5 This is a high-level summary of the most important changes.
6 For a full list of changes, see the git commit log; for example,
7 https://github.com/openssl/openssl/commits/ and pick the appropriate
8 release branch.

10 Changes between 1.1.1 and 3.0.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
11
12 *) Removed include/openssl/opensslconf.h.in and replaced it with
13 include/openssl/configuration.h.in, which differs in not including
14 <openssl/macros.h>. A short header include/openssl/opensslconf.h
15 was added to include both.
16
17 This allows internal hacks where one might need to modify the set
18 of configured macros, for example this if deprecated symbols are
19 still supposed to be available internally:
20
21 #include <openssl/configuration.h>
22
23 #undef OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED
24 #define OPENSSL_SUPPRESS_DEPRECATED
25
26 #include <openssl/macros.h>
27
28 This should not be used by applications that use the exported
29 symbols, as that will lead to linking errors.
30 [Richard Levitte]
31
32 *) Fixed an an overflow bug in the x64_64 Montgomery squaring procedure
33 used in exponentiation with 512-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are
34 affected. Analysis suggests that attacks against 2-prime RSA1024,
35 3-prime RSA1536, and DSA1024 as a result of this defect would be very
36 difficult to perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH512
37 are considered just feasible. However, for an attack the target would
38 have to re-use the DH512 private key, which is not recommended anyway.
39 Also applications directly using the low level API BN_mod_exp may be
40 affected if they use BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
41 (CVE-2019-1551)
42 [Andy Polyakov]
43
44 *) Most memory-debug features have been deprecated, and the functionality
45 replaced with no-ops.
46 [Rich Salz]
47
48 *) Introduced a new method type and API, OSSL_SERIALIZER, to
49 represent generic serializers. An implementation is expected to
50 be able to serialize an object associated with a given name (such
51 as an algorithm name for an asymmetric key) into forms given by
52 implementation properties.
53
54 Serializers are primarily used from inside libcrypto, through
55 calls to functions like EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
56 PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() and similar.
57
58 Serializers are specified in such a way that they can be made to
59 directly handle the provider side portion of an object, if this
60 provider side part comes from the same provider as the serializer
61 itself, but can also be made to handle objects in parametrized
62 form (as an OSSL_PARAM array of data). This allows a provider to
63 offer generic serializers as a service for any other provider.
64 [Richard Levitte]
65
66 *) Added a .pragma directive to the syntax of configuration files, to
67 allow varying behavior in a supported and predictable manner.
68 Currently added pragma:
69
70 .pragma dollarid:on
71
72 This allows dollar signs to be a keyword character unless it's
73 followed by a opening brace or parenthesis. This is useful for
74 platforms where dollar signs are commonly used in names, such as
75 volume names and system directory names on VMS.
76 [Richard Levitte]
77
78 *) Added functionality to create an EVP_PKEY from user data. This
79 is effectively the same as creating a RSA, DH or DSA object and
80 then assigning them to an EVP_PKEY, but directly using algorithm
81 agnostic EVP functions. A benefit is that this should be future
82 proof for public key algorithms to come.
83 [Richard Levitte]
84
85 *) Change the interpretation of the '--api' configuration option to
86 mean that this is a desired API compatibility level with no
87 further meaning. The previous interpretation, that this would
88 also mean to remove all deprecated symbols up to and including
89 the given version, no requires that 'no-deprecated' is also used
90 in the configuration.
91
92 When building applications, the desired API compatibility level
93 can be set with the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT macro like before. For
94 API compatibility version below 3.0, the old style numerical
95 value is valid as before, such as -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L.
96 For version 3.0 and on, the value is expected to be the decimal
97 value calculated from the major and minor version like this:
98
99 MAJOR * 10000 + MINOR * 100
100
101 Examples:
102
103 -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=30000 For 3.0
104 -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=30200 For 3.2
105
106 To hide declarations that are deprecated up to and including the
107 given API compatibility level, -DOPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED must be
108 given when building the application as well.
109 [Richard Levitte]
110
111 *) Added the X509_LOOKUP_METHOD called X509_LOOKUP_store, to allow
112 access to certificate and CRL stores via URIs and OSSL_STORE
113 loaders.
114
115 This adds the following functions:
116
117 X509_LOOKUP_store()
118 X509_STORE_load_file()
119 X509_STORE_load_path()
120 X509_STORE_load_store()
121 SSL_add_store_cert_subjects_to_stack()
122 SSL_CTX_set_default_verify_store()
123 SSL_CTX_load_verify_file()
124 SSL_CTX_load_verify_dir()
125 SSL_CTX_load_verify_store()
126
127 Also, the following functions are now deprecated:
128
129 - X509_STORE_load_locations() (use X509_STORE_load_file(),
130 X509_STORE_load_path() or X509_STORE_load_store() instead)
131 - SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations() (use SSL_CTX_load_verify_file(),
132 SSL_CTX_load_verify_dir() or SSL_CTX_load_verify_store() instead)
133 [Richard Levitte]
134
135 *) Added a new method to gather entropy on VMS, based on SYS$GET_ENTROPY.
136 The presence of this system service is determined at run-time.
137 [Richard Levitte]
138
139 *) Added functionality to create an EVP_PKEY context based on data
140 for methods from providers. This takes an algorithm name and a
141 property query string and simply stores them, with the intent
142 that any operation that uses this context will use those strings
143 to fetch the needed methods implicitly, thereby making the port
144 of application written for pre-3.0 OpenSSL easier.
145 [Richard Levitte]
146
147 *) The undocumented function NCONF_WIN32() has been deprecated; for
148 conversion details see the HISTORY section of doc/man5/config.pod
149 [Rich Salz]
150
151 *) Introduced the new functions EVP_DigestSignInit_ex() and
152 EVP_DigestVerifyInit_ex(). The macros EVP_DigestSignUpdate() and
153 EVP_DigestVerifyUpdate() have been converted to functions. See the man
154 pages for further details.
155 [Matt Caswell]
156
157 *) Most common options (such as -rand/-writerand, TLS version control, etc)
158 were refactored and point to newly-enhanced descriptions in openssl.pod
159 [Rich Salz]
160
161 *) Over two thousand fixes were made to the documentation, including:
162 adding missing command flags, better style conformance, documentation
163 of internals, etc.
164 [Rich Salz, Richard Levitte]
165
166 *) s390x assembly pack: add hardware-support for P-256, P-384, P-521,
167 X25519, X448, Ed25519 and Ed448.
168 [Patrick Steuer]
169
170 *) Print all values for a PKCS#12 attribute with 'openssl pkcs12', not just
171 the first value.
172 [Jon Spillett]
173
174 *) Deprecated the public definition of ERR_STATE as well as the function
175 ERR_get_state(). This is done in preparation of making ERR_STATE an
176 opaque type.
177 [Richard Levitte]
178
179 *) Added ERR functionality to give callers access to the stored function
180 names that have replaced the older function code based functions.
181
182 New functions are ERR_get_error_func(), ERR_peek_error_func(),
183 ERR_peek_last_error_func(), ERR_get_error_data(), ERR_peek_error_data(),
184 ERR_peek_last_error_data(), ERR_get_error_all(), ERR_peek_error_all()
185 and ERR_peek_last_error_all().
186
187 These functions have become deprecated: ERR_get_error_line_data(),
188 ERR_peek_error_line_data(), ERR_peek_last_error_line_data() and
189 ERR_func_error_string().
190 [Richard Levitte]
191
192 *) Extended testing to be verbose for failing tests only. The make variables
193 VERBOSE_FAILURE or VF can be used to enable this:
194
195 $ make VF=1 test # Unix
196 $ mms /macro=(VF=1) test ! OpenVMS
197 $ nmake VF=1 test # Windows
198
199 [Richard Levitte]
200
201 *) For built-in EC curves, ensure an EC_GROUP built from the curve name is
202 used even when parsing explicit parameters, when loading a serialized key
203 or calling `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()`/
204 `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters()`.
205 This prevents bypass of security hardening and performance gains,
206 especially for curves with specialized EC_METHODs.
207 By default, if a key encoded with explicit parameters is loaded and later
208 serialized, the output is still encoded with explicit parameters, even if
209 internally a "named" EC_GROUP is used for computation.
210 [Nicola Tuveri]
211
212 *) Compute ECC cofactors if not provided during EC_GROUP construction. Before
213 this change, EC_GROUP_set_generator would accept order and/or cofactor as
214 NULL. After this change, only the cofactor parameter can be NULL. It also
215 does some minimal sanity checks on the passed order.
216 (CVE-2019-1547)
217 [Billy Bob Brumley]
218
219 *) Fixed a padding oracle in PKCS7_dataDecode and CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey.
220 An attack is simple, if the first CMS_recipientInfo is valid but the
221 second CMS_recipientInfo is chosen ciphertext. If the second
222 recipientInfo decodes to PKCS #1 v1.5 form plaintext, the correct
223 encryption key will be replaced by garbage, and the message cannot be
224 decoded, but if the RSA decryption fails, the correct encryption key is
225 used and the recipient will not notice the attack.
226 As a work around for this potential attack the length of the decrypted
227 key must be equal to the cipher default key length, in case the
228 certifiate is not given and all recipientInfo are tried out.
229 The old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
230 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag.
231 [Bernd Edlinger]
232
233 *) Early start up entropy quality from the DEVRANDOM seed source has been
234 improved for older Linux systems. The RAND subsystem will wait for
235 /dev/random to be producing output before seeding from /dev/urandom.
236 The seeded state is stored for future library initialisations using
237 a system global shared memory segment. The shared memory identifier
238 can be configured by defining OPENSSL_RAND_SEED_DEVRANDOM_SHM_ID to
239 the desired value. The default identifier is 114.
240 [Paul Dale]
241
242 *) Revised BN_generate_prime_ex to not avoid factors 2..17863 in p-1
243 when primes for RSA keys are computed.
244 Since we previously always generated primes == 2 (mod 3) for RSA keys,
245 the 2-prime and 3-prime RSA modules were easy to distinguish, since
246 N = p*q = 1 (mod 3), but N = p*q*r = 2 (mod 3). Therefore fingerprinting
247 2-prime vs. 3-prime RSA keys was possible by computing N mod 3.
248 This avoids possible fingerprinting of newly generated RSA modules.
249 [Bernd Edlinger]
250
251 *) Correct the extended master secret constant on EBCDIC systems. Without this
252 fix TLS connections between an EBCDIC system and a non-EBCDIC system that
253 negotiate EMS will fail. Unfortunately this also means that TLS connections
254 between EBCDIC systems with this fix, and EBCDIC systems without this
255 fix will fail if they negotiate EMS.
256 [Matt Caswell]
257
258 *) Changed the library initialisation so that the config file is now loaded
259 by default. This was already the case for libssl. It now occurs for both
260 libcrypto and libssl. Use the OPENSSL_INIT_NO_LOAD_CONFIG option to
261 OPENSSL_init_crypto() to suppress automatic loading of a config file.
262 [Matt Caswell]
263
264 *) Introduced new error raising macros, ERR_raise() and ERR_raise_data(),
265 where the former acts as a replacement for ERR_put_error(), and the
266 latter replaces the combination ERR_put_error()+ERR_add_error_data().
267 ERR_raise_data() adds more flexibility by taking a format string and
268 an arbitrary number of arguments following it, to be processed with
269 BIO_snprintf().
270 [Richard Levitte]
271
272 *) Introduced a new function, OSSL_PROVIDER_available(), which can be used
273 to check if a named provider is loaded and available. When called, it
274 will also activate all fallback providers if such are still present.
275 [Richard Levitte]
276
277 *) Enforce a minimum DH modulus size of 512 bits.
278 [Bernd Edlinger]
279
280 *) Changed DH parameters to generate the order q subgroup instead of 2q.
281 Previously generated DH parameters are still accepted by DH_check
282 but DH_generate_key works around that by clearing bit 0 of the
283 private key for those. This avoids leaking bit 0 of the private key.
284 [Bernd Edlinger]
285
286 *) Significantly reduce secure memory usage by the randomness pools.
287 [Paul Dale]
288
289 *) {CRYPTO,OPENSSL}_mem_debug_{push,pop} are now no-ops and have been
290 deprecated.
291 [Rich Salz]
292
293 *) A new type, EVP_KEYEXCH, has been introduced to represent key exchange
294 algorithms. An implementation of a key exchange algorithm can be obtained
295 by using the function EVP_KEYEXCH_fetch(). An EVP_KEYEXCH algorithm can be
296 used in a call to EVP_PKEY_derive_init_ex() which works in a similar way to
297 the older EVP_PKEY_derive_init() function. See the man pages for the new
298 functions for further details.
299 [Matt Caswell]
300
301 *) The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_dh_pad() macro has now been converted to a function.
302 [Matt Caswell]
303
304 *) Removed the function names from error messages and deprecated the
305 xxx_F_xxx define's.
306
307 *) Removed NextStep support and the macro OPENSSL_UNISTD
308 [Rich Salz]
309
310 *) Removed DES_check_key. Also removed OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL,
311 OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF, OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL.
312 Also removed "export var as function" capability; we do not export
313 variables, only functions.
314 [Rich Salz]
315
316 *) RC5_32_set_key has been changed to return an int type, with 0 indicating
317 an error and 1 indicating success. In previous versions of OpenSSL this
318 was a void type. If a key was set longer than the maximum possible this
319 would crash.
320 [Matt Caswell]
321
322 *) Support SM2 signing and verification schemes with X509 certificate.
323 [Paul Yang]
324
325 *) Use SHA256 as the default digest for TS query in the ts app.
326 [Tomas Mraz]
327
328 *) Change PBKDF2 to conform to SP800-132 instead of the older PKCS5 RFC2898.
329 This checks that the salt length is at least 128 bits, the derived key
330 length is at least 112 bits, and that the iteration count is at least 1000.
331 For backwards compatibility these checks are disabled by default in the
332 default provider, but are enabled by default in the fips provider.
333 To enable or disable these checks use the control
334 EVP_KDF_CTRL_SET_PBKDF2_PKCS5_MODE.
335 [Shane Lontis]
336
337 *) Default cipher lists/suites are now available via a function, the
338 #defines are deprecated.
339 [Todd Short]
340
341 *) Add target VC-WIN32-UWP, VC-WIN64A-UWP, VC-WIN32-ARM-UWP and
342 VC-WIN64-ARM-UWP in Windows OneCore target for making building libraries
343 for Windows Store apps easier. Also, the "no-uplink" option has been added.
344 [Kenji Mouri]
345
346 *) Join the directories crypto/x509 and crypto/x509v3
347 [Richard Levitte]
348
349 *) Change the default RSA, DSA and DH size to 2048 bit instead of 1024.
350 This changes the size when using the genpkey app when no size is given. It
351 fixes an omission in earlier changes that changed all RSA, DSA and DH
352 generation apps to use 2048 bits by default.
353 [Kurt Roeckx]
354
355 *) Added command 'openssl kdf' that uses the EVP_KDF API.
356 [Shane Lontis]
357
358 *) Added command 'openssl mac' that uses the EVP_MAC API.
359 [Shane Lontis]
360
361 *) Added OPENSSL_info() to get diverse built-in OpenSSL data, such
362 as default directories. Also added the command 'openssl info'
363 for scripting purposes.
364 [Richard Levitte]
365
366 *) The functions AES_ige_encrypt() and AES_bi_ige_encrypt() have been
367 deprecated. These undocumented functions were never integrated into the EVP
368 layer and implement the AES Infinite Garble Extension (IGE) mode and AES
369 Bi-directional IGE mode. These modes were never formally standardised and
370 usage of these functions is believed to be very small. In particular
371 AES_bi_ige_encrypt() has a known bug. It accepts 2 AES keys, but only one
372 is ever used. The security implications are believed to be minimal, but
373 this issue was never fixed for backwards compatibility reasons. New code
374 should not use these modes.
375 [Matt Caswell]
376
377 *) Add prediction resistance to the DRBG reseeding process.
378 [Paul Dale]
379
380 *) Limit the number of blocks in a data unit for AES-XTS to 2^20 as
381 mandated by IEEE Std 1619-2018.
382 [Paul Dale]
383
384 *) Added newline escaping functionality to a filename when using openssl dgst.
385 This output format is to replicate the output format found in the '*sum'
386 checksum programs. This aims to preserve backward compatibility.
387 [Matt Eaton, Richard Levitte, and Paul Dale]
388
389 *) Removed the heartbeat message in DTLS feature, as it has very
390 little usage and doesn't seem to fulfill a valuable purpose.
391 The configuration option is now deprecated.
392 [Richard Levitte]
393
394 *) Changed the output of 'openssl {digestname} < file' to display the
395 digest name in its output.
396 [Richard Levitte]
397
398 *) Added a new generic trace API which provides support for enabling
399 instrumentation through trace output. This feature is mainly intended
400 as an aid for developers and is disabled by default. To utilize it,
401 OpenSSL needs to be configured with the `enable-trace` option.
402
403 If the tracing API is enabled, the application can activate trace output
404 by registering BIOs as trace channels for a number of tracing and debugging
405 categories.
406
407 The 'openssl' application has been expanded to enable any of the types
408 available via environment variables defined by the user, and serves as
409 one possible example on how to use this functionality.
410 [Richard Levitte & Matthias St. Pierre]
411
412 *) Added build tests for C++. These are generated files that only do one
413 thing, to include one public OpenSSL head file each. This tests that
414 the public header files can be usefully included in a C++ application.
415
416 This test isn't enabled by default. It can be enabled with the option
417 'enable-buildtest-c++'.
418 [Richard Levitte]
419
420 *) Add Single Step KDF (EVP_KDF_SS) to EVP_KDF.
421 [Shane Lontis]
422
423 *) Add KMAC to EVP_MAC.
424 [Shane Lontis]
425
426 *) Added property based algorithm implementation selection framework to
427 the core.
428 [Paul Dale]
429
430 *) Added SCA hardening for modular field inversion in EC_GROUP through
431 a new dedicated field_inv() pointer in EC_METHOD.
432 This also addresses a leakage affecting conversions from projective
433 to affine coordinates.
434 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
435
436 *) Added EVP_KDF, an EVP layer KDF API, to simplify adding KDF and PRF
437 implementations. This includes an EVP_PKEY to EVP_KDF bridge for
438 those algorithms that were already supported through the EVP_PKEY API
439 (scrypt, TLS1 PRF and HKDF). The low-level KDF functions for PBKDF2
440 and scrypt are now wrappers that call EVP_KDF.
441 [David Makepeace]
442
443 *) Build devcrypto engine as a dynamic engine.
444 [Eneas U de Queiroz]
445
446 *) Add keyed BLAKE2 to EVP_MAC.
447 [Antoine Salon]
448
449 *) Fix a bug in the computation of the endpoint-pair shared secret used
450 by DTLS over SCTP. This breaks interoperability with older versions
451 of OpenSSL like OpenSSL 1.1.0 and OpenSSL 1.0.2. There is a runtime
452 switch SSL_MODE_DTLS_SCTP_LABEL_LENGTH_BUG (off by default) enabling
453 interoperability with such broken implementations. However, enabling
454 this switch breaks interoperability with correct implementations.
455
456 *) Fix a use after free bug in d2i_X509_PUBKEY when overwriting a
457 re-used X509_PUBKEY object if the second PUBKEY is malformed.
458 [Bernd Edlinger]
459
460 *) Move strictness check from EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() to EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0().
461 [Richard Levitte]
462
463 *) Change the license to the Apache License v2.0.
464 [Richard Levitte]
465
466 *) Switch to a new version scheme using three numbers MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.
467
468 o Major releases (indicated by incrementing the MAJOR release number)
469 may introduce incompatible API/ABI changes.
470 o Minor releases (indicated by incrementing the MINOR release number)
471 may introduce new features but retain API/ABI compatibility.
472 o Patch releases (indicated by incrementing the PATCH number)
473 are intended for bug fixes and other improvements of existing
474 features only (like improving performance or adding documentation)
475 and retain API/ABI compatibility.
476 [Richard Levitte]
477
478 *) Add support for RFC5297 SIV mode (siv128), including AES-SIV.
479 [Todd Short]
480
481 *) Remove the 'dist' target and add a tarball building script. The
482 'dist' target has fallen out of use, and it shouldn't be
483 necessary to configure just to create a source distribution.
484 [Richard Levitte]
485
486 *) Recreate the OS390-Unix config target. It no longer relies on a
487 special script like it did for OpenSSL pre-1.1.0.
488 [Richard Levitte]
489
490 *) Instead of having the source directories listed in Configure, add
491 a 'build.info' keyword SUBDIRS to indicate what sub-directories to
492 look into.
493 [Richard Levitte]
494
495 *) Add GMAC to EVP_MAC.
496 [Paul Dale]
497
498 *) Ported the HMAC, CMAC and SipHash EVP_PKEY_METHODs to EVP_MAC.
499 [Richard Levitte]
500
501 *) Added EVP_MAC, an EVP layer MAC API, to simplify adding MAC
502 implementations. This includes a generic EVP_PKEY to EVP_MAC bridge,
503 to facilitate the continued use of MACs through raw private keys in
504 functionality such as EVP_DigestSign* and EVP_DigestVerify*.
505 [Richard Levitte]
506
507 *) Deprecate ECDH_KDF_X9_62() and mark its replacement as internal. Users
508 should use the EVP interface instead (EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_ecdh_kdf_type).
509 [Antoine Salon]
510
511 *) Added EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_63 and ecdh_KDF_X9_63() as replacements for
512 the EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_62 KDF type and ECDH_KDF_X9_62(). The old names
513 are retained for backwards compatibility.
514 [Antoine Salon]
515
516 *) AES-XTS mode now enforces that its two keys are different to mitigate
517 the attacked described in "Efficient Instantiations of Tweakable
518 Blockciphers and Refinements to Modes OCB and PMAC" by Phillip Rogaway.

