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

1044 Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.0h [27 Mar 2018]
1045
1046 *) Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
1047
1048 Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
1049 in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
1050 excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
1051 are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
1052 so this is considered safe.
1053
1054 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
1055 project.
1056 (CVE-2018-0739)
1057 [Matt Caswell]
1058
1059 *) Incorrect CRYPTO_memcmp on HP-UX PA-RISC
1060
1061 Because of an implementation bug the PA-RISC CRYPTO_memcmp function is
1062 effectively reduced to only comparing the least significant bit of each
1063 byte. This allows an attacker to forge messages that would be considered as
1064 authenticated in an amount of tries lower than that guaranteed by the
1065 security claims of the scheme. The module can only be compiled by the
1066 HP-UX assembler, so that only HP-UX PA-RISC targets are affected.
1067
1068 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 2nd March 2018 by Peter Waltenberg
1069 (IBM).
1070 (CVE-2018-0733)
1071 [Andy Polyakov]
1072
1073 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
1074 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
1075 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
1076 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
1077 [Richard Levitte]
1078
1079 *) Backport SSL_OP_NO_RENGOTIATION
1080
1081 OpenSSL 1.0.2 and below had the ability to disable renegotiation using the
1082 (undocumented) SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS flag. Due to the opacity
1083 changes this is no longer possible in 1.1.0. Therefore the new
1084 SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION option from 1.1.1-dev has been backported to
1085 1.1.0 to provide equivalent functionality.
1086
1087 Note that if an application built against 1.1.0h headers (or above) is run
1088 using an older version of 1.1.0 (prior to 1.1.0h) then the option will be
1089 accepted but nothing will happen, i.e. renegotiation will not be prevented.
1090 [Matt Caswell]
1091
1092 *) Removed the OS390-Unix config target. It relied on a script that doesn't
1093 exist.
1094 [Rich Salz]
1095
1096 *) rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
1097
1098 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
1099 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
1100 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
1101 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
1102 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
1103 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
1104 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
1105 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
1106 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
1107 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
1108
1109 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
1110 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
1111
1112 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
1113 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.

1116
1117 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
1118
1119 *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
1120
1121 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1122 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1123 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1124 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1125 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1126 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1127 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1128 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1129 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1130 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1131 key that is shared between multiple clients.
1132
1133 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
1134 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
1135
1136 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
1137 (CVE-2017-3736)
1138 [Andy Polyakov]
1139
1140 *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
1141
1142 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
1143 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
1144 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
1145
1146 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
1147 (CVE-2017-3735)
1148 [Rich Salz]
1149
1150 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
1151
1152 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
1153 platform rather than 'mingw'.
1154 [Richard Levitte]
1155
1156 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
1157 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
1158 which is the minimum version we support.

1160
1161 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
1162
1163 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
1164
1165 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
1166 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
1167 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
1168 and servers are affected.
1169
1170 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
1171 (CVE-2017-3733)

1173
1174 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
1175
1176 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
1177
1178 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
1179 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
1180 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
1181
1182 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
1183 (CVE-2017-3731)
1184 [Andy Polyakov]
1185
1186 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
1187
1188 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
1189 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
1190 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
1191 of Service attack.
1192
1193 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
1194 (CVE-2017-3730)
1195 [Matt Caswell]
1196
1197 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1198
1199 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1200 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1201 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1202 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1203 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1204 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1205 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1206 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1207 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1208 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1209 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1210 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
1211 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
1212
1213 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
1214 (CVE-2017-3732)

1217 Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
1218
1219 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
1220
1221 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
1222 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
1223 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
1224
1225 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
1226 (CVE-2016-7054)
1227 [Richard Levitte]
1228
1229 *) CMS Null dereference
1230
1231 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
1232 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
1233 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
1234 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
1235 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
1236 affected.
1237
1238 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
1239 (CVE-2016-7053)
1240 [Stephen Henson]
1241
1242 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
1243
1244 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
1245 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
1246 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
1247 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
1248 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
1249 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
1250 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
1251 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
1252 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
1253 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
1254 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
1255 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
1256 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
1257 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
1258
1259 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
1260 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
1261 providing reproducible case.
1262 (CVE-2016-7055)
1263 [Andy Polyakov]
1264
1265 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
1266 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
1267 [Richard Levitte]
1268
1269 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
1270
1271 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
1272
1273 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
1274 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
1275 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
1276 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
1277 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
1278 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
1279
1280 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.

1282 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.

1286 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
1287
1288 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
1289
1290 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
1291 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
1292 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
1293 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
1294 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
1295 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
1296 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.

1299 (CVE-2016-6304)
1300 [Matt Caswell]
1301
1302 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
1303
1304 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
1305 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
1306 Denial Of Service attack.
1307
1308 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
1309 (CVE-2016-6305)
1310 [Matt Caswell]
1311
1312 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
1313 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
1314
1315 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
1316 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
1317 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
1318 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
1319 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
1320 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
1321 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
1322 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
1323 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
1324 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
1325 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
1326 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
1327 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
1328 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
1329 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
1330
1331 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
1332 that the connection fails
1333 or
1334 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
1335 very little free memory
1336 or
1337 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
1338 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
1339 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
1340 memory to service the multiple requests.
1341
1342 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
1343 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
1344 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
1345 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
1346 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.

