [Steve Henson]
5662
5663 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5664 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5665 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5666 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5667 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5668 [Bodo Moeller]
5669
5670 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5671 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5672 [Steve Henson]
5673
5674 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
5675
5676 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5677 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5678 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5679
5680 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5681 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5682
5683 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5684 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5685
5686 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5687 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5688 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5689
5690 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
5691 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
5692 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
5693 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
5694 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
5695 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
5696 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
5697 [Bodo Moeller]
5698
5699 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
5700
5701 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5702 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5703
5704 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5705 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5706 undesirable limitations.
5707 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5708
5709 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5710
5711 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5712 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5713 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5714
5715 The latter two were purportedly from
5716 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5717 appear there.
5718
5719 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
5720 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5721 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5722 [Bodo Moeller]
5723
5724 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5725 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5726 [Bodo Moeller]
5727
5728 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
5729
5730 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
5731 module in FIPS mode.
5732 [Steve Henson]
5733
5734 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
5735 [Steve Henson]
5736
5737 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
5738 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
5739 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
5740 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
5741 [Steve Henson]
5742
5743 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
5744
5745 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
5746 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
5747 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
5748 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
5749 the difference induced by this change.
5750 [Andy Polyakov]
5751
5752 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
5753
5754 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5755 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5756 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5757 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5758 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5759
5760 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5761 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5762 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5763
5764 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
5765 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
5766 [Steve Henson]
5767
5768 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
5769 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
5770 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
5771 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
5772 biased k.)
5773 [Bodo Moeller]
5774
5775 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
5776 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
5777 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
5778 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
5779 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
5780
5781 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
5782 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
5783 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
5784 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
5785 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
5786 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
5787
5788 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
5789
5790 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
5791 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
5792 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
5793 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
5794 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
5795 [Bodo Moeller]
5796
5797 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
5798 clients need.
5799 [Steve Henson]
5800
5801 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
5802 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
5803 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
5804 [Steve Henson]
5805
5806 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
5807 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
5808 structures constant.
5809 [Steve Henson]
5810
5811 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
5812
5813 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5814 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5815
5816 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
5817 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
5818 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
5819 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
5820 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
5821 some needed definitions.
5822 [Steve Henson]
5823
5824 *) Undo Cygwin change.
5825 [Ulf Möller]
5826
5827 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
5828 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
5829 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
5830 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
5831 [Richard Levitte]
5832
5833 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
5834
5835 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
5836 server and client random values. Previously
5837 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
5838 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
5839
5840 This change has negligible security impact because:
5841
5842 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
5843 data.
5844
5845 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
5846 handshake.
5847
5848 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
5849 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
5850 values.
5851
5852 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
5853 to our attention.
5854
5855 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
5856
5857 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
5858 [Ulf Möller]
5859
5860 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
5861 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
5862 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
5863
5864 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
5865 [Steve Henson]
5866
5867 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
5868 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
5869 [Andy Polyakov]
5870
5871 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
5872 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
5873 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
5874
5875 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
5876 [Steve Henson]
5877
5878 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
5879 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
5880 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
5881 certificates.
5882 [Steve Henson]
5883
5884 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
5885 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
5886 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
5887 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
5888
5889 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
5890 has chosen to ignore this fault)
5891 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
5892 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
5893 been given)
5894 [Richard Levitte]
5895
5896 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
5897
5898 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
5899 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
5900 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
5901 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
5902 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
5903 [Steve Henson]
5904
5905 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
5906 [Steve Henson]
5907
5908 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
5909 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
5910
5911 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
5912 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
5913 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
5914 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
5915 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
5916 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
5917 rather than being initialized to 1.
5918 [Steve Henson]
5919
5920 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
5921
5922 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
5923 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
5924 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5925
5926 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
5927 (CVE-2004-0112)
5928 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5929
5930 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5931 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5932 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5933 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5934 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5935 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5936 [Richard Levitte]
5937
5938 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
5939 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
5940 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
5941 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
5942 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
5943 for these cases.
5944 [Steve Henson]
5945
5946 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
5947 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
5948 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
5949 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
5950 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
5951 [Steve Henson]
5952
5953 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
5954 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
5955 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
5956 < 0.9.7.
5957 [Steve Henson]
5958
5959 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
5960 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
5961
5962 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
5963 [Steve Henson]
5964
5965 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
5966
5967 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
5968
5969 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
5970 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
5971
5972 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
5973
5974 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
5975 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
5976
5977 [Steve Henson]
5978
5979 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
5980 exiting on the first error in a request.
5981 [Steve Henson]
5982
5983 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
5984 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
5985 specifications.
5986 [Steve Henson]
5987
5988 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
5989 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
5990 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
5991 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
5992
5993 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
5994 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
5995 [Richard Levitte]
5996
5997 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
5998 blocks during encryption.
5999 [Richard Levitte]
6000
6001 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
6002 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
6003 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
6004 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
6005 certain size.
6006 [Steve Henson]
6007
6008 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
6009 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
6010 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
6011 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
6012 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
6013 parser.
6014 [Steve Henson]
6015
6016 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
6017
6018 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6019 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6020 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6021 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6022 [Bodo Moeller]
6023
6024 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6025 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6026 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6027 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6028 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6029
6030 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6031 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6032 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6033 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6034 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6035 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6036 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6037 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6038 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6039 [Bodo Moeller]
6040
6041 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
6042 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
6043 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
6044 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
6045 [Geoff Thorpe]
6046
6047 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
6048 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
6049 [Ulf Moeller]
6050
6051 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
6052
6053 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6054 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
6055 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6056 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6057 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6058
6059 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6060 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6061 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6062
6063 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
6064 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
6065 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
6066 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
6067 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
6068
6069 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
6070 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
6071 used by default when no-err is given.
6072 [Richard Levitte]
6073
6074 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
6075 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
6076
6077 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
6078 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
6079 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
6080 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
6081 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
6082
6083 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
6084 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
6085 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
6086 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
6087
6088 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
6089
6090 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
6091
6092 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
6093
6094 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
6095 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
6096 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
6097 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
6098 root is omitted).
6099 [Steve Henson]
6100
6101 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
6102 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6103
6104 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
6105 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
6106 [Steve Henson]
6107
6108 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6109 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6110 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
6111 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
6112 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6113
6114 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
6115 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
6116 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
6117 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
6118 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
6119 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6120 followup to PR #377.
6121 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6122
6123 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
6124 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
6125 [Andy Polyakov]
6126
6127 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
6128 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
6129 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
6130 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
6131
6132 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
6133
6134 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
6135 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
6136
6137 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
6138 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
6139 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
6140 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
6141 client and server.
6142 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6143 PR #377.
6144 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6145
6146 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
6147 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
6148 removed entirely.
6149 [Richard Levitte]
6150
6151 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
6152 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
6153 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
6154 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
6155 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
6156 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
6157 of libcrypto.
6158 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
6159 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
6160 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
6161 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
6162 have to be made anyway).
6163 [Richard Levitte]
6164
6165 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
6166 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
6167 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
6168 [Steve Henson]
6169
6170 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
6171 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
6172 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
6173 [Richard Levitte]
6174
6175 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
6176 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
6177 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6178
6179 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
6180 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
6181 edit numbers of the version.
6182 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6183
6184 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
6185 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
6186 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
6187
6188 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
6189 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6190
6191 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6192 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6193 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6194
6195 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
6196 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6197
6198 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
6199 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6200
6201 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
6202 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6203
6204 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
6205 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6206
6207 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
6208 overflows.
6209 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6210
6211 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
6212 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
6213 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6214
6215 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
6216 representations in a platform independent manner.
6217 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6218
6219 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6220 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6221 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6222
6223 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
6224 indents.
6225 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6226
6227 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
6228 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6229
6230 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
6231 full. Fixed.
6232 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6233
6234 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
6235 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
6236 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6237
6238 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
6239 unconditionally).
6240 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6241
6242 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
6243 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6244
6245 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
6246 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6247
6248 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
6249 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6250
6251 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
6252 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6253
6254 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
6255 CBCParameter.
6256 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6257
6258 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
6259 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6260
6261 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
6262 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6263
6264 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
6265 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
6266 exploitable.
6267 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6268
6269 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
6270 the 0.9.6 release series:
6271
6272 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6273 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
6274 (CVE-2002-0657)
6275 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6276
6277 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
6278 [Richard Levitte]
6279
6280 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
6281 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
6282
6283 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
6284 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
6285
6286 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
6287 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
6288 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
6289 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
6290
6291 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
6292 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
6293 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
6294
6295 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
6296 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
6297 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
6298 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6299
6300 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
6301 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
6302 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
6303 some local tweaks:
6304
6305 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
6306 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
6307 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
6308 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6309 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6310 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
6311 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
6312 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
6313 done
6314
6315 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
6316 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
6317 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
6318 [Richard Levitte]
6319
6320 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
6321 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
6322 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
6323 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
6324 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
6325
6326 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
6327 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
6328
6329 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
6330 error in AES-CFB decryption.
6331 [Richard Levitte]
6332
6333 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
6334 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
6335 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
6336 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
6337 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
6338 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
6339 [Steve Henson]
6340
6341 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
6342 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
6343 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
6344 [Steve Henson]
6345
6346 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
6347 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
6348 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6349
6350 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
6351 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
6352 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
6353 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
6354 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
6355 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
6356 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
6357 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6358
6359 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
6360 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
6361 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
6362 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
6363 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
6364 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
6365 [Steve Henson]
6366
6367 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
6368 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
6369 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
6370 declaration has been changed from
6371 int (*cb)()
6372 into
6373 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
6374 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
6375 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
6376 has been changed into
6377 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
6378
6379 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
6380 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
6381 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
6382
6383 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
6384 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
6385
6386 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
6387 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
6388 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
6389 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
6390 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
6391 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
6392 always load it have also been added.
6393 [Steve Henson]
6394
6395 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
6396 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
6397 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6398
6399 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
6400
6401 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
6402 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
6403 because it couldn't be used for anything.
6404
6405 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
6406 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
6407 command line option can be used to specify an
6408 alternative file.
6409 [Steve Henson]
6410
6411 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
6412 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
6413 [Steve Henson]
6414
6415 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
6416 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
6417 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
6418 [Steve Henson]
6419
6420 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
6421 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6422 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
6423 to work with the new engine framework.
6424 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
6425
6426 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
6427 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6428 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
6429 to work with the new engine framework.
6430 [Richard Levitte]
6431
6432 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
6433 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
6434 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
6435
6436 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
6437 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
6438
6439 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
6440 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
6441 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
6442 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
6443 FORMAT_IISSGC.
6444 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6445
6446 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6447 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6448
6449 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
6450 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
6451
6452 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
6453 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
6454 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
6455 [Ben Laurie]
6456
6457 *) Add new functions
6458 ERR_peek_last_error
6459 ERR_peek_last_error_line
6460 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
6461 These are similar to
6462 ERR_peek_error
6463 ERR_peek_error_line
6464 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
6465 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
6466 still in the error queue.
6467 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
6468
6469 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
6470 like:
6471 default_algorithms = ALL
6472 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
6473 [Steve Henson]
6474
6475 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
6476 [Steve Henson]
6477
6478 *) New experimental application configuration code.
6479 [Steve Henson]
6480
6481 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
6482 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
6483 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
6484 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6485
6486 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
6487 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
6488
6489 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
6490 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6491
6492 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
6493 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
6494 [Bodo Moeller]
6495
6496 *) New functions/macros
6497
6498 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
6499 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
6500 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
6501 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
6502
6503 to request calling a callback function
6504
6505 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
6506 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
6507
6508 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
6509 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
6510 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
6511 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
6512 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
6513 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
6514 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
6515 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
6516 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
6517 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
6518
6519 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
6520 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
6521 [Bodo Moeller]
6522
6523 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
6524 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
6525 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
6526 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
6527 the configuration scripts.
6528
6529 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
6530 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
6531 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
6532
6533 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
6534 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6535
6536 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
6537 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
6538 when reusing an existing buffer.
6539 [Bodo Moeller]
6540
6541 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
6542 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
6543 [Steve Henson]
6544
6545 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
6546 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
6547 [Ben Laurie]
6548
6549 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
6550 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
6551 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
6552 has the same effect.
6553 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6554
6555 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
6556 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
6557 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
6558 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
6559 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
6560 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
6561 exception.