521 [Paul Dale]
522
523 *) Rename the object files, i.e. give them other names than in previous
524 versions. Their names now include the name of the final product, as
525 well as its type mnemonic (bin, lib, shlib).
526 [Richard Levitte]
527
528 *) Added new option for 'openssl list', '-objects', which will display the
529 list of built in objects, i.e. OIDs with names.
530 [Richard Levitte]
531
532 *) Added support for Linux Kernel TLS data-path. The Linux Kernel data-path
533 improves application performance by removing data copies and providing
534 applications with zero-copy system calls such as sendfile and splice.
535 [Boris Pismenny]
536
537 Changes between 1.1.1a and 1.1.1b [xx XXX xxxx]
538
539 *) Change the info callback signals for the start and end of a post-handshake
540 message exchange in TLSv1.3. In 1.1.1/1.1.1a we used SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_START
541 and SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_DONE. Experience has shown that many applications get
542 confused by this and assume that a TLSv1.2 renegotiation has started. This
543 can break KeyUpdate handling. Instead we no longer signal the start and end
544 of a post handshake message exchange (although the messages themselves are
545 still signalled). This could break some applications that were expecting
546 the old signals. However without this KeyUpdate is not usable for many
547 applications.
548 [Matt Caswell]
549
550 Changes between 1.1.1 and 1.1.1a [20 Nov 2018]
551
552 *) Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation
553
554 The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
555 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
556 algorithm to recover the private key.
557
558 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
559 (CVE-2018-0734)
560 [Paul Dale]
561
562 *) Timing vulnerability in ECDSA signature generation
563
564 The OpenSSL ECDSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
565 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
566 algorithm to recover the private key.
567
568 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 25th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
569 (CVE-2018-0735)
570 [Paul Dale]
571
572 *) Fixed the issue that RAND_add()/RAND_seed() silently discards random input
573 if its length exceeds 4096 bytes. The limit has been raised to a buffer size
574 of two gigabytes and the error handling improved.
575
576 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Dr. Falko Strenzke. It has been
577 categorized as a normal bug, not a security issue, because the DRBG reseeds
578 automatically and is fully functional even without additional randomness
579 provided by the application.
580
581 Changes between 1.1.0i and 1.1.1 [11 Sep 2018]
582
583 *) Add a new ClientHello callback. Provides a callback interface that gives
584 the application the ability to adjust the nascent SSL object at the
585 earliest stage of ClientHello processing, immediately after extensions have
586 been collected but before they have been processed. In particular, this
587 callback can adjust the supported TLS versions in response to the contents
588 of the ClientHello
589 [Benjamin Kaduk]
590
591 *) Add SM2 base algorithm support.
592 [Jack Lloyd]
593
594 *) s390x assembly pack: add (improved) hardware-support for the following
595 cryptographic primitives: sha3, shake, aes-gcm, aes-ccm, aes-ctr, aes-ofb,
596 aes-cfb/cfb8, aes-ecb.
597 [Patrick Steuer]
598
599 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
600 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
601 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
602 [Richard Levitte]
603
604 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
605 step for prime curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
606 differential addition-and-doubling in homogeneous projective coordinates
607 from Izu-Takagi "A fast parallel elliptic curve multiplication resistant
608 against side channel attacks" and Brier-Joye "Weierstrass Elliptic Curves
609 and Side-Channel Attacks" Eq. (8) for y-coordinate recovery, modified
610 to work in projective coordinates.
611 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
612
613 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
614 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
615 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
616 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
617 to 2^-128.
618 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
619
620 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
621 [Kurt Roeckx]
622
623 *) The 'tsget' script is renamed to 'tsget.pl', to avoid confusion when
624 moving between systems, and to avoid confusion when a Windows build is
625 done with mingw vs with MSVC. For POSIX installs, there's still a
626 symlink or copy named 'tsget' to avoid that confusion as well.
627 [Richard Levitte]
628
629 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
630 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
631 [Andy Polyakov]
632
633 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
634 step for binary curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
635 differential addition-and-doubling in mixed Lopez-Dahab projective
636 coordinates, modified to independently blind the operands.
637 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
638
639 *) Add a scaffold to optionally enhance the Montgomery ladder implementation
640 for `ec_scalar_mul_ladder` (formerly `ec_mul_consttime`) allowing
641 EC_METHODs to implement their own specialized "ladder step", to take
642 advantage of more favorable coordinate systems or more efficient
643 differential addition-and-doubling algorithms.
644 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
645
646 *) Modified the random device based seed sources to keep the relevant
647 file descriptors open rather than reopening them on each access.
648 This allows such sources to operate in a chroot() jail without
649 the associated device nodes being available. This behaviour can be
650 controlled using RAND_keep_random_devices_open().
651 [Paul Dale]
652
653 *) Numerous side-channel attack mitigations have been applied. This may have
654 performance impacts for some algorithms for the benefit of improved
655 security. Specific changes are noted in this change log by their respective
656 authors.
657 [Matt Caswell]
658
659 *) AIX shared library support overhaul. Switch to AIX "natural" way of
660 handling shared libraries, which means collecting shared objects of
661 different versions and bitnesses in one common archive. This allows to
662 mitigate conflict between 1.0 and 1.1 side-by-side installations. It
663 doesn't affect the way 3rd party applications are linked, only how
664 multi-version installation is managed.
665 [Andy Polyakov]
666
667 *) Make ec_group_do_inverse_ord() more robust and available to other
668 EC cryptosystems, so that irrespective of BN_FLG_CONSTTIME, SCA
669 mitigations are applied to the fallback BN_mod_inverse().
670 When using this function rather than BN_mod_inverse() directly, new
671 EC cryptosystem implementations are then safer-by-default.
672 [Billy Bob Brumley]
673
674 *) Add coordinate blinding for EC_POINT and implement projective
675 coordinate blinding for generic prime curves as a countermeasure to
676 chosen point SCA attacks.
677 [Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri, Billy Bob Brumley]
678
679 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
680 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
681 [Matt Caswell]
682
683 *) Enforce checking in the pkeyutl command line app to ensure that the input
684 length does not exceed the maximum supported digest length when performing
685 a sign, verify or verifyrecover operation.
686 [Matt Caswell]
687
688 *) SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY is enabled by default. Applications that use blocking
689 I/O in combination with something like select() or poll() will hang. This
690 can be turned off again using SSL_CTX_clear_mode().
691 Many applications do not properly handle non-application data records, and
692 TLS 1.3 sends more of such records. Setting SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY works
693 around the problems in those applications, but can also break some.
694 It's recommended to read the manpages about SSL_read(), SSL_write(),
695 SSL_get_error(), SSL_shutdown(), SSL_CTX_set_mode() and
696 SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead() again.
697 [Kurt Roeckx]
698
699 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
700 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
701 [Richard Levitte]
702
703 *) Apply blinding to binary field modular inversion and remove patent
704 pending (OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV) BN_GF2m_mod_div implementation.
705 [Billy Bob Brumley]
706
707 *) Deprecate ec2_mult.c and unify scalar multiplication code paths for
708 binary and prime elliptic curves.
709 [Billy Bob Brumley]
710
711 *) Remove ECDSA nonce padding: EC_POINT_mul is now responsible for
712 constant time fixed point multiplication.
713 [Billy Bob Brumley]
714
715 *) Revise elliptic curve scalar multiplication with timing attack
716 defenses: ec_wNAF_mul redirects to a constant time implementation
717 when computing fixed point and variable point multiplication (which
718 in OpenSSL are mostly used with secret scalars in keygen, sign,
719 ECDH derive operations).
720 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri, Cesar Pereida García,
721 Sohaib ul Hassan]
722
723 *) Updated CONTRIBUTING
724 [Rich Salz]
725
726 *) Updated DRBG / RAND to request nonce and additional low entropy
727 randomness from the system.
728 [Matthias St. Pierre]
729
730 *) Updated 'openssl rehash' to use OpenSSL consistent default.
731 [Richard Levitte]
732
733 *) Moved the load of the ssl_conf module to libcrypto, which helps
734 loading engines that libssl uses before libssl is initialised.
735 [Matt Caswell]
736
737 *) Added EVP_PKEY_sign() and EVP_PKEY_verify() for EdDSA
738 [Matt Caswell]
739
740 *) Fixed X509_NAME_ENTRY_set to get multi-valued RDNs right in all cases.
741 [Ingo Schwarze, Rich Salz]
742
743 *) Added output of accepting IP address and port for 'openssl s_server'
744 [Richard Levitte]
745
746 *) Added a new API for TLSv1.3 ciphersuites:
747 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites()
748 SSL_set_ciphersuites()
749 [Matt Caswell]
750
751 *) Memory allocation failures consistently add an error to the error
752 stack.
753 [Rich Salz]
754
755 *) Don't use OPENSSL_ENGINES and OPENSSL_CONF environment values
756 in libcrypto when run as setuid/setgid.
757 [Bernd Edlinger]
758
759 *) Load any config file by default when libssl is used.
760 [Matt Caswell]
761
762 *) Added new public header file <openssl/rand_drbg.h> and documentation
763 for the RAND_DRBG API. See manual page RAND_DRBG(7) for an overview.
764 [Matthias St. Pierre]
765
766 *) QNX support removed (cannot find contributors to get their approval
767 for the license change).
768 [Rich Salz]
769
770 *) TLSv1.3 replay protection for early data has been implemented. See the
771 SSL_read_early_data() man page for further details.
772 [Matt Caswell]
773
774 *) Separated TLSv1.3 ciphersuite configuration out from TLSv1.2 ciphersuite
775 configuration. TLSv1.3 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.2 and
776 below. Similarly TLSv1.2 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.3.
777 In order to avoid issues where legacy TLSv1.2 ciphersuite configuration
778 would otherwise inadvertently disable all TLSv1.3 ciphersuites the
779 configuration has been separated out. See the ciphers man page or the
780 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites() man page for more information.
781 [Matt Caswell]
782
783 *) On POSIX (BSD, Linux, ...) systems the ocsp(1) command running
784 in responder mode now supports the new "-multi" option, which
785 spawns the specified number of child processes to handle OCSP
786 requests. The "-timeout" option now also limits the OCSP
787 responder's patience to wait to receive the full client request
788 on a newly accepted connection. Child processes are respawned
789 as needed, and the CA index file is automatically reloaded
790 when changed. This makes it possible to run the "ocsp" responder
791 as a long-running service, making the OpenSSL CA somewhat more
792 feature-complete. In this mode, most diagnostic messages logged
793 after entering the event loop are logged via syslog(3) rather than
794 written to stderr.
795 [Viktor Dukhovni]
796
797 *) Added support for X448 and Ed448. Heavily based on original work by
798 Mike Hamburg.
799 [Matt Caswell]
800
801 *) Extend OSSL_STORE with capabilities to search and to narrow the set of
802 objects loaded. This adds the functions OSSL_STORE_expect() and
803 OSSL_STORE_find() as well as needed tools to construct searches and
804 get the search data out of them.
805 [Richard Levitte]
806
807 *) Support for TLSv1.3 added. Note that users upgrading from an earlier
808 version of OpenSSL should review their configuration settings to ensure
809 that they are still appropriate for TLSv1.3. For further information see:
810 https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/TLS1.3
811 [Matt Caswell]
812
813 *) Grand redesign of the OpenSSL random generator
814
815 The default RAND method now utilizes an AES-CTR DRBG according to
816 NIST standard SP 800-90Ar1. The new random generator is essentially
817 a port of the default random generator from the OpenSSL FIPS 2.0
818 object module. It is a hybrid deterministic random bit generator
819 using an AES-CTR bit stream and which seeds and reseeds itself
820 automatically using trusted system entropy sources.
821
822 Some of its new features are:
823 o Support for multiple DRBG instances with seed chaining.
824 o The default RAND method makes use of a DRBG.
825 o There is a public and private DRBG instance.
826 o The DRBG instances are fork-safe.
827 o Keep all global DRBG instances on the secure heap if it is enabled.
828 o The public and private DRBG instance are per thread for lock free
829 operation
830 [Paul Dale, Benjamin Kaduk, Kurt Roeckx, Rich Salz, Matthias St. Pierre]
831
832 *) Changed Configure so it only says what it does and doesn't dump
833 so much data. Instead, ./configdata.pm should be used as a script
834 to display all sorts of configuration data.
835 [Richard Levitte]
836
837 *) Added processing of "make variables" to Configure.
838 [Richard Levitte]
839
840 *) Added SHA512/224 and SHA512/256 algorithm support.
841 [Paul Dale]
842
843 *) The last traces of Netware support, first removed in 1.1.0, have
844 now been removed.
845 [Rich Salz]
846
847 *) Get rid of Makefile.shared, and in the process, make the processing
848 of certain files (rc.obj, or the .def/.map/.opt files produced from
849 the ordinal files) more visible and hopefully easier to trace and
850 debug (or make silent).
851 [Richard Levitte]
852
853 *) Make it possible to have environment variable assignments as
854 arguments to config / Configure.
855 [Richard Levitte]
856
857 *) Add multi-prime RSA (RFC 8017) support.
858 [Paul Yang]
859
860 *) Add SM3 implemented according to GB/T 32905-2016
861 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
862 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
863 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
864
865 *) Add 'Maximum Fragment Length' TLS extension negotiation and support
866 as documented in RFC6066.
867 Based on a patch from Tomasz Moń
868 [Filipe Raimundo da Silva]
869
870 *) Add SM4 implemented according to GB/T 32907-2016.
871 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
872 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
873 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
874
875 *) Reimplement -newreq-nodes and ERR_error_string_n; the
876 original author does not agree with the license change.
877 [Rich Salz]
878
879 *) Add ARIA AEAD TLS support.
880 [Jon Spillett]
881
882 *) Some macro definitions to support VS6 have been removed. Visual
883 Studio 6 has not worked since 1.1.0
884 [Rich Salz]
885
886 *) Add ERR_clear_last_mark(), to allow callers to clear the last mark
887 without clearing the errors.
888 [Richard Levitte]
889
890 *) Add "atfork" functions. If building on a system that without
891 pthreads, see doc/man3/OPENSSL_fork_prepare.pod for application
892 requirements. The RAND facility now uses/requires this.
893 [Rich Salz]
894
895 *) Add SHA3.
896 [Andy Polyakov]
897
898 *) The UI API becomes a permanent and integral part of libcrypto, i.e.
899 not possible to disable entirely. However, it's still possible to
900 disable the console reading UI method, UI_OpenSSL() (use UI_null()
901 as a fallback).
902
903 To disable, configure with 'no-ui-console'. 'no-ui' is still
904 possible to use as an alias. Check at compile time with the
905 macro OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE. The macro OPENSSL_NO_UI is still
906 possible to check and is an alias for OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE.
907 [Richard Levitte]
908
909 *) Add a STORE module, which implements a uniform and URI based reader of
910 stores that can contain keys, certificates, CRLs and numerous other
911 objects. The main API is loosely based on a few stdio functions,
912 and includes OSSL_STORE_open, OSSL_STORE_load, OSSL_STORE_eof,
913 OSSL_STORE_error and OSSL_STORE_close.
914 The implementation uses backends called "loaders" to implement arbitrary
915 URI schemes. There is one built in "loader" for the 'file' scheme.
916 [Richard Levitte]
917
918 *) Add devcrypto engine. This has been implemented against cryptodev-linux,
919 then adjusted to work on FreeBSD 8.4 as well.
920 Enable by configuring with 'enable-devcryptoeng'. This is done by default
921 on BSD implementations, as cryptodev.h is assumed to exist on all of them.
922 [Richard Levitte]
923
924 *) Module names can prefixed with OSSL_ or OPENSSL_. This affects
925 util/mkerr.pl, which is adapted to allow those prefixes, leading to
926 error code calls like this:
927
928 OSSL_FOOerr(OSSL_FOO_F_SOMETHING, OSSL_FOO_R_WHATEVER);
929
930 With this change, we claim the namespaces OSSL and OPENSSL in a manner
931 that can be encoded in C. For the foreseeable future, this will only
932 affect new modules.
933 [Richard Levitte and Tim Hudson]
934
935 *) Removed BSD cryptodev engine.
936 [Rich Salz]
937
938 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
939 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
940 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
941 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
942 [Richard Levitte]
943
944 *) In the UI interface, make it possible to duplicate the user data. This
945 can be used by engines that need to retain the data for a longer time
946 than just the call where this user data is passed.
947 [Richard Levitte]
948
949 *) Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of applications
950 with OpenSSL 1.0.2.
951 [Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org>]
952
953 *) Fragmented SSL/TLS alerts are no longer accepted. An alert message is 2
954 bytes long. In theory it is permissible in SSLv3 - TLSv1.2 to fragment such
955 alerts across multiple records (some of which could be empty). In practice
956 it make no sense to send an empty alert record, or to fragment one. TLSv1.3
957 prohibts this altogether and other libraries (BoringSSL, NSS) do not
958 support this at all. Supporting it adds significant complexity to the
959 record layer, and its removal is unlikely to cause inter-operability
960 issues.
961 [Matt Caswell]
962
963 *) Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
964 with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
965 The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
966 in OpenSSL 1.2.0.
967 [Richard Levitte]
968
969 *) Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
970 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
971 [Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov]
972
973 *) Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
974 does for RSA, etc.
975 [Richard Levitte]
976
977 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
978 platform rather than 'mingw'.
979 [Richard Levitte]
980
981 *) The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
982 success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
983 in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
984 certificates and CRLs.
985 [Paul Dale]
986
987 *) x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
988 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
989 [Andy Polyakov]
990
991 *) Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
992 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
993 [Richard Levitte]
994
995 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
996 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
997 which is the minimum version we support.
998 [Richard Levitte]
999
1000 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
1001 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
1002 are no longer allowed.
1003 [Emilia Käsper]
1004
1005 *) Add support for ARIA
1006 [Paul Dale]
1007
1008 *) s_client will now send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension by
1009 default unless the new "-noservername" option is used. The server name is
1010 based on the host provided to the "-connect" option unless overridden by
1011 using "-servername".
1012 [Matt Caswell]
1013
1014 *) Add support for SipHash
1015 [Todd Short]
1016
1017 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
1018 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
1019 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
1020 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
1021 [Matt Caswell]
1022
1023 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
1024 using the algorithm defined in
1025 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
1026 [Richard Levitte]
1027
1028 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
1029 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
1030
1031 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
1032 [Emilia Käsper]
1033
1034 *) The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid patent
1035 issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.

1039 Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.0i [xx XXX xxxx]
1040
1041 *) Client DoS due to large DH parameter
1042
1043 During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DH(E) based ciphersuite a
1044 malicious server can send a very large prime value to the client. This will
1045 cause the client to spend an unreasonably long period of time generating a
1046 key for this prime resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This
1047 could be exploited in a Denial Of Service attack.

1049 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 5th June 2018 by Guido Vranken
1050 (CVE-2018-0732)
1051 [Guido Vranken]
1052
1053 *) Cache timing vulnerability in RSA Key Generation
1054
1055 The OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to
1056 a cache timing side channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to
1057 mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could
1058 recover the private key.
1059
1060 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th April 2018 by Alejandro Cabrera
1061 Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Cesar Pereida Garcia and Luis Manuel Alvarez Tapia.
1062 (CVE-2018-0737)
1063 [Billy Brumley]
1064
1065 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
1066 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
1067 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
1068 [Richard Levitte]
1069
1070 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
1071 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
1072 [Andy Polyakov]
1073
1074 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
1075 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
1076 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
1077 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
1078 to 2^-128.
1079 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
1080
1081 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
1082 [Kurt Roeckx]
1083
1084 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
1085 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
1086 [Matt Caswell]
1087
1088 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
1089 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
1090 [Richard Levitte]
1091
1092 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
1093 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
1094 are no longer allowed.
1095 [Emilia Käsper]
1096
1097 *) Fixed a text canonicalisation bug in CMS
1098
1099 Where a CMS detached signature is used with text content the text goes
1100 through a canonicalisation process first prior to signing or verifying a
1101 signature. This process strips trailing space at the end of lines, converts
1102 line terminators to CRLF and removes additional trailing line terminators
1103 at the end of a file. A bug in the canonicalisation process meant that
1104 some characters, such as form-feed, were incorrectly treated as whitespace
1105 and removed. This is contrary to the specification (RFC5485). This fix
1106 could mean that detached text data signed with an earlier version of
1107 OpenSSL 1.1.0 may fail to verify using the fixed version, or text data
1108 signed with a fixed OpenSSL may fail to verify with an earlier version of
1109 OpenSSL 1.1.0. A workaround is to only verify the canonicalised text data
1110 and use the "-binary" flag (for the "cms" command line application) or set
1111 the SMIME_BINARY/PKCS7_BINARY/CMS_BINARY flags (if using CMS_verify()).
1112 [Matt Caswell]
1113
1114 Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.0h [27 Mar 2018]
1115
1116 *) Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
1117
1118 Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
1119 in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
1120 excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
1121 are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
1122 so this is considered safe.
1123
1124 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
1125 project.
1126 (CVE-2018-0739)
1127 [Matt Caswell]
1128
1129 *) Incorrect CRYPTO_memcmp on HP-UX PA-RISC
1130
1131 Because of an implementation bug the PA-RISC CRYPTO_memcmp function is
1132 effectively reduced to only comparing the least significant bit of each
1133 byte. This allows an attacker to forge messages that would be considered as
1134 authenticated in an amount of tries lower than that guaranteed by the
1135 security claims of the scheme. The module can only be compiled by the
1136 HP-UX assembler, so that only HP-UX PA-RISC targets are affected.
1137
1138 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 2nd March 2018 by Peter Waltenberg
1139 (IBM).
1140 (CVE-2018-0733)
1141 [Andy Polyakov]
1142
1143 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
1144 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
1145 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
1146 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
1147 [Richard Levitte]
1148
1149 *) Backport SSL_OP_NO_RENGOTIATION
1150
1151 OpenSSL 1.0.2 and below had the ability to disable renegotiation using the
1152 (undocumented) SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS flag. Due to the opacity
1153 changes this is no longer possible in 1.1.0. Therefore the new
1154 SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION option from 1.1.1-dev has been backported to
1155 1.1.0 to provide equivalent functionality.
1156
1157 Note that if an application built against 1.1.0h headers (or above) is run
1158 using an older version of 1.1.0 (prior to 1.1.0h) then the option will be
1159 accepted but nothing will happen, i.e. renegotiation will not be prevented.
1160 [Matt Caswell]
1161
1162 *) Removed the OS390-Unix config target. It relied on a script that doesn't
1163 exist.
1164 [Rich Salz]
1165
1166 *) rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
1167
1168 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
1169 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
1170 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
1171 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
1172 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
1173 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
1174 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
1175 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
1176 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
1177 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
1178
1179 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
1180 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
1181
1182 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
1183 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
1184 (CVE-2017-3738)
1185 [Andy Polyakov]
1186
1187 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
1188
1189 *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
1190
1191 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1192 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1193 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1194 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1195 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1196 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1197 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1198 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1199 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1200 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1201 key that is shared between multiple clients.
1202
1203 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
1204 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
1205
1206 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
1207 (CVE-2017-3736)
1208 [Andy Polyakov]
1209
1210 *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
1211
1212 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
1213 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
1214 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
1215
1216 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
1217 (CVE-2017-3735)
1218 [Rich Salz]
1219
1220 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
1221
1222 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
1223 platform rather than 'mingw'.
1224 [Richard Levitte]
1225
1226 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
1227 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
1228 which is the minimum version we support.
1229 [Richard Levitte]
1230
1231 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
1232
1233 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
1234
1235 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
1236 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
1237 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
1238 and servers are affected.
1239
1240 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
1241 (CVE-2017-3733)
1242 [Matt Caswell]
1243
1244 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
1245
1246 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
1247
1248 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
1249 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
1250 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
1251
1252 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
1253 (CVE-2017-3731)
1254 [Andy Polyakov]
1255
1256 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
1257
1258 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
1259 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
1260 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
1261 of Service attack.
1262
1263 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
1264 (CVE-2017-3730)
1265 [Matt Caswell]
1266
1267 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1268
1269 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1270 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1271 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1272 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1273 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1274 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1275 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1276 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1277 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1278 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1279 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1280 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
1281 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
1282
1283 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
1284 (CVE-2017-3732)
1285 [Andy Polyakov]
1286
1287 Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
1288
1289 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
1290
1291 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
1292 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
1293 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
1294
1295 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
1296 (CVE-2016-7054)
1297 [Richard Levitte]
1298
1299 *) CMS Null dereference
1300
1301 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
1302 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
1303 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
1304 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
1305 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
1306 affected.
1307
1308 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
1309 (CVE-2016-7053)
1310 [Stephen Henson]
1311
1312 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
1313
1314 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
1315 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
1316 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
1317 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
1318 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
1319 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
1320 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
1321 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
1322 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
1323 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
1324 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
1325 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
1326 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
1327 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
1328
1329 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
1330 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
1331 providing reproducible case.
1332 (CVE-2016-7055)
1333 [Andy Polyakov]
1334
1335 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
1336 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
1337 [Richard Levitte]
1338
1339 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
1340
1341 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
1342
1343 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
1344 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
1345 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
1346 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
1347 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
1348 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
1349
1350 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
1351
1352 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
1353 (CVE-2016-6309)
1354 [Matt Caswell]
1355
1356 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
1357
1358 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
1359
1360 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
1361 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
1362 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
1363 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
1364 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
1365 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
1366 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
1367
1368 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
1369 (CVE-2016-6304)
1370 [Matt Caswell]
1371
1372 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
1373
1374 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
1375 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
1376 Denial Of Service attack.
1377
1378 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
1379 (CVE-2016-6305)
1380 [Matt Caswell]
1381
1382 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
1383 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
1384
1385 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
1386 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
1387 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
1388 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
1389 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
1390 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
1391 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
1392 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
1393 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
1394 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
1395 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
1396 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
1397 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
1398 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
1399 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
1400
1401 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
1402 that the connection fails
1403 or
1404 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
1405 very little free memory
1406 or
1407 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
1408 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
1409 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
1410 memory to service the multiple requests.
1411
1412 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
1413 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
1414 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
1415 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
1416 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.
1417
1418 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
1419 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
1420 [Matt Caswell]
1421
1422 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
1423 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
1424 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
1425 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
1426 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
1427 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
1428 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
1429 [Andy Polyakov]
1430
1431 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
1432
1433 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
1434 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
1435 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
1436 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
1437 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
1438 non-ASCII password.
1439 [Andy Polyakov]
1440
1441 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
1442 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
1443 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
1444 [Rich Salz]
1445
1446 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
1447 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
1448 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
1449 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
1450 [Matt Caswell]
1451
1452 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
1453 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
1454 success.
1455 [Matt Caswell]
1456
1457 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
1458 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
1459 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
1460 no-ops and deprecated.
1461 [Matt Caswell]
1462
1463 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
1464 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
1465 were also closed.
1466 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
1467
1468 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
1469 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
1470 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
1471 [Rich Salz]
1472
1473 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
1474 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
1475 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
1476 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
1477 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
1478 and the validity of object reference counter.
1479 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
1480
1481 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
1482 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
1483 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
1484 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
1485 [Richard Levitte]
1486
1487 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
1488 [Richard Levitte]
1489
1490 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
1491 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
1492 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
1493 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
1494
1495 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
1496
1497 [Richard Levitte]
1498
1499 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
1500 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
1501 [Steve Henson]
1502
1503 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
1504 [Andy Polyakov]
1505
1506 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
1507 [Rich Salz]
1508
1509 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
1510 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
1511 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
1512 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
1513 name and is used as is.
1514 [Richard Levitte]
1515
1516 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
1517 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
1518 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
1519 [Rich Salz]
1520
1521 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
1522 the "no-shared" Configure option.
1523 [Matt Caswell]
1524
1525 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
1526 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
1527 algorithms.
1528 [Matt Caswell]
1529
1530 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
1531 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
1532 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
1533 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
1534 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
1535 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
1536 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
1537 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
1538 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
1539 [Matt Caswell]
1540
1541 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
1542 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
1543 enabled with '--debug' builds.
1544 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
1545
1546 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
1547 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1548 these have been added.
1549 [Matt Caswell]
1550
1551 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
1552 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
1553 functions for managing these have been added.
1554 [Richard Levitte]
1555
1556 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
1557 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1558 these have been added.
1559 [Matt Caswell]
1560
1561 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
1562 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
1563 have been added.
1564 [Matt Caswell]
1565
1566 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
1567 [Matt Caswell]
1568
1569 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
1570 [Richard Levitte]
1571
1572 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
1573 it is always safe to #include a header now.
1574 [Rich Salz]
1575
1576 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
1577 [Richard Levitte]
1578
1579 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
1580 [Rich Salz]
1581
1582 *) Add support for HKDF.
1583 [Alessandro Ghedini]
1584
1585 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
1586 [Bill Cox]
1587
1588 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
1589 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
1590 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
1591 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
1592 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
1593 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
1594 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
1595 [Matt Caswell]
1596
1597 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
1598 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
1599 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
1600 [Catriona Lucey]
1601
1602 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
1603 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
1604 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
1605 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
1606 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
1607 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
1608 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
1609
1610 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1611 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1612 [Todd Short]
1613
1614 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
1615 [Todd Short]
1616
1617 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
1618 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
1619 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
1620 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
1621 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
1622 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
1623 default cipherlist.
1624 [Emilia Käsper]
1625
1626 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
1627 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
1628 [Rich Salz]
1629
1630 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
1631 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
1632 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
1633 [Matt Caswell]
1634
1635 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
1636 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
1637 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
1638 implemented by other servers.
1639 [Emilia Käsper]
1640
1641 *) Add X25519 support.
1642 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
1643 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
1644 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
1645 key generation and key derivation.
1646
1647 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
1648 X25519(29).
1649 [Steve Henson]
1650
1651 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
1652 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1653 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
1654 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
1655 seed, even if the seed is configured.
1656
1657 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1658 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1659 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1660 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1661 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1662 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1663 that of a valid user.
1664 [Emilia Käsper]
1665
1666 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
1667 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
1668 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
1669 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
1670
1671 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
1672 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
1673
1674 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
1675 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
1676 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
1677 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
1678
1679 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
1680 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
1681 irrelevant.
1682 [Richard Levitte]
1683
1684 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
1685 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
1686 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
1687 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
1688 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
1689 of how OpenSSL was configured.
1690
1691 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
1692 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
1693 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
1694 [Richard Levitte]
1695
1696 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
1697 [Rich Salz]
1698
1699 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
1700 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
1701 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
1702 removed.
1703 [Richard Levitte]
1704
1705 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
1706 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
1707 old #define's might need to be updated.
1708 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
1709
1710 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
1711 [Rich Salz]
1712
1713 *) New "unified" build system
1714
1715 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
1716 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
1717
1718 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
1719 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
1720 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
1721
1722 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
1723 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
1724 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
1725 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
1726 descrip.mms.tmpl.
1727
1728 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
1729 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
1730 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
1731 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
1732 libraries" in INSTALL.
1733
1734 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
1735 [Richard Levitte]
1736
1737 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
1738 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
1739 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
1740 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
1741 [Matt Caswell]
1742
1743 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
1744 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
1745
1746 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
1747 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
1748 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
1749 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
1750 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
1751 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
1752 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
1753 have been adapted accordingly.
1754 [Richard Levitte]
1755
1756 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
1757 the leading 0-byte.
1758 [Emilia Käsper]
1759
1760 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
1761 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
1762 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
1763 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
1764 [Emilia Käsper]
1765
1766 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
1767 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
1768 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
1769 'unsigned char*'.
1770 [Emilia Käsper]
1771
1772 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
1773 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
1774 [Emilia Käsper]
1775
1776 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
1777 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
1778 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
1779 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
1780 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
1781 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
1782 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
1783
1784 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
1785 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
1786
1787 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
1788 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
1789 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
1790 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
1791 Text::Template.
1792
1793 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
1794 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
1795 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
1796 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
1797 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
1798 %target).
1799 [Richard Levitte]
1800
1801 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
1802 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
1803 straightforward and less interdependent.
1804
1805 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
1806 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
1807 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
1808
1809 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
1810 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
1811 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
1812 installed.
1813 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
1814 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
1815 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
1816 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
1817
1818 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
1819 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
1820 [Richard Levitte]
1821
1822 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
1823 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
1824 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
1825 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
1826 is present).
1827 [Matt Caswell]
1828
1829 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
1830 configuring.
1831 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
1832
1833 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
1834 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
1835 before trying to build now.*
1836 [Rich Salz]
1837
1838 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
1839 has changed.
1840 [Rich Salz]
1841
1842 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
1843
1844 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
1845 the application's responsibility. The application provides
1846 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
1847 used to authenticate the peer.
1848
1849 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
1850 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
1851 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
1852 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
1853 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
1854 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1855
1856 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
1857 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
1858 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
1859 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
1860 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
1861 or the 1.1.0 releases.
1862
1863 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
1864 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
1865 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
1866 support for the deprecated features from the library and
1867 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
1868 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
1869 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
1870 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
1871 version.
1872
1873 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
1874 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
1875 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
1876 compile with later releases.
1877
1878 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
1879 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
1880 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
1881 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
1882 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
1883 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1884
1885 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
1886 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
1887 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
1888 MaxProtocol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
1889 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
1890 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
1891 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
1892 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
1893 [Kurt Roeckx]
1894
1895 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
1896 [Andy Polyakov]
1897
1898 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
1899 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
1900 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
1901 ECDSA_SIG format.
1902
1903 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
1904 include the ec.h header file instead.
1905 [Steve Henson]
1906
1907 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
1908 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
1909 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
1910 [Kurt Roeckx]
1911
1912 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
1913 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
1914 were added:
1915
1916 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
1917 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
1918
1919 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
1920 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
1921 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
1922
1923 Additional changes:
1924 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
1925 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
1926 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
1927 an already created structure.
1928 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
1929 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
1930 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
1931 for deprecated builds.
1932 [Richard Levitte]
1933
1934 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
1935 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
1936 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
1937 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
1938 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
1939 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
1940 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
1941 [Matt Caswell]
1942
1943 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
1944 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
1945 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
1946 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
1947 [Kurt Roeckx]
1948
1949 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
1950 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
1951 [Kurt Roeckx]
1952
1953 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
1954 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
1955 [Kurt Roeckx]
1956
1957 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
1958 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
1959 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
1960 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
1961 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
1962 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
1963 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
1964 also been removed.
1965 [Matt Caswell]
1966
1967 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
1968 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
1969 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
1970 [Rich Salz]
1971
1972 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
1973 [Rich Salz]
1974
1975 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
1976 sureware and ubsec.
1977 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
1978
1979 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
1980
1981 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
1982 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
1983
1984 FOO *x;
1985
1986 it must be:
1987
1988 FOO x;
1989
1990 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
1991 set a mandatory field to NULL.
1992
1993 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
1994 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
1995 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
1996 SEQUENCE OF.
1997 [Steve Henson]
1998
1999 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
2000 [Emilia Käsper]
2001
2002 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
2003 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
2004 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
2005 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
2006 [Matt Caswell]
2007
2008 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
2009 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
2010 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
2011 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
2012 [Emilia Käsper]
2013
2014 *) Fix no-stdio build.
2015 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
2016 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
2017
2018 *) New testing framework
2019 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
2020 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
2021 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
2022 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
2023 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
2024 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
2025
2026 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
2027
2028 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
2029 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
2030
2031 [Richard Levitte]
2032
2033 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
2034 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
2035 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
2036 and others were changed. All are now documented.
2037 [Rich Salz]
2038
2039 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
2040 return an error
2041 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
2042
2043 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
2044 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
2045
2046 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
2047 original RSA_PSK patch.
2048 [Steve Henson]
2049
2050 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
2051 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
2052 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
2053 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
2054 [Matt Caswell]
2055
2056 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
2057 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
2058 [Richard Levitte]
2059
2060 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
2061 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
2062 hasn't been working properly for a while.
2063 [Emilia Käsper]
2064
2065 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
2066 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
2067 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
2068 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
2069 transferred.
2070 [Matt Caswell]
2071
2072 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
2073 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
2074 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
2075 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
2076 [Matt Caswell]
2077
2078 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
2079 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
2080 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
2081 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
2082 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
2083 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
2084 [Matt Caswell]
2085
2086 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
2087 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
2088 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
2089 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
2090 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
2091 header file has been removed.
2092 [Matt Caswell]
2093
2094 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
2095 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
2096 [Matt Caswell]
2097
2098 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
2099 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
2100 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
2101
2102 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
2103 Added a test.
2104 [Rich Salz]
2105
2106 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
2107 [Rich Salz]
2108
2109 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
2110 sha256
2111 [Rich Salz]
2112
2113 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
2114 [Matt Caswell]
2115
2116 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
2117 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
2118 initial patch which was a great help during development.
2119 [Steve Henson]
2120
2121 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
2122 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
2123 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
2124 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
2125 [Matt Caswell]
2126
2127 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
2128 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
2129 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
2130 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
2131 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
2132 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
2133 [Matt Caswell]
2134
2135 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
2136 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
2137 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
2138 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
2139 [Matt Caswell]
2140
2141 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
2142 compatible client hello.
2143 [Kurt Roeckx]
2144
2145 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
2146 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
2147 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
2148
2149 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
2150 [Rich Salz]
2151
2152 *) Removed old DES API.
2153 [Rich Salz]
2154
2155 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
2156 Sony NEWS4
2157 BEOS and BEOS_R5
2158 NeXT
2159 SUNOS
2160 MPE/iX
2161 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
2162 DGUX
2163 NCR
2164 Tandem
2165 Cray
2166 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
2167 [Rich Salz]
2168
2169 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
2170 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
2171 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
2172 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
2173 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
2174 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
2175 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
2176 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
2177 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
2178 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
2179 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
2180 [Rich Salz]
2181
2182 *) Cleaned up dead code
2183 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
2184 [Rich Salz]
2185
2186 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
2187 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
2188 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
2189 [Rich Salz]
2190
2191 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
2192 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
2193 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
2194 [Rich Salz]
2195
2196 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
2197 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
2198 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
2199
2200 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
2201 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
2202 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
2203
2204 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2205 compilation flags.
2206 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2207
2208 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2209 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
2210 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2211
2212 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2213 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2214
2215 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2216 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2217 server.
2218
2219 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2220 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
2221 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2222 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2223
2224 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2225 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2226 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2227 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2228
2229 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2230 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2231 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2232
2233 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2234 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2235 [Steve Henson]
2236
2237 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
2238
2239 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
2240 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
2241
2242 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
2243 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
2244
2245 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
2246 effect.
2247
2248 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
2249
2250 [Steve Henson]
2251
2252 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2253 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2254 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2255 algorithms and include tests cases.
2256 [Steve Henson]
2257
2258 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
2259 enveloped data.
2260 [Steve Henson]
2261
2262 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2263 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2264 [Steve Henson]
2265
2266 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2267 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2268
2269 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
2270 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
2271 [Steve Henson]
2272
2273 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
2274 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
2275 failures.
2276 [Steve Henson]
2277
2278 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
2279 sign or verify all in one operation.
2280 [Steve Henson]
2281
2282 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
2283 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
2284 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
2285 [Steve Henson]
2286
2287 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
2288 [Steve Henson]
2289
2290 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
2291 [Steve Henson]
2292
2293 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
2294 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
2295 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
2296 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
2297 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
2298 [Steve Henson]
2299
2300 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
2301 based on NID.
2302 [Steve Henson]
2303
2304 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
2305 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
2306 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
2307 [Steve Henson]
2308
2309 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
2310 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
2311
2312 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
2313 POST to handle HMAC cases.
2314 [Steve Henson]
2315
2316 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
2317 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
2318 [Steve Henson]
2319
2320 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
2321 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
2322 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2323 [Steve Henson]
2324
2325 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
2326 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
2327 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
2328 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
2329 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
2330 requested amount of entropy.
2331 [Steve Henson]
2332
2333 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
2334 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
2335 [Steve Henson]
2336
2337 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
2338 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
2339 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
2340 support.
2341 [Steve Henson]
2342
2343 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
2344 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
2345 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
2346 [Steve Henson]
2347
2348 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
2349 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
2350 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
2351 will never use XTS mode.
2352 [Steve Henson]
2353
2354 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
2355 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
2356 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
2357 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
2358 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
2359 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
2360 [Steve Henson]
2361
2362 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
2363 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
2364 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
2365 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
2366 [Steve Henson]
2367
2368 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
2369 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
2370 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
2371 [Steve Henson]
2372
2373 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
2374 [Steve Henson]
2375
2376 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
2377 [Steve Henson]
2378
2379 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
2380 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
2381 [Steve Henson]
2382
2383 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
2384 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
2385 [Steve Henson]
2386
2387 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
2388 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
2389 [Steve Henson]
2390
2391 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
2392 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
2393 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
2394 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
2395 and rename any affected symbols.
2396 [Steve Henson]
2397
2398 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
2399 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
2400 [Steve Henson]
2401
2402 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
2403 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
2404 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
2405 [Steve Henson]
2406
2407 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2408 [Steve Henson]
2409
2410 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
2411 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
2412 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
2413 [Steve Henson]
2414
2415 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
2416 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
2417 [Steve Henson]
2418
2419 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
2420 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
2421 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
2422 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
2423 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
2424 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
2425 set before the key.
2426 [Steve Henson]
2427
2428 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
2429 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
2430 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
2431 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
2432 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
2433 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
2434 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
2435 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
2436 [Steve Henson]
2437
2438 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
2439 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
2440 [Steve Henson]
2441
2442 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
2443
2444 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2445 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2446
2447 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
2448 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
2449 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
2450 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
2451 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
2452 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
2453
2454 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
2455 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
2456 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
2457 security.
2458 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
2459
2460 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
2461 parameters by name.
2462 [Steve Henson]
2463
2464 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
2465 Add CMAC pkey methods.
2466 [Steve Henson]
2467
2468 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
2469 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
2470 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
2471 [Steve Henson]
2472
2473 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
2474 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
2475 multi-process servers.
2476 [Steve Henson]
2477
2478 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
2479 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
2480 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
2481 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
2482 RAND_METHOD structure.
2483 [Steve Henson]
2484
2485 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
2486 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
2487 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
2488 whose return value is often ignored.
2489 [Steve Henson]
2490
2491 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.