1349 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
1350 [Matt Caswell]
1351
1352 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
1353 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
1354 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
1355 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
1356 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
1357 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
1358 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
1359 [Andy Polyakov]
1360
1361 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
1362
1363 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
1364 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
1365 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
1366 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
1367 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
1368 non-ASCII password.
1369 [Andy Polyakov]
1370
1371 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
1372 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
1373 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
1374 [Rich Salz]
1375
1376 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
1377 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
1378 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
1379 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
1380 [Matt Caswell]
1381
1382 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
1383 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
1384 success.
1385 [Matt Caswell]
1386
1387 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
1388 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
1389 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
1390 no-ops and deprecated.
1391 [Matt Caswell]
1392
1393 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
1394 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
1395 were also closed.
1396 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
1397
1398 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
1399 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
1400 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
1401 [Rich Salz]
1402
1403 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
1404 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
1405 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
1406 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
1407 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
1408 and the validity of object reference counter.
1409 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
1410
1411 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
1412 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
1413 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
1414 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
1415 [Richard Levitte]
1416
1417 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
1418 [Richard Levitte]
1419
1420 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
1421 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
1422 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
1423 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
1424
1425 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
1426
1427 [Richard Levitte]
1428
1429 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
1430 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
1431 [Steve Henson]
1432
1433 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
1434 [Andy Polyakov]
1435
1436 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
1437 [Rich Salz]
1438
1439 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
1440 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
1441 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
1442 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
1443 name and is used as is.
1444 [Richard Levitte]
1445
1446 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
1447 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
1448 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
1449 [Rich Salz]
1450
1451 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
1452 the "no-shared" Configure option.
1453 [Matt Caswell]
1454
1455 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
1456 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
1457 algorithms.
1458 [Matt Caswell]
1459
1460 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
1461 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
1462 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
1463 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
1464 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
1465 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
1466 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
1467 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
1468 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
1469 [Matt Caswell]
1470
1471 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
1472 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
1473 enabled with '--debug' builds.
1474 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
1475
1476 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
1477 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1478 these have been added.
1479 [Matt Caswell]
1480
1481 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
1482 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
1483 functions for managing these have been added.
1484 [Richard Levitte]
1485
1486 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
1487 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1488 these have been added.
1489 [Matt Caswell]
1490
1491 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
1492 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
1493 have been added.
1494 [Matt Caswell]
1495
1496 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
1497 [Matt Caswell]
1498
1499 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
1500 [Richard Levitte]
1501
1502 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
1503 it is always safe to #include a header now.
1504 [Rich Salz]
1505
1506 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
1507 [Richard Levitte]
1508
1509 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
1510 [Rich Salz]
1511
1512 *) Add support for HKDF.
1513 [Alessandro Ghedini]
1514
1515 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
1516 [Bill Cox]
1517
1518 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
1519 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
1520 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
1521 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
1522 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
1523 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
1524 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
1525 [Matt Caswell]
1526
1527 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
1528 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
1529 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
1530 [Catriona Lucey]
1531
1532 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
1533 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
1534 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
1535 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
1536 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
1537 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
1538 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
1539
1540 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1541 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1542 [Todd Short]
1543
1544 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
1545 [Todd Short]
1546
1547 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
1548 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
1549 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
1550 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
1551 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
1552 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
1553 default cipherlist.
1554 [Emilia Käsper]
1555
1556 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
1557 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
1558 [Rich Salz]
1559
1560 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
1561 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
1562 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
1563 [Matt Caswell]
1564
1565 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
1566 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
1567 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
1568 implemented by other servers.
1569 [Emilia Käsper]
1570
1571 *) Add X25519 support.
1572 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
1573 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
1574 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
1575 key generation and key derivation.
1576
1577 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
1578 X25519(29).
1579 [Steve Henson]
1580
1581 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
1582 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1583 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
1584 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
1585 seed, even if the seed is configured.
1586
1587 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1588 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1589 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1590 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1591 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1592 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1593 that of a valid user.
1594 [Emilia Käsper]
1595
1596 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
1597 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
1598 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
1599 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
1600
1601 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
1602 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
1603
1604 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
1605 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
1606 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
1607 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
1608
1609 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
1610 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
1611 irrelevant.
1612 [Richard Levitte]
1613
1614 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
1615 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
1616 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
1617 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
1618 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
1619 of how OpenSSL was configured.
1620
1621 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
1622 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
1623 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
1624 [Richard Levitte]
1625
1626 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
1627 [Rich Salz]
1628
1629 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
1630 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
1631 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
1632 removed.
1633 [Richard Levitte]
1634
1635 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
1636 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
1637 old #define's might need to be updated.
1638 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
1639
1640 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
1641 [Rich Salz]
1642
1643 *) New "unified" build system
1644
1645 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
1646 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
1647
1648 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
1649 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
1650 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
1651
1652 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
1653 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
1654 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
1655 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
1656 descrip.mms.tmpl.
1657
1658 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
1659 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
1660 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
1661 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
1662 libraries" in INSTALL.
1663
1664 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
1665 [Richard Levitte]
1666
1667 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
1668 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
1669 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
1670 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
1671 [Matt Caswell]
1672
1673 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
1674 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
1675
1676 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
1677 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
1678 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
1679 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
1680 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
1681 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
1682 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
1683 have been adapted accordingly.
1684 [Richard Levitte]
1685
1686 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
1687 the leading 0-byte.
1688 [Emilia Käsper]
1689
1690 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
1691 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
1692 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
1693 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
1694 [Emilia Käsper]
1695
1696 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
1697 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
1698 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
1699 'unsigned char*'.
1700 [Emilia Käsper]
1701
1702 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
1703 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
1704 [Emilia Käsper]
1705
1706 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
1707 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
1708 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
1709 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
1710 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
1711 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
1712 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
1713
1714 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
1715 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
1716
1717 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
1718 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
1719 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
1720 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
1721 Text::Template.
1722