6562
6563 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
6564 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
6565 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
6566 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
6567
6568 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
6569 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
6570 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
6571 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
6572
6573 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
6574 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
6575 won't work.
6576
6577 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
6578 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
6579 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
6580 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
6581 default), and then completely removed.
6582 [Richard Levitte]
6583
6584 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
6585 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
6586 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
6587 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
6588 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
6589 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
6590 particular extension is supported.
6591 [Steve Henson]
6592
6593 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
6594 to retain compatibility with existing code.
6595 [Steve Henson]
6596
6597 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
6598 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
6599 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
6600 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
6601 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
6602 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
6603 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
6604 requires the destination to be valid.
6605
6606 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
6607 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
6608 [Steve Henson]
6609
6610 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
6611 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
6612 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
6613 [Bodo Moeller]
6614
6615 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
6616 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
6617
6618 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
6619 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
6620 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
6621 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
6622 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
6623 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
6624 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
6625 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
6626 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
6627 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
6628 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
6629 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
6630 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
6631 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
6632 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
6633 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
6634 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
6635 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
6636 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
6637 the new code.
6638 [Geoff Thorpe]
6639
6640 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
6641 [Steve Henson]
6642
6643 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
6644 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
6645 become part of libeay.num as well.
6646 [Richard Levitte]
6647
6648 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
6649 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
6650 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
6651 false once a handshake has been completed.
6652 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
6653 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
6654 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
6655 client has followed the request.)
6656 [Bodo Moeller]
6657
6658 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
6659 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
6660 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
6661 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
6662
6663 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
6664 more bits available for options that should not be part of
6665 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
6666 [Bodo Moeller]
6667
6668 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
6669 [Steve Henson]
6670
6671 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
6672 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
6673 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
6674 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6675
6676 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
6677 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6678 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6679
6680 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
6681 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
6682 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
6683 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
6684 [Geoff Thorpe]
6685
6686 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
6687 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
6688 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
6689 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
6690 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
6691 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
6692 [Geoff Thorpe]
6693
6694 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
6695 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
6696 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
6697 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
6698 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
6699 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
6700 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
6701 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
6702 [Geoff Thorpe]
6703
6704 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
6705 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
6706 [Geoff Thorpe]
6707
6708 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
6709 [Ben Laurie]
6710
6711 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
6712 md_data void pointer.
6713 [Ben Laurie]
6714
6715 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
6716 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
6717 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
6718 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
6719 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
6720 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
6721 [Ben Laurie]
6722
6723 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
6724 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
6725 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
6726 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
6727 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
6728 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
6729 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
6730 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
6731 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
6732 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
6733 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
6734 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
6735 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
6736 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
6737 rather than letting it slide.
6738
6739 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
6740 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
6741 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
6742 [Geoff Thorpe]
6743
6744 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
6745 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
6746 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
6747 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
6748 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
6749 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
6750 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
6751 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
6752 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
6753 [Geoff Thorpe]
6754
6755 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
6756 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
6757 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
6758 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
6759 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
6760
6761 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
6762 [Geoff Thorpe]
6763
6764 *) Add EVP test program.
6765 [Ben Laurie]
6766
6767 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
6768 [Ben Laurie]
6769
6770 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
6771 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
6772 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
6773 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
6774 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
6775 [Steve Henson]
6776
6777 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
6778 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
6779 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
6780 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
6781 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
6782 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
6783 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
6784
6785 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
6786 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
6787 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
6788 Usage example:
6789
6790 EVP_MD_CTX md;
6791
6792 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
6793 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
6794 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
6795 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
6796 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
6797
6798 [Ben Laurie]
6799
6800 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
6801 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
6802 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
6803 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
6804 anyway): E.g.,
6805
6806 des_key_schedule ks;
6807
6808 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
6809 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
6810
6811 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
6812 [Ben Laurie]
6813
6814 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
6815 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
6816 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
6817 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
6818 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
6819 functions prevents this.
6820 [Steve Henson]
6821
6822 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
6823 [Ben Laurie]
6824
6825 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
6826 correct _ecb suffix.
6827 [Ben Laurie]
6828
6829 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
6830 revocation information is handled using the text based index
6831 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
6832 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
6833 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
6834 [Steve Henson]
6835
6836 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
6837 [Richard Levitte]
6838
6839 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
6840 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
6841 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
6842 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
6843
6844 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
6845 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
6846
6847 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
6848 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
6849 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
6850 via Richard Levitte]
6851
6852 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
6853 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
6854 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
6855 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
6856 [Geoff Thorpe]
6857
6858 *) Speed up EVP routines.
6859 Before:
6860 encrypt
6861 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
6862 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

6874 [Ben Laurie]
6875
6876 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
6877 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
6878
6879 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
6880 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
6881 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
6882 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
6883 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
6884 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
6885 [Steve Henson]
6886
6887 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
6888 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
6889 [Richard Levitte]
6890
6891 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
6892 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
6893 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
6894 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
6895
6896 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
6897 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
6898 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
6899 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
6900 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
6901 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
6902 callback.
6903 [Richard Levitte]
6904
6905 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
6906 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
6907 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
6908 and interrupts/cancellations.
6909 [Richard Levitte]
6910
6911 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
6912 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
6913 [Steve Henson]
6914
6915 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
6916 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
6917 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
6918
6919 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
6920 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
6921 kind of callback.
6922 [Richard Levitte]
6923
6924 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
6925 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
6926 than this minimum value is recommended.
6927 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6928
6929 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
6930 that are easily reachable.
6931 [Richard Levitte]
6932
6933 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
6934 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
6935
6936 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
6937
6938 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
6939 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
6940 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
6941 needed for static libraries under Win32.
6942 [Steve Henson]
6943
6944 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
6945 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
6946 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
6947 [Steve Henson]
6948
6949 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
6950 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
6951 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
6952 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
6953 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
6954 internally such as S/MIME.
6955
6956 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
6957 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
6958 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
6959
6960 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
6961 applications.
6962 [Steve Henson]
6963
6964 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
6965 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
6966 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
6967 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
6968
6969 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
6970
6971 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
6972
6973 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
6974 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
6975 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
6976 handling.
6977 [Steve Henson]
6978
6979 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
6980 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
6981 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
6982 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
6983 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
6984 a window system and the like.
6985 [Richard Levitte]
6986
6987 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
6988 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
6989 [Geoff]
6990
6991 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
6992 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
6993 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
6994 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
6995 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
6996 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
6997 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
6998 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
6999 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
7000 ENGINE structure.
7001 [Geoff]
7002
7003 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
7004 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
7005 tag cache.
7006 [Steve Henson]
7007
7008 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
7009 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
7010 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
7011 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
7012 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
7013 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
7014 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
7015 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
7016 [Geoff]
7017
7018 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
7019 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
7020 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
7021 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
7022 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
7023 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
7024 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
7025 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
7026 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
7027 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
7028 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
7029 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
7030 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
7031 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
7032 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
7033 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
7034 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
7035 [Geoff]
7036
7037 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
7038 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
7039 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
7040 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
7041 internal engine_int.h header.
7042 [Geoff]
7043
7044 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
7045 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
7046 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
7047 modify their own ones).
7048 [Geoff]
7049
7050 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
7051 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
7052 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
7053 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
7054 later on via ctrl() commands.
7055 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
7056 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
7057 structural references.
7058 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
7059 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
7060 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
7061 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
7062 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
7063 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
7064 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
7065 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
7066 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
7067 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
7068 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
7069 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
7070 [Geoff]
7071
7072 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
7073 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
7074 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
7075 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
7076 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
7077 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
7078 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
7079 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
7080 [Bodo Moeller]
7081
7082 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
7083 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
7084 [Steve Henson]
7085
7086 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
7087 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
7088 [Steve Henson]
7089
7090 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
7091 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
7092 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
7093 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
7094 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
7095 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
7096 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
7097 [Steve Henson]
7098
7099 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
7100 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
7101 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
7102 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
7103 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
7104
7105 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
7106 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
7107 generator).
7108 [Bodo Moeller]
7109
7110 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
7111
7112 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
7113 operations and provides various method functions that can also
7114 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
7115
7116 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
7117 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
7118
7119 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
7120 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
7121 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
7122
7123 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
7124 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
7125
7126 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
7127 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
7128
7129 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
7130
7131 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
7132 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
7133 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
7134 [Bodo Moeller]
7135
7136 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
7137 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
7138 [Richard Levitte]
7139
7140 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
7141 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
7142 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
7143 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
7144 is 40 of more characters long.
7145 [Steve Henson]
7146
7147 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
7148 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
7149 pointers.
7150 [Steve Henson]
7151
7152 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
7153 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
7154 [Bodo Moeller]
7155
7156 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
7157 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
7158 might.
7159 [Steve Henson]
7160
7161 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
7162
7163 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
7164 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
7165
7166 ASN1 error codes
7167 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
7168 ...
7169 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
7170 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
7171 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
7172 ...
7173 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
7174 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
7175
7176 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
7177 [Bodo Moeller]
7178
7179 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
7180 suffices.
7181 [Bodo Moeller]
7182
7183 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
7184 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
7185 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
7186 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
7187 and
7188 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
7189
7190 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
7191 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
7192
7193 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
7194 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
7195 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
7196 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
7197 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
7198 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
7199
7200 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
7201 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
7202
7203 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
7204 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7205
7206 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
7207 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
7208
7209 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
7210 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
7211 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7212 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
7213
7214 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
7215 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
7216
7217 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
7218 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
7219
7220 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
7221 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
7222 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
7223 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
7224 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
7225 [Richard Levitte]
7226
7227 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
7228 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
7229 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
7230 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
7231 [Steve Henson]
7232
7233 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
7234 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
7235 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
7236 trust settings.
7237 [Steve Henson]
7238
7239 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
7240 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
7241 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
7242 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
7243 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
7244 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
7245 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
7246 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
7247 ocsp utility.
7248 [Steve Henson]
7249
7250 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
7251 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
7252 [Steve Henson]
7253
7254 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
7255 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
7256 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
7257 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
7258 [Steve Henson]
7259
7260 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
7261 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
7262 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
7263 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
7264 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
7265 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
7266 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
7267 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
7268 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
7269 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
7270 [Steve Henson]
7271
7272 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
7273 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
7274 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
7275 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
7276 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
7277 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
7278 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
7279 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7280
7281 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
7282 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
7283 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
7284 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
7285 [Richard Levitte]
7286
7287 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
7288 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
7289 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
7290 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
7291 opensslconf.h.
7292 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
7293 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
7294 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
7295 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
7296 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
7297 what is available.
7298 [Richard Levitte]
7299
7300 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
7301 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
7302 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
7303 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
7304 auto incremented.
7305 [Steve Henson]
7306
7307 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
7308 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
7309 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
7310 [Steve Henson]
7311
7312 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
7313 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
7314 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
7315 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
7316 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
7317 [Steve Henson]
7318
7319 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
7320 [Steve Henson]
7321
7322 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
7323 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
7324 option to ocsp utility.
7325 [Steve Henson]
7326
7327 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
7328 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
7329 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
7330 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
7331 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
7332 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
7333 the request is nonce-less.
7334 [Steve Henson]
7335
7336 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
7337 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
7338 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
7339 [Bodo Moeller]
7340
7341 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
7342 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
7343 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
7344 [Steve Henson]
7345
7346 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
7347 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
7348 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
7349 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
7350 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
7351 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7352
7353 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
7354 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
7355 appear to exist.
7356 [Steve Henson]
7357
7358 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
7359 additional certificates supplied.
7360 [Steve Henson]
7361
7362 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
7363 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
7364 signature against.
7365 [Richard Levitte]
7366
7367 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
7368 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
7369 AES OIDs.
7370
7371 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
7372 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
7373 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
7374 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
7375 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
7376 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
7377 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
7378 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
7379 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
7380
7381 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
7382 request to response.
7383 [Steve Henson]
7384
7385 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
7386 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
7387 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
7388 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
7389 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
7390 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
7391 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
7392 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
7393 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
7394 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
7395 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
7396 [Steve Henson]
7397
7398 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
7399 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
7400 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
7401 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
7402 [Steve Henson]
7403
7404 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
7405 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7406
7407 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
7408 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
7409 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
7410 [Steve Henson]
7411
7412 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
7413 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
7414 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
7415 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7416 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7417
7418 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
7419 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
7420 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
7421 [Steve Henson]
7422
7423 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
7424 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
7425 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
7426 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
7427 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
7428 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
7429 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7430 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7431
7432 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
7433 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
7434 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
7435 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
7436 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
7437 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
7438 [Steve Henson]
7439
7440 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
7441 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
7442 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
7443 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
7444 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
7445 printout format cleaned up.