2497
2498 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
2499
2500 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
2501 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
2502 AES-NI.
2503
2504 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
2505 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
2506 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
2507 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
2508 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
2509 bytes.

2511 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
2512 (CVE-2016-2107)
2513 [Kurt Roeckx]
2514
2515 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
2516
2517 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
2518 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
2519 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
2520 corruption.
2521
2522 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
2523 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
2524 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
2525 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
2526 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
2527 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
2528
2529 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2530 (CVE-2016-2105)
2531 [Matt Caswell]
2532
2533 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
2534
2535 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
2536 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
2537 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
2538 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
2539 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
2540 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
2541 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
2542 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
2543 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
2544 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
2545 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
2546 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
2547 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
2548 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
2549 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
2550 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.

2553 (CVE-2016-2106)
2554 [Matt Caswell]
2555
2556 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
2557
2558 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
2559 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
2560 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
2561
2562 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
2563 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
2564 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
2565 applications are not affected.
2566
2567 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
2568 (CVE-2016-2109)
2569 [Stephen Henson]
2570
2571 *) EBCDIC overread
2572
2573 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
2574 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
2575 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.

2593 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
2594
2595 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
2596 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
2597 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
2598 [Viktor Dukhovni]
2599
2600 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
2601 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
2602 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
2603 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
2604 will need to explicitly call either of:
2605
2606 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2607 or
2608 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2609
2610 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
2611 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
2612 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
2613 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
2614 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
2615 (CVE-2016-0800)
2616 [Viktor Dukhovni]
2617
2618 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
2619
2620 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
2621 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
2622 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
2623 considered rare.
2624
2625 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
2626 libFuzzer.
2627 (CVE-2016-0705)
2628 [Stephen Henson]
2629
2630 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
2631
2632 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
2633
2634 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
2635 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
2636 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
2637 is configured.
2638
2639 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
2640 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
2641 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
2642 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
2643 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
2644 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
2645 that of a valid user.
2646 (CVE-2016-0798)
2647 [Emilia Käsper]
2648
2649 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
2650
2651 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
2652 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
2653 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
2654 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
2655 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
2656 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
2657 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
2658 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
2659 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
2660 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
2661 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
2662
2663 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
2664 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
2665 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
2666 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
2667 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
2668
2669 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
2670 (CVE-2016-0797)
2671 [Matt Caswell]
2672
2673 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
2674
2675 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
2676 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
2677 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
2678
2679 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
2680 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
2681 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
2682 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
2683 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
2684 also occur.
2685
2686 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
2687 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
2688 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
2689 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
2690 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
2691 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
2692 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
2693 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
2694 as command line arguments.
2695
2696 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
2697 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
2698 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
2699
2700 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
2701 (CVE-2016-0799)
2702 [Matt Caswell]
2703
2704 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
2705
2706 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
2707 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
2708 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
2709 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
2710 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
2711
2712 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
2713 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and

2722 apps to use 2048 bits by default.

2724
2725 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
2726 *) DH small subgroups
2727
2728 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
2729 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
2730 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
2731 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
2732 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
2733 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
2734 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
2735 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
2736 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
2737 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
2738
2739 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
2740 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
2741 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
2742 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
2743 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
2744
2745 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
2746 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
2747 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
2748 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
2749
2750 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
2751 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
2752
2753 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).

2755 [Matt Caswell]
2756
2757 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
2758
2759 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
2760 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
2761 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
2762 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

2771 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
2772
2773 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
2774 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
2775 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
2776 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
2777 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
2778 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
2779 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
2780 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
2781 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
2782 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
2783 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
2784 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

2791
2792 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2793 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2794 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
2795 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
2796 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
2797 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
2798 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client

2829 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
2830
2831 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
2832 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
2833 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
2834 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
2835 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
2836 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.

2852
2853 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
2854 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
2855 field.
2856
2857 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
2858 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
2859 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
2860 client authentication enabled.

2867
2868 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
2869 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
2870 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
2871 time string.
2872
2873 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
2874 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
2875 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
2876 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
2877 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
2878 callbacks.

2934
2935 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
2936
2937 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
2938 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
2939 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
2940 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
2941 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
2942 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
2943 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
2944 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.

2948 [Matt Caswell]
2949
2950 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
2951
2952 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
2953 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
2954 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
2955 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
2956 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
2957 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
2958 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
2959 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
2960 server.