1723 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
1724 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
1725 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
1726 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
1727 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
1728 %target).
1729 [Richard Levitte]
1730
1731 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
1732 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
1733 straightforward and less interdependent.
1734
1735 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
1736 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
1737 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
1738
1739 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
1740 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
1741 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
1742 installed.
1743 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
1744 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
1745 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
1746 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
1747
1748 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
1749 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
1750 [Richard Levitte]
1751
1752 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
1753 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
1754 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
1755 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
1756 is present).
1757 [Matt Caswell]
1758
1759 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
1760 configuring.
1761 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
1762
1763 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
1764 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
1765 before trying to build now.*
1766 [Rich Salz]
1767
1768 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
1769 has changed.
1770 [Rich Salz]
1771
1772 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
1773
1774 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
1775 the application's responsibility. The application provides
1776 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
1777 used to authenticate the peer.
1778
1779 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
1780 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
1781 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
1782 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
1783 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
1784 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1785
1786 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
1787 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
1788 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
1789 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
1790 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
1791 or the 1.1.0 releases.
1792
1793 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
1794 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
1795 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
1796 support for the deprecated features from the library and
1797 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
1798 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
1799 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
1800 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
1801 version.
1802
1803 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
1804 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
1805 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
1806 compile with later releases.
1807
1808 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
1809 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
1810 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
1811 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
1812 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
1813 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1814
1815 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
1816 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
1817 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
1818 MaxProtocol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
1819 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
1820 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
1821 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
1822 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
1823 [Kurt Roeckx]
1824
1825 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
1826 [Andy Polyakov]
1827
1828 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
1829 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
1830 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
1831 ECDSA_SIG format.
1832
1833 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
1834 include the ec.h header file instead.
1835 [Steve Henson]
1836
1837 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
1838 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
1839 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
1840 [Kurt Roeckx]
1841
1842 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
1843 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
1844 were added:
1845
1846 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
1847 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
1848
1849 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
1850 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
1851 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
1852
1853 Additional changes:
1854 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
1855 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
1856 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
1857 an already created structure.
1858 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
1859 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
1860 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
1861 for deprecated builds.
1862 [Richard Levitte]
1863
1864 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
1865 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
1866 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
1867 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
1868 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
1869 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
1870 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
1871 [Matt Caswell]
1872
1873 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
1874 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
1875 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
1876 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
1877 [Kurt Roeckx]
1878
1879 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
1880 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
1881 [Kurt Roeckx]
1882
1883 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
1884 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
1885 [Kurt Roeckx]
1886
1887 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
1888 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
1889 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
1890 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
1891 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
1892 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
1893 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
1894 also been removed.
1895 [Matt Caswell]
1896
1897 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
1898 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
1899 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
1900 [Rich Salz]
1901
1902 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
1903 [Rich Salz]
1904
1905 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
1906 sureware and ubsec.
1907 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
1908
1909 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
1910
1911 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
1912 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
1913
1914 FOO *x;
1915
1916 it must be:
1917
1918 FOO x;
1919
1920 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
1921 set a mandatory field to NULL.
1922
1923 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
1924 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
1925 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
1926 SEQUENCE OF.
1927 [Steve Henson]
1928
1929 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
1930 [Emilia Käsper]
1931
1932 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
1933 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
1934 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
1935 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
1936 [Matt Caswell]
1937
1938 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1939 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
1940 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
1941 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
1942 [Emilia Käsper]
1943
1944 *) Fix no-stdio build.
1945 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
1946 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
1947
1948 *) New testing framework
1949 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
1950 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
1951 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
1952 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
1953 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
1954 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
1955
1956 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
1957
1958 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
1959 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
1960
1961 [Richard Levitte]
1962
1963 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
1964 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
1965 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
1966 and others were changed. All are now documented.
1967 [Rich Salz]
1968
1969 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
1970 return an error
1971 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
1972
1973 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
1974 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
1975
1976 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
1977 original RSA_PSK patch.
1978 [Steve Henson]
1979
1980 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
1981 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
1982 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
1983 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
1984 [Matt Caswell]
1985
1986 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
1987 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
1988 [Richard Levitte]
1989
1990 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
1991 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
1992 hasn't been working properly for a while.
1993 [Emilia Käsper]
1994
1995 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
1996 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
1997 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
1998 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
1999 transferred.
2000 [Matt Caswell]
2001
2002 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
2003 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
2004 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
2005 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
2006 [Matt Caswell]
2007
2008 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
2009 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
2010 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
2011 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
2012 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
2013 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
2014 [Matt Caswell]
2015
2016 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
2017 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
2018 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
2019 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
2020 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
2021 header file has been removed.
2022 [Matt Caswell]
2023
2024 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
2025 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
2026 [Matt Caswell]
2027
2028 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
2029 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
2030 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
2031
2032 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
2033 Added a test.
2034 [Rich Salz]
2035
2036 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
2037 [Rich Salz]
2038
2039 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
2040 sha256
2041 [Rich Salz]
2042
2043 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
2044 [Matt Caswell]
2045
2046 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
2047 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
2048 initial patch which was a great help during development.
2049 [Steve Henson]
2050
2051 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
2052 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
2053 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
2054 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
2055 [Matt Caswell]
2056
2057 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
2058 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
2059 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
2060 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
2061 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
2062 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
2063 [Matt Caswell]
2064
2065 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
2066 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
2067 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
2068 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
2069 [Matt Caswell]
2070
2071 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
2072 compatible client hello.
2073 [Kurt Roeckx]
2074
2075 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
2076 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
2077 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
2078
2079 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
2080 [Rich Salz]
2081
2082 *) Removed old DES API.
2083 [Rich Salz]
2084
2085 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
2086 Sony NEWS4
2087 BEOS and BEOS_R5
2088 NeXT
2089 SUNOS
2090 MPE/iX
2091 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
2092 DGUX
2093 NCR
2094 Tandem
2095 Cray
2096 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
2097 [Rich Salz]
2098
2099 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
2100 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
2101 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
2102 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