7446 [Steve Henson]
7447
7448 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
7449 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
7450 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
7451 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
7452 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
7453 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
7454 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
7455 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
7456 [Steve Henson]
7457
7458 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
7459 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
7460 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
7461 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
7462 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
7463 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
7464 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
7465 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
7466 [Steve Henson]
7467
7468 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
7469 extensions from a separate configuration file.
7470 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
7471 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
7472 section to use.
7473 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7474
7475 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
7476 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
7477 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
7478 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
7479 [Steve Henson]
7480
7481 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
7482 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
7483 the given serial number (according to the index file).
7484 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
7485 in the index file.
7486 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7487
7488 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
7489 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
7490 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
7491 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7492
7493 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
7494 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
7495
7496 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
7497 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
7498 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
7499 [Steve Henson]
7500
7501 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
7502 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
7503 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
7504 [Bodo Moeller]
7505
7506 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
7507 file name and line number information in additional arguments
7508 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
7509 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
7510 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
7511 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
7512 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
7513 functions are provided:
7514
7515 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
7516 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
7517 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
7518 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
7519
7520 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
7521 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
7522 extended allocation function is enabled.
7523 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
7524 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
7525 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
7526
7527 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
7528 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
7529 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
7530 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
7531 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
7532 [Geoff Thorpe]
7533
7534 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
7535 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
7536 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
7537 be queried.
7538 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
7539 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
7540 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
7541 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7542
7543 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
7544 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
7545 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
7546 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
7547 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
7548 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
7549 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
7550 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
7551 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
7552 [Richard Levitte]
7553
7554 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
7555 provide utility functions which an application needing
7556 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
7557 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
7558 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
7559
7560 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
7561 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
7562 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
7563 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
7564 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
7565 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
7566 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
7567 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
7568 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
7569
7570 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
7571 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
7572 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
7573 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
7574 [Steve Henson]
7575
7576 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
7577 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
7578 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
7579 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
7580 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
7581 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
7582 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
7583 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
7584 will be added elsewhere.
7585 [Steve Henson]
7586
7587 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
7588 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
7589 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
7590 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
7591 [Steve Henson]
7592
7593 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
7594 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
7595 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
7596 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
7597 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
7598 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
7599 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
7600 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
7601 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
7602 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
7603 to produce the required SET OF.
7604 [Steve Henson]
7605
7606 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
7607 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
7608 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
7609 [Richard Levitte]
7610
7611 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
7612 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
7613 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
7614 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
7615 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
7616 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
7617 [Steve Henson]
7618
7619 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
7620 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
7621 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
7622 [Steve Henson]
7623
7624 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
7625 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
7626 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
7627 [Richard Levitte]
7628
7629 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
7630 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
7631 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
7632 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
7633 code will still work when these eventually go away.
7634 [Steve Henson]
7635
7636 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
7637 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
7638 [Steve Henson]
7639
7640 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
7641 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
7642 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
7643 certificates and CRLs.
7644 [Steve Henson]
7645
7646 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
7647 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
7648 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
7649 [Steve Henson]
7650
7651 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
7652 entries for variables.
7653 [Steve Henson]
7654
7655 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
7656 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
7657 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
7658 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
7659 [Bodo Moeller]
7660
7661 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
7662 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
7663 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
7664 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
7665 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
7666 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
7667 [Bodo Moeller]
7668
7669 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
7670 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
7671
7672 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
7673 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
7674 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
7675 [Steve Henson]
7676
7677 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
7678 print routines.
7679 [Steve Henson]
7680
7681 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
7682 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
7683 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
7684 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
7685 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
7686 order did not reflect the encoded order.
7687 [Steve Henson]
7688
7689 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
7690 [Steve Henson]
7691
7692 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
7693 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
7694 for now but they will eventually go away.
7695 [Steve Henson]
7696
7697 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
7698 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
7699 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
7700 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
7701 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
7702 has also been converted to the new form.
7703 [Steve Henson]
7704
7705 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
7706 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
7707 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
7708 for negative moduli.
7709 [Bodo Moeller]
7710
7711 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
7712 of not touching the result's sign bit.
7713 [Bodo Moeller]
7714
7715 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
7716 set.
7717 [Bodo Moeller]
7718
7719 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
7720 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
7721 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
7722 type-specific callbacks.
7723 [Geoff Thorpe]
7724
7725 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
7726 RFC 2712.
7727 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7728 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
7729
7730 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
7731 in sections depending on the subject.
7732 [Richard Levitte]
7733
7734 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
7735 Windows.
7736 [Richard Levitte]
7737
7738 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
7739 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
7740 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
7741 be handled deterministically).
7742 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7743
7744 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
7745 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
7746 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
7747 [Bodo Moeller]
7748
7749 *) New function BN_kronecker.
7750 [Bodo Moeller]
7751
7752 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
7753 positive unless both parameters are zero.
7754 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
7755 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
7756 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
7757 [Bodo Moeller]
7758
7759 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
7760 sign of the number in question.
7761
7762 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
7763
7764 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
7765 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
7766 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
7767 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
7768 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
7769 [Bodo Moeller]
7770
7771 *) New function BN_swap.
7772 [Bodo Moeller]
7773
7774 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
7775 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
7776 results on negative inputs.
7777 [Bodo Moeller]
7778
7779 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
7780 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
7781 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
7782 [Bodo Moeller]
7783
7784 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
7785 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
7786 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
7787 and add new functions:
7788
7789 BN_nnmod
7790 BN_mod_sqr
7791 BN_mod_add
7792 BN_mod_add_quick
7793 BN_mod_sub
7794 BN_mod_sub_quick
7795 BN_mod_lshift1
7796 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
7797 BN_mod_lshift
7798 BN_mod_lshift_quick
7799
7800 These functions always generate non-negative results.
7801
7802 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
7803 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
7804
7805 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
7806 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
7807 be reduced modulo m.
7808 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7809
7810 #if 0
7811 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
7812 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
7813 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
7814
7815 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
7816 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
7817 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
7818 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
7819 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
7820 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
7821 differing sizes.
7822 [Richard Levitte]
7823 #endif
7824
7825 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
7826 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
7827 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
7828 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
7829 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
7830
7831 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
7832 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
7833 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
7834 cause any problems.
7835 [Bodo Moeller]
7836
7837 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
7838 [Richard Levitte]
7839
7840 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
7841 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
7842 [Richard Levitte]
7843
7844 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
7845 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
7846 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
7847 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
7848 time)
7849 [Richard Levitte]
7850
7851 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
7852 [Richard Levitte]
7853
7854 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
7855 [Richard Levitte]
7856
7857 *) Add the following functions:
7858
7859 ENGINE_load_cswift()
7860 ENGINE_load_chil()
7861 ENGINE_load_atalla()
7862 ENGINE_load_nuron()
7863 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
7864
7865 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
7866 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
7867 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
7868 libraries unless it's really needed.
7869
7870 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
7871 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
7872 declarations (they differed!).
7873 [Richard Levitte]
7874
7875 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
7876 [Richard Levitte]
7877
7878 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
7879 [Richard Levitte]
7880
7881 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
7882 [Bodo Moeller]
7883
7884 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
7885 identity, and test if they are actually available.
7886 [Richard Levitte]
7887
7888 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
7889 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
7890 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7891
7892 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
7893 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
7894 [Richard Levitte]
7895
7896 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
7897 [Richard Levitte]
7898
7899 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
7900 [Richard Levitte]
7901
7902 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
7903 [Ben Laurie]
7904
7905 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
7906 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
7907 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
7908
7909 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
7910 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
7911 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
7912 different shared library filenames on each system.
7913 [Geoff Thorpe]
7914
7915 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
7916 [Richard Levitte]
7917
7918 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
7919 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
7920 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
7921 of two sections.
7922 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
7923
7924 *) NCONF changes.
7925 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
7926 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
7927 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
7928 binary backward compatibility.
7929 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
7930 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
7931 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
7932 LDAP server.
7933 [Richard Levitte]
7934
7935 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
7936 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
7937 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
7938 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
7939 this case.
7940 [Steve Henson]
7941
7942 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
7943 [Ben Laurie]
7944
7945 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
7946 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
7947 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
7948 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
7949 set.
7950 [Steve Henson]
7951
7952 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
7953 [Richard Levitte]
7954
7955 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
7956
7957 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
7958 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
7959 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7960
7961 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
7962
7963 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
7964
7965 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
7966 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
7967 [Steve Henson]
7968
7969 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
7970
7971 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
7972
7973 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
7974 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
7975
7976 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
7977 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
7978
7979 [Steve Henson]
7980
7981 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
7982 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
7983 specifications.
7984 [Steve Henson]
7985
7986 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
7987 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
7988 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
7989 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
7990
7991 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
7992 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
7993 [Richard Levitte]
7994
7995 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
7996
7997 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
7998 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
7999 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
8000 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
8001 [Bodo Moeller]
8002
8003 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
8004 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
8005 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
8006 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
8007 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8008
8009 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
8010 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
8011 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
8012 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
8013 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
8014 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
8015 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
8016 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
8017 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
8018 [Bodo Moeller]
8019
8020 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
8021
8022 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
8023 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
8024 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
8025 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
8026 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
8027
8028 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
8029 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
8030 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
8031
8032 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
8033
8034 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
8035 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
8036 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
8037 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
8038 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
8039 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
8040 [Geoff Thorpe]
8041
8042 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
8043 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
8044 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
8045 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
8046 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
8047 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8048
8049 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
8050 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
8051 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
8052
8053 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
8054 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
8055 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
8056 EVP_cleanup().
8057 [Richard Levitte]
8058
8059 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
8060 being properly terminated.
8061 [Richard Levitte]
8062
8063 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
8064 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
8065 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
8066 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
8067
8068 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
8069 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
8070 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
8071 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
8072 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
8073 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
8074 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
8075 change.
8076 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
8077
8078 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
8079 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
8080 [Bodo Moeller]
8081
8082 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
8083 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
8084 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
8085 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
8086 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
8087 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
8088 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
8089 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
8090
8091 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
8092 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
8093 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
8094 (see [openssl.org #212]).
8095 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8096
8097 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
8098 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
8099 [Steve Henson]
8100
8101 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
8102
8103 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
8104 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
8105 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
8106
8107 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
8108
8109 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
8110 and get fix the header length calculation.
8111 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
8112 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
8113 Steve Henson]
8114
8115 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
8116 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
8117 assertions could call abort()).
8118 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
8119
8120 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
8121
8122 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8123 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8124 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8125 supplied buffer.
8126 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8127
8128 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
8129 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
8130 by the selection routines (PR #130).
8131 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8132
8133 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
8134 [Nils Larsch]
8135
8136 *) New option
8137 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
8138 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
8139 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
8140
8141 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
8142 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
8143 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
8144 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
8145 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
8146 applications.
8147 [Bodo Moeller]
8148
8149 *) Changes in security patch:
8150
8151 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
8152 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
8153 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
8154 F30602-01-2-0537.
8155
8156 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8157 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8158 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8159 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
8160 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8161
8162 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
8163 happen in practice.
8164 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8165
8166 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
8167 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
8168 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
8169
8170 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
8171 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
8172 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8173
8174 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
8175 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
8176 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8177
8178 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
8179
8180 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
8181 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
8182 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
8183
8184 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
8185 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
8186
8187 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
8188 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
8189 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
8190 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
8191 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
8192 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
8193 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8194
8195 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
8196 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
8197 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
8198 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
8199 [Bodo Moeller]
8200
8201 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
8202 [Bodo Moeller]
8203
8204 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
8205 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
8206 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
8207 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
8208 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
8209 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8210
8211 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
8212 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
8213 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
8214 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
8215 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
8216 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8217
8218 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
8219 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
8220 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
8221 BN_generate_prime().)
8222
8223 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
8224 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
8225 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
8226 better.
8227 [Bodo Moeller]
8228
8229 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
8230 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
8231 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8232
8233 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
8234 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
8235 when using non-blocking I/O.