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

3796 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
3797 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
3798 (CVE-2013-0169)
3799 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3800
3801 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
3802 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
3803 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
3804 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
3805 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
3806 (CVE-2012-2686)
3807 [Adam Langley]
3808
3809 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
3810 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
3811 [Steve Henson]
3812
3813 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
3814 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3815
3816 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
3817 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
3818 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
3819 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
3820 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
3821
3822 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
3823 [Steve Henson]
3824
3825 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
3826 if renegotiating.
3827 [Steve Henson]
3828
3829 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
3830
3831 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
3832 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
3833
3834 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
3835 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
3836 (CVE-2012-2333)
3837 [Steve Henson]
3838
3839 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
3840 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
3841 [Steve Henson]
3842
3843 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
3844 approved.
3845 [Steve Henson]
3846
3847 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
3848
3849 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
3850 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
3851 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
3852 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disabling
3853 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
3854 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
3855 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
3856 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
3857 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
3858 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
3859 [Steve Henson]
3860
3861 *) In order to ensure interoperability SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
3862 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
3863 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
3864 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
3865 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
3866 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
3867 client side.
3868 [Andy Polyakov]
3869
3870 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
3871
3872 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
3873 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
3874 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
3875
3876 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
3877 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
3878 (CVE-2012-2110)
3879 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
3880
3881 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
3882 [Adam Langley]
3883
3884 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
3885 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
3886
3887 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
3888 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
3889 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
3890 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
3891 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
3892 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
3893 Most broken servers should now work.
3894 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
3895 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
3896 [Steve Henson]
3897
3898 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
3899 [Andy Polyakov]
3900
3901 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
3902
3903 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
3904 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
3905 [Steve Henson]
3906
3907 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
3908 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
3909 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
3910 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
3911 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
3912 [Steve Henson]
3913
3914 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
3915 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
3916 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
3917 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
3918 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
3919 [Steve Henson]
3920
3921 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
3922 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3923
3924 *) Add support for SCTP.
3925 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3926
3927 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3928 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3929
3930 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
3931
3932 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
3933 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
3934 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
3935 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
3936 - s390x: z196 support;
3937 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
3938
3939 [Andy Polyakov]
3940
3941 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
3942 (removal of unnecessary code)
3943 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
3944
3945 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
3946 [Eric Rescorla]
3947
3948 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
3949 [Eric Rescorla]
3950
3951 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
3952 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
3953 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
3954 by Google.
3955 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3956
3957 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
3958 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
3959 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
3960 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
3961 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
3962
3963 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
3964 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
3965 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
3966
3967 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
3968 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
3969 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
3970
3971 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
3972 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
3973 implementations).
3974 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3975
3976 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
3977 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
3978 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
3979 [Steve Henson]
3980
3981 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
3982 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
3983 particular PSS.
3984 [Steve Henson]
3985
3986 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
3987 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
3988 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
3989 [Steve Henson]
3990
3991 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
3992 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
3993 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
3994 the appropriate parameters.
3995 [Steve Henson]
3996
3997 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
3998 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
3999 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
4000 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
4001 against a number of sample certificates.
4002 [Steve Henson]
4003
4004 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
4005 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
4006
4007 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
4008 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
4009
4010 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
4011 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
4012 parameters r, s.
4013 [Steve Henson]
4014
4015 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
4016 RFC3211.
4017 [Steve Henson]
4018
4019 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
4020 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
4021 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
4022 password based CMS).
4023 [Steve Henson]
4024
4025 *) Session-handling fixes:
4026 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
4027 but also support Session Tickets.
4028 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
4029 presented a ticket with an expired session.
4030 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
4031 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
4032 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
4033 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4034
4035 *) Fix PSK session representation.
4036 [Bodo Moeller]
4037
4038 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
4039
4040 This work was sponsored by Intel.
4041 [Andy Polyakov]
4042
4043 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
4044 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
4045 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
4046 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
4047 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
4048 [Steve Henson]
4049
4050 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
4051 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
4052 [Steve Henson]
4053
4054 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
4055 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
4056 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
4057 [Steve Henson]
4058
4059 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
4060 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
4061 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
4062 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
4063 [Steve Henson]
4064
4065 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
4066 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
4067 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
4068 [Steve Henson]
4069
4070 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
4071 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
4072
4073 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
4074 [Steve Henson]
4075
4076 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
4077 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
4078 [Steve Henson]
4079
4080 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
4081 [Steve Henson]
4082
4083 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
4084 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
4085 [Steve Henson]
4086
4087 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
4088 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
4089 [Steve Henson]
4090
4091 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
4092 [Steve Henson]
4093
4094 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
4095 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
4096 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
4097 [Steve Henson]
4098
4099 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
4100 [Steve Henson]
4101
4102 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
4103 [Steve Henson]
4104
4105 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
4106 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
4107 [Steve Henson]
4108
4109 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
4110 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
4111 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
4112 [Steve Henson]
4113
4114 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
4115 [Steve Henson]
4116
4117 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
4118 and enable MD5.
4119 [Steve Henson]
4120
4121 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
4122 FIPS modules versions.
4123 [Steve Henson]
4124
4125 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
4126 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
4127 until after the certificate request message is received.
4128 [Steve Henson]
4129
4130 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
4131 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
4132 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
4133 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
4134 [Steve Henson]
4135
4136 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
4137 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
4138 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
4139 support yet and no support for client certificates.
4140 [Steve Henson]
4141
4142 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
4143 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
4144 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
4145 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
4146 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
4147 and version checking.
4148 [Steve Henson]
4149
4150 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
4151 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
4152 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
4153 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
4154 [Steve Henson]
4155
4156 *) A long standing patch to add support for SRP from EdelWeb (Peter
4157 Sylvester and Christophe Renou) was integrated.
4158 [Christophe Renou <christophe.renou@edelweb.fr>, Peter Sylvester
4159 <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>, Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu>, and
4160 Ben Laurie]
4161
4162 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
4163 [Steve Henson]
4164
4165 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
4166 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
4167 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
4168
4169 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
4170 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
4171 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
4172 [Steve Henson]
4173
4174 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
4175 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
4176
4177 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
4178 a few changes are required:
4179
4180 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
4181 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
4182 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
4183 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
4184 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
4185 [Steve Henson]
4186
4187 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
4188
4189 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
4190 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
4191 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
4192 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
4193 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
4194 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
4195 an MMA defence is not necessary.
4196 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
4197 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
4198 [Steve Henson]
4199
4200 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
4201 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
4202 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
4203 [Steve Henson]
4204
4205 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
4206
4207 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
4208 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
4209 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
4210 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
4211 [Antonio Martin]
4212
4213 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
4214
4215 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
4216 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
4217 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
4218 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
4219 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
4220 paper describing this attack can be found at:
4221 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
4222 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
4223 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
4224 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
4225 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
4226 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
4227 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
4228
4229 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
4230 (CVE-2011-4576)
4231 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4232
4233 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
4234 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
4235 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
4236 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4237
4238 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
4239 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
4240
4241 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
4242 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
4243 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
4244 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4245
4246 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
4247 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
4248
4249 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
4250 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4251
4252 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
4253 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
4254
4255 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
4256 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
4257 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4258
4259 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
4260 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
4261 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
4262
4263 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
4264 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
4265 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
4266 the last update always remained unused).
4267 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
4268
4269 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
4270 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
4271
4272 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
4273
4274 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
4275 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
4276 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
4277
4278 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
4279 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
4280 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4281
4282 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
4283 [Bodo Moeller]
4284
4285 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
4286 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
4287 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
4288 [Steve Henson]
4289
4290 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
4291 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
4292
4293 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
4294
4295 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
4296
4297 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
4298
4299 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
4300 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4301
4302 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
4303 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
4304 ambiguous.
4305 [Steve Henson]
4306
4307 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
4308
4309 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
4310 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
4311 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
4312 [Steve Henson]
4313
4314 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
4315 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
4316 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
4317 [Ben Laurie]
4318
4319 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
4320
4321 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
4322 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
4323 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
4324 [Steve Henson]
4325
4326 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
4327 a DLL.
4328 [Steve Henson]
4329
4330 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
4331
4332 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
4333 (CVE-2010-1633)
4334 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
4335
4336 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
4337
4338 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
4339 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
4340 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
4341 [Steve Henson]
4342
4343 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
4344 [Steve Henson]
4345
4346 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
4347 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
4348 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
4349
4350 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
4351 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
4352 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
4353 [Steve Henson]
4354
4355 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
4356 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
4357 [Steve Henson]
4358
4359 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
4360 some responders need this.
4361 [Steve Henson]
4362
4363 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
4364 correctly.
4365 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4366
4367 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
4368 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
4369 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
4370 [Steve Henson]
4371
4372 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
4373 [Steve Henson]
4374
4375 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
4376 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
4377 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
4378 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
4379 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
4380 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
4381 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
4382 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
4383 [Steve Henson]
4384
4385 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
4386 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
4387 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
4388 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4389
4390 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
4391 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
4392
4393 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
4394 be used on C++.
4395 [Steve Henson]
4396
4397 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
4398 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
4399 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
4400 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
4401 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
4402 attempting to work them out.
4403 [Steve Henson]
4404
4405 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
4406 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
4407 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
4408 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
4409 [Steve Henson]
4410
4411 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
4412 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
4413 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
4414 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
4415 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
4416 [Steve Henson]
4417
4418 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
4419 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
4420 you can do:
4421
4422 openssl sha256 foo
4423
4424 as well as:
4425
4426 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
4427
4428 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
4429
4430 [Steve Henson]
4431
4432 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
4433 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4434
4435 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
4436 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
4437
4438 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
4439 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
4440 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
4441 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
4442 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
4443 [Steve Henson]
4444
4445 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
4446 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
4447 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
4448 [Steve Henson]
4449
4450 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
4451 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
4452 [Steve Henson]
4453
4454 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
4455 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
4456
4457 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
4458 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
4459 [Steve Henson]
4460
4461 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
4462 [Ben Laurie]
4463
4464 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
4465 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
4466 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
4467 CONF_VALUE.
4468 [Ben Laurie]
4469
4470 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
4471 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
4472 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
4473 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
4474 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
4475 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
4476 [Steve Henson]
4477
4478 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
4479 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
4480
4481 This work was sponsored by Google.
4482 [Steve Henson]
4483
4484 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
4485 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
4486 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
4487 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
4488 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
4489 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
4490 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
4491 default.
4492
4493 This work was sponsored by Google.
4494 [Steve Henson]
4495
4496 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
4497
4498 This work was sponsored by Google.
4499 [Steve Henson]
4500
4501 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
4502 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
4503 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
4504 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
4505
4506 This work was sponsored by Google.
4507 [Steve Henson]
4508
4509 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
4510 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
4511 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
4512 CRL functionality in future.
4513
4514 This work was sponsored by Google.
4515 [Steve Henson]
4516
4517 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
4518
4519 This work was sponsored by Google.
4520 [Steve Henson]
4521
4522 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
4523 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
4524
4525 This work was sponsored by Google.
4526 [Steve Henson]
4527
4528 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
4529 and URI types are currently supported.
4530
4531 This work was sponsored by Google.
4532 [Steve Henson]
4533
4534 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
4535 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
4536 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
4537 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
4538 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
4539 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
4540 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
4541 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
4542
4543 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
4544 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
4545 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
4546
4547 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
4548 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
4549 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
4550 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
4551
4552 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
4553 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
4554 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
4555 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
4556 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
4557 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
4558 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
4559 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
4560 of &errno.)
4561 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
4562
4563 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
4564 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
4565 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
4566
4567 This work was sponsored by Google.
4568 [Steve Henson]
4569
4570 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
4571 [Ben Laurie]
4572
4573 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4574 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
4575 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
4576 [Ben Laurie]
4577
4578 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
4579 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
4580 [Nick Mathewson]
4581
4582 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4583 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
4584 [Ben Laurie]
4585
4586 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
4587 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
4588 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
4589 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
4590 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
4591 content types and variants.
4592 [Steve Henson]
4593
4594 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
4595 [Steve Henson]
4596
4597 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
4598 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
4599 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
4600 files from the associated perl scripts.
4601 [Steve Henson]
4602
4603 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
4604 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
4605 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4606
4607 *) s390x assembler pack.
4608 [Andy Polyakov]
4609
4610 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
4611 "family."
4612 [Andy Polyakov]
4613
4614 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
4615 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
4616 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
4617 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
4618 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
4619 to use. For example, specify an option
4620
4621 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
4622
4623 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
4624 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
4625 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
4626 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
4627 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
4628 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
4629
4630 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
4631 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
4632 an internal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
4633 return non-zero for success.
4634
4635 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
4636 by using
4637
4638 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
4639 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4640
4641 where
4642
4643 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
4644 void *arg;
4645
4646 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
4647 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
4648 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
4649 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
4650 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
4651 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
4652 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
4653 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
4654 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
4655
4656 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
4657 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
4658 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
4659 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
4660 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
4661 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
4662
4663 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
4664 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
4665 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
4666 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
4667 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
4668 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
4669
4670 [Bodo Moeller]
4671
4672 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
4673 MAC.
4674
4675 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4676
4677 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4678 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4679 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4680 supported.
4681
4682 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4683 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4684 SSL_SESSION.
4685
4686 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4687 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4688 with no application modification.
4689
4690 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4691 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4692
4693 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4694 or server extensions to be examined.
4695
4696 This work was sponsored by Google.
4697 [Steve Henson]
4698
4699 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
4700 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
4701 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
4702
4703 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
4704 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
4705 ciphersuite support.
4706 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
4707
4708 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
4709 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
4710 to output in BER and PEM format.
4711 [Steve Henson]
4712
4713 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
4714 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
4715 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
4716 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
4717 -macopt options to dgst utility.
4718 [Steve Henson]
4719
4720 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
4721 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
4722 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
4723 utility.
4724 [Steve Henson]
4725
4726 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
4727 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
4728 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
4729 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
4730 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
4731 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
4732 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
4733 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
4734 enabled again.
4735
4736 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
4737 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
4738 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
4739 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
4740
4741 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
4742 functionality) such that between otherwise identical
4743 ciphersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
4744 the default order.
4745 [Bodo Moeller]
4746
4747 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
4748 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
4749 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
4750 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
4751 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
4752 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
4753 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
4754 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
4755 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
4756
4757 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
4758 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
4759 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
4760 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
4761 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
4762 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
4763 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
4764 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
4765 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
4766 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
4767 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
4768 kinds of kludges.
4769
4770 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
4771 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
4772 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
4773
4774 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
4775 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
4776 "CAMELLIA256".
4777 [Bodo Moeller]
4778
4779 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
4780 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
4781 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
4782 [Nils Larsch]
4783
4784 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
4785 it yet and it is largely untested.
4786 [Steve Henson]
4787
4788 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
4789 [Nils Larsch]
4790
4791 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
4792 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
4793 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
4794 [Steve Henson]
4795
4796 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
4797 [Andy Polyakov]
4798
4799 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
4800 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
4801 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
4802 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
4803 [Steve Henson]
4804
4805 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
4806 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
4807 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
4808 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
4809 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
4810 [Steve Henson]
4811
4812 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
4813 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
4814 [Cryptocom]
4815
4816 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
4817 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
4818 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
4819 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
4820 [Steve Henson]
4821
4822 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
4823 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
4824 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
4825 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
4826 [Steve Henson]
4827
4828 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
4829 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
4830 [Steve Henson]
4831
4832 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
4833 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
4834 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
4835 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
4836 [Steve Henson]
4837
4838 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
4839 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
4840 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
4841 [Steve Henson]
4842
4843 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
4844 utility.
4845 [Steve Henson]
4846
4847 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
4848 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
4849 [Steve Henson]
4850
4851 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
4852 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
4853 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
4854 if necessary.
4855 [Steve Henson]
4856
4857 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
4858 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
4859 to free up any added signature OIDs.
4860 [Steve Henson]
4861
4862 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
4863 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
4864 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
4865 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
4866 [Steve Henson]
4867
4868 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
4869 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
4870 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
4871 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
4872 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
4873 the array representation useful in a more general context.
4874 [Douglas Stebila]
4875
4876 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
4877 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
4878 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
4879 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
4880 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
4881
4882 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
4883 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
4884 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
4885 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
4886 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
4887 protocol).
4888
4889 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
4890 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
4891 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
4892 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
4893
4894 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
4895 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
4896 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
4897 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
4898 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
4899
4900 aECDH - ECDH cert
4901 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
4902 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
4903
4904 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
4905 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
4906
4907 [Bodo Moeller]
4908
4909 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
4910 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
4911 [Steve Henson]
4912
4913 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
4914 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
4915 [Steve Henson]
4916
4917 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
4918 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
4919 functional reference processing.
4920 [Steve Henson]
4921
4922 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enhanced versions of
4923 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
4924 process.
4925 [Steve Henson]
4926
4927 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
4928 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
4929 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
4930 [Steve Henson]
4931
4932 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
4933 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
4934 application to support multiple signers.
4935 [Steve Henson]
4936
4937 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
4938 digest MAC.
4939 [Steve Henson]
4940
4941 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
4942 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
4943 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
4944 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
4945 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
4946 [Steve Henson]
4947
4948 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
4949 new API.
4950 [Steve Henson]
4951
4952 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
4953 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
4954 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
4955 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
4956 a no op.
4957 [Steve Henson]
4958
4959 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
4960 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
4961 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
4962 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
4963 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
4964 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
4965 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
4966 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
4967 [Steve Henson]
4968
4969 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
4970 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
4971 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
4972 between digests and public key types.
4973 [Steve Henson]
4974
4975 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
4976 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
4977 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
4978 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
4979 [Steve Henson]
4980
4981 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
4982 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
4983 key ASN1 method.
4984 [Steve Henson]
4985
4986 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
4987 [Steve Henson]
4988
4989 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
4990 pkeyutl.
4991 [Steve Henson]
4992
4993 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
4994 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
4995 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
4996 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
4997 pkey, genpkey.
4998 [Steve Henson]
4999
5000 *) BeOS support.
5001 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
5002
5003 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
5004 manual pages.
5005 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
5006
5007 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
5008 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
5009 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
5010 functionality for RSA.
5011 [Steve Henson]
5012
5013 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
5014 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
5015 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
5016 [Steve Henson]
5017
5018 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
5019 key API, doesn't do much yet.
5020 [Steve Henson]
5021
5022 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
5023 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
5024 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
5025 [Steve Henson]
5026
5027 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
5028 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
5029 [Douglas Stebila]
5030
5031 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
5032 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
5033 [Steve Henson]
5034
5035 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
5036 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
5037 type.
5038 [Steve Henson]
5039
5040 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
5041 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
5042 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
5043 structure.
5044 [Steve Henson]
5045
5046 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
5047 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
5048 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
5049 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
5050 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
5051 of public and private key structures.
5052 [Steve Henson]
5053
5054 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
5055 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
5056 [Douglas Stebila]
5057
5058 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
5059 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
5060 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
5061
5062 New ciphersuites:
5063 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
5064 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
5065
5066 New functions:
5067 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
5068 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
5069 SSL_get_psk_identity
5070 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
5071
5072 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
5073
5074 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
5075 and response verification functionality.
5076 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
5077
5078 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
5079 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
5080 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
5081 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
5082 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
5083 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
5084 server_name extension.
5085
5086 New functions (subject to change):
5087
5088 SSL_get_servername()
5089 SSL_get_servername_type()
5090 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
5091
5092 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
5093
5094 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
5095 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
5096 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
5097 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
5098 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
5099
5100 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
5101
5102 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
5103 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
5104 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
5105 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
5106 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
5107 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
5108 option.
5109
5110 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
5111
5112 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
5113 [Andy Polyakov]
5114
5115 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
5116 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
5117 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
5118 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
5119 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
5120 [Andy Polyakov]
5121
5122 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
5123 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
5124 macro.
5125 [Bodo Moeller]
5126
5127 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
5128 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
5129 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
5130 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
5131 [Andy Polyakov]
5132
5133 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
5134 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
5135 Save memory by setting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
5136 using the maximum available value.
5137 [Steve Henson]
5138
5139 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
5140 in addition to the text details.
5141 [Bodo Moeller]
5142
5143 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
5144 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
5145 handle several customised structures at all.
5146 [Steve Henson]
5147
5148 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
5149 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
5150 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
5151 [Steve Henson]
5152
5153 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
5154 [Steve Henson]
5155
5156 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
5157 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
5158 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
5159 [Steve Henson]
5160
5161 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
5162 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
5163 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
5164 [Nils Larsch]
5165
5166 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
5167 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
5168 all fields.
5169 [Steve Henson]
5170
5171 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
5172 [Steve Henson]
5173
5174 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
5175 [NTT]
5176
5177 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
5178
5179 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
5180 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
5181 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
5182 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
5183 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
5184 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
5185 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
5186 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
5187
5188 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
5189 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
5190 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
5191
5192 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
5193
5194 *) Always check bn_wexpand() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
5195 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
5196
5197 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
5198 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
5199 [Bodo Moeller]
5200
5201 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
5202 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
5203 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
5204 [Steve Henson]
5205
5206 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
5207 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
5208 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
5209 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
5210 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
5211 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
5212 [Steve Henson]
5213
5214 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
5215 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
5216 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
5217 [Steve Henson]
5218
5219 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
5220 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
5221 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
5222 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
5223 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
5224 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
5225 CVE-2009-4355.
5226 [Steve Henson]
5227
5228 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
5229 change when encrypting or decrypting.
5230 [Bodo Moeller]
5231
5232 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
5233 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
5234 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
5235 [Steve Henson]
5236
5237 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
5238 [Steve Henson]
5239
5240 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
5241 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
5242 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
5243 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
5244 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
5245 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
5246 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
5247 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
5248 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
5249 [Steve Henson]
5250
5251 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
5252 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
5253 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
5254 [Steve Henson]
5255
5256 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
5257 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
5258 [Steve Henson]
5259
5260 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
5261 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
5262 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
5263 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
5264 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
5265 know what you are doing.
5266 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
5267
5268 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
5269 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
5270 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
5271 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
5272 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
5273 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
5274 the handshake.
5275 [Steve Henson]
5276
5277 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
5278 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
5279 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
5280 correctly.
5281 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
5282
5283 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
5284 warnings in other configurations.
5285 [Steve Henson]
5286
5287 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
5288 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
5289 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
5290 systems need.
5291 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
5292
5293 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
5294 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
5295 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
5296
5297 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
5298 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
5299 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
5300 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
5301 [Steve Henson]
5302
5303 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
5304 and restored.
5305 [Steve Henson]
5306
5307 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
5308 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
5309 clash.
5310 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
5311
5312 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
5313 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
5314 other than a simple chain.
5315 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
5316
5317 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
5318 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
5319 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
5320 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
5321 [Steve Henson]
5322
5323 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
5324 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
5325 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
5326 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
5327 left. Additionally every future message was buffered, even if the
5328 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
5329 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
5330 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
5331 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
5332
5333 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
5334 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
5335 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
5336 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
5337 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
5338 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
5339 (CVE-2009-1377)
5340 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
5341
5342 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
5343 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
5344 [Daniel Mentz]
5345
5346 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
5347 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
5348
5349 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
5350 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
5351
5352 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
5353
5354 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
5355 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
5356 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
5357 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
5358 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
5359 you're doing.
5360 [Ben Laurie]
5361
5362 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
5363
5364 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
5365 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
5366 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
5367 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
5368
5369 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
5370 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
5371 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
5372 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
5373
5374 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
5375 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
5376 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
5377 [Steve Henson]
5378
5379 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
5380 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
5381 level.
5382 [Steve Henson]
5383
5384 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
5385 to handle some structures.
5386 [Steve Henson]
5387
5388 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
5389 for a '\n'
5390 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
5391
5392 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
5393 [Matthieu Herrb]
5394
5395 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
5396 [Steve Henson]
5397
5398 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
5399 [Steve Henson]
5400
5401 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
5402 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
5403 chosen compiler.
5404 [Ben Laurie]
5405
5406 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
5407
5408 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
5409 (CVE-2008-5077).
5410 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
5411
5412 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
5413 [Ben Laurie]
5414
5415 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
5416 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
5417 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
5418 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
5419
5420 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
5421 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
5422
5423 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
5424 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
5425 [Bodo Moeller]
5426
5427 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
5428 s_client and s_server.
5429 [Ben Laurie]
5430
5431 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
5432 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
5433
5434 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
5435 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
5436
5437 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
5438 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
5439 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
5440 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
5441 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
5442 [Bodo Moeller]
5443
5444 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
5445
5446 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
5447 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
5448 [PR #1679]
5449
5450 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
5451 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
5452 [Nagendra Modadugu]
5453
5454 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
5455 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
5456 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
5457 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
5458
5459 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
5460 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
5461
5462 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
5463
5464 *) Various precautionary measures:
5465
5466 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
5467
5468 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
5469 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
5470 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
5471
5472 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
5473 outside the expected range.
5474
5475 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
5476 builds.
5477
5478 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
5479
5480 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
5481 the load fails. Useful for distros.
5482 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
5483
5484 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
5485 [Steve Henson]
5486
5487 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
5488 [Huang Ying]
5489
5490 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
5491
5492 This work was sponsored by Logica.
5493 [Steve Henson]
5494
5495 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
5496 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
5497 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
5498
5499 This work was sponsored by Logica.
5500 [Steve Henson]
5501
5502 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
5503 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
5504 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
5505 files.
5506 [Steve Henson]
5507
5508 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
5509
5510 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
5511 handshake which could lead to a client crash as found using the
5512 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
5513 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
5514
5515 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
5516 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
5517 [Joe Orton]
5518
5519 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
5520
5521 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
5522 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
5523 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
5524
5525 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
5526
5527 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
5528 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
5529 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
5530 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
5531 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5532
5533 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
5534 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
5535 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
5536 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
5537 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
5538 invalid read after the end of 'db').
5539 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
5540
5541 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
5542
5543 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
5544 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
5545 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
5546 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
5547 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
5548
5549 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
5550 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
5551
5552 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
5553 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
5554 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
5555 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
5556 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
5557
5558 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
5559
5560 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
5561 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
5562 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
5563 sets may exist with different names.
5564 [Steve Henson]
5565
5566 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
5567 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
5568 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
5569 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
5570 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
5571 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
5572 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
5573 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
5574 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
5575 implementation.
5576 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
5577
5578 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
5579 implementation in the following ways:
5580
5581 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
5582 hard coded.
5583
5584 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
5585 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
5586 ignored for embedded content.
5587
5588 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
5589 with the enable-cms configuration option.
5590 [Steve Henson]
5591
5592 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
5593 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
5594 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
5595 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
5596
5597 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
5598 uncompresses any data passed through it.
5599 [Steve Henson]
5600
5601 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
5602 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
5603 [Steve Henson]
5604
5605 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
5606 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
5607 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
5608 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
5609 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
5610 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
5611 data.
5612 [Steve Henson]
5613
5614 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
5615 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
5616 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
5617
5618 *) Netware support:
5619
5620 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
5621 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
5622 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
5623 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
5624 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
5625 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
5626 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
5627 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
5628 platform
5629 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
5630 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
5631 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
5632 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
5633 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
5634 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
5635 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
5636
5637 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
5638 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
5639 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
5640 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
5641 to s_client and s_server.
5642 [Steve Henson]
5643
5644 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
5645
5646 *) Fix various bugs:
5647 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
5648 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
5649 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
5650 + Fix ia64 assembler code
5651 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
5652
5653 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
5654
5655 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
5656 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
5657 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
5658 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
5659 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
5660 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
5661 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
5662 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
5663 [Andy Polyakov]
5664
5665 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
5666 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
5667 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
5668 Steve Henson]
5669
5670 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
5671 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
5672 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
5673 supported.
5674
5675 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
5676 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
5677 SSL_SESSION.
5678
5679 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
5680 protection in servers so again support should be possible
5681 with no application modification.
5682
5683 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
5684 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
5685
5686 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
5687 or server extensions to be examined.
5688
5689 This work was sponsored by Google.
5690 [Steve Henson]
5691
5692 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
5693 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
5694 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
5695 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
5696 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
5697 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
5698 server_name extension.
5699
5700 New functions (subject to change):
5701
5702 SSL_get_servername()
5703 SSL_get_servername_type()
5704 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
5705
5706 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
5707
5708 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
5709 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
5710 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
5711 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
5712 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
5713
5714 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
5715
5716 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
5717 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
5718 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
5719 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
5720 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
5721 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
5722 option.
5723
5724 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
5725
5726 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
5727 [Steve Henson]
5728
5729 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
5730 [Andy Polyakov]
5731
5732 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
5733 (which previously caused an internal error).
5734 [Bodo Moeller]
5735
5736 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
5737 [Ben Laurie]
5738
5739 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
5740 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
5741
5742 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
5743 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
5744 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
5745
5746 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
5747 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
5748 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
5749 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
5750
5751 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5752 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5753 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
5754 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
5755
5756 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
5757 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
5758 information. For detailed background information, see
5759 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
5760 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
5761 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
5762 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
5763 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
5764 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
5765 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
5766 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
5767 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
5768 remove a conditional branch.
5769
5770 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
5771 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
5772 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
5773 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
5774 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
5775 remains as a deprecated alias.
5776
5777 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
5778 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
5779 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
5780 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
5781
5782 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
5783 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
5784 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
5785 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
5786 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
5787 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
5788 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
5789 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
5790
5791 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
5792
5793 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
5794 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
5795 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
5796 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
5797 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
5798 with applications using a single external cache for quite
5799 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
5800 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
5801 in a different context.
5802 [Bodo Moeller]
5803
5804 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5805 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5806 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5807 [Bodo Moeller]
5808
5809 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
5810 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
5811 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
5812
5813 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
5814
5815 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
5816 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
5817 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5818 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
5819 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
5820 [Victor Duchovni]
5821
5822 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
5823 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
5824 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
5825 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
5826 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
5827 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
5828 [Bodo Moeller]
5829
5830 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5831 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5832 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5833 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5834 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5835 [Bodo Moeller]
5836
5837 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
5838 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
5839
5840 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5841 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5842 Improve header file function name parsing.
5843 [Steve Henson]
5844
5845 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
5846 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
5847 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
5848
5849 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
5850
5851 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5852 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5853 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5854
5855 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5856 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5857
5858 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5859 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5860
5861 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5862 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5863 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5864
5865 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
5866 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
5867 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
5868 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
5869 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
5870 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
5871 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
5872 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
5873 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
5874
5875 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
5876 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
5877 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
5878 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
5879 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
5880
5881 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
5882 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
5883 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
5884 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
5885 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
5886 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
5887 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
5888 multiple values to extend the available space.
5889
5890 [Bodo Moeller]
5891
5892 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
5893
5894 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5895 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5896
5897 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
5898 [Ben Laurie]
5899
5900 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5901 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5902 undesirable limitations.
5903 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5904
5905 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
5906 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
5907 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
5908 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
5909 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
5910 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
5911 to avoid potential handshake problems.
5912 [Bodo Moeller]
5913
5914 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5915
5916 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5917 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5918 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5919
5920 The latter two were purportedly from
5921 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5922 appear there.
5923
5924 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
5925 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5926 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5927 [Bodo Moeller]
5928
5929 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5930 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5931 [Bodo Moeller]
5932
5933 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
5934 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
5935 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
5936 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
5937
5938 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5939 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5940 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
5941 [NTT]
5942
5943 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
5944 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
5945 necessarily true if compression is enabled and can result in false
5946 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
5947 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
5948 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
5949 [Steve Henson]
5950
5951 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
5952
5953 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
5954 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
5955 [Steve Henson]
5956
5957 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
5958 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
5959
5960 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5961 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
5962 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
5963 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
5964 [Douglas Stebila]
5965
5966 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
5967 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