2103 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
2104 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
2105 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
2106 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
2107 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
2108 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
2109 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
2110 [Rich Salz]
2111
2112 *) Cleaned up dead code
2113 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
2114 [Rich Salz]
2115
2116 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
2117 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
2118 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
2119 [Rich Salz]
2120
2121 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
2122 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
2123 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
2124 [Rich Salz]
2125
2126 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
2127 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
2128 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
2129
2130 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
2131 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
2132 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
2133
2134 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2135 compilation flags.
2136 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2137
2138 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2139 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
2140 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2141
2142 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2143 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2144
2145 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2146 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2147 server.
2148
2149 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2150 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
2151 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2152 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2153
2154 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2155 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2156 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2157 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2158
2159 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2160 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2161 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2162
2163 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2164 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2165 [Steve Henson]
2166
2167 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
2168
2169 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
2170 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
2171
2172 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
2173 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
2174
2175 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
2176 effect.
2177
2178 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
2179
2180 [Steve Henson]
2181
2182 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2183 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2184 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2185 algorithms and include tests cases.
2186 [Steve Henson]
2187
2188 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
2189 enveloped data.
2190 [Steve Henson]
2191
2192 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2193 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2194 [Steve Henson]
2195
2196 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2197 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2198
2199 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
2200 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
2201 [Steve Henson]
2202
2203 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
2204 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
2205 failures.
2206 [Steve Henson]
2207
2208 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
2209 sign or verify all in one operation.
2210 [Steve Henson]
2211
2212 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
2213 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
2214 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
2215 [Steve Henson]
2216
2217 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
2218 [Steve Henson]
2219
2220 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
2221 [Steve Henson]
2222
2223 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
2224 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
2225 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
2226 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
2227 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
2228 [Steve Henson]
2229
2230 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
2231 based on NID.
2232 [Steve Henson]
2233
2234 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
2235 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
2236 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
2237 [Steve Henson]
2238
2239 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
2240 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
2241
2242 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
2243 POST to handle HMAC cases.
2244 [Steve Henson]
2245
2246 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
2247 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
2248 [Steve Henson]
2249
2250 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
2251 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
2252 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2253 [Steve Henson]
2254
2255 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
2256 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
2257 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
2258 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
2259 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
2260 requested amount of entropy.
2261 [Steve Henson]
2262
2263 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
2264 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
2265 [Steve Henson]
2266
2267 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
2268 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
2269 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
2270 support.
2271 [Steve Henson]
2272
2273 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
2274 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
2275 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
2276 [Steve Henson]
2277
2278 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
2279 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
2280 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
2281 will never use XTS mode.
2282 [Steve Henson]
2283
2284 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
2285 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
2286 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
2287 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
2288 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
2289 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
2290 [Steve Henson]
2291
2292 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
2293 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
2294 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
2295 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
2296 [Steve Henson]
2297
2298 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
2299 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
2300 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
2301 [Steve Henson]
2302
2303 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
2304 [Steve Henson]
2305
2306 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
2307 [Steve Henson]
2308
2309 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
2310 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
2311 [Steve Henson]
2312
2313 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
2314 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
2315 [Steve Henson]
2316
2317 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
2318 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
2319 [Steve Henson]
2320
2321 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
2322 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
2323 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
2324 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
2325 and rename any affected symbols.
2326 [Steve Henson]
2327
2328 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
2329 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
2330 [Steve Henson]
2331
2332 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
2333 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
2334 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
2335 [Steve Henson]
2336
2337 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2338 [Steve Henson]
2339
2340 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
2341 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
2342 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
2343 [Steve Henson]
2344
2345 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
2346 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
2347 [Steve Henson]
2348
2349 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
2350 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
2351 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
2352 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
2353 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
2354 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
2355 set before the key.
2356 [Steve Henson]
2357
2358 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
2359 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
2360 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
2361 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
2362 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
2363 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
2364 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
2365 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
2366 [Steve Henson]
2367
2368 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
2369 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
2370 [Steve Henson]
2371
2372 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
2373
2374 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2375 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2376
2377 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
2378 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
2379 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
2380 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
2381 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
2382 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
2383
2384 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
2385 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
2386 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
2387 security.
2388 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
2389
2390 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
2391 parameters by name.
2392 [Steve Henson]
2393
2394 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
2395 Add CMAC pkey methods.
2396 [Steve Henson]
2397
2398 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
2399 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
2400 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
2401 [Steve Henson]
2402
2403 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
2404 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
2405 multi-process servers.
2406 [Steve Henson]
2407
2408 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
2409 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
2410 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
2411 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
2412 RAND_METHOD structure.
2413 [Steve Henson]
2414
2415 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
2416 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
2417 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
2418 whose return value is often ignored.
2419 [Steve Henson]
2420
2421 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
2422 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
2423 validated when establishing a connection.
2424 [Rob Percival <robpercival@google.com>]
2425
2426 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
2427
2428 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
2429
2430 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
2431 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
2432 AES-NI.
2433
2434 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
2435 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
2436 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
2437 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
2438 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
2439 bytes.
2440
2441 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
2442 (CVE-2016-2107)
2443 [Kurt Roeckx]
2444
2445 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
2446
2447 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
2448 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
2449 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
2450 corruption.
2451
2452 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
2453 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
2454 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
2455 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
2456 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
2457 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
2458
2459 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2460 (CVE-2016-2105)
2461 [Matt Caswell]
2462
2463 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
2464
2465 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
2466 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
2467 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
2468 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
2469 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
2470 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
2471 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
2472 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
2473 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
2474 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
2475 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
2476 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
2477 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
2478 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
2479 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
2480 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.