8236 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
8237
8238 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
8239 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
8240
8241 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
8242 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
8243 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8244
8245 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
8246 configuration for the versions before that.
8247 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
8248
8249 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
8250 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
8251 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
8252 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
8253 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8254
8255 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
8256 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
8257 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
8258 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8259
8260 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
8261 value is 0.
8262 [Richard Levitte]
8263
8264 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
8265 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
8266 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
8267
8268 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
8269 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
8270
8271 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
8272 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
8273 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
8274 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
8275 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
8276 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
8277 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
8278 session cache.
8279
8280 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
8281 using a local variable.
8282 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
8283
8284 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
8285 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
8286 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8287
8288 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
8289 [Richard Levitte]
8290
8291 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
8292 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
8293
8294 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
8295 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
8296 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
8297
8298 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
8299
8300 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
8301 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
8302 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
8303 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
8304 [Bodo Moeller]
8305
8306 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
8307 present.
8308 [Steve Henson]
8309
8310 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
8311 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
8312 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
8313 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
8314 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
8315
8316 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
8317 returns early because it has nothing to do.
8318 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8319
8320 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8321 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
8322 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8323
8324 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8325 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
8326 (Use engine 'keyclient')
8327 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
8328
8329 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
8330 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
8331 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
8332 modules).
8333 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
8334
8335 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8336 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
8337 from 0.9.7.
8338 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
8339
8340 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8341 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
8342 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
8343 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
8344
8345 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8346 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
8347 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
8348 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
8349
8350 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
8351 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
8352
8353 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
8354 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
8355 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
8356 [Bodo Moeller]
8357
8358 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
8359 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
8360 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
8361 become invalid.
8362 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
8363
8364 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
8365 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
8366 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
8367 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
8368 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
8369 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
8370 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
8371 [Bodo Moeller]
8372
8373 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
8374 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
8375 one of the SSL handshake functions.
8376 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
8377
8378 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
8379 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
8380 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
8381 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
8382 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
8383 the client will at least see that alert.
8384 [Bodo Moeller]
8385
8386 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
8387 correctly.
8388 [Bodo Moeller]
8389
8390 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
8391 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
8392 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8393
8394 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
8395 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
8396 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
8397 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
8398 HelloRequest.
8399
8400 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
8401 before just sending a HelloRequest.
8402 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
8403
8404 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
8405 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
8406 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
8407 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
8408 may leak via logfiles.)
8409
8410 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
8411 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
8412 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
8413 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
8414 the legal range.
8415 [Bodo Moeller]
8416
8417 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
8418 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
8419 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8420
8421 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
8422 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
8423 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
8424 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
8425 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
8426 [Bodo Moeller]
8427
8428 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
8429 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
8430
8431 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
8432 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
8433 followed by modular reduction.
8434 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
8435
8436 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
8437 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
8438 [Bodo Moeller]
8439
8440 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
8441 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
8442 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
8443 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
8444 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8445
8446 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
8447 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8448
8449 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
8450 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
8451 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8452
8453 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
8454 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
8455 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
8456 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
8457 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
8458 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
8459 automatically.
8460 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
8461
8462 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
8463 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
8464 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
8465 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
8466 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
8467
8468 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
8469 [Andy Polyakov]
8470
8471 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
8472 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
8473 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
8474 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
8475 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
8476 to allow the necessary settings.
8477 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8478
8479 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
8480 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
8481 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
8482 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
8483 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8484
8485 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
8486 dh->length and always used
8487
8488 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
8489
8490 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
8491 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
8492 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
8493 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
8494 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
8495 dh->length.
8496
8497 So switch back to
8498
8499 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
8500
8501 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
8502 otherwise.
8503 [Bodo Moeller]
8504
8505 *) In
8506
8507 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
8508 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
8509 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
8510 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
8511
8512 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
8513 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
8514 always reject numbers >= n.
8515 [Bodo Moeller]
8516
8517 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
8518 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
8519 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
8520 variable) is not atomic.
8521 [Bodo Moeller]
8522
8523 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
8524 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
8525 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
8526 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
8527
8528 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
8529 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
8530
8531 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
8532 little-endian MIPS.
8533 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
8534
8535 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
8536 [Richard Levitte]
8537
8538 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
8539
8540 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
8541 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
8542 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
8543 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
8544 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
8545 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
8546 to traverse all of 'state'.
8547
8548 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
8549 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
8550 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
8551
8552 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
8553 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
8554
8555 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
8556 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
8557 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
8558 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
8559 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
8560 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
8561 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
8562 further strengthens the PRNG.
8563 [Bodo Moeller]
8564
8565 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
8566 [Andy Polyakov]
8567
8568 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
8569 an error message in this case.
8570 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8571
8572 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
8573 [Steve Henson]
8574
8575 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
8576 positive and less than q.
8577 [Bodo Moeller]
8578
8579 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
8580 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
8581 that itself.
8582 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
8583
8584 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
8585 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
8586 [Bodo Moeller]
8587
8588 *) Fix OAEP check.
8589 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8590
8591 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
8592 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
8593 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
8594 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
8595 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
8596 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
8597 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
8598 paper.)
8599
8600 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
8601 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
8602 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
8603 detect the supposedly ignored error.
8604
8605 Both problems are now fixed.
8606 [Bodo Moeller]
8607
8608 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
8609 (previously it was 1024).
8610 [Bodo Moeller]
8611
8612 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
8613 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
8614 [Steve Henson]
8615
8616 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
8617 [Steve Henson]
8618
8619 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
8620 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
8621 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
8622 [Steve Henson]
8623
8624 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
8625 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
8626 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
8627 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
8628 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
8629 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
8630 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
8631 environment variables.
8632
8633 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
8634 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
8635 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
8636 [Bodo Moeller]
8637
8638 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
8639 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
8640 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
8641 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
8642 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
8643 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
8644 [Bodo Moeller]
8645
8646 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
8647 versions of 'test'.
8648 [Bodo Moeller]
8649
8650 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
8651
8652 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
8653 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
8654
8655 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
8656 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
8657 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
8658 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
8659 CygWin.
8660 [Richard Levitte]
8661
8662 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
8663 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
8664 amount of data available.
8665 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
8666 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8667
8668 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
8669 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
8670 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
8671 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
8672 [Bodo Moeller]
8673
8674 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
8675 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
8676 and UnixWare.
8677 [Richard Levitte]
8678
8679 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
8680 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
8681 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
8682 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
8683 [Ulf Moeller]
8684
8685 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
8686 [Andy Polyakov]
8687
8688 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
8689 [Richard Levitte]
8690
8691 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
8692 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
8693 [Steve Henson]
8694 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8695
8696 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
8697 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
8698 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
8699 (but broken) behaviour.
8700 [Steve Henson]
8701
8702 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
8703 it when found.
8704 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
8705
8706 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
8707 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
8708 [Bodo Moeller]
8709
8710 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
8711 did not exist.
8712 [Bodo Moeller]
8713
8714 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
8715 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
8716
8717 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
8718 [Richard Levitte]
8719
8720 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
8721 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
8722 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
8723
8724 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
8725 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
8726 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
8727 [Steve Henson]
8728
8729 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
8730 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
8731 [Ulf Moeller]
8732
8733 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
8734 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
8735
8736 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
8737
8738 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
8739
8740 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
8741 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
8742 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
8743 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
8744 [Bodo Moeller]
8745
8746 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
8747 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8748
8749 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
8750 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
8751 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8752
8753 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
8754 was empty.
8755 [Steve Henson]
8756 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8757
8758 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
8759 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
8760 but the code is actually correct.
8761 [Steve Henson]
8762
8763 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
8764 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
8765 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
8766 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
8767 and leaves the highest bit random.
8768 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8769
8770 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
8771 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
8772 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
8773 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
8774 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
8775 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
8776 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
8777 [Bodo Moeller]
8778
8779 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
8780 [Ulf Moeller]
8781
8782 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
8783 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
8784 [Steve Henson]
8785
8786 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
8787 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
8788 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
8789 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
8790 headers.
8791 [Richard Levitte]
8792
8793 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
8794 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
8795 and break the signature.
8796 [Steve Henson]
8797 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8798
8799 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
8800 DH ciphersuites.
8801 [Steve Henson]
8802
8803 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
8804 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
8805 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
8806 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
8807 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
8808 [Bodo Moeller]
8809
8810 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
8811 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8812
8813 *) ./config script fixes.
8814 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
8815
8816 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
8817 [Bodo Moeller]
8818
8819 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
8820 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
8821 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
8822 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
8823 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
8824
8825 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
8826 call failed, free the DSA structure.
8827 [Bodo Moeller]
8828
8829 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
8830 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
8831 [Steve Henson]
8832
8833 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
8834 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
8835 when writing a 32767 byte record.
8836 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
8837
8838 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
8839 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
8840
8841 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
8842 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
8843 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
8844 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
8845 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
8846
8847 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
8848 [Bodo Moeller]
8849
8850 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
8851 [Ulf Möller]
8852
8853 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
8854 [Ulf Möller]
8855
8856 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
8857 [Bodo Moeller]
8858
8859 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
8860 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
8861 [Bodo Moeller]
8862
8863 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
8864 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
8865 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
8866 result of the server certificate verification.)
8867 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8868
8869 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
8870 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
8871 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
8872 [Bodo Moeller]
8873
8874 *) Fix SSL_peek:
8875 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
8876 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
8877 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
8878 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
8879 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
8880 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
8881 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
8882 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
8883 [Bodo Moeller]
8884
8885 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
8886 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
8887 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
8888 happening the other way round.
8889 [Geoff Thorpe]
8890
8891 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
8892 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
8893 [Bodo Moeller]
8894
8895 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
8896 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
8897 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
8898 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
8899 [Richard Levitte]
8900
8901 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
8902 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
8903
8904 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
8905
8906 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
8907 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
8908 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
8909 that.
8910
8911 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
8912
8913 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
8914
8915 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
8916 static ones.
8917 [Richard Levitte]
8918
8919 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
8920
8921 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
8922 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
8923 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
8924 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
8925 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
8926
8927 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
8928 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
8929 matter what.
8930 [Richard Levitte]
8931
8932 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
8933 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8934
8935 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
8936
8937 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
8938 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
8939 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
8940 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
8941 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
8942 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
8943 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
8944 by the Finished messages.
8945 [Bodo Moeller]
8946
8947 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
8948 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
8949
8950 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
8951 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
8952 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
8953 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
8954 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
8955 appropriately.
8956 [Steve Henson]
8957
8958 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
8959 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
8960 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
8961 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
8962 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
8963 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
8964 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
8965 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
8966 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
8967 together.
8968 [Steve Henson]
8969
8970 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
8971 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
8972 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
8973 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
8974
8975 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
8976 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
8977 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
8978 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
8979 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
8980 the answer.
8981
8982 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
8983 been tested well enough.
8984 [Richard Levitte]
8985
8986 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
8987 it can return incorrect results.
8988 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
8989 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
8990 [Bodo Moeller]
8991
8992 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
8993 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
8994 include zero length content when signing messages.
8995 [Steve Henson]
8996
8997 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
8998 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
8999 [Bodo Möller]
9000
9001 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
9002 [Richard Levitte]
9003
9004 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
9005 wrong sign.
9006 [Ulf Möller]
9007
9008 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
9009 packages. The default package contains applications, application
9010 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
9011 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
9012 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
9013 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
9014 [Richard Levitte]
9015
9016 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
9017 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9018
9019 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
9020 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
9021
9022 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
9023 random number < q in the DSA library.
9024 [Ulf Möller]
9025
9026 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
9027 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
9028 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
9029 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
9030 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
9031 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
9032 just makes things more complicated.)
9033 [Bodo Moeller]
9034
9035 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
9036 from EGD.
9037 [Ben Laurie]
9038
9039 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
9040 work better on such systems.
9041 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9042
9043 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
9044 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
9045 keyid to the certificates aux info.
9046 [Steve Henson]
9047
9048 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
9049 if there was more than one signature.
9050 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
9051
9052 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
9053 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
9054 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
9055 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
9056 [Richard Levitte]
9057
9058 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
9059 rather than always using the current time.
9060 [Steve Henson]
9061
9062 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
9063 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
9064 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
9065 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
9066 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
9067 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
9068
9069 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
9070 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
9071
9072 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
9073
9074 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
9075 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
9076 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
9077 the same hash value.