5968 [Steve Henson]
5969
5970 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
5971 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
5972 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
5973 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
5974 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
5975 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
5976 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
5977 can't be loaded.
5978 [Steve Henson]
5979
5980 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
5981 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
5982 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
5983 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
5984 [Steve Henson]
5985
5986 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
5987 under VC++ build system.
5988 [Steve Henson]
5989
5990 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
5991 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
5992 [Richard Levitte]
5993
5994 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
5995
5996 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5997 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5998 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5999 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
6000 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
6001
6002 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
6003 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
6004 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
6005
6006 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
6007 [Steve Henson]
6008
6009 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
6010 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
6011 [Nils Larsch]
6012
6013 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
6014 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
6015
6016 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
6017 [Nick Mathewson]
6018
6019 *) Extended Windows CE support.
6020 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
6021
6022 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
6023 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
6024 [Steve Henson]
6025
6026 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
6027 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
6028 smime utility.
6029 [Steve Henson]
6030
6031 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
6032
6033 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
6034 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
6035
6036 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
6037 [Richard Levitte]
6038
6039 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
6040 key into the same file any more.
6041 [Richard Levitte]
6042
6043 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
6044 [Andy Polyakov]
6045
6046 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
6047 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
6048
6049 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
6050 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
6051 [Richard Levitte]
6052
6053 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
6054 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
6055 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
6056 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
6057 this only applies when building 'shared'.
6058 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
6059
6060 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
6061 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
6062 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
6063 [Steve Henson]
6064
6065 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
6066 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
6067 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
6068 - add new function for parameter creation
6069 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
6070 BN_BLINDING parameters
6071 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
6072 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
6073 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
6074 threads.
6075 [Nils Larsch]
6076
6077 *) Add support for DTLS.
6078 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
6079
6080 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
6081 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
6082 [Walter Goulet]
6083
6084 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
6085 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
6086 [Nils Larsch]
6087
6088 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
6089 the apps/openssl applications.
6090 [Nils Larsch]
6091
6092 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
6093 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
6094 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
6095 [Ben Laurie]
6096
6097 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
6098 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
6099
6100 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
6101 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
6102
6103 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
6104 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
6105 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
6106 avoid this algorithm.)
6107
6108 [Bodo Moeller]
6109
6110 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
6111 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
6112 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
6113 [Richard Levitte]
6114
6115 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
6116 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
6117 [Andy Polyakov]
6118
6119 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
6120 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
6121 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
6122 pod file:
6123
6124 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
6125
6126 The blank line is mandatory.
6127
6128 [Steve Henson]
6129
6130 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
6131 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
6132 sources.
6133 [Steve Henson]
6134
6135 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
6136 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
6137
6138 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
6139 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
6140 to support policy checking and print out.
6141 [Steve Henson]
6142
6143 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
6144 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
6145 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
6146 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
6147
6148 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
6149 [Geoff Thorpe]
6150
6151 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
6152 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
6153
6154 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
6155 implementation contributed by IBM.
6156 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
6157
6158 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
6159 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
6160 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
6161 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
6162
6163 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
6164 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
6165
6166 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
6167 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
6168 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
6169 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
6170 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
6171 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
6172 [Steve Henson]
6173
6174 *) Reduced header interdependencies by declaring more opaque objects in
6175 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
6176 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
6177 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
6178 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
6179 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
6180 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
6181 [Geoff Thorpe]
6182
6183 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
6184 [Steve Henson]
6185
6186 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
6187 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
6188 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
6189 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
6190 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
6191 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
6192 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
6193 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
6194 [Steve Henson]
6195
6196 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
6197 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
6198 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
6199 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
6200 [Steve Henson]
6201
6202 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
6203 syntax:
6204
6205 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
6206 [Steve Henson]
6207
6208 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
6209 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
6210 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
6211 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
6212 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
6213 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
6214 BN_CTX's "bundling".
6215 [Geoff Thorpe]
6216
6217 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
6218 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
6219 [Geoff Thorpe]
6220
6221 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
6222 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
6223 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
6224 [Steve Henson]
6225
6226 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
6227 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
6228 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
6229 below).
6230 [Geoff Thorpe]
6231
6232 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
6233 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
6234 [Richard Levitte]
6235
6236 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
6237 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
6238 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
6239 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
6240 [Geoff Thorpe]
6241
6242 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
6243 initialised value as BN_new().
6244 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
6245
6246 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
6247 [Steve Henson]
6248
6249 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
6250 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
6251 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
6252 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
6253 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
6254 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
6255 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
6256 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
6257 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
6258 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
6259 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
6260 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
6261 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
6262 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
6263 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
6264
6265 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
6266 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
6267 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
6268 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
6269 [Geoff Thorpe]
6270
6271 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
6272 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
6273 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
6274 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
6275 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
6276 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
6277 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
6278 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
6279 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
6280 [Geoff Thorpe]
6281
6282 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
6283 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
6284 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
6285 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
6286 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
6287 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
6288 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
6289 [Geoff Thorpe]
6290
6291 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
6292 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
6293 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
6294 these have been updated also.
6295 [Geoff Thorpe]
6296
6297 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
6298 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
6299 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
6300 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
6301 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
6302 functions.
6303 [Steve Henson]
6304
6305 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
6306 structure of type "other".
6307 [Steve Henson]
6308
6309 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
6310 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
6311 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
6312 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
6313 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
6314 situation in the script.
6315 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6316
6317 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
6318 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
6319 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
6320 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
6321 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
6322 used as premaster secret.
6323 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6324
6325 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
6326 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
6327 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6328
6329 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
6330 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
6331
6332 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
6333 control of the error stack.
6334 [Richard Levitte]
6335
6336 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
6337 [Richard Levitte]
6338
6339 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
6340 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
6341 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
6342 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
6343 [Richard Levitte]
6344
6345 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
6346 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
6347 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
6348 [Richard Levitte]
6349
6350 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
6351 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
6352 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
6353 a memory area.
6354 [Richard Levitte]
6355
6356 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
6357 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
6358 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
6359 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
6360 [Richard Levitte]
6361
6362 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
6363 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
6364 the following flags are defined:
6365
6366 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
6367 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
6368 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
6369 number.
6370
6371 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
6372 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
6373 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
6374 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
6375 returns zero.
6376 [Richard Levitte]
6377
6378 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
6379 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
6380 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
6381 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
6382 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
6383 [Richard Levitte]
6384
6385 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
6386 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
6387 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
6388 [Richard Levitte]
6389
6390 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6391 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6392 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6393 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6394 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6395 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6396 [Richard Levitte]
6397
6398 *) Generate multi-valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
6399 req and dirName.
6400 [Steve Henson]
6401
6402 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
6403 [Steve Henson]
6404
6405 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
6406 [Steve Henson]
6407
6408 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
6409 [Steve Henson]
6410
6411 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
6412 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
6413 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
6414 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
6415 default implementation more easily.
6416 [Geoff Thorpe]
6417
6418 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
6419 in config files.
6420 [Steve Henson]
6421
6422 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
6423 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
6424 [Richard Levitte]
6425
6426 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
6427 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
6428 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
6429 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
6430
6431 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
6432 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
6433 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
6434 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
6435 [Steve Henson]
6436
6437 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
6438 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
6439 to do it.
6440 [Richard Levitte]
6441
6442 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
6443 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
6444 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
6445 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
6446 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
6447 scalar * generator).
6448 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
6449
6450 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
6451 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
6452 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
6453 correctly.
6454 [Steve Henson]
6455
6456 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
6457 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
6458 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
6459 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
6460 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
6461 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
6462 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
6463 linker additions, eg;
6464 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
6465 [Geoff Thorpe]
6466
6467 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
6468 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
6469 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
6470 [Geoff Thorpe]
6471
6472 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6473 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6474 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
6475 via PR#459)
6476 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6477
6478 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
6479 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
6480 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
6481 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
6482 [Geoff Thorpe]
6483
6484 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
6485 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
6486 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
6487 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
6488 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
6489 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
6490 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
6491 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
6492 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
6493 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
6494
6495 Example for using the new callback interface:
6496
6497 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
6498 void *my_arg = ...;
6499 BN_GENCB my_cb;
6500
6501 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
6502
6503 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
6504 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
6505 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
6506 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
6507 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
6508 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
6509 */
6510
6511 [Geoff Thorpe]
6512
6513 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
6514 available to TLS with the number defined in
6515 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
6516 [Richard Levitte]
6517
6518 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
6519 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
6520
6521 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
6522 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
6523 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
6524 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
6525
6526 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
6527 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
6528
6529 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
6530 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
6531 well.
6532 [Richard Levitte]
6533
6534 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
6535 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
6536 [Richard Levitte]
6537
6538 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
6539 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
6540 and a macro that behave like
6541 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
6542
6543 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
6544 [Nils Larsch]
6545
6546 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
6547 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
6548 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
6549 if applicable.
6550 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6551
6552 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
6553 [Bodo Moeller]
6554
6555 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
6556 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
6557 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
6558 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
6559 directory engines/.
6560 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
6561 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
6562 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
6563 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
6564 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
6565 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
6566 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
6567 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
6568
6569 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
6570 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
6571 [Richard Levitte]
6572
6573 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
6574 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
6575
6576 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
6577 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
6578 files while avoiding the low level API.
6579
6580 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
6581 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
6582 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
6583 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
6584
6585 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
6586 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
6587 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
6588 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
6589 instead of the low level API.
6590 [Steve Henson]
6591
6592 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
6593 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
6594 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
6595 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
6596 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
6597 PKCS#7 code.
6598
6599 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
6600 down to the template encoder.
6601 [Steve Henson]
6602
6603 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
6604 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
6605 [Bodo Moeller]
6606
6607 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
6608 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
6609 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
6610 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6611
6612 *) Add ECDH engine support.
6613 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6614
6615 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
6616 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6617
6618 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
6619 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
6620 [Bodo Moeller]
6621
6622 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
6623 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
6624 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
6625 [Bodo Moeller]
6626
6627 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
6628 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
6629
6630 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6631 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6632
6633 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
6634 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
6635 New EC_METHOD:
6636
6637 EC_GF2m_simple_method
6638
6639 New API functions:
6640
6641 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
6642 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
6643 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
6644 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6645 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6646 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
6647
6648 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
6649 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
6650 enable it).
6651
6652 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
6653 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
6654 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
6655 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
6656 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
6657 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
6658 various internal method names.)
6659
6660 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
6661 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
6662
6663 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6664 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6665
6666 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
6667 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
6668
6669 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
6670 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
6671 methods are undefined.
6672
6673 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6674 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6675
6676 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
6677 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
6678 length of the modulus.
6679
6680 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6681 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6682
6683 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
6684 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
6685
6686 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6687 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6688
6689 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
6690 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
6691 used) in the following functions [macros]:
6692
6693 BN_GF2m_add
6694 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
6695 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
6696 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
6697 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
6698 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
6699 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
6700 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
6701 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
6702 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
6703
6704 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
6705 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
6706
6707 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
6708 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
6709 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
6710 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
6711 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
6712 where
6713 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
6714 This applies to the following functions:
6715
6716 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
6717 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
6718 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
6719 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
6720 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
6721 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
6722 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
6723 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
6724 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6725 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6726
6727 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
6728
6729 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6730 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6731
6732 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
6733
6734 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
6735 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
6736 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
6737 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
6738 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
6739
6740 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6741 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6742
6743 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
6744 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
6745 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
6746
6747 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
6748 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
6749
6750 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
6751 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
6752 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
6753 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
6754 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6755
6756 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
6757 functions
6758 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
6759 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
6760 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
6761 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
6762 These control ASN1 encoding details:
6763 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
6764 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
6765 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
6766 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
6767 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
6768 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
6769 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
6770
6771 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
6772 functions
6773 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
6774 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
6775 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
6776 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
6777 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6778
6779 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
6780 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
6781 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
6782 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6783
6784 *) Add functions
6785 EC_POINT_point2bn()
6786 EC_POINT_bn2point()
6787 EC_POINT_point2hex()
6788 EC_POINT_hex2point()
6789 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
6790 EC_POINT_oct2point().
6791 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6792
6793 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
6794 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
6795 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
6796 EC_GROUP_get_order()
6797 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
6798 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
6799 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
6800 adding different types of curves.
6801 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
6802
6803 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
6804 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
6805 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
6806 [Bodo Moeller]
6807
6808 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
6809 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
6810
6811 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
6812 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
6813 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
6814 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6815
6816 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
6817
6818 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
6819 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
6820
6821 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
6822 library. Most notably,
6823 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
6824 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
6825 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
6826 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
6827 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
6828 extracted before the specific public key;
6829 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
6830 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6831
6832 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
6833 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
6834 function
6835 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
6836 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
6837 EC_get_builtin_curves().
6838 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
6839 accessed via
6840 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
6841 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
6842 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
6843
6844 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6845 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6846 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6847 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6848 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6849 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6850 differing sizes.
6851 [Richard Levitte]
6852
6853 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
6854
6855 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
6856 sensitive data.
6857 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
6858
6859 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
6860 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
6861 authentication-only ciphersuites.
6862 [Bodo Moeller]
6863
6864 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
6865 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
6866 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
6867 [Victor Duchovni]
6868
6869 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
6870 [Steve Henson]
6871
6872 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
6873 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
6874 [Steve Henson]
6875
6876 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
6877 run algorithm test programs.
6878 [Steve Henson]
6879
6880 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
6881 [Steve Henson]
6882
6883 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
6884 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
6885 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
6886 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
6887 message has informed the client about his choice.)
6888 [Bodo Moeller]
6889
6890 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
6891 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
6892 [Steve Henson]
6893
6894 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
6895
6896 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
6897 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
6898 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6899
6900 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
6901 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
6902
6903 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
6904 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6905
6906 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
6907 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
6908 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6909
6910 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
6911 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
6912 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
6913 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
6914 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
6915 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
6916 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
6917 [Bodo Moeller]
6918
6919 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
6920
6921 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
6922 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
6923
6924 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
6925 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
6926 undesirable limitations.
6927 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6928
6929 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
6930
6931 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
6932 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
6933 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
6934
6935 The latter two were purportedly from
6936 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
6937 appear there.
6938
6939 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
6940 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
6941 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
6942 [Bodo Moeller]
6943
6944 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
6945 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
6946 [Bodo Moeller]
6947
6948 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
6949
6950 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
6951 module in FIPS mode.
6952 [Steve Henson]
6953
6954 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
6955 [Steve Henson]
6956
6957 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
6958 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
6959 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
6960 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
6961 [Steve Henson]
6962
6963 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
6964
6965 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
6966 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
6967 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
6968 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
6969 the difference induced by this change.
6970 [Andy Polyakov]
6971
6972 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
6973
6974 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
6975 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
6976 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
6977 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
6978 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
6979
6980 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
6981 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
6982 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
6983
6984 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
6985 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
6986 [Steve Henson]
6987
6988 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
6989 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
6990 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
6991 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
6992 biased k.)
6993 [Bodo Moeller]
6994
6995 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
6996 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
6997 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
6998 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
6999 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
7000
7001 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
7002 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
7003 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
7004 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
7005 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
7006 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
7007
7008 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
7009
7010 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
7011 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
7012 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
7013 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
7014 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
7015 [Bodo Moeller]
7016
7017 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
7018 clients need.
7019 [Steve Henson]
7020
7021 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
7022 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
7023 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
7024 [Steve Henson]
7025
7026 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
7027 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
7028 structures constant.
7029 [Steve Henson]
7030
7031 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
7032
7033 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
7034 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
7035
7036 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
7037 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
7038 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
7039 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
7040 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
7041 some needed definitions.
7042 [Steve Henson]
7043
7044 *) Undo Cygwin change.
7045 [Ulf Möller]
7046
7047 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
7048 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
7049 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
7050 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
7051 [Richard Levitte]
7052
7053 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
7054
7055 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
7056 server and client random values. Previously
7057 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
7058 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
7059
7060 This change has negligible security impact because:
7061
7062 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
7063 data.
7064
7065 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
7066 handshake.
7067
7068 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
7069 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
7070 values.
7071
7072 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
7073 to our attention.
7074
7075 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
7076
7077 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
7078 [Ulf Möller]
7079
7080 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
7081 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
7082 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
7083
7084 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
7085 [Steve Henson]
7086
7087 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
7088 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
7089 [Andy Polyakov]
7090
7091 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
7092 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
7093 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
7094
7095 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
7096 [Steve Henson]
7097
7098 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
7099 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
7100 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
7101 certificates.
7102 [Steve Henson]
7103
7104 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
7105 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
7106 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
7107 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
7108
7109 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
7110 has chosen to ignore this fault)
7111 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
7112 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
7113 been given)
7114 [Richard Levitte]
7115
7116 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
7117
7118 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
7119 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
7120 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
7121 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
7122 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
7123 [Steve Henson]
7124
7125 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
7126 [Steve Henson]
7127
7128 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
7129 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
7130
7131 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
7132 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
7133 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
7134 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
7135 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
7136 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
7137 rather than being initialized to 1.
7138 [Steve Henson]
7139
7140 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
7141
7142 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
7143 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
7144 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7145
7146 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
7147 (CVE-2004-0112)
7148 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7149
7150 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
7151 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
7152 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
7153 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
7154 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
7155 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
7156 [Richard Levitte]
7157
7158 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
7159 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
7160 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
7161 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
7162 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
7163 for these cases.
7164 [Steve Henson]
7165
7166 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
7167 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
7168 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
7169 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
7170 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
7171 [Steve Henson]
7172
7173 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
7174 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
7175 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
7176 < 0.9.7.
7177 [Steve Henson]
7178
7179 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
7180 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
7181
7182 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
7183 [Steve Henson]
7184
7185 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
7186
7187 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
7188
7189 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
7190 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
7191
7192 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
7193
7194 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
7195 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
7196
7197 [Steve Henson]
7198
7199 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
7200 exiting on the first error in a request.
7201 [Steve Henson]
7202
7203 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
7204 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
7205 specifications.
7206 [Steve Henson]
7207
7208 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
7209 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
7210 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
7211 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
7212
7213 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
7214 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
7215 [Richard Levitte]
7216
7217 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
7218 blocks during encryption.
7219 [Richard Levitte]
7220
7221 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
7222 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
7223 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
7224 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
7225 certain size.
7226 [Steve Henson]
7227
7228 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
7229 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
7230 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
7231 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
7232 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
7233 parser.
7234 [Steve Henson]
7235
7236 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
7237
7238 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
7239 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
7240 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
7241 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
7242 [Bodo Moeller]
7243
7244 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
7245 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
7246 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
7247 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
7248 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7249
7250 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
7251 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
7252 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
7253 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
7254 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
7255 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
7256 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
7257 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
7258 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
7259 [Bodo Moeller]
7260
7261 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
7262 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
7263 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
7264 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
7265 [Geoff Thorpe]
7266
7267 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
7268 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
7269 [Ulf Moeller]
7270
7271 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
7272
7273 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
7274 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
7275 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
7276 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
7277 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
7278
7279 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
7280 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
7281 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
7282
7283 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
7284 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
7285 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
7286 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
7287 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
7288
7289 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have its
7290 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
7291 used by default when no-err is given.
7292 [Richard Levitte]
7293
7294 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
7295 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
7296
7297 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
7298 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
7299 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
7300 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
7301 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
7302
7303 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
7304 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
7305 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
7306 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
7307
7308 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
7309
7310 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
7311
7312 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
7313
7314 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
7315 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
7316 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
7317 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
7318 root is omitted).
7319 [Steve Henson]
7320
7321 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
7322 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
7323
7324 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
7325 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
7326 [Steve Henson]
7327
7328 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
7329 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
7330 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
7331 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
7332 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7333
7334 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
7335 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
7336 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
7337 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
7338 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
7339 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
7340 followup to PR #377.
7341 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7342
7343 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
7344 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
7345 [Andy Polyakov]
7346
7347 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
7348 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
7349 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
7350 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
7351
7352 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
7353
7354 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
7355 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
7356
7357 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
7358 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
7359 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
7360 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
7361 client and server.
7362 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
7363 PR #377.
7364 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7365
7366 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
7367 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
7368 removed entirely.
7369 [Richard Levitte]
7370
7371 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
7372 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
7373 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
7374 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
7375 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
7376 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
7377 of libcrypto.
7378 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
7379 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
7380 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
7381 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
7382 have to be made anyway).
7383 [Richard Levitte]
7384
7385 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
7386 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
7387 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
7388 [Steve Henson]
7389
7390 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
7391 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
7392 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
7393 [Richard Levitte]
7394
7395 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
7396 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
7397 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
7398
7399 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
7400 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
7401 edit numbers of the version.
7402 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
7403
7404 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
7405 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
7406 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
7407
7408 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
7409 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7410
7411 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
7412 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
7413 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7414
7415 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
7416 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7417
7418 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
7419 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7420
7421 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
7422 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7423
7424 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
7425 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7426
7427 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
7428 overflows.
7429 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7430
7431 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
7432 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
7433 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7434
7435 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
7436 representations in a platform independent manner.
7437 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7438
7439 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
7440 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
7441 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7442
7443 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
7444 indents.
7445 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7446
7447 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
7448 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7449
7450 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
7451 full. Fixed.
7452 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7453
7454 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
7455 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
7456 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7457
7458 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
7459 unconditionally).
7460 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7461
7462 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
7463 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7464
7465 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
7466 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7467
7468 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
7469 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7470
7471 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
7472 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7473
7474 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
7475 CBCParameter.
7476 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7477
7478 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
7479 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7480
7481 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
7482 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7483
7484 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
7485 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
7486 exploitable.
7487 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7488
7489 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
7490 the 0.9.6 release series:
7491
7492 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
7493 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
7494 (CVE-2002-0657)
7495 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7496
7497 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
7498 [Richard Levitte]
7499
7500 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
7501 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
7502
7503 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
7504 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
7505
7506 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
7507 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
7508 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
7509 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
7510
7511 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
7512 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
7513 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
7514
7515 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
7516 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
7517 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
7518 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
7519
7520 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
7521 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
7522 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
7523 some local tweaks:
7524
7525 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
7526 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
7527 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
7528 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
7529 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
7530 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
7531 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
7532 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
7533 done
7534
7535 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
7536 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
7537 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
7538 [Richard Levitte]
7539
7540 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
7541 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
7542 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
7543 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
7544 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
7545
7546 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
7547 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
7548
7549 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
7550 error in AES-CFB decryption.
7551 [Richard Levitte]
7552
7553 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
7554 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
7555 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
7556 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
7557 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
7558 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
7559 [Steve Henson]
7560
7561 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
7562 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
7563 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
7564 [Steve Henson]
7565
7566 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
7567 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
7568 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7569
7570 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
7571 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
7572 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
7573 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
7574 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
7575 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
7576 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
7577 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7578
7579 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
7580 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
7581 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
7582 ENGINE is initialized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
7583 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
7584 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be initialized at all.
7585 [Steve Henson]
7586
7587 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
7588 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
7589 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
7590 declaration has been changed from
7591 int (*cb)()
7592 into
7593 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
7594 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
7595 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
7596 has been changed into
7597 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
7598
7599 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
7600 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
7601 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
7602
7603 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
7604 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
7605
7606 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
7607 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
7608 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
7609 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
7610 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
7611 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
7612 always load it have also been added.
7613 [Steve Henson]
7614
7615 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
7616 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
7617 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
7618
7619 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
7620
7621 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
7622 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
7623 because it couldn't be used for anything.
7624
7625 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
7626 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
7627 command line option can be used to specify an
7628 alternative file.
7629 [Steve Henson]
7630
7631 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
7632 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
7633 [Steve Henson]
7634
7635 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
7636 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
7637 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
7638 [Steve Henson]
7639
7640 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
7641 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
7642 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
7643 to work with the new engine framework.
7644 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
7645
7646 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
7647 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
7648 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
7649 to work with the new engine framework.
7650 [Richard Levitte]
7651
7652 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
7653 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
7654 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
7655
7656 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
7657 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
7658
7659 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
7660 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
7661 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
7662 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
7663 FORMAT_IISSGC.
7664 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7665
7666 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
7667 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7668
7669 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
7670 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
7671
7672 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
7673 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
7674 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
7675 [Ben Laurie]
7676
7677 *) Add new functions
7678 ERR_peek_last_error
7679 ERR_peek_last_error_line
7680 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
7681 These are similar to
7682 ERR_peek_error
7683 ERR_peek_error_line
7684 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
7685 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
7686 still in the error queue.
7687 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
7688
7689 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
7690 like:
7691 default_algorithms = ALL
7692 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
7693 [Steve Henson]
7694
7695 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
7696 [Steve Henson]
7697
7698 *) New experimental application configuration code.
7699 [Steve Henson]
7700
7701 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
7702 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
7703 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
7704 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
7705
7706 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
7707 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
7708
7709 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
7710 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7711
7712 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
7713 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
7714 [Bodo Moeller]
7715
7716 *) New functions/macros
7717
7718 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
7719 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
7720 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
7721 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
7722
7723 to request calling a callback function
7724
7725 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
7726 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
7727
7728 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
7729 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
7730 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
7731 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
7732 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
7733 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
7734 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
7735 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
7736 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
7737 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
7738
7739 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
7740 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
7741 [Bodo Moeller]
7742
7743 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
7744 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
7745 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
7746 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
7747 the configuration scripts.
7748
7749 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
7750 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
7751 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
7752
7753 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
7754 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
7755
7756 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
7757 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
7758 when reusing an existing buffer.
7759 [Bodo Moeller]
7760
7761 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
7762 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
7763 [Steve Henson]
7764
7765 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
7766 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
7767 [Ben Laurie]
7768
7769 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
7770 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
7771 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
7772 has the same effect.
7773 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7774
7775 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
7776 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
7777 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
7778 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
7779 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
7780 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
7781 exception.
7782
7783 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
7784 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
7785 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
7786 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
7787
7788 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
7789 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
7790 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
7791 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
7792
7793 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
7794 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
7795 won't work.
7796
7797 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
7798 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
7799 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
7800 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
7801 default), and then completely removed.
7802 [Richard Levitte]
7803
7804 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
7805 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
7806 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
7807 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
7808 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
7809 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
7810 particular extension is supported.
7811 [Steve Henson]
7812
7813 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
7814 to retain compatibility with existing code.
7815 [Steve Henson]
7816
7817 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
7818 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
7819 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
7820 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
7821 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
7822 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
7823 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
7824 requires the destination to be valid.
7825
7826 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
7827 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
7828 [Steve Henson]
7829
7830 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
7831 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
7832 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
7833 [Bodo Moeller]
7834
7835 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
7836 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
7837
7838 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
7839 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
7840 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
7841 of specific crypto interfaces. This change also introduces integrated
7842 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
7843 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
7844 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
7845 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
7846 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
7847 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
7848 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
7849 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
7850 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
7851 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
7852 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
7853 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
7854 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
7855 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
7856 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
7857 the new code.
7858 [Geoff Thorpe]
7859
7860 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
7861 [Steve Henson]
7862
7863 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
7864 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
7865 become part of libeay.num as well.
7866 [Richard Levitte]
7867
7868 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
7869 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
7870 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
7871 false once a handshake has been completed.
7872 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
7873 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
7874 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
7875 client has followed the request.)
7876 [Bodo Moeller]
7877
7878 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
7879 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
7880 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
7881 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
7882
7883 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
7884 more bits available for options that should not be part of
7885 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
7886 [Bodo Moeller]
7887
7888 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
7889 [Steve Henson]
7890
7891 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
7892 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
7893 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
7894 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7895
7896 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
7897 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
7898 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7899
7900 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
7901 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
7902 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
7903 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
7904 [Geoff Thorpe]
7905
7906 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
7907 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
7908 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
7909 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
7910 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
7911 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
7912 [Geoff Thorpe]
7913
7914 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
7915 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
7916 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
7917 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
7918 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
7919 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
7920 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
7921 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
7922 [Geoff Thorpe]
7923
7924 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
7925 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
7926 [Geoff Thorpe]
7927
7928 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
7929 [Ben Laurie]
7930
7931 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
7932 md_data void pointer.
7933 [Ben Laurie]
7934
7935 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
7936 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
7937 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
7938 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
7939 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
7940 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
7941 [Ben Laurie]
7942
7943 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
7944 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
7945 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
7946 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
7947 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
7948 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
7949 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
7950 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
7951 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
7952 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
7953 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
7954 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
7955 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
7956 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
7957 rather than letting it slide.
7958
7959 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
7960 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
7961 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
7962 [Geoff Thorpe]
7963
7964 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
7965 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
7966 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
7967 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
7968 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
7969 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
7970 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
7971 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
7972 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
7973 [Geoff Thorpe]
7974
7975 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
7976 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
7977 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
7978 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
7979 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
7980
7981 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
7982 [Geoff Thorpe]
7983
7984 *) Add EVP test program.
7985 [Ben Laurie]
7986
7987 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
7988 [Ben Laurie]
7989
7990 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
7991 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
7992 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
7993 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
7994 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
7995 [Steve Henson]
7996
7997 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
7998 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
7999 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
8000 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
8001 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
8002 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
8003 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
8004
8005 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
8006 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
8007 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
8008 Usage example:
8009
8010 EVP_MD_CTX md;
8011
8012 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
8013 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
8014 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
8015 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
8016 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
8017
8018 [Ben Laurie]
8019
8020 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
8021 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
8022 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
8023 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
8024 anyway): E.g.,
8025
8026 des_key_schedule ks;
8027
8028 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
8029 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
8030
8031 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
8032 [Ben Laurie]
8033
8034 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
8035 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
8036 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
8037 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
8038 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
8039 functions prevents this.
8040 [Steve Henson]
8041
8042 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
8043 [Ben Laurie]
8044
8045 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
8046 correct _ecb suffix.
8047 [Ben Laurie]
8048
8049 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
8050 revocation information is handled using the text based index
8051 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
8052 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
8053 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
8054 [Steve Henson]
8055
8056 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
8057 [Richard Levitte]
8058
8059 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
8060 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
8061 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
8062 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
8063
8064 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
8065 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
8066
8067 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
8068 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
8069 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
8070 via Richard Levitte]
8071
8072 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
8073 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
8074 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
8075 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
8076 [Geoff Thorpe]
8077
8078 *) Speed up EVP routines.
8079 Before:
8080 encrypt
8081 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
8082 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