2483 (CVE-2016-2106)
2484 [Matt Caswell]
2485
2486 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
2487
2488 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
2489 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
2490 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
2491
2492 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
2493 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
2494 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
2495 applications are not affected.

2499 [Stephen Henson]
2500
2501 *) EBCDIC overread
2502
2503 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
2504 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
2505 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.

2523 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
2524
2525 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
2526 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
2527 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
2528 [Viktor Dukhovni]
2529
2530 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
2531 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
2532 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
2533 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
2534 will need to explicitly call either of:
2535
2536 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2537 or
2538 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2539
2540 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
2541 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
2542 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
2543 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
2544 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.

2547
2548 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
2549
2550 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
2551 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
2552 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
2553 considered rare.
2554
2555 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
2556 libFuzzer.
2557 (CVE-2016-0705)
2558 [Stephen Henson]
2559
2560 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
2561
2562 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
2563
2564 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
2565 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
2566 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
2567 is configured.
2568
2569 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
2570 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
2571 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
2572 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
2573 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
2574 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
2575 that of a valid user.
2576 (CVE-2016-0798)
2577 [Emilia Käsper]
2578
2579 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
2580
2581 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
2582 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
2583 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
2584 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
2585 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
2586 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
2587 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
2588 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
2589 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
2590 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
2591 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
2592
2593 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
2594 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
2595 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
2596 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
2597 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
2598
2599 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
2600 (CVE-2016-0797)
2601 [Matt Caswell]
2602
2603 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
2604
2605 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
2606 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
2607 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
2608
2609 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
2610 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
2611 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
2612 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
2613 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
2614 also occur.
2615
2616 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
2617 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
2618 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
2619 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
2620 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
2621 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
2622 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
2623 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
2624 as command line arguments.
2625
2626 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
2627 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
2628 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
2629
2630 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.

2632 [Matt Caswell]
2633
2634 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
2635
2636 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
2637 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
2638 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
2639 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
2640 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
2641
2642 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
2643 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and

2652 apps to use 2048 bits by default.

2654
2655 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
2656 *) DH small subgroups
2657
2658 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
2659 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
2660 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
2661 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
2662 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
2663 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
2664 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
2665 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
2666 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
2667 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
2668
2669 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
2670 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
2671 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
2672 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
2673 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
2674
2675 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
2676 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
2677 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
2678 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
2679
2680 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
2681 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
2682
2683 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).

2686
2687 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
2688
2689 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
2690 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
2691 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
2692 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

2701 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
2702
2703 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
2704 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
2705 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
2706 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
2707 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
2708 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
2709 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
2710 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
2711 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
2712 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
2713 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
2714 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

2721
2722 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2723 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2724 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
2725 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
2726 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
2727 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
2728 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client

2759 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
2760
2761 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
2762 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
2763 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
2764 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
2765 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
2766 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.

2782
2783 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
2784 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
2785 field.
2786
2787 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
2788 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
2789 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
2790 client authentication enabled.

2797
2798 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
2799 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
2800 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
2801 time string.
2802
2803 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
2804 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
2805 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
2806 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
2807 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
2808 callbacks.

2863 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
2864
2865 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
2866
2867 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
2868 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
2869 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
2870 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
2871 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
2872 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
2873 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
2874 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
2875
2876 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
2877 (CVE-2015-0290)
2878 [Matt Caswell]
2879
2880 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
2881
2882 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
2883 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
2884 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
2885 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
2886 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
2887 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
2888 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
2889 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
2890 server.

2897
2898 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
2899 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
2900 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
2901 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any

2922
2923 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
2924 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
2925 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
2926
2927 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY

2939
2940 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or

2963 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
2964 (CVE-2015-1787)
2965 [Matt Caswell]
2966
2967 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
2968
2969 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
2970 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
2971 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
2972 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
2973 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
2974 SSL_client_methodv23)
2975 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
2976 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
2977
2978 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
2979 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
2980 output may be predictable.
2981
2982 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
2983 succeed on an unpatched platform:
2984
2985 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
2986 (CVE-2015-0285)
2987 [Matt Caswell]
2988
2989 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
2990
2991 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
2992 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
2993 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
2994 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
2995 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
2996 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
2997
2998 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
2999 commit 517073cd4b.
3000 (CVE-2015-0209)
3001 [Matt Caswell]
3002
3003 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
3004
3005 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
3006 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
3007
3008 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
3009 (CVE-2015-0288)
3010 [Stephen Henson]
3011
3012 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
3013 [Kurt Roeckx]
3014
3015 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
3016
3017 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
3018 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
3019 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
3020 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
3021 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
3022 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
3023 [Andy Polyakov]
3024
3025 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
3026 (other platforms pending).
3027 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
3028
3029 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
3030 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
3031 [Rob Stradling]
3032
3033 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
3034 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
3035 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
3036 [Bodo Moeller]
3037
3038 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
3039 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
3040 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
3041 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
3042 [Andy Polyakov]
3043
3044 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
3045 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
3046
3047 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
3048 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
3049 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
3050 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
3051 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
3052
3053 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
3054 [Andy Polyakov]
3055
3056 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
3057 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
3058 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
3059 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
3060
3061 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
3062 RSAZ.
3063 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
3064
3065 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
3066 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
3067 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
3068 for TLS encrypt.
3069
3070 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
3071 [Andy Polyakov]
3072
3073 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
3074 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
3075 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
3076 [Steve Henson]
3077
3078 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
3079 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
3080 [Steve Henson]
3081
3082 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
3083 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
3084 [Steve Henson]
3085
3086 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
3087 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
3088 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
3089 algorithms and include tests cases.
3090 [Steve Henson]
3091
3092 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
3093 structure.
3094 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
3095
3096 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
3097 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
3098 [Steve Henson]
3099
3100 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
3101 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
3102 summary of the connection parameters.
3103 [Steve Henson]
3104
3105 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
3106 of connection parameters.
3107 [Steve Henson]
3108
3109 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
3110 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
3111
3112 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
3113 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
3114 [Steve Henson]
3115
3116 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
3117 [Steve Henson]
3118
3119 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
3120 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
3121 [Steve Henson]
3122
3123 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
3124 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
3125 [Steve Henson]
3126
3127 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
3128 certificates.
3129 [Steve Henson]
3130
3131 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
3132 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
3133 CRLs using the OCSP API.
3134 [Steve Henson]
3135
3136 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
3137 [Steve Henson]
3138
3139 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
3140 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
3141 [Steve Henson]
3142
3143 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
3144 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
3145 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
3146 tracing.
3147 [Steve Henson]
3148
3149 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
3150 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
3151 [Steve Henson]
3152
3153 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
3154 OID NID.
3155 [Steve Henson]
3156
3157 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
3158 client to OpenSSL.
3159 [Steve Henson]
3160
3161 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
3162 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
3163 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
3164 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
3165 [Steve Henson]
3166
3167 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
3168 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
3169 [Steve Henson]
3170
3171 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
3172 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
3173 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
3174 comparison.
3175 [Steve Henson]
3176
3177 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
3178 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
3179 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
3180 use the certificate.
3181 [Steve Henson]
3182
3183 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
3184 [Steve Henson]
3185
3186 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
3187 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
3188 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
3189 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
3190 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
3191 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
3192 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
3193
3194 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
3195 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
3196
3197 [Steve Henson]
3198
3199 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
3200 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
3201 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
3202 [Steve Henson]
3203
3204 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
3205 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
3206 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
3207 supported signature algorithms.
3208 [Steve Henson]
3209
3210 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
3211 [Steve Henson]
3212
3213 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
3214 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
3215 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
3216 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
3217 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
3218 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
3219 certificate and specify the whole chain.
3220 [Steve Henson]
3221
3222 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
3223 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
3224 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
3225 to have similar checks in it.
3226
3227 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
3228 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
3229 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
3230 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
3231 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
3232 [Steve Henson]
3233
3234 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
3235 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
3236 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
3237 shared signature algorithms.
3238 [Steve Henson]
3239
3240 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
3241 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
3242 to support them.
3243 [Steve Henson]
3244
3245 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
3246 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
3247 it couldn't be removed.
3248 [Steve Henson]
3249
3250 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
3251 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
3252 [Steve Henson]
3253
3254 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
3255 functions. Add manual page.
3256 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
3257
3258 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
3259 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
3260 a certificate.
3261 [Steve Henson]
3262
3263 *) Fix OCSP checking.
3264 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
3265
3266 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
3267 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
3268 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
3269 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
3270 utility) or reject.
3271 [Steve Henson]
3272
3273 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
3274 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
3275 [Steve Henson]
3276
3277 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
3278 platform support for Linux and Android.
3279 [Andy Polyakov]
3280
3281 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
3282 [Andy Polyakov]
3283
3284 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
3285 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
3286 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
3287 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
3288 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
3289 [Steve Henson]
3290
3291 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
3292 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
3293 the new parameter format automatically.
3294 [Steve Henson]
3295
3296 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
3297 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
3298 [Steve Henson]
3299
3300 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
3301 [Steve Henson]
3302
3303 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
3304 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
3305 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
3306 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
3307 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
3308 [Steve Henson]
3309
3310 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
3311 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
3312 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
3313 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
3314 to set list of supported curves.
3315 [Steve Henson]
3316
3317 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
3318 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
3319 to print out received values.
3320 [Steve Henson]
3321
3322 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
3323 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
3324 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
3325 [Steve Henson]
3326
3327 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
3328 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
3329 [Steve Henson]
3330
3331 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
3332 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
3333 [Steve Henson]
3334
3335 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
3336 certificates.
3337 [Steve Henson]
3338
3339 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
3340 the certificate.
3341 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
3342 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
3343 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
3344
3345 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
3346
3347 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
3348 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
3349
3350 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
3351
3352 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
3353 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
3354 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
3355 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
3356 (CVE-2014-3571)
3357 [Steve Henson]
3358
3359 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
3360 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
3361 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
3362 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
3363 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
3364 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
3365 (CVE-2015-0206)
3366 [Matt Caswell]
3367
3368 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
3369 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
3370 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
3371 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
3372 (CVE-2014-3569)
3373 [Kurt Roeckx]
3374
3375 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
3376 ECDH ciphersuites.
3377
3378 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
3379 reporting this issue.
3380 (CVE-2014-3572)
3381 [Steve Henson]
3382
3383 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
3384 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
3385 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
3386 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
3387 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
3388 INRIA or reporting this issue.
3389 (CVE-2015-0204)
3390 [Steve Henson]
3391
3392 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
3393 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
3394 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
3395 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
3396 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
3397 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
3398 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
3399 this issue.
3400 (CVE-2015-0205)
3401 [Steve Henson]
3402
3403 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
3404 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
3405
3406 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
3407 and can vary with the CTX.
3408 [Adam Langley]
3409
3410 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
3411
3412 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
3413 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
3414 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
3415 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
3416 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
3417
3418 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
3419
3420 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
3421 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
3422
3423 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
3424
3425 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
3426 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
3427 errors for some broken certificates.
3428
3429 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
3430
3431 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
3432
3433 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
3434 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
3435
3436 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
3437 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
3438 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
3439 (negative or with leading zeroes).
3440
3441 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
3442 of the OpenSSL core team.
3443
3444 (CVE-2014-8275)
3445 [Steve Henson]
3446
3447 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
3448 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
3449 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
3450 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
3451 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
3452 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
3453 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
3454 the OpenSSL core team.
3455 (CVE-2014-3570)
3456 [Andy Polyakov]
3457
3458 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
3459 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
3460 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
3461 sanity and breaks all known clients.
3462 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
3463
3464 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
3465 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
3466 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
3467 [Emilia Käsper]
3468
3469 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
3470 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
3471 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3472 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
3473 announced in the initial ServerHello.
3474
3475 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
3476 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3477 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.