9078
9079 As a result various functions (which were all internal
9080 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
9081 structure. This will break anything that messed round
9082 with X509_STORE internally.
9083
9084 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
9085 exact match, rather than just subject name.
9086
9087 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
9088 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
9089 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
9090 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
9091 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
9092 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
9093 entirely (maybe later...).
9094
9095 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
9096
9097 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
9098 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
9099 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
9100 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
9101 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
9102 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
9103 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
9104 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
9105
9106 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
9107 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
9108
9109 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
9110 to customise the verify behaviour.
9111 [Steve Henson]
9112
9113 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
9114 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
9115 [Steve Henson]
9116
9117 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
9118 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
9119 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
9120 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
9121 request is improperly encoded.
9122 [Steve Henson]
9123
9124 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
9125 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
9126 BIO_write(b, ...).
9127
9128 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
9129 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
9130
9131 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
9132 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
9133 words set to zero.)
9134 [Bodo Moeller]
9135
9136 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
9137 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
9138 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
9139 [Bodo Moeller]
9140
9141 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
9142 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
9143 BIO/fp routines also added.
9144 [Steve Henson]
9145
9146 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
9147 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
9148
9149 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
9150 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
9151 demos/state_machine.
9152 [Ben Laurie]
9153
9154 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
9155 generation and verification.
9156 [Steve Henson]
9157
9158 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
9159 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
9160 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
9161 encode and decode it manually.
9162 [Steve Henson]
9163
9164 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
9165 compile under VC++.
9166 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
9167
9168 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
9169 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
9170 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
9171 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
9172
9173 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
9174 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
9175 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
9176 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
9177 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
9178 [Steve Henson]
9179
9180 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
9181 [Richard Levitte]
9182
9183 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
9184 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
9185 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
9186
9187 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
9188 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
9189 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
9190 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
9191 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
9192 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
9193 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
9194 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
9195
9196 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
9197 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
9198
9199 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:

9201 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE

9204
9205 [Richard Levitte]
9206
9207 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
9208 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
9209 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
9210 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
9211 [Richard Levitte]
9212
9213 *) MD4 implemented.
9214 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
9215
9216 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
9217 [Richard Levitte]
9218
9219 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
9220 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
9221 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
9222 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
9223 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
9224 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
9225 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
9226 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
9227 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
9228 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
9229 short or long names are found.
9230 [Steve Henson]
9231
9232 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
9233 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
9234
9235 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
9236 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
9237 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
9238 version rollback attacks was not effective.
9239
9240 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
9241 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
9242 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
9243 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
9244 [Bodo Moeller]
9245
9246 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
9247 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
9248 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
9249 [Richard Levitte]
9250
9251 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
9252 these print out strings and name structures based on various
9253 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
9254 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
9255 to allow the various flags to be set.
9256 [Steve Henson]
9257
9258 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
9259 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
9260 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
9261 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
9262 dates to be checked.
9263 [Steve Henson]
9264
9265 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
9266 negative public key encodings) on by default,
9267 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
9268 [Steve Henson]
9269
9270 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
9271 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
9272 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
9273 [Steve Henson]
9274
9275 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
9276 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
9277 [Bodo Moeller]
9278
9279 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
9280 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
9281 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
9282 are always statically linked for now, but there are
9283 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
9284 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
9285 [Richard Levitte]
9286
9287 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
9288 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
9289 Random Numbers.
9290 [Ulf Möller]
9291
9292 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
9293 DSA key.
9294 [Steve Henson]
9295
9296 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
9297 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
9298 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
9299 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
9300 form signing output easier to verify.
9301 [Steve Henson]
9302
9303 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
9304 [Steve Henson]
9305
9306 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
9307 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
9308 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
9309 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
9310 are needed because all other string types have virtually
9311 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
9312 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
9313 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
9314 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
9315 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
9316 [Steve Henson]
9317
9318 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
9319
9320 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
9321 the syntax given in objects.README.
9322 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
9323 obj_mac.h.
9324 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
9325 obj_mac.h.
9326
9327 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
9328 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
9329 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
9330 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
9331 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
9332 consistent name changes.
9333 [Richard Levitte]
9334
9335 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
9336 [Bodo Moeller]
9337
9338 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
9339 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
9340 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
9341 environment variable, or the default random state file.
9342 [Richard Levitte]
9343
9344 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
9345 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
9346 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
9347 of safestack.h .
9348 [Steve Henson]
9349
9350 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
9351 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
9352 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
9353 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
9354 [Steve Henson]
9355
9356 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
9357 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
9358 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
9359 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
9360 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
9361 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
9362 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
9363 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
9364 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
9365 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
9366 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
9367 [Steve Henson]
9368
9369 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
9370 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
9371 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
9372 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
9373 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
9374 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
9375 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
9376 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
9377 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
9378 algorithm to openssl-dev.
9379 [Steve Henson]
9380
9381 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
9382 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
9383 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
9384 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
9385
9386 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
9387 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
9388 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
9389 omit any duplicate addresses.
9390 [Steve Henson]
9391
9392 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
9393 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
9394 [Bodo Moeller]
9395
9396 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
9397 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
9398 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
9399 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
9400 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
9401 [Bodo Moeller]
9402
9403 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
9404 software:
9405 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
9406 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
9407 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
9408 Free => OPENSSL_free
9409 [Richard Levitte]
9410
9411 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
9412 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
9413 [Bodo Moeller]
9414
9415 *) CygWin32 support.
9416 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
9417
9418 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
9419 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
9420 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
9421 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
9422 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
9423 approach.
9424 [Geoff Thorpe]
9425
9426 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
9427 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
9428 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
9429 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
9430 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
9431 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
9432 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
9433 [Geoff Thorpe]
9434
9435 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
9436 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
9437 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
9438 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
9439 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
9440 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
9441 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
9442 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
9443 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
9444 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
9445 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
9446 [Bodo Moeller]
9447
9448 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
9449 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
9450 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
9451 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
9452 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
9453
9454 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
9455 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
9456 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
9457 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
9458 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
9459
9460 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
9461 ciphers.
9462
9463 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
9464 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
9465 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
9466 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
9467
9468 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
9469
9470 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
9471 of macros.
9472
9473 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
9474 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
9475 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
9476 flags.
9477
9478 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
9479 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
9480 any installed hardware versions can.
9481 [Steve Henson]
9482
9483 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
9484 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
9485 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
9486 number.
9487 [Bodo Moeller]
9488
9489 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
9490 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
9491 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
9492 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
9493 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
9494
9495 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
9496 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
9497 [Steve Henson]
9498
9499 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
9500 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
9501 [Richard Levitte]
9502
9503 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
9504 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
9505 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
9506 features.
9507 [Steve Henson]
9508
9509 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
9510 [Ulf Möller]
9511
9512 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
9513 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
9514 but no ssl client purpose.
9515 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
9516
9517 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
9518 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
9519 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
9520 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
9521 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
9522 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
9523 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
9524 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
9525 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
9526 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
9527 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
9528 [Steve Henson]
9529
9530 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
9531 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
9532 be obtained from the error queue.
9533 [Bodo Moeller]
9534
9535 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
9536 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
9537 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
9538 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
9539 [Bodo Moeller]
9540
9541 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
9542 [Ulf Möller]
9543
9544 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
9545 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
9546 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
9547 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
9548 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
9549 [Geoff Thorpe]
9550
9551 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
9552 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
9553 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
9554 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
9555 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
9556 [Geoff Thorpe]
9557
9558 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
9559 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
9560 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
9561 may not be NULL.
9562 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
9563
9564 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
9565 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
9566 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
9567 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
9568 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
9569 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
9570 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
9571 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
9572 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
9573 or "the configuration storage API"...
9574
9575 The new configuration file reading functions are:
9576
9577 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
9578 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
9579
9580 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
9581
9582 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
9583
9584 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
9585 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
9586 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
9587 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
9588 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
9589 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
9590 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
9591
9592 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
9593 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
9594 [Richard Levitte]
9595
9596 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
9597 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
9598 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
9599 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
9600 [Bodo Moeller]
9601
9602 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
9603 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
9604 them in a portable way.
9605 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
9606
9607 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
9608
9609 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
9610
9611 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
9612 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
9613
9614 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
9615 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
9616 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
9617 <attili@amaxo.com>]
9618
9619 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
9620 was larger than the MD block size.
9621 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
9622
9623 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
9624 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
9625 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
9626 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
9627 components.
9628 [Steve Henson]
9629
9630 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
9631 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
9632 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
9633
9634 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
9635 discouraged.
9636 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
9637
9638 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
9639 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
9640 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
9641 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
9642 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
9643 Additional arguments are always ignored.
9644
9645 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
9646 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
9647
9648 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
9649 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
9650 [Bodo Moeller]
9651
9652 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
9653 [Bodo Moeller]
9654
9655 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
9656 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
9657 its own key.
9658 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
9659 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
9660 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
9661 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
9662 [Bodo Moeller]
9663
9664 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
9665 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
9666 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
9667 does not suppress any output.
9668 [Richard Levitte]
9669
9670 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
9671 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
9672 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
9673 with all the associated security issues.
9674
9675 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
9676 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
9677 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
9678 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
9679 use the value in the default purpose.
9680 [Steve Henson]
9681
9682 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
9683 and fix a memory leak.
9684 [Steve Henson]
9685
9686 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
9687 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
9688 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
9689 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
9690 [Bodo Moeller]
9691
9692 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
9693 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
9694 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
9695 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
9696 [Bodo Moeller]
9697
9698 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
9699 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
9700 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
9701 [Bodo Moeller]
9702
9703 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
9704 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
9705 [Bodo Moeller]
9706
9707 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
9708 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
9709 which was free.
9710 [Steve Henson]
9711
9712 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
9713 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
9714 [Bodo Moeller]
9715
9716 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
9717 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
9718 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
9719 [Bodo Moeller]
9720
9721 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
9722 number generation fails.
9723 [Bodo Moeller]
9724
9725 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
9726 [Bodo Moeller]
9727
9728 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
9729 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
9730
9731 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
9732 [Ulf Möller]
9733
9734 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
9735 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
9736
9737 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
9738 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
9739
9740 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
9741
9742 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
9743 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
9744 [Steve Henson]
9745
9746 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
9747 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
9748
9749 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
9750 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
9751 [Ulf Möller]
9752
9753 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
9754 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
9755 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
9756 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
9757 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
9758 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
9759
9760 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
9761 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
9762 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
9763 for example.
9764 [Steve Henson]
9765
9766 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
9767 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
9768 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
9769 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
9770 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
9771 counter, some don't.)
9772 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
9773 counters or duplicate objects.
9774 [Steve Henson]
9775
9776 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
9777 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
9778 [Steve Henson]
9779
9780 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
9781 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
9782 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
9783
9784 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
9785 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
9786 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
9787 or -rand.
9788 [Ulf Möller]
9789
9790 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
9791 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
9792 [Steve Henson]
9793
9794 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
9795 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
9796 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
9797 cipher list.
9798 [Steve Henson]
9799
9800 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
9801 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
9802 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
9803 [Steve Henson]
9804
9805 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
9806 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
9807 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
9808 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
9809 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
9810 should work without changes.
9811 [Richard Levitte]
9812
9813 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
9814 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
9815 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
9816 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
9817 must be defined. E.g.,
9818 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
9819 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
9820 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
9821 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
9822
9823 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
9824 record layer.
9825 [Bodo Moeller]
9826
9827 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
9828 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
9829 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
9830 [Steve Henson]
9831
9832 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
9833 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
9834 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
9835 request header lines. Some software needs this.
9836 [Steve Henson]
9837
9838 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
9839 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
9840 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
9841 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
9842 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
9843 is prompted for as usual.
9844 [Steve Henson]
9845
9846 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
9847 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
9848 autodetect the card and use it if present.
9849 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
9850
9851 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
9852 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
9853 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
9854 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
9855 [Steve Henson]
9856
9857 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
9858 [Andy Polyakov]
9859
9860 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
9861 of seed file.
9862 [Steve Henson]
9863
9864 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
9865 [Bodo Moeller]
9866
9867 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
9868 [Steve Henson]
9869
9870 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
9871 bits.
9872 [Ulf Möller]
9873
9874 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
9875 [Ulf Möller]
9876
9877 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
9878 [Andy Polyakov]
9879
9880 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
9881 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
9882 [Ulf Möller]
9883
9884 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
9885 options to produce them.