8094 [Ben Laurie]
8095
8096 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
8097 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
8098
8099 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
8100 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
8101 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
8102 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
8103 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
8104 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
8105 [Steve Henson]
8106
8107 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
8108 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
8109 [Richard Levitte]
8110
8111 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
8112 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
8113 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
8114 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
8115
8116 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
8117 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
8118 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
8119 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
8120 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
8121 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
8122 callback.
8123 [Richard Levitte]
8124
8125 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
8126 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
8127 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
8128 and interrupts/cancellations.
8129 [Richard Levitte]
8130
8131 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
8132 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
8133 [Steve Henson]
8134
8135 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
8136 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
8137 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
8138
8139 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
8140 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
8141 kind of callback.
8142 [Richard Levitte]
8143
8144 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
8145 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
8146 than this minimum value is recommended.
8147 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8148
8149 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
8150 that are easily reachable.
8151 [Richard Levitte]
8152
8153 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
8154 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
8155
8156 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
8157
8158 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
8159 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
8160 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
8161 needed for static libraries under Win32.
8162 [Steve Henson]
8163
8164 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
8165 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
8166 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
8167 [Steve Henson]
8168
8169 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
8170 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
8171 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
8172 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
8173 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
8174 internally such as S/MIME.
8175
8176 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
8177 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
8178 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
8179
8180 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
8181 applications.
8182 [Steve Henson]
8183
8184 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
8185 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
8186 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
8187 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
8188
8189 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
8190
8191 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
8192
8193 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
8194 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
8195 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
8196 handling.
8197 [Steve Henson]
8198
8199 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
8200 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
8201 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
8202 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
8203 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
8204 a window system and the like.
8205 [Richard Levitte]
8206
8207 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
8208 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
8209 [Geoff]
8210
8211 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
8212 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
8213 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
8214 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
8215 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
8216 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
8217 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
8218 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
8219 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
8220 ENGINE structure.
8221 [Geoff]
8222
8223 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
8224 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
8225 tag cache.
8226 [Steve Henson]
8227
8228 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
8229 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
8230 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
8231 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
8232 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
8233 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
8234 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
8235 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
8236 [Geoff]
8237
8238 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
8239 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
8240 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
8241 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
8242 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
8243 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
8244 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
8245 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
8246 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
8247 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
8248 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
8249 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
8250 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
8251 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
8252 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
8253 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
8254 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
8255 [Geoff]
8256
8257 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
8258 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
8259 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
8260 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
8261 internal engine_int.h header.
8262 [Geoff]
8263
8264 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
8265 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
8266 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
8267 modify their own ones).
8268 [Geoff]
8269
8270 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
8271 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
8272 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
8273 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
8274 later on via ctrl() commands.
8275 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
8276 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
8277 structural references.
8278 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
8279 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
8280 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
8281 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
8282 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
8283 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
8284 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
8285 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
8286 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
8287 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
8288 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
8289 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
8290 [Geoff]
8291
8292 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
8293 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
8294 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
8295 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
8296 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
8297 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
8298 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
8299 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
8300 [Bodo Moeller]
8301
8302 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
8303 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
8304 [Steve Henson]
8305
8306 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
8307 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
8308 [Steve Henson]
8309
8310 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
8311 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
8312 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
8313 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
8314 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
8315 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
8316 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
8317 [Steve Henson]
8318
8319 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
8320 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
8321 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
8322 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
8323 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
8324
8325 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
8326 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
8327 generator).
8328 [Bodo Moeller]
8329
8330 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
8331
8332 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
8333 operations and provides various method functions that can also
8334 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
8335
8336 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
8337 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
8338
8339 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
8340 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
8341 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
8342
8343 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
8344 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
8345
8346 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
8347 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
8348
8349 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
8350
8351 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
8352 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
8353 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
8354 [Bodo Moeller]
8355
8356 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
8357 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
8358 [Richard Levitte]
8359
8360 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
8361 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
8362 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
8363 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
8364 is 40 of more characters long.
8365 [Steve Henson]
8366
8367 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
8368 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
8369 pointers.
8370 [Steve Henson]
8371
8372 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
8373 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
8374 [Bodo Moeller]
8375
8376 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
8377 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
8378 might.
8379 [Steve Henson]
8380
8381 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
8382
8383 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
8384 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
8385
8386 ASN1 error codes
8387 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
8388 ...
8389 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
8390 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
8391 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
8392 ...
8393 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
8394 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
8395
8396 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
8397 [Bodo Moeller]
8398
8399 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
8400 suffices.
8401 [Bodo Moeller]
8402
8403 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
8404 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
8405 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
8406 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
8407 and
8408 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
8409
8410 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
8411 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
8412
8413 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
8414 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
8415 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
8416 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
8417 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
8418 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
8419
8420 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
8421 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
8422
8423 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
8424 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
8425
8426 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
8427 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
8428
8429 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
8430 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
8431 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
8432 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
8433
8434 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
8435 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
8436
8437 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
8438 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
8439
8440 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
8441 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
8442 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
8443 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
8444 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
8445 [Richard Levitte]
8446
8447 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
8448 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
8449 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
8450 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
8451 [Steve Henson]
8452
8453 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
8454 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
8455 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
8456 trust settings.
8457 [Steve Henson]
8458
8459 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
8460 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
8461 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
8462 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
8463 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
8464 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
8465 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
8466 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
8467 ocsp utility.
8468 [Steve Henson]
8469
8470 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
8471 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
8472 [Steve Henson]
8473
8474 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
8475 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
8476 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
8477 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
8478 [Steve Henson]
8479
8480 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
8481 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
8482 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
8483 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
8484 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
8485 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
8486 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
8487 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
8488 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
8489 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
8490 [Steve Henson]
8491
8492 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
8493 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
8494 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
8495 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
8496 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
8497 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
8498 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
8499 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8500
8501 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
8502 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
8503 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
8504 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
8505 [Richard Levitte]
8506
8507 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
8508 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
8509 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
8510 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
8511 opensslconf.h.
8512 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
8513 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
8514 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
8515 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
8516 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
8517 what is available.
8518 [Richard Levitte]
8519
8520 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
8521 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
8522 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
8523 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
8524 auto incremented.
8525 [Steve Henson]
8526
8527 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
8528 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
8529 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
8530 [Steve Henson]
8531
8532 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
8533 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
8534 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
8535 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
8536 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
8537 [Steve Henson]
8538
8539 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
8540 [Steve Henson]
8541
8542 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
8543 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
8544 option to ocsp utility.
8545 [Steve Henson]
8546
8547 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
8548 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
8549 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
8550 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
8551 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
8552 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
8553 the request is nonce-less.
8554 [Steve Henson]
8555
8556 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
8557 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
8558 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
8559 [Bodo Moeller]
8560
8561 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
8562 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
8563 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
8564 [Steve Henson]
8565
8566 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
8567 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
8568 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
8569 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
8570 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
8571 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8572
8573 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
8574 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
8575 appear to exist.
8576 [Steve Henson]
8577
8578 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
8579 additional certificates supplied.
8580 [Steve Henson]
8581
8582 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
8583 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
8584 signature against.
8585 [Richard Levitte]
8586
8587 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
8588 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
8589 AES OIDs.
8590
8591 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
8592 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
8593 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
8594 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
8595 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
8596 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
8597 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
8598 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
8599 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
8600
8601 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
8602 request to response.
8603 [Steve Henson]
8604
8605 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
8606 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
8607 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
8608 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
8609 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
8610 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
8611 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
8612 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
8613 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
8614 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
8615 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
8616 [Steve Henson]
8617
8618 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
8619 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
8620 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
8621 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
8622 [Steve Henson]
8623
8624 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
8625 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8626
8627 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
8628 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
8629 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
8630 [Steve Henson]
8631
8632 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
8633 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
8634 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
8635 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8636 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8637
8638 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
8639 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
8640 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
8641 [Steve Henson]
8642
8643 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
8644 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
8645 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
8646 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
8647 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
8648 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
8649 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8650 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8651
8652 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
8653 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
8654 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
8655 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
8656 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
8657 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
8658 [Steve Henson]
8659
8660 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
8661 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
8662 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
8663 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
8664 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
8665 printout format cleaned up.
8666 [Steve Henson]
8667
8668 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
8669 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
8670 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
8671 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
8672 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
8673 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
8674 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
8675 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
8676 [Steve Henson]
8677
8678 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
8679 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
8680 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
8681 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
8682 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
8683 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
8684 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
8685 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
8686 [Steve Henson]
8687
8688 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
8689 extensions from a separate configuration file.
8690 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
8691 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
8692 section to use.
8693 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8694
8695 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
8696 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
8697 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
8698 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
8699 [Steve Henson]
8700
8701 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
8702 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
8703 the given serial number (according to the index file).
8704 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
8705 in the index file.
8706 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8707
8708 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
8709 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
8710 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
8711 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8712
8713 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
8714 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
8715
8716 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
8717 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
8718 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
8719 [Steve Henson]
8720
8721 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
8722 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
8723 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
8724 [Bodo Moeller]
8725
8726 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
8727 file name and line number information in additional arguments
8728 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
8729 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
8730 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
8731 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
8732 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
8733 functions are provided:
8734
8735 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
8736 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
8737 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
8738 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
8739
8740 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
8741 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
8742 extended allocation function is enabled.
8743 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
8744 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
8745 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
8746
8747 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
8748 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
8749 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
8750 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
8751 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
8752 [Geoff Thorpe]
8753
8754 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
8755 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
8756 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
8757 be queried.
8758 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
8759 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
8760 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
8761 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8762
8763 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
8764 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
8765 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
8766 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
8767 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
8768 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
8769 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
8770 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
8771 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
8772 [Richard Levitte]
8773
8774 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
8775 provide utility functions which an application needing
8776 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
8777 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
8778 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
8779
8780 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
8781 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
8782 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
8783 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
8784 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
8785 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
8786 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
8787 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
8788 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
8789
8790 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
8791 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
8792 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
8793 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
8794 [Steve Henson]
8795
8796 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
8797 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
8798 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
8799 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
8800 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
8801 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
8802 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
8803 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
8804 will be added elsewhere.
8805 [Steve Henson]
8806
8807 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
8808 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
8809 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
8810 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
8811 [Steve Henson]
8812
8813 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
8814 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
8815 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
8816 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
8817 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
8818 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
8819 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
8820 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
8821 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
8822 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
8823 to produce the required SET OF.
8824 [Steve Henson]
8825
8826 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
8827 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
8828 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
8829 [Richard Levitte]
8830
8831 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
8832 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
8833 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
8834 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
8835 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
8836 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
8837 [Steve Henson]
8838
8839 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
8840 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
8841 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
8842 [Steve Henson]
8843
8844 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
8845 lines, recognize more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
8846 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
8847 [Richard Levitte]
8848
8849 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
8850 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
8851 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
8852 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
8853 code will still work when these eventually go away.
8854 [Steve Henson]
8855
8856 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
8857 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
8858 [Steve Henson]
8859
8860 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
8861 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
8862 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
8863 certificates and CRLs.
8864 [Steve Henson]
8865
8866 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
8867 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
8868 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
8869 [Steve Henson]
8870
8871 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
8872 entries for variables.
8873 [Steve Henson]
8874
8875 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
8876 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
8877 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
8878 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
8879 [Bodo Moeller]
8880
8881 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
8882 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
8883 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
8884 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
8885 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
8886 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
8887 [Bodo Moeller]
8888
8889 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
8890 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
8891
8892 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
8893 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
8894 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
8895 [Steve Henson]
8896
8897 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
8898 print routines.
8899 [Steve Henson]
8900
8901 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
8902 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
8903 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
8904 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
8905 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
8906 order did not reflect the encoded order.
8907 [Steve Henson]
8908
8909 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
8910 [Steve Henson]
8911
8912 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
8913 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
8914 for now but they will eventually go away.
8915 [Steve Henson]
8916
8917 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
8918 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
8919 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
8920 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
8921 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
8922 has also been converted to the new form.
8923 [Steve Henson]
8924
8925 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
8926 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
8927 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
8928 for negative moduli.
8929 [Bodo Moeller]
8930
8931 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
8932 of not touching the result's sign bit.
8933 [Bodo Moeller]
8934
8935 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
8936 set.
8937 [Bodo Moeller]
8938
8939 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
8940 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
8941 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
8942 type-specific callbacks.
8943 [Geoff Thorpe]
8944
8945 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
8946 RFC 2712.
8947 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
8948 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
8949
8950 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
8951 in sections depending on the subject.
8952 [Richard Levitte]
8953
8954 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
8955 Windows.
8956 [Richard Levitte]
8957
8958 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
8959 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
8960 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
8961 be handled deterministically).
8962 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8963
8964 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
8965 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
8966 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
8967 [Bodo Moeller]
8968
8969 *) New function BN_kronecker.
8970 [Bodo Moeller]
8971
8972 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
8973 positive unless both parameters are zero.
8974 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
8975 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
8976 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
8977 [Bodo Moeller]
8978
8979 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
8980 sign of the number in question.
8981
8982 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
8983
8984 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
8985 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
8986 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
8987 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
8988 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
8989 [Bodo Moeller]
8990
8991 *) New function BN_swap.
8992 [Bodo Moeller]
8993
8994 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
8995 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
8996 results on negative inputs.
8997 [Bodo Moeller]
8998
8999 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
9000 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
9001 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
9002 [Bodo Moeller]
9003
9004 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
9005 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
9006 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
9007 and add new functions:
9008
9009 BN_nnmod
9010 BN_mod_sqr
9011 BN_mod_add
9012 BN_mod_add_quick
9013 BN_mod_sub
9014 BN_mod_sub_quick
9015 BN_mod_lshift1
9016 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
9017 BN_mod_lshift
9018 BN_mod_lshift_quick
9019
9020 These functions always generate non-negative results.
9021
9022 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
9023 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
9024
9025 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
9026 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
9027 be reduced modulo m.
9028 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
9029
9030 #if 0
9031 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
9032 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
9033 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
9034
9035 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
9036 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
9037 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
9038 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
9039 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
9040 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
9041 differing sizes.
9042 [Richard Levitte]
9043 #endif
9044
9045 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
9046 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
9047 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
9048 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
9049 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
9050
9051 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
9052 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
9053 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
9054 cause any problems.
9055 [Bodo Moeller]
9056
9057 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
9058 [Richard Levitte]
9059
9060 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
9061 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
9062 [Richard Levitte]
9063
9064 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
9065 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
9066 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
9067 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
9068 time)
9069 [Richard Levitte]
9070
9071 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
9072 [Richard Levitte]
9073
9074 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
9075 [Richard Levitte]
9076
9077 *) Add the following functions:
9078
9079 ENGINE_load_cswift()
9080 ENGINE_load_chil()
9081 ENGINE_load_atalla()
9082 ENGINE_load_nuron()
9083 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
9084
9085 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
9086 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
9087 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
9088 libraries unless it's really needed.
9089
9090 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
9091 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
9092 declarations (they differed!).
9093 [Richard Levitte]
9094
9095 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
9096 [Richard Levitte]
9097
9098 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
9099 [Richard Levitte]
9100
9101 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
9102 [Bodo Moeller]
9103
9104 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
9105 identity, and test if they are actually available.
9106 [Richard Levitte]
9107
9108 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
9109 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
9110 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
9111
9112 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
9113 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
9114 [Richard Levitte]
9115
9116 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
9117 [Richard Levitte]
9118
9119 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
9120 [Richard Levitte]
9121
9122 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
9123 [Ben Laurie]
9124
9125 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
9126 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
9127 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
9128
9129 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
9130 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
9131 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
9132 different shared library filenames on each system.
9133 [Geoff Thorpe]
9134
9135 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
9136 [Richard Levitte]
9137
9138 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
9139 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
9140 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
9141 of two sections.
9142 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
9143
9144 *) NCONF changes.
9145 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
9146 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
9147 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
9148 binary backward compatibility.
9149 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
9150 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
9151 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
9152 LDAP server.
9153 [Richard Levitte]
9154
9155 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
9156 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
9157 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
9158 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
9159 this case.
9160 [Steve Henson]
9161
9162 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
9163 [Ben Laurie]
9164
9165 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
9166 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
9167 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
9168 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
9169 set.
9170 [Steve Henson]
9171
9172 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
9173 [Richard Levitte]
9174
9175 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
9176
9177 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
9178 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
9179 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
9180
9181 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
9182
9183 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
9184
9185 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
9186 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
9187 [Steve Henson]
9188
9189 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
9190
9191 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
9192
9193 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
9194 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
9195
9196 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
9197 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
9198
9199 [Steve Henson]
9200
9201 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
9202 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
9203 specifications.
9204 [Steve Henson]
9205
9206 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
9207 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
9208 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
9209 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
9210
9211 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
9212 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
9213 [Richard Levitte]
9214
9215 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
9216
9217 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
9218 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
9219 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
9220 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
9221 [Bodo Moeller]
9222
9223 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
9224 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
9225 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
9226 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
9227 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
9228
9229 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
9230 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
9231 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
9232 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
9233 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
9234 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
9235 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
9236 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
9237 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
9238 [Bodo Moeller]
9239
9240 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
9241
9242 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
9243 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
9244 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
9245 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
9246 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
9247
9248 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
9249 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
9250 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
9251
9252 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
9253
9254 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
9255 memory from its contents. This is done with a counter that will
9256 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
9257 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
9258 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
9259 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
9260 [Geoff Thorpe]
9261
9262 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
9263 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
9264 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
9265 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
9266 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
9267 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9268
9269 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
9270 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
9271 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
9272
9273 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
9274 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
9275 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
9276 EVP_cleanup().
9277 [Richard Levitte]
9278
9279 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
9280 being properly terminated.
9281 [Richard Levitte]
9282
9283 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
9284 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
9285 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
9286 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
9287
9288 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
9289 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
9290 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
9291 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
9292 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
9293 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
9294 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
9295 change.
9296 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
9297
9298 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
9299 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
9300 [Bodo Moeller]
9301
9302 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
9303 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
9304 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
9305 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
9306 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
9307 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
9308 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
9309 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
9310
9311 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
9312 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
9313 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
9314 (see [openssl.org #212]).
9315 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
9316
9317 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
9318 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
9319 [Steve Henson]
9320
9321 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
9322
9323 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
9324 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
9325 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
9326
9327 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
9328
9329 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
9330 and get fix the header length calculation.
9331 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
9332 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
9333 Steve Henson]
9334
9335 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
9336 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
9337 assertions could call abort()).
9338 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
9339
9340 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
9341
9342 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
9343 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
9344 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
9345 supplied buffer.
9346 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
9347
9348 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
9349 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
9350 by the selection routines (PR #130).
9351 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9352
9353 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
9354 [Nils Larsch]
9355
9356 *) New option
9357 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
9358 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
9359 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
9360
9361 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
9362 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
9363 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
9364 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
9365 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
9366 applications.
9367 [Bodo Moeller]
9368
9369 *) Changes in security patch:
9370
9371 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
9372 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
9373 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
9374 F30602-01-2-0537.
9375
9376 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
9377 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
9378 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
9379 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
9380 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
9381
9382 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
9383 happen in practice.
9384 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9385
9386 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
9387 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
9388 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
9389
9390 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
9391 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
9392 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9393
9394 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
9395 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
9396 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9397
9398 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
9399
9400 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
9401 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
9402 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
9403
9404 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
9405 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
9406
9407 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
9408 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
9409 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
9410 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
9411 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
9412 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
9413 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9414
9415 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
9416 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
9417 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
9418 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
9419 [Bodo Moeller]
9420
9421 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
9422 [Bodo Moeller]
9423
9424 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
9425 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
9426 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
9427 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
9428 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
9429 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9430
9431 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
9432 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
9433 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
9434 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
9435 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
9436 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9437
9438 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
9439 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
9440 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
9441 BN_generate_prime().)
9442
9443 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
9444 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
9445 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
9446 better.
9447 [Bodo Moeller]
9448
9449 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
9450 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
9451 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9452
9453 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
9454 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
9455 when using non-blocking I/O.
9456 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
9457
9458 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
9459 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
9460
9461 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
9462 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
9463 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9464
9465 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
9466 configuration for the versions before that.
9467 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
9468
9469 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
9470 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
9471 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
9472 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
9473 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9474
9475 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
9476 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
9477 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
9478 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9479
9480 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
9481 value is 0.
9482 [Richard Levitte]
9483
9484 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
9485 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
9486 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
9487
9488 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
9489 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
9490
9491 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
9492 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
9493 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
9494 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
9495 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
9496 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
9497 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
9498 session cache.
9499
9500 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
9501 using a local variable.
9502 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
9503
9504 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
9505 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
9506 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
9507
9508 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
9509 [Richard Levitte]
9510
9511 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
9512 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
9513
9514 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
9515 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
9516 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
9517
9518 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
9519
9520 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
9521 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
9522 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
9523 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
9524 [Bodo Moeller]
9525
9526 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
9527 present.
9528 [Steve Henson]
9529
9530 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
9531 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
9532 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
9533 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
9534 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
9535
9536 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
9537 returns early because it has nothing to do.
9538 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9539
9540 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9541 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
9542 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9543
9544 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9545 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
9546 (Use engine 'keyclient')
9547 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
9548
9549 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
9550 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
9551 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
9552 modules).
9553 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
9554
9555 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9556 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
9557 from 0.9.7.
9558 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
9559
9560 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9561 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
9562 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
9563 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
9564
9565 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9566 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
9567 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
9568 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
9569
9570 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
9571 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
9572
9573 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
9574 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
9575 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
9576 [Bodo Moeller]
9577
9578 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
9579 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
9580 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
9581 become invalid.
9582 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
9583
9584 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
9585 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
9586 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
9587 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
9588 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
9589 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
9590 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
9591 [Bodo Moeller]
9592
9593 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
9594 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
9595 one of the SSL handshake functions.
9596 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
9597
9598 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
9599 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
9600 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
9601 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
9602 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
9603 the client will at least see that alert.
9604 [Bodo Moeller]
9605
9606 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
9607 correctly.
9608 [Bodo Moeller]
9609
9610 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
9611 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
9612 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9613
9614 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
9615 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
9616 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
9617 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
9618 HelloRequest.
9619
9620 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
9621 before just sending a HelloRequest.
9622 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
9623
9624 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
9625 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
9626 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
9627 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
9628 may leak via logfiles.)
9629
9630 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
9631 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
9632 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
9633 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
9634 the legal range.
9635 [Bodo Moeller]
9636
9637 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
9638 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
9639 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9640
9641 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
9642 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
9643 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
9644 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
9645 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
9646 [Bodo Moeller]
9647
9648 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
9649 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
9650
9651 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
9652 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
9653 followed by modular reduction.
9654 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
9655
9656 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
9657 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
9658 [Bodo Moeller]
9659
9660 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
9661 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
9662 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
9663 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
9664 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9665
9666 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
9667 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9668
9669 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
9670 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
9671 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9672
9673 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
9674 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
9675 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
9676 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
9677 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
9678 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
9679 automatically.
9680 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
9681
9682 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
9683 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
9684 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
9685 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
9686 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
9687
9688 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
9689 [Andy Polyakov]
9690
9691 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
9692 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
9693 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
9694 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
9695 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
9696 to allow the necessary settings.
9697 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9698
9699 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
9700 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
9701 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
9702 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
9703 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9704
9705 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
9706 dh->length and always used
9707
9708 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
9709
9710 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
9711 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
9712 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
9713 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
9714 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
9715 dh->length.
9716
9717 So switch back to
9718
9719 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
9720
9721 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
9722 otherwise.
9723 [Bodo Moeller]
9724
9725 *) In
9726
9727 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
9728 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
9729 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
9730 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
9731
9732 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
9733 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
9734 always reject numbers >= n.
9735 [Bodo Moeller]
9736
9737 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
9738 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
9739 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
9740 variable) is not atomic.
9741 [Bodo Moeller]
9742
9743 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
9744 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
9745 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
9746 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
9747
9748 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
9749 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
9750
9751 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
9752 little-endian MIPS.
9753 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
9754
9755 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
9756 [Richard Levitte]
9757
9758 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
9759
9760 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
9761 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
9762 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
9763 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
9764 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
9765 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
9766 to traverse all of 'state'.
9767
9768 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
9769 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
9770 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
9771
9772 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
9773 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
9774
9775 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
9776 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
9777 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
9778 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
9779 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
9780 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
9781 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
9782 further strengthens the PRNG.
9783 [Bodo Moeller]
9784
9785 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
9786 [Andy Polyakov]
9787
9788 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
9789 an error message in this case.
9790 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9791
9792 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
9793 [Steve Henson]
9794
9795 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
9796 positive and less than q.
9797 [Bodo Moeller]
9798
9799 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
9800 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
9801 that itself.
9802 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
9803
9804 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
9805 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
9806 [Bodo Moeller]
9807
9808 *) Fix OAEP check.
9809 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9810
9811 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
9812 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
9813 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
9814 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
9815 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
9816 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
9817 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
9818 paper.)
9819
9820 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
9821 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
9822 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
9823 detect the supposedly ignored error.
9824
9825 Both problems are now fixed.
9826 [Bodo Moeller]
9827
9828 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
9829 (previously it was 1024).
9830 [Bodo Moeller]
9831
9832 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
9833 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
9834 [Steve Henson]
9835
9836 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
9837 [Steve Henson]
9838
9839 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
9840 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
9841 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
9842 [Steve Henson]
9843
9844 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
9845 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
9846 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
9847 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
9848 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
9849 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
9850 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
9851 environment variables.
9852
9853 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
9854 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
9855 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
9856 [Bodo Moeller]
9857
9858 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
9859 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
9860 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
9861 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
9862 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
9863 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
9864 [Bodo Moeller]
9865
9866 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
9867 versions of 'test'.
9868 [Bodo Moeller]
9869
9870 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
9871
9872 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
9873 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
9874
9875 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
9876 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
9877 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
9878 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
9879 CygWin.
9880 [Richard Levitte]
9881
9882 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
9883 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
9884 amount of data available.
9885 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
9886 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9887
9888 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
9889 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
9890 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
9891 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
9892 [Bodo Moeller]
9893
9894 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
9895 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
9896 and UnixWare.
9897 [Richard Levitte]
9898
9899 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
9900 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
9901 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
9902 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
9903 [Ulf Moeller]
9904
9905 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
9906 [Andy Polyakov]
9907
9908 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
9909 [Richard Levitte]
9910
9911 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
9912 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
9913 [Steve Henson]
9914 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9915
9916 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
9917 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
9918 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
9919 (but broken) behaviour.
9920 [Steve Henson]
9921
9922 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
9923 it when found.
9924 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
9925
9926 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
9927 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
9928 [Bodo Moeller]
9929
9930 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
9931 did not exist.
9932 [Bodo Moeller]
9933
9934 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
9935 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
9936
9937 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
9938 [Richard Levitte]
9939
9940 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
9941 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
9942 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
9943
9944 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