3480 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
3481
3482 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
3483
3484 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
3485 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
3486 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
3487 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
3488 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
3489 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
3490 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
3491
3492 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
3493 (CVE-2014-3513)
3494 [OpenSSL team]
3495
3496 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
3497
3498 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
3499 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
3500 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
3501 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
3502 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
3503 attack.
3504 (CVE-2014-3567)
3505 [Steve Henson]
3506
3507 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
3508
3509 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
3510 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
3511 configured to send them.
3512 (CVE-2014-3568)
3513 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
3514
3515 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
3516 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
3517 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
3518 (CVE-2014-3566)
3519 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3520
3521 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
3522
3523 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
3524 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
3525 DigestInfo structures.
3526
3527 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
3528
3529 [Steve Henson]
3530
3531 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
3532
3533 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
3534 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
3535 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
3536
3537 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
3538 Group for discovering this issue.
3539 (CVE-2014-3512)
3540 [Steve Henson]
3541
3542 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
3543 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
3544 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
3545 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
3546 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
3547
3548 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
3549 researching this issue.
3550 (CVE-2014-3511)
3551 [David Benjamin]
3552
3553 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
3554 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
3555 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
3556 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
3557
3558 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
3559 issue.
3560 (CVE-2014-3510)
3561 [Emilia Käsper]
3562
3563 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
3564 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3565 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3566 (CVE-2014-3507)
3567 [Adam Langley]
3568
3569 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
3570 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
3571 Denial of Service attack.
3572 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3573 (CVE-2014-3506)
3574 [Adam Langley]
3575
3576 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
3577 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
3578 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3579 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
3580 this issue.
3581 (CVE-2014-3505)
3582 [Adam Langley]
3583
3584 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
3585 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
3586 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
3587
3588 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
3589 issue.
3590 (CVE-2014-3509)
3591 [Gabor Tyukasz]
3592
3593 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
3594 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
3595 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
3596 Denial of Service attack.
3597
3598 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
3599 discovering and researching this issue.
3600 (CVE-2014-5139)
3601 [Steve Henson]
3602
3603 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
3604 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
3605 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
3606 output to the attacker.
3607
3608 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
3609 (CVE-2014-3508)
3610 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
3611
3612 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
3613 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
3614 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
3615 [Bodo Moeller]
3616
3617 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
3618
3619 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
3620 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
3621 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
3622
3623 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
3624 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
3625 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
3626
3627 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
3628 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
3629 in a DoS attack.
3630
3631 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
3632 (CVE-2014-0221)
3633 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
3634
3635 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
3636 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
3637 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
3638 code on a vulnerable client or server.
3639
3640 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
3641 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
3642
3643 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
3644 are subject to a denial of service attack.
3645
3646 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
3647 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
3648 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
3649
3650 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
3651 compilation flags.
3652 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3653
3654 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
3655 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
3656 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3657
3658 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
3659 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3660
3661 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
3662
3663 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
3664 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
3665 server.
3666
3667 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
3668 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
3669 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
3670 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3671
3672 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
3673 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
3674 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
3675 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
3676
3677 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
3678 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
3679 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
3680
3681 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
3682
3683 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
3684 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
3685 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
3686 is at least 512 bytes long.
3687
3688 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
3689
3690 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
3691
3692 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
3693 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
3694 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
3695 (CVE-2013-4353)
3696
3697 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
3698 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
3699 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
3700 [Steve Henson]
3701
3702 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
3703 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
3704 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
3705 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
3706 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
3707 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
3708 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
3709
3710 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
3711
3712 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
3713 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
3714 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3715
3716 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
3717
3718 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
3719
3720 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
3721 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
3722 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
3723
3724 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information