9886 [Steve Henson]
9887
9888 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
9889 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
9890 [Ulf Möller]
9891
9892 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
9893 for p == 0.
9894 [Ulf Möller]
9895
9896 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
9897 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
9898 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
9899 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
9900 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
9901 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
9902 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
9903 [Steve Henson]
9904
9905 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
9906 [Steve Henson]
9907
9908 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
9909 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
9910 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
9911 [Bodo Moeller]
9912
9913 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
9914 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
9915
9916 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
9917 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
9918 [Ulf Möller]
9919
9920 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
9921 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
9922 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
9923 has already seen).
9924 [Bodo Moeller]
9925
9926 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
9927 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
9928
9929 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
9930 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
9931 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
9932 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
9933 generation becomes much faster.
9934
9935 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
9936 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
9937 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
9938 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
9939 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
9940 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
9941 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
9942 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
9943 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
9944 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
9945 [Bodo Moeller]
9946
9947 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
9948 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
9949 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
9950 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
9951 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
9952 trial division stage.
9953 [Bodo Moeller]
9954
9955 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
9956 as ASN1_TIME.
9957 [Steve Henson]
9958
9959 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
9960 [Steve Henson]
9961
9962 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
9963 [Ulf Möller]
9964
9965 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
9966 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
9967 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
9968 the comments.
9969 [Ulf Möller]
9970
9971 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
9972 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
9973 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
9974 [Bodo Moeller]
9975
9976 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
9977 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
9978 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
9979 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9980
9981 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
9982 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
9983 [Steve Henson]
9984
9985 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
9986 [Ulf Möller]
9987
9988 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
9989 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
9990 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
9991 Rabin-Miller iterations.
9992 [Ulf Möller]
9993
9994 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
9995 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
9996 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
9997 [Ulf Möller]
9998
9999 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
10000 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
10001 (instead of parameters) in future.
10002 [Steve Henson]
10003
10004 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
10005 when a new cipher list is set.
10006 [Steve Henson]
10007
10008 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
10009 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
10010 wrong.
10011
10012 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
10013 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
10014 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
10015
10016 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
10017 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
10018 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
10019 an error is flagged.
10020
10021 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
10022 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
10023 the readability was also increased :-)
10024 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10025
10026 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
10027 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
10028 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
10029 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
10030 as the root CA.
10031 [Steve Henson]
10032
10033 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
10034 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
10035 [Steve Henson]
10036
10037 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
10038 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
10039 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
10040 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
10041 instead.
10042
10043 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
10044 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
10045 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
10046 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
10047 because they handle more complex structures.)
10048 [Steve Henson]
10049
10050 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
10051 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
10052 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
10053 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10054
10055 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
10056 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
10057 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
10058 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
10059 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
10060 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
10061 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
10062 [Ulf Möller]
10063
10064 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
10065 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
10066 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
10067 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
10068 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
10069 [Bodo Moeller]
10070
10071 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
10072 [Bodo Moeller]
10073
10074 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
10075 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
10076 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
10077 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
10078 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
10079 to use this.
10080
10081 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
10082 code.
10083 [Steve Henson]
10084
10085 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
10086 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
10087 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
10088 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
10089 [Steve Henson]
10090
10091 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
10092 [Ulf Möller]
10093
10094 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
10095 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
10096 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
10097 international characters are used.
10098
10099 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
10100 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
10101 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
10102 in ASN1 order.
10103 [Steve Henson]
10104
10105 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
10106 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
10107 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
10108 request.
10109
10110 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
10111 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
10112 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
10113 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
10114 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
10115 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
10116
10117 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
10118 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
10119 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
10120 be handled by the string table functions.
10121
10122 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
10123 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
10124 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
10125 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
10126 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
10127 types at all.
10128 [Steve Henson]
10129
10130 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
10131 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
10132 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
10133 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
10134 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
10135
10136 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
10137 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
10138 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
10139 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
10140 [Bodo Moeller]
10141
10142 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
10143 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
10144 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
10145 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
10146 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
10147 SHA1.
10148 [Andy Polyakov]
10149
10150 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
10151 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
10152 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
10153 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
10154 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
10155 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
10156 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
10157 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
10158
10159 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
10160 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
10161 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
10162 [Steve Henson]
10163
10164 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
10165 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
10166 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
10167 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
10168 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
10169 support to pkcs8 application.
10170 [Steve Henson]
10171
10172 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
10173 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
10174 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
10175 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
10176 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
10177 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
10178 [Bodo Moeller]
10179
10180 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
10181 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
10182 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
10183 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
10184 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
10185 consistency.
10186 [Bodo Moeller]
10187
10188 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
10189 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
10190 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
10191 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
10192 example.
10193 [Steve Henson]
10194
10195 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
10196 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
10197 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
10198 and any application specific purposes.
10199
10200 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
10201 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
10202 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
10203 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
10204 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
10205 if the certificate is self signed.
10206 [Steve Henson]
10207
10208 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
10209 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
10210 [Steve Henson]
10211
10212 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
10213 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
10214 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
10215 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
10216 [Steve Henson]
10217
10218 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
10219 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
10220 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
10221 Update documentation.
10222 [Steve Henson]
10223
10224 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
10225 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
10226 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
10227 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
10228 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
10229 [Steve Henson]
10230
10231 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
10232 for details.
10233 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
10234
10235 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
10236 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
10237 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
10238 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
10239 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
10240 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
10241 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
10242 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
10243 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
10244 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
10245
10246 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
10247
10248 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10249 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10250 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
10251 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
10252 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
10253
10254 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
10255 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
10256 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
10257 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
10258 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
10259 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
10260 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
10261 request additional information:
10262 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
10263 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
10264
10265 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
10266 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
10267 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
10268 options.
10269
10270 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
10271 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
10272
10273 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
10274 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
10275 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
10276
10277 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
10278 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
10279
10280 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
10281 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
10282 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
10283 algorithm.
10284 [Steve Henson]
10285
10286 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
10287 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
10288 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
10289
10290 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
10291 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
10292 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
10293 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
10294 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
10295 included in OpenSSL.
10296 [Steve Henson]
10297
10298 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
10299 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
10300 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
10301 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
10302 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
10303 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
10304 [Bodo Moeller]
10305
10306 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
10307 PKCS12 structure.
10308 [Steve Henson]
10309
10310 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
10311 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
10312 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
10313 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
10314 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
10315 structure.
10316 [Steve Henson]
10317
10318 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
10319 need initialising.
10320 [Steve Henson]
10321
10322 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
10323 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
10324 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
10325 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
10326 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
10327 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
10328 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
10329 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
10330 be maintained manually.
10331
10332 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
10333 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
10334 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
10335 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
10336 work because people forget to call this function]
10337 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
10338 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
10339 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
10340 [Steve Henson]
10341
10342 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
10343 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
10344 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
10345 should be discouraged from doing it.
10346 [Ben Laurie]
10347
10348 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
10349 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
10350 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
10351 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
10352 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
10353 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
10354 [Steve Henson]
10355
10356 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
10357 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
10358 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
10359
10360 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
10361 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
10362 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
10363
10364 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
10365 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
10366 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
10367 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
10368 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
10369 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
10370
10371 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
10372 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
10373 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
10374
10375 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
10376 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
10377 and vice versa.
10378
10379 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
10380 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
10381 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
10382 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
10383 [Steve Henson]
10384
10385 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
10386 [Steve Henson]
10387
10388 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
10389 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
10390 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
10391 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
10392 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
10393 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
10394 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
10395 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
10396 keys so we should be OK.
10397
10398 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
10399 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
10400 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
10401 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
10402 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
10403 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
10404 stay in the name of compatibility.
10405
10406 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
10407 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
10408 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
10409
10410 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
10411 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
10412 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
10413 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
10414 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
10415 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
10416 supplied key).
10417 [Steve Henson]
10418
10419 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
10420 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
10421 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
10422 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
10423 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
10424 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
10425 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
10426 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
10427 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
10428 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
10429 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
10430 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
10431 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
10432 [Steve Henson]
10433
10434 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
10435 [Steve Henson]
10436
10437 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
10438 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
10439 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
10440 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
10441 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
10442 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
10443 single self signed certificate. This means that:
10444 openssl verify ss.pem
10445 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
10446 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
10447 is OK.
10448 [Steve Henson]
10449
10450 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
10451 (and add it to external session representation).
10452 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
10453 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
10454 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
10455 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
10456 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
10457 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
10458 security holes.
10459 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
10460
10461 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
10462 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
10463 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
10464 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
10465
10466 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
10467 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
10468 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
10469 [Steve Henson]
10470
10471 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
10472 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
10473 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
10474 code.
10475 [Steve Henson]
10476
10477 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
10478 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
10479 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
10480
10481 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
10482 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
10483 certificate auxiliary information.
10484 [Steve Henson]
10485
10486 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
10487 the 'enc' command.
10488 [Steve Henson]
10489
10490 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
10491 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
10492 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
10493 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
10494 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
10495 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
10496 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
10497 [Richard Levitte]
10498
10499 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
10500 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
10501 [Steve Henson]
10502
10503 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
10504 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
10505 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
10506 manpages and fix a few bugs.
10507 [Steve Henson]
10508
10509 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
10510 [Steve Henson]
10511
10512 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
10513 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
10514 [Steve Henson]
10515
10516 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
10517 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
10518 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
10519 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
10520 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
10521 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
10522 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
10523 using the new 'x509' options.
10524
10525 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
10526 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
10527 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
10528 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
10529 for all purposes.
10530 [Steve Henson]
10531
10532 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
10533 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
10534 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
10535 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
10536 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
10537 [Mark Cox]
10538
10539 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
10540 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
10541 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
10542 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
10543 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
10544 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
10545 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
10546 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
10547 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
10548 the key length and effective key length are equal.
10549 [Steve Henson]
10550
10551 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
10552 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
10553 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
10554 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
10555 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
10556 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
10557 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
10558 [Steve Henson]
10559
10560 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
10561 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
10562 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
10563 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
10564 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
10565 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
10566 openssl.cnf for more info.
10567 [Steve Henson]
10568
10569 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
10570 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
10571 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
10572 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
10573 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
10574 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
10575 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
10576 md should be large enough anyway.
10577 [Bodo Moeller]
10578
10579 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
10580 for handling the random seed file.
10581
10582 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
10583 ca,
10584 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
10585 s_client,
10586 s_server,
10587 x509 (when signing).
10588 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
10589 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
10590 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
10591
10592 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
10593 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
10594 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
10595 that support '-rand'.
10596 [Bodo Moeller]
10597
10598 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
10599 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
10600 [Bodo Moeller]
10601
10602 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
10603 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
10604 [Bill Perry]
10605
10606 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
10607 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
10608 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
10609 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
10610 is suitable.
10611 [Steve Henson]
10612
10613 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
10614 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
10615 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
10616 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
10617 [Steve Henson]
10618
10619 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
10620 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
10621 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
10622 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
10623 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
10624 print out all the purposes.
10625 [Steve Henson]
10626
10627 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
10628 functions.
10629 [Steve Henson]
10630
10631 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
10632 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
10633 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
10634 single function call.
10635 [Steve Henson]
10636
10637 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
10638 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
10639 [Andy Polyakov]
10640
10641 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
10642 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
10643 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
10644 [Steve Henson]
10645
10646 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
10647 when producing the local key id.
10648 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10649
10650 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
10651 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
10652 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
10653 "server.pem".
10654 [Steve Henson]
10655
10656 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
10657 a public key to be input or output. For example:
10658 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
10659 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
10660 [Steve Henson]
10661
10662 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
10663 in the message. This was handled by allowing
10664 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
10665 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
10666
10667 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
10668 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
10669 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
10670 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10671
10672 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
10673 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
10674 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
10675 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
10676 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
10677 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
10678 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
10679 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
10680 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
10681 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
10682 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
10683 trivial: move one line.
10684 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
10685
10686 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
10687 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
10688 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
10689 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
10690 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
10691 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
10692 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
10693 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
10694 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
10695 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
10696 with an event loop for example.
10697 [Steve Henson]
10698
10699 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
10700 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
10701 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
10702 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
10703 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
10704 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
10705 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
10706 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
10707 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
10708 [Steve Henson]
10709
10710 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
10711 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
10712 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
10713 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
10714 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
10715 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
10716 [Steve Henson]
10717
10718 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
10719 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
10720 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
10721 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
10722
10723 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
10724 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
10725 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
10726 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
10727 key generation.