9945 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
9946 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
9947 [Steve Henson]
9948
9949 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
9950 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
9951 [Ulf Moeller]
9952
9953 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
9954 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
9955
9956 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
9957
9958 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
9959
9960 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
9961 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
9962 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
9963 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
9964 [Bodo Moeller]
9965
9966 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
9967 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9968
9969 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
9970 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
9971 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9972
9973 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
9974 was empty.
9975 [Steve Henson]
9976 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9977
9978 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
9979 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
9980 but the code is actually correct.
9981 [Steve Henson]
9982
9983 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
9984 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
9985 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
9986 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
9987 and leaves the highest bit random.
9988 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9989
9990 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
9991 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
9992 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
9993 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
9994 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
9995 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
9996 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
9997 [Bodo Moeller]
9998
9999 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
10000 [Ulf Moeller]
10001
10002 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
10003 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
10004 [Steve Henson]
10005
10006 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
10007 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
10008 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
10009 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
10010 headers.
10011 [Richard Levitte]
10012
10013 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
10014 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
10015 and break the signature.
10016 [Steve Henson]
10017 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
10018
10019 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
10020 DH ciphersuites.
10021 [Steve Henson]
10022
10023 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
10024 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
10025 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
10026 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
10027 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
10028 [Bodo Moeller]
10029
10030 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
10031 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
10032
10033 *) ./config script fixes.
10034 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
10035
10036 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
10037 [Bodo Moeller]
10038
10039 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
10040 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
10041 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
10042 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
10043 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
10044
10045 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
10046 call failed, free the DSA structure.
10047 [Bodo Moeller]
10048
10049 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
10050 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
10051 [Steve Henson]
10052
10053 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
10054 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
10055 when writing a 32767 byte record.
10056 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
10057
10058 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
10059 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
10060
10061 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
10062 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
10063 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
10064 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
10065 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
10066
10067 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
10068 [Bodo Moeller]
10069
10070 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
10071 [Ulf Möller]
10072
10073 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
10074 [Ulf Möller]
10075
10076 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
10077 [Bodo Moeller]
10078
10079 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
10080 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
10081 [Bodo Moeller]
10082
10083 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
10084 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
10085 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
10086 result of the server certificate verification.)
10087 [Lutz Jaenicke]
10088
10089 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
10090 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
10091 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
10092 [Bodo Moeller]
10093
10094 *) Fix SSL_peek:
10095 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
10096 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
10097 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
10098 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
10099 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
10100 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
10101 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
10102 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
10103 [Bodo Moeller]
10104
10105 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
10106 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
10107 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
10108 happening the other way round.
10109 [Geoff Thorpe]
10110
10111 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
10112 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
10113 [Bodo Moeller]
10114
10115 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
10116 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
10117 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
10118 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
10119 [Richard Levitte]
10120
10121 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
10122 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
10123
10124 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
10125
10126 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
10127 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
10128 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
10129 that.
10130
10131 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
10132
10133 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
10134
10135 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
10136 static ones.
10137 [Richard Levitte]
10138
10139 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
10140
10141 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
10142 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
10143 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
10144 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
10145 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
10146
10147 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
10148 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
10149 matter what.
10150 [Richard Levitte]
10151
10152 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
10153 [Lutz Jaenicke]
10154
10155 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
10156
10157 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
10158 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
10159 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
10160 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
10161 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
10162 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
10163 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
10164 by the Finished messages.
10165 [Bodo Moeller]
10166
10167 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
10168 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
10169
10170 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
10171 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
10172 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
10173 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
10174 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
10175 appropriately.
10176 [Steve Henson]
10177
10178 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
10179 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
10180 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
10181 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
10182 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
10183 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
10184 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
10185 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
10186 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
10187 together.
10188 [Steve Henson]
10189
10190 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
10191 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
10192 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
10193 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
10194
10195 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
10196 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
10197 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
10198 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
10199 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
10200 the answer.
10201
10202 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
10203 been tested well enough.
10204 [Richard Levitte]
10205
10206 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
10207 it can return incorrect results.
10208 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
10209 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
10210 [Bodo Moeller]
10211
10212 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
10213 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
10214 include zero length content when signing messages.
10215 [Steve Henson]
10216
10217 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
10218 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
10219 [Bodo Möller]
10220
10221 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
10222 [Richard Levitte]
10223
10224 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
10225 wrong sign.
10226 [Ulf Möller]
10227
10228 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
10229 packages. The default package contains applications, application
10230 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
10231 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
10232 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
10233 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
10234 [Richard Levitte]
10235
10236 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
10237 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10238
10239 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
10240 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
10241
10242 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
10243 random number < q in the DSA library.
10244 [Ulf Möller]
10245
10246 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
10247 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
10248 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
10249 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
10250 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
10251 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
10252 just makes things more complicated.)
10253 [Bodo Moeller]
10254
10255 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
10256 from EGD.
10257 [Ben Laurie]
10258
10259 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
10260 work better on such systems.
10261 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10262
10263 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
10264 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
10265 keyid to the certificates aux info.
10266 [Steve Henson]
10267
10268 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
10269 if there was more than one signature.
10270 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
10271
10272 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
10273 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
10274 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
10275 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
10276 [Richard Levitte]
10277
10278 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
10279 rather than always using the current time.
10280 [Steve Henson]
10281
10282 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
10283 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
10284 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
10285 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
10286 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
10287 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
10288
10289 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
10290 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
10291
10292 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
10293
10294 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
10295 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
10296 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
10297 the same hash value.
10298
10299 As a result various functions (which were all internal
10300 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
10301 structure. This will break anything that messed round
10302 with X509_STORE internally.
10303
10304 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
10305 exact match, rather than just subject name.
10306
10307 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
10308 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
10309 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
10310 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
10311 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
10312 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
10313 entirely (maybe later...).
10314
10315 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
10316
10317 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
10318 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
10319 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
10320 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
10321 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
10322 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
10323 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
10324 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
10325
10326 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
10327 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
10328
10329 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
10330 to customise the verify behaviour.
10331 [Steve Henson]
10332
10333 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
10334 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
10335 [Steve Henson]
10336
10337 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
10338 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
10339 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
10340 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
10341 request is improperly encoded.
10342 [Steve Henson]
10343
10344 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
10345 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
10346 BIO_write(b, ...).
10347
10348 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
10349 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
10350
10351 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
10352 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
10353 words set to zero.)
10354 [Bodo Moeller]
10355
10356 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
10357 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
10358 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
10359 [Bodo Moeller]
10360
10361 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
10362 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
10363 BIO/fp routines also added.
10364 [Steve Henson]
10365
10366 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
10367 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
10368
10369 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
10370 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
10371 demos/state_machine.
10372 [Ben Laurie]
10373
10374 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
10375 generation and verification.
10376 [Steve Henson]
10377
10378 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
10379 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
10380 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
10381 encode and decode it manually.
10382 [Steve Henson]
10383
10384 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
10385 compile under VC++.
10386 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
10387
10388 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
10389 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
10390 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
10391 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
10392
10393 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
10394 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
10395 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
10396 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
10397 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
10398 [Steve Henson]
10399
10400 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
10401 [Richard Levitte]
10402
10403 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the strings written
10404 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
10405 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
10406
10407 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
10408 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
10409 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
10410 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
10411 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
10412 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
10413 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
10414 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
10415
10416 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
10417 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
10418
10419 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
10420
10421 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
10422 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
10423 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
10424
10425 [Richard Levitte]
10426
10427 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
10428 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
10429 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
10430 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
10431 [Richard Levitte]
10432
10433 *) MD4 implemented.
10434 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
10435
10436 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
10437 [Richard Levitte]
10438
10439 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
10440 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
10441 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
10442 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
10443 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
10444 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
10445 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
10446 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
10447 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
10448 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
10449 short or long names are found.
10450 [Steve Henson]
10451
10452 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
10453 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
10454
10455 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
10456 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
10457 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
10458 version rollback attacks was not effective.
10459
10460 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
10461 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
10462 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
10463 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
10464 [Bodo Moeller]
10465
10466 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
10467 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
10468 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
10469 [Richard Levitte]
10470
10471 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
10472 these print out strings and name structures based on various
10473 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
10474 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
10475 to allow the various flags to be set.
10476 [Steve Henson]
10477
10478 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
10479 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
10480 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
10481 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
10482 dates to be checked.
10483 [Steve Henson]
10484
10485 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
10486 negative public key encodings) on by default,
10487 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
10488 [Steve Henson]
10489
10490 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
10491 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
10492 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
10493 [Steve Henson]
10494
10495 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
10496 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
10497 [Bodo Moeller]
10498
10499 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
10500 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
10501 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
10502 are always statically linked for now, but there are
10503 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
10504 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
10505 [Richard Levitte]
10506
10507 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
10508 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
10509 Random Numbers.
10510 [Ulf Möller]
10511
10512 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
10513 DSA key.
10514 [Steve Henson]
10515
10516 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
10517 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
10518 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
10519 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
10520 form signing output easier to verify.
10521 [Steve Henson]
10522
10523 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
10524 [Steve Henson]
10525
10526 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
10527 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
10528 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
10529 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
10530 are needed because all other string types have virtually
10531 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
10532 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
10533 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
10534 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
10535 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
10536 [Steve Henson]
10537
10538 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
10539
10540 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
10541 the syntax given in objects.README.
10542 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
10543 obj_mac.h.
10544 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
10545 obj_mac.h.
10546
10547 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
10548 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
10549 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
10550 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
10551 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
10552 consistent name changes.
10553 [Richard Levitte]
10554
10555 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
10556 [Bodo Moeller]
10557
10558 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
10559 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
10560 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
10561 environment variable, or the default random state file.
10562 [Richard Levitte]
10563
10564 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
10565 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
10566 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
10567 of safestack.h .
10568 [Steve Henson]
10569
10570 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
10571 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
10572 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
10573 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
10574 [Steve Henson]
10575
10576 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
10577 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
10578 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
10579 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
10580 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
10581 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
10582 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
10583 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
10584 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
10585 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
10586 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
10587 [Steve Henson]
10588
10589 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
10590 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
10591 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
10592 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
10593 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
10594 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
10595 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
10596 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
10597 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
10598 algorithm to openssl-dev.
10599 [Steve Henson]
10600
10601 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
10602 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
10603 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
10604 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
10605
10606 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
10607 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
10608 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
10609 omit any duplicate addresses.
10610 [Steve Henson]
10611
10612 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
10613 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
10614 [Bodo Moeller]
10615
10616 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
10617 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
10618 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
10619 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
10620 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
10621 [Bodo Moeller]
10622
10623 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
10624 software:
10625 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
10626 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
10627 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
10628 Free => OPENSSL_free
10629 [Richard Levitte]
10630
10631 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
10632 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
10633 [Bodo Moeller]
10634
10635 *) CygWin32 support.
10636 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
10637
10638 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
10639 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
10640 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
10641 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
10642 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
10643 approach.
10644 [Geoff Thorpe]
10645
10646 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
10647 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
10648 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
10649 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
10650 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
10651 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
10652 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
10653 [Geoff Thorpe]
10654
10655 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
10656 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
10657 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
10658 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
10659 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
10660 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
10661 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
10662 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
10663 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
10664 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
10665 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
10666 [Bodo Moeller]
10667
10668 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
10669 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
10670 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
10671 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
10672 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
10673
10674 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
10675 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
10676 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
10677 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
10678 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
10679
10680 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
10681 ciphers.
10682
10683 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
10684 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
10685 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
10686 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
10687
10688 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
10689
10690 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
10691 of macros.
10692
10693 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
10694 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
10695 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
10696 flags.
10697
10698 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
10699 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
10700 any installed hardware versions can.
10701 [Steve Henson]
10702
10703 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
10704 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
10705 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
10706 number.
10707 [Bodo Moeller]
10708
10709 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
10710 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
10711 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
10712 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
10713 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
10714
10715 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
10716 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
10717 [Steve Henson]
10718
10719 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
10720 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
10721 [Richard Levitte]
10722
10723 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
10724 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
10725 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
10726 features.
10727 [Steve Henson]
10728
10729 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
10730 [Ulf Möller]
10731
10732 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
10733 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
10734 but no ssl client purpose.
10735 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
10736
10737 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
10738 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
10739 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
10740 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
10741 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
10742 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
10743 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
10744 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
10745 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
10746 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
10747 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
10748 [Steve Henson]
10749
10750 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
10751 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
10752 be obtained from the error queue.
10753 [Bodo Moeller]
10754
10755 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
10756 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
10757 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
10758 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
10759 [Bodo Moeller]
10760
10761 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
10762 [Ulf Möller]
10763
10764 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
10765 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
10766 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
10767 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
10768 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
10769 [Geoff Thorpe]
10770
10771 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
10772 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
10773 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
10774 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
10775 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
10776 [Geoff Thorpe]
10777
10778 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
10779 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
10780 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
10781 may not be NULL.
10782 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
10783
10784 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
10785 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
10786 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
10787 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
10788 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
10789 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
10790 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
10791 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
10792 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
10793 or "the configuration storage API"...
10794
10795 The new configuration file reading functions are:
10796
10797 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
10798 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
10799
10800 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
10801
10802 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
10803
10804 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
10805 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
10806 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
10807 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
10808 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
10809 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
10810 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
10811
10812 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
10813 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
10814 [Richard Levitte]
10815
10816 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
10817 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
10818 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
10819 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
10820 [Bodo Moeller]
10821
10822 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
10823 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
10824 them in a portable way.
10825 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
10826
10827 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
10828
10829 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
10830
10831 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
10832 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
10833
10834 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
10835 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
10836 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
10837 <attili@amaxo.com>]
10838
10839 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
10840 was larger than the MD block size.
10841 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
10842
10843 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
10844 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
10845 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
10846 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
10847 components.
10848 [Steve Henson]
10849
10850 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
10851 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
10852 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
10853
10854 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
10855 discouraged.
10856 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
10857
10858 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
10859 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
10860 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
10861 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
10862 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
10863 Additional arguments are always ignored.
10864
10865 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
10866 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
10867
10868 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
10869 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
10870 [Bodo Moeller]
10871
10872 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
10873 [Bodo Moeller]
10874
10875 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
10876 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
10877 its own key.
10878 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
10879 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
10880 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
10881 you effectively got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
10882 [Bodo Moeller]
10883
10884 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
10885 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
10886 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
10887 does not suppress any output.
10888 [Richard Levitte]
10889
10890 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
10891 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
10892 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
10893 with all the associated security issues.
10894
10895 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
10896 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
10897 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
10898 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
10899 use the value in the default purpose.
10900 [Steve Henson]
10901
10902 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
10903 and fix a memory leak.
10904 [Steve Henson]
10905
10906 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
10907 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
10908 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
10909 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
10910 [Bodo Moeller]
10911
10912 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
10913 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
10914 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
10915 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
10916 [Bodo Moeller]
10917
10918 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
10919 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
10920 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
10921 [Bodo Moeller]
10922
10923 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
10924 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
10925 [Bodo Moeller]
10926
10927 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
10928 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
10929 which was free.
10930 [Steve Henson]
10931
10932 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
10933 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
10934 [Bodo Moeller]
10935
10936 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
10937 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
10938 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
10939 [Bodo Moeller]
10940
10941 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
10942 number generation fails.
10943 [Bodo Moeller]
10944
10945 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
10946 [Bodo Moeller]
10947
10948 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
10949 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
10950
10951 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
10952 [Ulf Möller]
10953
10954 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
10955 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
10956
10957 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
10958 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
10959
10960 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
10961
10962 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
10963 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
10964 [Steve Henson]
10965
10966 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
10967 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
10968
10969 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
10970 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
10971 [Ulf Möller]
10972
10973 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
10974 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
10975 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
10976 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
10977 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
10978 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
10979
10980 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
10981 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
10982 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
10983 for example.
10984 [Steve Henson]
10985
10986 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
10987 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
10988 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
10989 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
10990 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
10991 counter, some don't.)
10992 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
10993 counters or duplicate objects.
10994 [Steve Henson]
10995
10996 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
10997 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
10998 [Steve Henson]
10999
11000 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
11001 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
11002 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
11003
11004 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
11005 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
11006 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
11007 or -rand.
11008 [Ulf Möller]
11009
11010 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
11011 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
11012 [Steve Henson]
11013
11014 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
11015 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
11016 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
11017 cipher list.
11018 [Steve Henson]
11019
11020 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
11021 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
11022 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
11023 [Steve Henson]
11024
11025 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
11026 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
11027 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
11028 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
11029 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
11030 should work without changes.
11031 [Richard Levitte]
11032
11033 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
11034 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
11035 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
11036 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
11037 must be defined. E.g.,
11038 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
11039 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
11040 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
11041 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
11042
11043 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
11044 record layer.
11045 [Bodo Moeller]
11046
11047 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
11048 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
11049 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
11050 [Steve Henson]
11051
11052 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
11053 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
11054 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
11055 request header lines. Some software needs this.
11056 [Steve Henson]
11057
11058 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
11059 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
11060 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
11061 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
11062 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
11063 is prompted for as usual.
11064 [Steve Henson]
11065
11066 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
11067 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
11068 autodetect the card and use it if present.
11069 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
11070
11071 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
11072 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
11073 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
11074 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
11075 [Steve Henson]
11076
11077 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
11078 [Andy Polyakov]
11079
11080 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
11081 of seed file.
11082 [Steve Henson]
11083
11084 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
11085 [Bodo Moeller]
11086
11087 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
11088 [Steve Henson]
11089
11090 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
11091 bits.
11092 [Ulf Möller]
11093
11094 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
11095 [Ulf Möller]
11096
11097 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
11098 [Andy Polyakov]
11099
11100 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divisor are
11101 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
11102 [Ulf Möller]
11103
11104 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
11105 options to produce them.
11106 [Steve Henson]
11107
11108 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
11109 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
11110 [Ulf Möller]
11111
11112 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
11113 for p == 0.
11114 [Ulf Möller]
11115
11116 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
11117 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
11118 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
11119 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
11120 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
11121 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
11122 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
11123 [Steve Henson]
11124
11125 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
11126 [Steve Henson]
11127
11128 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
11129 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
11130 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
11131 [Bodo Moeller]
11132
11133 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
11134 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
11135
11136 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
11137 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
11138 [Ulf Möller]
11139
11140 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
11141 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
11142 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
11143 has already seen).
11144 [Bodo Moeller]
11145
11146 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
11147 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
11148
11149 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
11150 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
11151 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
11152 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
11153 generation becomes much faster.
11154
11155 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
11156 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
11157 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
11158 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
11159 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
11160 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
11161 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
11162 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
11163 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
11164 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
11165 [Bodo Moeller]
11166
11167 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
11168 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
11169 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
11170 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
11171 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
11172 trial division stage.
11173 [Bodo Moeller]
11174
11175 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
11176 as ASN1_TIME.
11177 [Steve Henson]
11178
11179 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
11180 [Steve Henson]
11181
11182 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
11183 [Ulf Möller]
11184
11185 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
11186 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
11187 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
11188 the comments.
11189 [Ulf Möller]
11190
11191 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
11192 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
11193 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
11194 [Bodo Moeller]
11195
11196 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
11197 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
11198 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
11199 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
11200
11201 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
11202 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
11203 [Steve Henson]
11204
11205 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
11206 [Ulf Möller]
11207
11208 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
11209 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
11210 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
11211 Rabin-Miller iterations.
11212 [Ulf Möller]
11213
11214 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
11215 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
11216 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
11217 [Ulf Möller]
11218
11219 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
11220 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
11221 (instead of parameters) in future.
11222 [Steve Henson]
11223
11224 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
11225 when a new cipher list is set.
11226 [Steve Henson]
11227
11228 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
11229 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
11230 wrong.
11231
11232 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
11233 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
11234 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
11235
11236 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
11237 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
11238 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
11239 an error is flagged.
11240
11241 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
11242 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
11243 the readability was also increased :-)
11244 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
11245
11246 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
11247 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
11248 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
11249 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
11250 as the root CA.
11251 [Steve Henson]
11252
11253 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
11254 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
11255 [Steve Henson]
11256
11257 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
11258 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
11259 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
11260 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
11261 instead.
11262
11263 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
11264 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
11265 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
11266 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
11267 because they handle more complex structures.)
11268 [Steve Henson]
11269
11270 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
11271 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
11272 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
11273 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11274
11275 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
11276 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
11277 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
11278 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
11279 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
11280 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
11281 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
11282 [Ulf Möller]
11283
11284 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
11285 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
11286 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
11287 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
11288 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
11289 [Bodo Moeller]
11290
11291 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
11292 [Bodo Moeller]
11293
11294 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
11295 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
11296 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
11297 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
11298 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
11299 to use this.
11300
11301 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
11302 code.
11303 [Steve Henson]
11304
11305 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
11306 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
11307 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
11308 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
11309 [Steve Henson]
11310
11311 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
11312 [Ulf Möller]
11313
11314 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
11315 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
11316 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
11317 international characters are used.
11318
11319 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
11320 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
11321 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
11322 in ASN1 order.
11323 [Steve Henson]
11324
11325 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
11326 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
11327 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
11328 request.
11329
11330 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
11331 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
11332 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
11333 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
11334 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
11335 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
11336
11337 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
11338 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
11339 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
11340 be handled by the string table functions.
11341
11342 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
11343 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
11344 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
11345 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
11346 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
11347 types at all.
11348 [Steve Henson]
11349
11350 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
11351 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
11352 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
11353 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
11354 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
11355
11356 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
11357 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
11358 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
11359 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
11360 [Bodo Moeller]
11361
11362 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
11363 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
11364 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
11365 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
11366 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
11367 SHA1.
11368 [Andy Polyakov]
11369
11370 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
11371 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
11372 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
11373 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
11374 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
11375 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
11376 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
11377 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
11378
11379 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
11380 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
11381 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
11382 [Steve Henson]
11383
11384 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
11385 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
11386 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
11387 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
11388 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
11389 support to pkcs8 application.
11390 [Steve Henson]
11391
11392 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
11393 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
11394 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
11395 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
11396 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
11397 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
11398 [Bodo Moeller]
11399
11400 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
11401 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
11402 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
11403 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
11404 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
11405 consistency.
11406 [Bodo Moeller]
11407
11408 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
11409 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
11410 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
11411 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
11412 example.
11413 [Steve Henson]
11414
11415 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
11416 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
11417 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
11418 and any application specific purposes.
11419
11420 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
11421 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
11422 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
11423 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
11424 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
11425 if the certificate is self signed.
11426 [Steve Henson]
11427
11428 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
11429 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
11430 [Steve Henson]
11431
11432 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
11433 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
11434 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
11435 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
11436 [Steve Henson]
11437
11438 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
11439 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
11440 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
11441 Update documentation.
11442 [Steve Henson]
11443
11444 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
11445 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
11446 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
11447 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
11448 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
11449 [Steve Henson]
11450
11451 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
11452 for details.
11453 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
11454
11455 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
11456 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
11457 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
11458 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
11459 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
11460 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
11461 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
11462 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
11463 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
11464 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
11465
11466 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
11467
11468 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11469 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11470 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
11471 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
11472 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
11473
11474 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
11475 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
11476 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
11477 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
11478 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
11479 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
11480 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
11481 request additional information:
11482 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
11483 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
11484
11485 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
11486 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
11487 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
11488 options.
11489
11490 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
11491 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
11492
11493 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
11494 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
11495 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
11496
11497 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
11498 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
11499
11500 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
11501 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
11502 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
11503 algorithm.
11504 [Steve Henson]
11505
11506 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
11507 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
11508 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
11509
11510 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
11511 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
11512 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
11513 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
11514 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
11515 included in OpenSSL.
11516 [Steve Henson]
11517
11518 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
11519 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
11520 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
11521 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
11522 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
11523 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
11524 [Bodo Moeller]
11525
11526 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
11527 PKCS12 structure.
11528 [Steve Henson]
11529
11530 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
11531 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
11532 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
11533 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
11534 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
11535 structure.
11536 [Steve Henson]
11537
11538 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
11539 need initialising.
11540 [Steve Henson]
11541
11542 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
11543 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
11544 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
11545 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
11546 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
11547 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
11548 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
11549 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
11550 be maintained manually.
11551
11552 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
11553 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
11554 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
11555 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
11556 work because people forget to call this function]
11557 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
11558 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
11559 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
11560 [Steve Henson]
11561
11562 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
11563 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
11564 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
11565 should be discouraged from doing it.
11566 [Ben Laurie]
11567
11568 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
11569 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
11570 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
11571 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
11572 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
11573 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
11574 [Steve Henson]
11575
11576 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
11577 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
11578 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
11579
11580 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
11581 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
11582 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
11583
11584 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
11585 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
11586 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
11587 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
11588 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
11589 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
11590
11591 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
11592 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
11593 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
11594
11595 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
11596 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
11597 and vice versa.
11598
11599 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
11600 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
11601 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
11602 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
11603 [Steve Henson]
11604
11605 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
11606 [Steve Henson]
11607
11608 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
11609 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
11610 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
11611 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
11612 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
11613 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
11614 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
11615 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
11616 keys so we should be OK.
11617
11618 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
11619 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
11620 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
11621 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
11622 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
11623 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
11624 stay in the name of compatibility.
11625
11626 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
11627 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
11628 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
11629
11630 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
11631 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
11632 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
11633 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
11634 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
11635 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
11636 supplied key).
11637 [Steve Henson]
11638
11639 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
11640 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
11641 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
11642 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
11643 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
11644 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
11645 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
11646 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
11647 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
11648 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
11649 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
11650 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
11651 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
11652 [Steve Henson]
11653
11654 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
11655 [Steve Henson]
11656
11657 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
11658 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
11659 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
11660 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
11661 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
11662 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
11663 single self signed certificate. This means that:
11664 openssl verify ss.pem
11665 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
11666 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
11667 is OK.
11668 [Steve Henson]
11669
11670 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
11671 (and add it to external session representation).
11672 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
11673 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
11674 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
11675 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
11676 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
11677 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
11678 security holes.
11679 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
11680
11681 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
11682 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
11683 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
11684 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
11685
11686 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
11687 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
11688 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
11689 [Steve Henson]
11690
11691 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
11692 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
11693 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
11694 code.
11695 [Steve Henson]
11696
11697 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
11698 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
11699 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
11700
11701 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
11702 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
11703 certificate auxiliary information.
11704 [Steve Henson]
11705
11706 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
11707 the 'enc' command.
11708 [Steve Henson]
11709
11710 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
11711 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
11712 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
11713 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
11714 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
11715 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
11716 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
11717 [Richard Levitte]
11718
11719 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
11720 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
11721 [Steve Henson]
11722
11723 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
11724 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
11725 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
11726 manpages and fix a few bugs.
11727 [Steve Henson]
11728
11729 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
11730 [Steve Henson]
11731
11732 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
11733 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
11734 [Steve Henson]
11735
11736 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
11737 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
11738 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
11739 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
11740 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
11741 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
11742 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
11743 using the new 'x509' options.
11744
11745 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
11746 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
11747 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
11748 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
11749 for all purposes.
11750 [Steve Henson]
11751
11752 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
11753 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
11754 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
11755 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
11756 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
11757 [Mark Cox]
11758
11759 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
11760 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
11761 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
11762 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
11763 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
11764 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
11765 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