10728 [Steve Henson]
10729
10730 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
10731 (still largely untested)
10732 [Bodo Moeller]
10733
10734 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
10735 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
10736 [Steve Henson]
10737
10738 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
10739 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
10740 [Steve Henson]
10741
10742 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
10743 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
10744 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
10745 [Bodo Moeller]
10746
10747 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
10748 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
10749 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
10750 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
10751 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
10752 [Steve Henson]
10753
10754 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
10755 [Andy Polyakov]
10756
10757 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
10758 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
10759 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
10760 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
10761 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
10762 in ca.
10763 [Steve Henson]
10764
10765 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
10766 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
10767 1.OU="Unit name 1"
10768 2.OU="Unit name 2"
10769 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
10770 [Steve Henson]
10771
10772 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
10773 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
10774 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
10775 are otherwise ignored at present.
10776 [Steve Henson]
10777
10778 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
10779 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
10780 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
10781 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
10782 copied until the next read.
10783 [Steve Henson]
10784
10785 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
10786 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
10787 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
10788 [Steve Henson]
10789
10790 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
10791 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
10792 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
10793 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
10794 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
10795 associated functions.
10796 [Steve Henson]
10797
10798 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
10799 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
10800 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
10801 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
10802 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
10803 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
10804 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
10805 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
10806 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
10807 memory BIOs.
10808 [Steve Henson]
10809
10810 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
10811 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
10812 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
10813 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
10814 [Bodo Moeller]
10815
10816 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
10817 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
10818 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
10819 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
10820 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
10821 functionality.
10822 [Steve Henson]
10823
10824 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
10825 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
10826 under Win32.
10827 [Steve Henson]
10828
10829 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
10830 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
10831 extensions to be obtained and added.
10832 [Steve Henson]
10833
10834 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
10835 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
10836 [Bodo Moeller]
10837
10838 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
10839
10840 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
10841 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10842
10843 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
10844 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
10845
10846 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
10847 program.
10848 [Steve Henson]
10849
10850 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
10851 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
10852 DH parameters contain its length).
10853
10854 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
10855 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
10856 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
10857 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
10858 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
10859 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
10860 utter importance to use
10861 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10862 or
10863 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10864 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
10865 attacks may become possible!
10866 [Bodo Moeller]
10867
10868 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
10869 [Bodo Moeller]
10870
10871 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
10872 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
10873 [Steve Henson]
10874
10875 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
10876 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
10877 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
10878 or long name.
10879 [Steve Henson]
10880
10881 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
10882 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
10883 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
10884 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
10885 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
10886 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
10887 private key operations.
10888 [Steve Henson]
10889
10890 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
10891 [Andy Polyakov]
10892
10893 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
10894 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
10895 to
10896 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
10897 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
10898 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
10899 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
10900 the password callback is called.
10901 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
10902
10903 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
10904
10905 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
10906 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
10907 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
10908 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
10909 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
10910 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
10911 this will work.
10912
10913 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
10914 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
10915 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
10916 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
10917 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
10918 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
10919 [Bodo Moeller]
10920
10921 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
10922 [Andy Polyakov]
10923
10924 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
10925 delete an unused file.
10926 [Ulf Möller]
10927
10928 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
10929 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
10930 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
10931 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
10932 [Steve Henson]
10933
10934 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
10935 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
10936 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
10937 of an error.
10938 [Bodo Moeller]
10939
10940 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
10941 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
10942 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
10943
10944 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
10945 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
10946 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
10947 comparison" warnings.
10948 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
10949 [Steve Henson]
10950
10951 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
10952 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
10953 derived keys are printed to stderr.
10954 [Steve Henson]
10955
10956 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
10957 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
10958
10959 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
10960 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
10961
10962 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
10963 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
10964 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
10965
10966 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
10967 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
10968 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
10969 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
10970 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
10971 this bug.
10972 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
10973
10974 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
10975 The interface is as follows:
10976 Applications can use
10977 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
10978 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
10979 "off" is now the default.
10980 The library internally uses
10981 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
10982 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
10983 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
10984
10985 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
10986 even the default) are now avoided.
10987
10988 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
10989 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
10990 than just having a counter.
10991
10992 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
10993
10994 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
10995 extensions.
10996 [Bodo Moeller]
10997
10998 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
10999 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
11000 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
11001 Initial "mode" flags are:
11002
11003 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
11004 a single record has been written.
11005 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
11006 retries use the same buffer location.
11007 (But all of the contents must be
11008 copied!)
11009 [Bodo Moeller]
11010
11011 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
11012 worked.
11013
11014 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
11015 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
11016
11017 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
11018 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
11019 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
11020 [Steve Henson]
11021
11022 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
11023 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
11024 test programs.
11025 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
11026
11027 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
11028 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
11029 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
11030 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
11031 point to the end.
11032 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
11033 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
11034
11035 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
11036 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
11037 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
11038 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
11039 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
11040 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
11041 [Steve Henson]
11042
11043 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
11044 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
11045 necessary function names.
11046 [Steve Henson]
11047
11048 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
11049 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
11050 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
11051 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
11052 [Bodo Moeller]
11053
11054 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
11055 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
11056 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
11057 [Steve Henson]
11058
11059 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
11060 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
11061 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
11062 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
11063 such programs?)
11064 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
11065 need locks.
11066 [Bodo Moeller]
11067
11068 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
11069 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
11070 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
11071 [Bodo Moeller]
11072
11073 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
11074 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
11075 appropriate.
11076 [Bodo Moeller]
11077
11078 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
11079 for the encoded length.
11080 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
11081
11082 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
11083 [Steve Henson]
11084
11085 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
11086 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
11087 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
11088 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
11089 [Steve Henson]
11090
11091 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
11092 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
11093 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11094
11095 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
11096 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
11097 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
11098 unusual formatting.
11099 [Steve Henson]
11100
11101 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
11102 to use the new extension code.
11103 [Steve Henson]
11104
11105 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
11106 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
11107 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
11108 constant.
11109 [Steve Henson]
11110
11111 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
11112 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
11113 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
11114 [Bodo Moeller]
11115
11116 #if 0
11117 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
11118 [Ben Laurie]
11119 #else
11120 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
11121 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
11122 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
11123 #endif
11124
11125 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
11126 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
11127 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
11128 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
11129 [Ben Laurie]
11130
11131 *) DES library cleanups.
11132 [Ulf Möller]
11133
11134 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
11135 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
11136 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
11137 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
11138 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
11139 of v2.0.
11140 [Steve Henson]
11141
11142 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
11143 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
11144 [Bodo Moeller]
11145
11146 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
11147 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
11148 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
11149 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
11150 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
11151 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
11152 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
11153 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
11154 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
11155 [Steve Henson]
11156
11157 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
11158 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
11159 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
11160 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
11161 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
11162 value doesn't matter.
11163 [Steve Henson]
11164
11165 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
11166 support mutable.
11167 [Ben Laurie]
11168
11169 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
11170 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
11171 "linux-sparc" configuration.
11172 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
11173
11174 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
11175 [Ulf Möller]
11176
11177 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
11178 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
11179 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11180
11181 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
11182 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11183
11184 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
11185 [Ben Laurie]
11186
11187 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
11188 [Ben Laurie]
11189
11190 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
11191 [Ben Laurie]
11192
11193 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
11194 [Bodo Moeller]
11195
11196
11197 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
11198
11199 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
11200
11201 *) Updated some demos.
11202 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
11203
11204 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
11205 [Wu Zhigang]
11206
11207 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
11208 [Steve Henson]
11209
11210 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
11211 [Steve Henson]
11212
11213 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
11214 instead of using a fixed path.
11215 [Bodo Moeller]
11216
11217 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
11218 [Andy Polyakov]
11219
11220 *) Improvements for VMS support.
11221 [Richard Levitte]
11222
11223
11224 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
11225
11226 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
11227 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
11228 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11229
11230 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
11231 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
11232 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
11233 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
11234 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
11235 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
11236 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
11237 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
11238 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
11239 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
11240 [Steve Henson]
11241
11242 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
11243 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
11244 [Steve Henson]
11245
11246 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
11247 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
11248 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
11249 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
11250 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
11251
11252 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
11253 [Bodo Moeller]
11254
11255 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
11256 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
11257 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
11258 [Steve Henson]
11259
11260 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
11261 [Ben Laurie]
11262
11263 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
11264 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
11265 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
11266 key elements as negative integers.
11267 [Steve Henson]
11268
11269 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
11270 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11271
11272 *) VMS support.
11273 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
11274
11275 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
11276 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
11277 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
11278 [Steve Henson]
11279
11280 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
11281 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
11282 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
11283 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
11284 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
11285 [Bodo Moeller]
11286
11287 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
11288 [Ulf Möller]
11289
11290 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
11291 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
11292 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
11293 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11294
11295 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
11296 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
11297 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
11298
11299 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
11300 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
11301 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
11302 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
11303 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
11304 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
11305 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
11306 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
11307 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
11308
11309 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
11310 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
11311 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
11312 does not influence s as it used to.
11313
11314 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
11315 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
11316 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
11317 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
11318 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
11319 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
11320 [Bodo Moeller]
11321
11322 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
11323 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
11324 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
11325 key type.
11326 [Steve Henson]
11327
11328 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
11329 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
11330 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
11331 and 'x509').
11332 [Steve Henson]
11333
11334 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
11335 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
11336 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
11337 extension option.
11338 [Steve Henson]
11339
11340 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
11341 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
11342 [Ben Laurie]
11343
11344 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
11345 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11346
11347 *) Support Mingw32.
11348 [Ulf Möller]
11349
11350 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
11351 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11352
11353 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
11354 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11355
11356 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
11357 [Ulf Möller]
11358
11359 *) Update HPUX configuration.
11360 [Anonymous]
11361
11362 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
11363 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11364
11365 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
11366 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
11367 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
11368 DER-encoded.)
11369 [Bodo Moeller]
11370
11371 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
11372 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
11373 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
11374 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
11375 now it really counts the depth.
11376 [Bodo Moeller]
11377
11378 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
11379 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
11380 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
11381 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
11382 didn't match the private key).
11383
11384 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
11385 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
11386 connection using the SSL_CTX).
11387 [Bodo Moeller]
11388
11389 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
11390 [Ulf Möller]
11391
11392 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
11393 David Harris.
11394 [Bodo Moeller]
11395
11396 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
11397 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
11398 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
11399 [Bodo Moeller]
11400
11401 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
11402 [Bodo Moeller]
11403
11404 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
11405 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
11406 such as /usr/local/bin.
11407 [Bodo Moeller]
11408
11409 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
11410 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11411
11412 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
11413 [Ulf Möller]
11414
11415 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
11416 extension adding in x509 utility.
11417 [Steve Henson]
11418
11419 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
11420 [Ulf Möller]
11421
11422 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
11423 prototypes.
11424 [Steve Henson]
11425
11426 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
11427 [Ulf Möller]
11428
11429 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
11430 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
11431 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
11432 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
11433 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
11434 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
11435 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
11436 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
11437 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
11438 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
11439 [Steve Henson]
11440
11441 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
11442 [Bodo Moeller]
11443
11444 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
11445 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
11446 [Bodo Moeller]
11447
11448 *) Fix some race conditions.
11449 [Bodo Moeller]
11450
11451 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
11452 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
11453 [Steve Henson]
11454
11455 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
11456 [Ulf Möller]
11457
11458 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
11459 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
11460 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
11461 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
11462
11463 *) Fix lots of warnings.
11464 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11465
11466 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
11467 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
11468 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11469
11470 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
11471 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11472
11473 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
11474 [Ulf Möller]
11475
11476 *) Fix typos in error codes.
11477 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
11478
11479 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
11480 [Ulf Möller]
11481
11482 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
11483 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11484
11485 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
11486 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
11487 [Steve Henson]
11488
11489 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
11490 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
11491 [Ben Laurie]
11492
11493 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
11494 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
11495 [Steve Henson]
11496
11497 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
11498 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
11499 [Steve Henson]
11500
11501 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
11502 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
11503 [Steve Henson]
11504
11505 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
11506 support typesafe stack.
11507 [Steve Henson]
11508
11509 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
11510 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
11511
11512 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
11513 old X509V3 handling code.