11766 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
11767 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
11768 the key length and effective key length are equal.
11769 [Steve Henson]
11770
11771 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
11772 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
11773 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
11774 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
11775 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
11776 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
11777 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
11778 [Steve Henson]
11779
11780 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
11781 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
11782 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
11783 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
11784 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
11785 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
11786 openssl.cnf for more info.
11787 [Steve Henson]
11788
11789 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
11790 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
11791 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
11792 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
11793 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
11794 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
11795 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
11796 md should be large enough anyway.
11797 [Bodo Moeller]
11798
11799 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
11800 for handling the random seed file.
11801
11802 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
11803 ca,
11804 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
11805 s_client,
11806 s_server,
11807 x509 (when signing).
11808 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
11809 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
11810 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
11811
11812 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
11813 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
11814 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
11815 that support '-rand'.
11816 [Bodo Moeller]
11817
11818 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
11819 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
11820 [Bodo Moeller]
11821
11822 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
11823 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
11824 [Bill Perry]
11825
11826 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
11827 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
11828 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
11829 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
11830 is suitable.
11831 [Steve Henson]
11832
11833 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
11834 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
11835 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
11836 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
11837 [Steve Henson]
11838
11839 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
11840 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
11841 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
11842 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
11843 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
11844 print out all the purposes.
11845 [Steve Henson]
11846
11847 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
11848 functions.
11849 [Steve Henson]
11850
11851 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
11852 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
11853 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
11854 single function call.
11855 [Steve Henson]
11856
11857 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
11858 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
11859 [Andy Polyakov]
11860
11861 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
11862 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
11863 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
11864 [Steve Henson]
11865
11866 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
11867 when producing the local key id.
11868 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11869
11870 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
11871 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
11872 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
11873 "server.pem".
11874 [Steve Henson]
11875
11876 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
11877 a public key to be input or output. For example:
11878 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
11879 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
11880 [Steve Henson]
11881
11882 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
11883 in the message. This was handled by allowing
11884 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
11885 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
11886
11887 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
11888 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
11889 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
11890 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11891
11892 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
11893 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
11894 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
11895 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
11896 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
11897 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
11898 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
11899 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
11900 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
11901 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
11902 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
11903 trivial: move one line.
11904 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
11905
11906 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
11907 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
11908 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
11909 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
11910 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
11911 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
11912 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
11913 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
11914 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
11915 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
11916 with an event loop for example.
11917 [Steve Henson]
11918
11919 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
11920 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
11921 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
11922 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
11923 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
11924 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
11925 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
11926 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
11927 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
11928 [Steve Henson]
11929
11930 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
11931 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
11932 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
11933 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
11934 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
11935 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
11936 [Steve Henson]
11937
11938 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
11939 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
11940 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
11941 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
11942
11943 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
11944 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
11945 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
11946 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
11947 key generation.
11948 [Steve Henson]
11949
11950 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
11951 (still largely untested)
11952 [Bodo Moeller]
11953
11954 *) New function ASN1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
11955 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
11956 [Steve Henson]
11957
11958 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
11959 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
11960 [Steve Henson]
11961
11962 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
11963 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
11964 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
11965 [Bodo Moeller]
11966
11967 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
11968 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
11969 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
11970 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
11971 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
11972 [Steve Henson]
11973
11974 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
11975 [Andy Polyakov]
11976
11977 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
11978 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
11979 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
11980 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
11981 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
11982 in ca.
11983 [Steve Henson]
11984
11985 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
11986 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
11987 1.OU="Unit name 1"
11988 2.OU="Unit name 2"
11989 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
11990 [Steve Henson]
11991
11992 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
11993 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
11994 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
11995 are otherwise ignored at present.
11996 [Steve Henson]
11997
11998 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
11999 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
12000 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
12001 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
12002 copied until the next read.
12003 [Steve Henson]
12004
12005 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
12006 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
12007 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
12008 [Steve Henson]
12009
12010 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
12011 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
12012 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
12013 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
12014 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
12015 associated functions.
12016 [Steve Henson]
12017
12018 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
12019 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
12020 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
12021 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
12022 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
12023 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
12024 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
12025 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
12026 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
12027 memory BIOs.
12028 [Steve Henson]
12029
12030 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
12031 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
12032 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
12033 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
12034 [Bodo Moeller]
12035
12036 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
12037 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
12038 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
12039 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
12040 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
12041 functionality.
12042 [Steve Henson]
12043
12044 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
12045 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
12046 under Win32.
12047 [Steve Henson]
12048
12049 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
12050 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
12051 extensions to be obtained and added.
12052 [Steve Henson]
12053
12054 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
12055 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
12056 [Bodo Moeller]
12057
12058 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
12059
12060 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
12061 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12062
12063 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
12064 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
12065
12066 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
12067 program.
12068 [Steve Henson]
12069
12070 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
12071 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
12072 DH parameters contain its length).
12073
12074 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
12075 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
12076 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
12077 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
12078 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
12079 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
12080 utter importance to use
12081 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
12082 or
12083 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
12084 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
12085 attacks may become possible!
12086 [Bodo Moeller]
12087
12088 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
12089 [Bodo Moeller]
12090
12091 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
12092 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
12093 [Steve Henson]
12094
12095 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
12096 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
12097 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
12098 or long name.
12099 [Steve Henson]
12100
12101 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
12102 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
12103 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
12104 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
12105 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
12106 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
12107 private key operations.
12108 [Steve Henson]
12109
12110 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
12111 [Andy Polyakov]
12112
12113 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
12114 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
12115 to
12116 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
12117 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
12118 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
12119 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
12120 the password callback is called.
12121 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
12122
12123 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
12124
12125 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
12126 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
12127 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
12128 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
12129 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
12130 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
12131 this will work.
12132
12133 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
12134 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
12135 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
12136 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
12137 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
12138 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
12139 [Bodo Moeller]
12140
12141 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
12142 [Andy Polyakov]
12143
12144 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
12145 delete an unused file.
12146 [Ulf Möller]
12147
12148 *) Add support for the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
12149 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
12150 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
12151 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
12152 [Steve Henson]
12153
12154 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
12155 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
12156 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
12157 of an error.
12158 [Bodo Moeller]
12159
12160 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
12161 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
12162 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
12163
12164 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
12165 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
12166 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
12167 comparison" warnings.
12168 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
12169 [Steve Henson]
12170
12171 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
12172 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
12173 derived keys are printed to stderr.
12174 [Steve Henson]
12175
12176 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
12177 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
12178
12179 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
12180 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
12181
12182 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
12183 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
12184 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
12185
12186 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
12187 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
12188 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
12189 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
12190 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
12191 this bug.
12192 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
12193
12194 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
12195 The interface is as follows:
12196 Applications can use
12197 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
12198 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
12199 "off" is now the default.
12200 The library internally uses
12201 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
12202 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
12203 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
12204
12205 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
12206 even the default) are now avoided.
12207
12208 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
12209 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
12210 than just having a counter.
12211
12212 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
12213
12214 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
12215 extensions.
12216 [Bodo Moeller]
12217
12218 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
12219 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
12220 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
12221 Initial "mode" flags are:
12222
12223 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
12224 a single record has been written.
12225 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
12226 retries use the same buffer location.
12227 (But all of the contents must be
12228 copied!)
12229 [Bodo Moeller]
12230
12231 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
12232 worked.
12233
12234 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
12235 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
12236
12237 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
12238 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
12239 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
12240 [Steve Henson]
12241
12242 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
12243 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
12244 test programs.
12245 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
12246
12247 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
12248 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
12249 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
12250 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
12251 point to the end.
12252 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
12253 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
12254
12255 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
12256 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
12257 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
12258 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
12259 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
12260 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
12261 [Steve Henson]
12262
12263 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
12264 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
12265 necessary function names.
12266 [Steve Henson]
12267
12268 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
12269 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
12270 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
12271 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
12272 [Bodo Moeller]
12273
12274 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
12275 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
12276 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
12277 [Steve Henson]
12278
12279 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
12280 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
12281 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
12282 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
12283 such programs?)
12284 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
12285 need locks.
12286 [Bodo Moeller]
12287
12288 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
12289 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
12290 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
12291 [Bodo Moeller]
12292
12293 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
12294 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
12295 appropriate.
12296 [Bodo Moeller]
12297
12298 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
12299 for the encoded length.
12300 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
12301
12302 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
12303 [Steve Henson]
12304
12305 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
12306 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
12307 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
12308 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
12309 [Steve Henson]
12310
12311 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
12312 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
12313 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12314
12315 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
12316 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
12317 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
12318 unusual formatting.
12319 [Steve Henson]
12320
12321 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
12322 to use the new extension code.
12323 [Steve Henson]
12324
12325 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
12326 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
12327 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
12328 constant.
12329 [Steve Henson]
12330
12331 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
12332 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
12333 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
12334 [Bodo Moeller]
12335
12336 #if 0
12337 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
12338 [Ben Laurie]
12339 #else
12340 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
12341 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
12342 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
12343 #endif
12344
12345 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
12346 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
12347 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
12348 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
12349 [Ben Laurie]
12350
12351 *) DES library cleanups.
12352 [Ulf Möller]
12353
12354 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
12355 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
12356 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
12357 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
12358 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
12359 of v2.0.
12360 [Steve Henson]
12361
12362 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
12363 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
12364 [Bodo Moeller]
12365
12366 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
12367 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
12368 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
12369 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
12370 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
12371 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
12372 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
12373 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
12374 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
12375 [Steve Henson]
12376
12377 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
12378 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
12379 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
12380 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
12381 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
12382 value doesn't matter.
12383 [Steve Henson]
12384
12385 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
12386 support mutable.
12387 [Ben Laurie]
12388
12389 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
12390 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
12391 "linux-sparc" configuration.
12392 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
12393
12394 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
12395 [Ulf Möller]
12396
12397 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
12398 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
12399 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
12400
12401 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
12402 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
12403
12404 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
12405 [Ben Laurie]
12406
12407 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
12408 [Ben Laurie]
12409
12410 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
12411 [Ben Laurie]
12412
12413 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
12414 [Bodo Moeller]
12415
12416
12417 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
12418
12419 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
12420
12421 *) Updated some demos.
12422 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
12423
12424 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
12425 [Wu Zhigang]
12426
12427 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
12428 [Steve Henson]
12429
12430 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
12431 [Steve Henson]
12432
12433 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
12434 instead of using a fixed path.
12435 [Bodo Moeller]
12436
12437 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
12438 [Andy Polyakov]
12439
12440 *) Improvements for VMS support.
12441 [Richard Levitte]
12442
12443
12444 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
12445
12446 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
12447 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
12448 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12449
12450 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
12451 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
12452 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
12453 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
12454 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
12455 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
12456 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
12457 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
12458 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
12459 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
12460 [Steve Henson]
12461
12462 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
12463 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
12464 [Steve Henson]
12465
12466 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
12467 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
12468 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
12469 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
12470 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
12471
12472 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
12473 [Bodo Moeller]
12474
12475 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
12476 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
12477 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
12478 [Steve Henson]
12479
12480 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
12481 [Ben Laurie]
12482
12483 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
12484 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
12485 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
12486 key elements as negative integers.
12487 [Steve Henson]
12488
12489 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
12490 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12491
12492 *) VMS support.
12493 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
12494
12495 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
12496 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
12497 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
12498 [Steve Henson]
12499
12500 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
12501 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
12502 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
12503 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
12504 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
12505 [Bodo Moeller]
12506
12507 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
12508 [Ulf Möller]
12509
12510 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
12511 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
12512 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
12513 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12514
12515 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
12516 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
12517 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
12518
12519 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
12520 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
12521 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
12522 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
12523 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
12524 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
12525 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
12526 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
12527 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
12528
12529 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
12530 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
12531 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
12532 does not influence s as it used to.
12533
12534 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
12535 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
12536 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
12537 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
12538 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
12539 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
12540 [Bodo Moeller]
12541
12542 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
12543 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
12544 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
12545 key type.
12546 [Steve Henson]
12547
12548 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
12549 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
12550 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
12551 and 'x509').
12552 [Steve Henson]
12553
12554 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
12555 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
12556 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
12557 extension option.
12558 [Steve Henson]
12559
12560 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
12561 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
12562 [Ben Laurie]
12563
12564 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
12565 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
12566
12567 *) Support Mingw32.
12568 [Ulf Möller]
12569
12570 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
12571 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12572
12573 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
12574 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12575
12576 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
12577 [Ulf Möller]
12578
12579 *) Update HPUX configuration.
12580 [Anonymous]
12581
12582 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
12583 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12584
12585 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
12586 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
12587 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
12588 DER-encoded.)
12589 [Bodo Moeller]
12590
12591 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
12592 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
12593 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
12594 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
12595 now it really counts the depth.
12596 [Bodo Moeller]
12597
12598 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
12599 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
12600 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
12601 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
12602 didn't match the private key).
12603
12604 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
12605 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
12606 connection using the SSL_CTX).
12607 [Bodo Moeller]
12608
12609 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
12610 [Ulf Möller]
12611
12612 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
12613 David Harris.
12614 [Bodo Moeller]
12615
12616 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
12617 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
12618 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
12619 [Bodo Moeller]
12620
12621 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
12622 [Bodo Moeller]
12623
12624 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
12625 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
12626 such as /usr/local/bin.
12627 [Bodo Moeller]
12628
12629 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
12630 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12631
12632 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
12633 [Ulf Möller]
12634
12635 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
12636 extension adding in x509 utility.
12637 [Steve Henson]
12638
12639 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
12640 [Ulf Möller]
12641
12642 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
12643 prototypes.
12644 [Steve Henson]
12645
12646 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
12647 [Ulf Möller]
12648
12649 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
12650 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
12651 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
12652 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
12653 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
12654 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
12655 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
12656 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
12657 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
12658 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
12659 [Steve Henson]
12660
12661 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
12662 [Bodo Moeller]
12663
12664 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
12665 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
12666 [Bodo Moeller]
12667
12668 *) Fix some race conditions.
12669 [Bodo Moeller]
12670
12671 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
12672 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
12673 [Steve Henson]
12674
12675 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
12676 [Ulf Möller]
12677
12678 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
12679 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
12680 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
12681 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
12682
12683 *) Fix lots of warnings.
12684 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12685
12686 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
12687 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
12688 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12689
12690 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
12691 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12692
12693 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
12694 [Ulf Möller]
12695
12696 *) Fix typos in error codes.
12697 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
12698
12699 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
12700 [Ulf Möller]
12701
12702 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
12703 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12704
12705 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
12706 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
12707 [Steve Henson]
12708
12709 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
12710 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
12711 [Ben Laurie]
12712
12713 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
12714 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
12715 [Steve Henson]
12716
12717 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
12718 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
12719 [Steve Henson]
12720
12721 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
12722 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
12723 [Steve Henson]
12724
12725 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
12726 support typesafe stack.
12727 [Steve Henson]
12728
12729 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
12730 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
12731
12732 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
12733 old X509V3 handling code.
12734 [Steve Henson]
12735
12736 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
12737 [Ulf Möller]
12738
12739 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
12740 [Bodo Moeller]
12741
12742 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
12743 [Ben Laurie]
12744
12745 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
12746 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
12747
12748 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
12749 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
12750 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
12751 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
12752 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
12753 [Ben Laurie]
12754
12755 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
12756 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
12757 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
12758 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
12759 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
12760
12761 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
12762 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
12763 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
12764 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12765
12766 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
12767 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
12768 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
12769 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12770
12771 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
12772 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
12773 all available ciphers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
12774 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
12775 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
12776 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
12777 [Bodo Moeller]
12778
12779 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
12780 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
12781 [Bodo Moeller]
12782
12783 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
12784 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
12785 [Ulf Möller]
12786
12787 *) Tweaks to Configure
12788 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12789
12790 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
12791 yet...
12792 [Steve Henson]
12793
12794 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
12795 [Ulf Möller]
12796
12797 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
12798 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
12799 [Ulf Möller]
12800
12801 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
12802 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
12803 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
12804 [Bodo Moeller]
12805
12806 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
12807 [Bodo Moeller]
12808
12809 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
12810 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
12811 [Steve Henson]
12812
12813 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
12814 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
12815 to library startup routines.
12816 [Steve Henson]
12817
12818 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
12819 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
12820 codes along the way.
12821 [Steve Henson]
12822
12823 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
12824 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
12825 objects to objects.h
12826 [Steve Henson]
12827
12828 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
12829 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
12830 [Steve Henson]
12831
12832 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
12833 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
12834
12835 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
12836 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
12837 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
12838
12839 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
12840 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
12841 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12842
12843 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
12844 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
12845 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
12846
12847
12848 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
12849
12850 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
12851 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
12852 [Ben Laurie]
12853
12854 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
12855 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
12856 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
12857 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
12858 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
12859
12860 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
12861 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
12862 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
12863 document.
12864 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12865
12866 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
12867 Malloc, Free.
12868 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
12869
12870 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
12871 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12872
12873 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
12874 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
12875 if someone would make that last step automatic.
12876 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
12877
12878 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
12879 [Ben Laurie]
12880
12881 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
12882 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
12883 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
12884 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
12885 [Steve Henson]
12886
12887 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
12888 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
12889 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
12890 [Steve Henson]
12891
12892 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
12893 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
12894 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
12895 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
12896 installed as `perl').
12897 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12898
12899 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
12900 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12901
12902 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
12903 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
12904 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
12905 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
12906 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
12907 [Steve Henson]
12908
12909 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
12910 [Ben Laurie]
12911
12912 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
12913 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
12914 is horrible: I feel ill....
12915 [Steve Henson]
12916
12917 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
12918 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
12919 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
12920 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
12921 [Steve Henson]
12922
12923 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
12924 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12925
12926 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
12927 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
12928 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
12929 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12930
12931 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
12932 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
12933 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
12934 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
12935 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
12936 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
12937 openssl_bio.xs.
12938 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12939
12940 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
12941 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12942
12943 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
12944 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
12945
12946 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
12947 [Ben Laurie]
12948
12949 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
12950 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
12951 in CRLs.
12952 [Steve Henson]
12953
12954 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
12955 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
12956 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
12957 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
12958 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
12959 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
12960 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
12961 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
12962 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
12963 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
12964 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12965
12966 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
12967 [Ben Laurie]
12968
12969 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
12970 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
12971 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
12972 for linking it into DSOs.
12973 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12974
12975 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
12976 Fixed.
12977 [Ben Laurie]
12978
12979 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
12980 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
12981 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
12982 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
12983 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
12984 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12985
12986 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
12987 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
12988 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
12989 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
12990 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
12991 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
12992 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12993
12994 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
12995 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
12996 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
12997 encryption.
12998 [Ben Laurie]
12999
13000 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
13001 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
13002 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
13003 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
13004 [Steve Henson]
13005
13006 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
13007 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
13008 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
13009 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
13010 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
13011 field as blank.
13012 [Steve Henson]
13013
13014 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
13015 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
13016 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
13017 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
13018 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13019
13020 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
13021 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
13022 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
13023
13024 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
13025 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
13026
13027 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
13028 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
13029 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
13030 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
13031 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
13032 [Steve Henson]
13033
13034 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
13035 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
13036 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
13037 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
13038 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
13039 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
13040 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
13041 [Ben Laurie]
13042
13043 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
13044 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
13045 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
13046 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
13047 [Ben Laurie]
13048
13049 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
13050 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
13051
13052 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
13053 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
13054 [Steve Henson]
13055
13056 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
13057 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
13058 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
13059 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
13060 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
13061 (e.g. s_server).
13062 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
13063 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
13064 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
13065 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
13066 no way to reconfigure them.
13067 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
13068 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
13069 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
13070 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
13071 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
13072 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13073
13074 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
13075 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
13076 recognized by the users.
13077 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13078
13079 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
13080 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
13081 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
13082 already masked variable.
13083 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
13084
13085 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
13086 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
13087
13088 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
13089 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
13090 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
13091 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
13092
13093 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
13094 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
13095 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13096
13097 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
13098 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
13099 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
13100 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
13101 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
13102 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
13103 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
13104 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
13105 now, too.
13106 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13107
13108 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
13109 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
13110 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13111
13112 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
13113 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
13114 config file.
13115 [Steve Henson]
13116
13117 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
13118 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
13119
13120 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
13121 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
13122 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
13123 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
13124 [Ben Laurie]
13125
13126 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
13127 [Steve Henson]
13128
13129 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
13130 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13131
13132 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
13133 [Ben Laurie]
13134
13135 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
13136 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
13137 [Steve Henson]
13138
13139 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
13140 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
13141 [Steve Henson]
13142
13143 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
13144 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
13145 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
13146 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
13147 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
13148 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
13149 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
13150 Ben Laurie]
13151
13152 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
13153 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13154
13155 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
13156 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
13157 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
13158 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
13159 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13160
13161 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
13162 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
13163 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
13164 [Steve Henson]
13165
13166 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
13167 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
13168 an example.
13169 [Steve Henson]
13170
13171 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
13172 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
13173 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13174
13175 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
13176 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
13177 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
13178 build instructions.
13179 [Steve Henson]
13180
13181 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
13182 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
13183 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
13184 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
13185 [Steve Henson]
13186
13187 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
13188 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
13189 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
13190 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
13191 [Ben Laurie]
13192
13193 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
13194 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
13195 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
13196 so it wasn't spotted.
13197 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
13198
13199 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
13200 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
13201 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
13202 vectors if you have them.
13203 [Ben Laurie]
13204
13205 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
13206 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
13207 [Ben Laurie]
13208
13209 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
13210 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
13211 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
13212 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
13213 If you do a:
13214 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
13215 it will update them.
13216 [Steve Henson]
13217
13218 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
13219 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
13220 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
13221 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
13222 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
13223 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
13224 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
13225 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13226
13227 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
13228 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
13229 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
13230 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
13231 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
13232 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
13233 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
13234 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
13235 the crypto/md/ stuff).
13236 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13237
13238 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
13239 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
13240 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
13241 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
13242 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
13243 [Steve Henson]
13244
13245 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
13246 INTEGER code.
13247 [Steve Henson]
13248
13249 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
13250 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13251
13252 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
13253 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
13254
13255 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
13256 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
13257 [Ben Laurie]
13258
13259 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
13260 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
13261
13262 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
13263 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
13264
13265 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
13266 [Steve Henson]
13267
13268 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
13269 few typos.
13270 [Steve Henson]
13271
13272 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
13273 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
13274 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
13275 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13276
13277 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
13278 [Steve Henson]
13279
13280 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
13281 [Steve Henson]
13282
13283 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
13284 [Steve Henson]
13285
13286 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
13287 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
13288 [Steve Henson]
13289
13290 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
13291 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
13292 CA extensions.
13293 [Steve Henson]
13294
13295 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
13296 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
13297 [Steve Henson]
13298
13299 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
13300 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
13301 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
13302 [Steve Henson]
13303
13304 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
13305 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
13306 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
13307 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
13308 properly to be processed.
13309 [Steve Henson]
13310
13311 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
13312 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
13313 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
13314 [Ben Laurie]
13315
13316 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
13317 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
13318
13319 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
13320 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
13321 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
13322 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
13323 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
13324 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
13325 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
13326 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
13327 or delete all the .err files.
13328 [Steve Henson]
13329
13330 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
13331 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
13332 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
13333 to regenerate it if needed.
13334 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
13335 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
13336
13337 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
13338 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13339
13340 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
13341 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
13342 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
13343 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
13344 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
13345 [Steve Henson]
13346
13347 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
13348 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13349
13350 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
13351 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13352
13353 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
13354 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
13355 error, but didn't set one).
13356 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13357
13358 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
13359 [Ben Laurie]
13360
13361 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
13362 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
13363 [Steve Henson]
13364
13365 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
13366 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
13367
13368 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
13369 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
13370 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
13371 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
13372 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
13373 OID is not part of the table.
13374 [Steve Henson]
13375
13376 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
13377 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
13378 [Ben Laurie]
13379
13380 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
13381 [Ben Laurie]
13382
13383 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
13384 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
13385 was "1234").
13386 [Steve Henson]
13387
13388 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
13389 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
13390
13391 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
13392 NULL pointers.
13393 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13394
13395 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
13396 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13397
13398 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
13399 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13400
13401 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
13402 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13403
13404 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
13405 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
13406 [Ben Laurie]
13407
13408 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
13409 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
13410 [Steve Henson]
13411
13412 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
13413 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13414
13415 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
13416 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13417
13418 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
13419 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13420
13421 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
13422 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13423
13424 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
13425 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
13426 unused in the certificate verification process.
13427 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13428
13429 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
13430 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
13431 [Steve Henson]
13432
13433 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
13434 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
13435 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
13436
13437 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
13438 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
13439 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
13440 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
13441 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
13442
13443 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
13444 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
13445 [Steve Henson]
13446
13447 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
13448 [Steve Henson]
13449
13450 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
13451 [Paul Sutton]
13452
13453 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
13454 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
13455
13456 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
13457 [Ben Laurie]
13458
13459 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
13460 [Ben Laurie]
13461
13462 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
13463 [Ben Laurie]
13464
13465 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
13466 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
13467 other error libraries.
13468 [Steve Henson]
13469
13470 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
13471 [Steve Henson]
13472
13473 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
13474 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
13475 be read in.
13476 [Steve Henson]
13477
13478 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
13479 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
13480 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
13481 the new set of documentation files.
13482 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13483
13484 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
13485 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
13486 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
13487 number of arguments.
13488 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
13489
13490 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
13491 [Ben Laurie]
13492
13493 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
13494 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
13495 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13496
13497 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
13498 [Ben Laurie]
13499
13500 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
13501 nextstep
13502 ncr-scde
13503 unixware-2.0
13504 unixware-2.0-pentium
13505 sco5-cc.
13506 [Ben Laurie]
13507
13508 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
13509 before they are needed.
13510 [Ben Laurie]
13511
13512 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
13513 [Ben Laurie]
13514
13515
13516 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
13517
13518 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
13519 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
13520 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13521
13522 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
13523 [Paul Sutton]
13524
13525 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
13526 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
13527 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13528
13529 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
13530 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
13531 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
13532
13533 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
13534 when "ssleay" is still not found.
13535 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13536
13537 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
13538 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
13539
13540 *) Updated the README file.
13541 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13542
13543 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
13544 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
13545 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13546
13547 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
13548 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
13549 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13550
13551 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
13552 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
13553 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
13554 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
13555 o removed obsolete TODO file
13556 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
13557 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13558
13559 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
13560 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
13561 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
13562 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
13563 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
13564 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
13565 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13566
13567 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
13568 [Mark J. Cox]
13569
13570 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
13571 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
13572 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
13573 summer 1998.
13574 [The OpenSSL Project]
13575
13576
13577 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
13578
13579 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
13580 [Eric A. Young]
13581
13582 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
13583 [Eric A. Young]
13584
13585 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
13586 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
13587 [Eric A. Young]
13588
13589 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
13590 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
13591 available).
13592 [Eric A. Young]
13593
13594 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
13595 binary structures
13596 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
13597
13598 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
13599 [Eric A. Young]
13600
13601 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
13602 [Eric A. Young]
13603
13604 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
13605 [Eric A. Young]
13606
13607 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
13608 [Eric A. Young]
13609
13610 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
13611 [Eric A. Young]
13612
13613 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
13614 [Eric A. Young]
13615
13616 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
13617 [Eric A. Young]
13618
13619 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
13620 [Eric A. Young]
13621
13622 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
13623 [Eric A. Young]
13624
13625 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
13626 [Eric A. Young]
13627
13628 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
13629 [Eric A. Young]
13630
13631 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
13632 [Eric A. Young]
13633
13634 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
13635 [Eric A. Young]
13636
13637 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
13638 [Eric A. Young]
13639
13640 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
13641 [Eric A. Young]
13642
13643 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
13644 [Eric A. Young]
13645
13646 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
13647 [Eric A. Young]
13648
13649 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
13650 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
13651 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
13652 [Eric A. Young]
13653
13654 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
13655 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
13656 [Eric A. Young]
13657
13658 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
13659 [Eric A. Young]
13660
13661 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
13662 [Eric A. Young]
13663
13664 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
13665 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
13666 [Eric A. Young]
13667
13668 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
13669 [Eric A. Young]
13670
13671 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
13672 [Eric A. Young]
13673
13674 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
13675 bytes sent in the client random.
13676 [Edward Bishop <ebishop@spyglass.com>]