11514 [Steve Henson]
11515
11516 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
11517 [Ulf Möller]
11518
11519 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
11520 [Bodo Moeller]
11521
11522 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
11523 [Ben Laurie]
11524
11525 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
11526 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
11527
11528 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
11529 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
11530 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
11531 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
11532 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
11533 [Ben Laurie]
11534
11535 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
11536 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
11537 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
11538 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
11539 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
11540
11541 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
11542 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
11543 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
11544 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11545
11546 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
11547 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
11548 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
11549 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11550
11551 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
11552 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
11553 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
11554 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
11555 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
11556 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
11557 [Bodo Moeller]
11558
11559 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
11560 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
11561 [Bodo Moeller]
11562
11563 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
11564 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
11565 [Ulf Möller]
11566
11567 *) Tweaks to Configure
11568 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11569
11570 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
11571 yet...
11572 [Steve Henson]
11573
11574 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
11575 [Ulf Möller]
11576
11577 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
11578 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
11579 [Ulf Möller]
11580
11581 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
11582 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
11583 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
11584 [Bodo Moeller]
11585
11586 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
11587 [Bodo Moeller]
11588
11589 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
11590 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
11591 [Steve Henson]
11592
11593 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
11594 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
11595 to library startup routines.
11596 [Steve Henson]
11597
11598 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
11599 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
11600 codes along the way.
11601 [Steve Henson]
11602
11603 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
11604 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
11605 objects to objects.h
11606 [Steve Henson]
11607
11608 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
11609 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
11610 [Steve Henson]
11611
11612 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
11613 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
11614
11615 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
11616 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
11617 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
11618
11619 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
11620 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11621 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11622
11623 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
11624 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
11625 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
11626
11627
11628 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
11629
11630 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
11631 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
11632 [Ben Laurie]
11633
11634 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
11635 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
11636 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
11637 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
11638 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
11639
11640 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
11641 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
11642 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
11643 document.
11644 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11645
11646 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
11647 Malloc, Free.
11648 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
11649
11650 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
11651 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11652
11653 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
11654 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
11655 if someone would make that last step automatic.
11656 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
11657
11658 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
11659 [Ben Laurie]
11660
11661 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
11662 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
11663 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
11664 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
11665 [Steve Henson]
11666
11667 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
11668 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
11669 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
11670 [Steve Henson]
11671
11672 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
11673 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
11674 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
11675 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
11676 installed as `perl').
11677 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11678
11679 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
11680 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11681
11682 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
11683 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
11684 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
11685 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
11686 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
11687 [Steve Henson]
11688
11689 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
11690 [Ben Laurie]
11691
11692 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
11693 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
11694 is horrible: I feel ill....
11695 [Steve Henson]
11696
11697 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
11698 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
11699 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
11700 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
11701 [Steve Henson]
11702
11703 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
11704 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11705
11706 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
11707 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
11708 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
11709 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11710
11711 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
11712 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
11713 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
11714 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
11715 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
11716 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
11717 openssl_bio.xs.
11718 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11719
11720 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
11721 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11722
11723 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
11724 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
11725
11726 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
11727 [Ben Laurie]
11728
11729 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
11730 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
11731 in CRLs.
11732 [Steve Henson]
11733
11734 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
11735 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
11736 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
11737 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
11738 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
11739 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
11740 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
11741 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
11742 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
11743 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
11744 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11745
11746 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
11747 [Ben Laurie]
11748
11749 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
11750 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
11751 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
11752 for linking it into DSOs.
11753 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11754
11755 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
11756 Fixed.
11757 [Ben Laurie]
11758
11759 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
11760 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
11761 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
11762 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
11763 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
11764 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11765
11766 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
11767 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
11768 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
11769 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
11770 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
11771 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
11772 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11773
11774 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
11775 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
11776 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
11777 encryption.
11778 [Ben Laurie]
11779
11780 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
11781 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
11782 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
11783 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
11784 [Steve Henson]
11785
11786 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
11787 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
11788 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
11789 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
11790 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
11791 field as blank.
11792 [Steve Henson]
11793
11794 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
11795 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
11796 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
11797 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
11798 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11799
11800 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
11801 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
11802 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11803
11804 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
11805 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11806
11807 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
11808 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
11809 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
11810 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
11811 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
11812 [Steve Henson]
11813
11814 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
11815 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
11816 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
11817 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
11818 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
11819 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
11820 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
11821 [Ben Laurie]
11822
11823 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
11824 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
11825 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
11826 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
11827 [Ben Laurie]
11828
11829 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
11830 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
11831
11832 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
11833 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
11834 [Steve Henson]
11835
11836 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
11837 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
11838 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
11839 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
11840 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
11841 (e.g. s_server).
11842 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
11843 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
11844 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
11845 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
11846 no way to reconfigure them.
11847 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
11848 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
11849 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
11850 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
11851 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
11852 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11853
11854 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
11855 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
11856 recognized by the users.
11857 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11858
11859 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
11860 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
11861 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
11862 already masked variable.
11863 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11864
11865 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
11866 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11867
11868 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
11869 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
11870 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
11871 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11872
11873 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
11874 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
11875 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11876
11877 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
11878 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
11879 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
11880 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
11881 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
11882 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
11883 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
11884 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
11885 now, too.
11886 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11887
11888 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
11889 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
11890 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11891
11892 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
11893 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
11894 config file.
11895 [Steve Henson]
11896
11897 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
11898 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11899
11900 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
11901 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
11902 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
11903 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
11904 [Ben Laurie]
11905
11906 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
11907 [Steve Henson]
11908
11909 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
11910 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11911
11912 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
11913 [Ben Laurie]
11914
11915 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
11916 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
11917 [Steve Henson]
11918
11919 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
11920 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
11921 [Steve Henson]
11922
11923 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
11924 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
11925 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
11926 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
11927 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
11928 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
11929 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
11930 Ben Laurie]
11931
11932 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
11933 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11934
11935 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
11936 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
11937 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
11938 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
11939 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11940
11941 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
11942 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
11943 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
11944 [Steve Henson]
11945
11946 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
11947 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
11948 an example.
11949 [Steve Henson]
11950
11951 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
11952 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
11953 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11954
11955 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
11956 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
11957 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
11958 build instructions.
11959 [Steve Henson]
11960
11961 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
11962 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
11963 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
11964 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
11965 [Steve Henson]
11966
11967 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
11968 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
11969 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
11970 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
11971 [Ben Laurie]
11972
11973 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
11974 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
11975 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
11976 so it wasn't spotted.
11977 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
11978
11979 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
11980 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
11981 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
11982 vectors if you have them.
11983 [Ben Laurie]
11984
11985 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
11986 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
11987 [Ben Laurie]
11988
11989 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
11990 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
11991 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
11992 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
11993 If you do a:
11994 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
11995 it will update them.
11996 [Steve Henson]
11997
11998 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
11999 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
12000 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
12001 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
12002 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
12003 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
12004 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
12005 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12006
12007 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
12008 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
12009 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
12010 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
12011 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
12012 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
12013 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
12014 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
12015 the crypto/md/ stuff).
12016 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12017
12018 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
12019 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
12020 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
12021 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
12022 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
12023 [Steve Henson]
12024
12025 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
12026 INTEGER code.
12027 [Steve Henson]
12028
12029 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
12030 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12031
12032 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
12033 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12034
12035 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
12036 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
12037 [Ben Laurie]
12038
12039 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
12040 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
12041
12042 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
12043 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
12044
12045 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
12046 [Steve Henson]
12047
12048 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
12049 few typos.
12050 [Steve Henson]
12051
12052 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
12053 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
12054 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
12055 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12056
12057 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12058 [Steve Henson]
12059
12060 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12061 [Steve Henson]
12062
12063 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
12064 [Steve Henson]
12065
12066 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
12067 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
12068 [Steve Henson]
12069
12070 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
12071 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
12072 CA extensions.
12073 [Steve Henson]
12074
12075 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
12076 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
12077 [Steve Henson]
12078
12079 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
12080 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
12081 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
12082 [Steve Henson]
12083
12084 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
12085 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
12086 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
12087 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
12088 properly to be processed.
12089 [Steve Henson]
12090
12091 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
12092 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
12093 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
12094 [Ben Laurie]
12095
12096 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
12097 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
12098
12099 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
12100 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
12101 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
12102 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
12103 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
12104 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
12105 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
12106 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
12107 or delete all the .err files.
12108 [Steve Henson]
12109
12110 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
12111 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
12112 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
12113 to regenerate it if needed.
12114 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
12115 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
12116
12117 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
12118 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12119
12120 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
12121 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
12122 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
12123 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
12124 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
12125 [Steve Henson]
12126
12127 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
12128 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12129
12130 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
12131 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12132
12133 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
12134 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
12135 error, but didn't set one).
12136 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12137
12138 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
12139 [Ben Laurie]
12140
12141 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
12142 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
12143 [Steve Henson]
12144
12145 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
12146 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
12147
12148 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
12149 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
12150 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
12151 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
12152 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
12153 OID is not part of the table.
12154 [Steve Henson]
12155
12156 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
12157 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
12158 [Ben Laurie]
12159
12160 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
12161 [Ben Laurie]
12162
12163 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
12164 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
12165 was "1234").
12166 [Steve Henson]
12167
12168 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
12169 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
12170
12171 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
12172 NULL pointers.
12173 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12174
12175 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
12176 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12177
12178 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
12179 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12180
12181 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
12182 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12183
12184 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
12185 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
12186 [Ben Laurie]
12187
12188 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
12189 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
12190 [Steve Henson]
12191
12192 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
12193 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12194
12195 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
12196 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12197
12198 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
12199 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12200
12201 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
12202 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12203
12204 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
12205 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
12206 unused in the certificate verification process.
12207 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12208
12209 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
12210 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
12211 [Steve Henson]
12212
12213 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
12214 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
12215 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
12216
12217 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
12218 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
12219 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
12220 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
12221 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
12222
12223 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
12224 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
12225 [Steve Henson]
12226
12227 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
12228 [Steve Henson]
12229
12230 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
12231 [Paul Sutton]
12232
12233 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
12234 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
12235
12236 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
12237 [Ben Laurie]
12238
12239 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
12240 [Ben Laurie]
12241
12242 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
12243 [Ben Laurie]
12244
12245 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
12246 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
12247 other error libraries.
12248 [Steve Henson]
12249
12250 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
12251 [Steve Henson]
12252
12253 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
12254 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
12255 be read in.
12256 [Steve Henson]
12257
12258 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
12259 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
12260 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
12261 the new set of documentation files.
12262 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12263
12264 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
12265 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
12266 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
12267 number of arguments.
12268 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
12269
12270 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
12271 [Ben Laurie]
12272
12273 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
12274 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
12275 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12276
12277 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
12278 [Ben Laurie]
12279
12280 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
12281 nextstep
12282 ncr-scde
12283 unixware-2.0
12284 unixware-2.0-pentium
12285 sco5-cc.
12286 [Ben Laurie]
12287
12288 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
12289 before they are needed.
12290 [Ben Laurie]
12291
12292 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
12293 [Ben Laurie]
12294
12295
12296 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
12297
12298 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
12299 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
12300 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12301
12302 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
12303 [Paul Sutton]
12304
12305 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
12306 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
12307 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12308
12309 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
12310 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
12311 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
12312
12313 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
12314 when "ssleay" is still not found.
12315 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12316
12317 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
12318 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
12319
12320 *) Updated the README file.
12321 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12322
12323 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
12324 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
12325 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12326
12327 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
12328 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
12329 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12330
12331 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
12332 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
12333 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
12334 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
12335 o removed obsolete TODO file
12336 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
12337 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12338
12339 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
12340 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
12341 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
12342 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
12343 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
12344 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
12345 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12346
12347 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
12348 [Mark J. Cox]
12349
12350 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
12351 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
12352 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
12353 summer 1998.
12354 [The OpenSSL Project]
12355
12356
12357 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
12358
12359 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
12360 [Eric A. Young]
12361
12362 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
12363 [Eric A. Young]
12364
12365 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
12366 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
12367 [Eric A. Young]
12368
12369 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
12370 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
12371 available).
12372 [Eric A. Young]
12373
12374 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
12375 binary structures
12376 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
12377
12378 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
12379 [Eric A. Young]
12380
12381 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
12382 [Eric A. Young]
12383
12384 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
12385 [Eric A. Young]
12386
12387 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