3728 (CVE-2013-0169)
3729 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3730
3731 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
3732 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
3733 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
3734 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
3735 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
3736 (CVE-2012-2686)
3737 [Adam Langley]
3738
3739 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
3740 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
3741 [Steve Henson]
3742
3743 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
3744 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3745
3746 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
3747 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
3748 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
3749 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
3750 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
3751
3752 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
3753 [Steve Henson]
3754
3755 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
3756 if renegotiating.
3757 [Steve Henson]
3758
3759 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
3760
3761 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
3762 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
3763
3764 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
3765 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
3766 (CVE-2012-2333)
3767 [Steve Henson]
3768
3769 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
3770 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
3771 [Steve Henson]
3772
3773 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
3774 approved.
3775 [Steve Henson]
3776
3777 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
3778
3779 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
3780 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
3781 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
3782 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disabling
3783 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
3784 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
3785 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
3786 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
3787 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
3788 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
3789 [Steve Henson]
3790
3791 *) In order to ensure interoperability SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
3792 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
3793 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
3794 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
3795 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
3796 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
3797 client side.
3798 [Andy Polyakov]
3799
3800 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
3801
3802 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
3803 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
3804 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
3805
3806 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
3807 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
3808 (CVE-2012-2110)
3809 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
3810
3811 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
3812 [Adam Langley]
3813
3814 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
3815 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
3816
3817 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
3818 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
3819 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
3820 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
3821 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
3822 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
3823 Most broken servers should now work.
3824 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
3825 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
3826 [Steve Henson]
3827
3828 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
3829 [Andy Polyakov]
3830
3831 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
3832
3833 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
3834 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
3835 [Steve Henson]
3836
3837 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
3838 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
3839 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
3840 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
3841 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
3842 [Steve Henson]
3843
3844 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
3845 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
3846 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
3847 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
3848 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
3849 [Steve Henson]
3850
3851 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
3852 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3853
3854 *) Add support for SCTP.
3855 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3856
3857 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3858 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3859
3860 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
3861
3862 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
3863 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
3864 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
3865 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
3866 - s390x: z196 support;
3867 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
3868
3869 [Andy Polyakov]
3870
3871 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
3872 (removal of unnecessary code)
3873 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
3874
3875 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
3876 [Eric Rescorla]
3877
3878 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
3879 [Eric Rescorla]
3880
3881 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
3882 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
3883 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
3884 by Google.
3885 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3886
3887 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
3888 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
3889 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
3890 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
3891 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
3892
3893 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
3894 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
3895 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
3896
3897 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
3898 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
3899 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
3900
3901 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
3902 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
3903 implementations).
3904 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3905
3906 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
3907 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
3908 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
3909 [Steve Henson]
3910
3911 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
3912 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
3913 particular PSS.
3914 [Steve Henson]
3915
3916 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
3917 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
3918 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
3919 [Steve Henson]
3920
3921 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
3922 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
3923 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
3924 the appropriate parameters.
3925 [Steve Henson]
3926
3927 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
3928 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
3929 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
3930 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
3931 against a number of sample certificates.
3932 [Steve Henson]
3933
3934 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
3935 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
3936
3937 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
3938 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
3939
3940 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
3941 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
3942 parameters r, s.
3943 [Steve Henson]
3944
3945 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
3946 RFC3211.
3947 [Steve Henson]
3948
3949 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
3950 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
3951 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
3952 password based CMS).
3953 [Steve Henson]
3954
3955 *) Session-handling fixes:
3956 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
3957 but also support Session Tickets.
3958 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
3959 presented a ticket with an expired session.
3960 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
3961 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
3962 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
3963 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3964
3965 *) Fix PSK session representation.
3966 [Bodo Moeller]
3967
3968 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
3969
3970 This work was sponsored by Intel.
3971 [Andy Polyakov]
3972
3973 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
3974 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
3975 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
3976 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
3977 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
3978 [Steve Henson]
3979
3980 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
3981 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
3982 [Steve Henson]
3983
3984 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
3985 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
3986 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
3987 [Steve Henson]
3988
3989 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
3990 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
3991 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
3992 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
3993 [Steve Henson]
3994
3995 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
3996 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
3997 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
3998 [Steve Henson]
3999
4000 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
4001 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
4002
4003 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
4004 [Steve Henson]
4005
4006 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
4007 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
4008 [Steve Henson]
4009
4010 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
4011 [Steve Henson]
4012
4013 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
4014 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
4015 [Steve Henson]
4016
4017 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
4018 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
4019 [Steve Henson]
4020
4021 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
4022 [Steve Henson]
4023
4024 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
4025 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
4026 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
4027 [Steve Henson]
4028
4029 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
4030 [Steve Henson]
4031
4032 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
4033 [Steve Henson]
4034
4035 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
4036 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
4037 [Steve Henson]
4038
4039 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
4040 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
4041 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
4042 [Steve Henson]
4043
4044 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
4045 [Steve Henson]
4046
4047 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
4048 and enable MD5.
4049 [Steve Henson]
4050
4051 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
4052 FIPS modules versions.
4053 [Steve Henson]
4054
4055 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
4056 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
4057 until after the certificate request message is received.
4058 [Steve Henson]
4059
4060 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
4061 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
4062 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
4063 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
4064 [Steve Henson]
4065
4066 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
4067 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
4068 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
4069 support yet and no support for client certificates.
4070 [Steve Henson]
4071
4072 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
4073 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
4074 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
4075 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
4076 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
4077 and version checking.
4078 [Steve Henson]
4079
4080 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
4081 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
4082 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
4083 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
4084 [Steve Henson]
4085
4086 *) A long standing patch to add support for SRP from EdelWeb (Peter
4087 Sylvester and Christophe Renou) was integrated.
4088 [Christophe Renou <christophe.renou@edelweb.fr>, Peter Sylvester
4089 <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>, Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu>, and
4090 Ben Laurie]
4091
4092 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
4093 [Steve Henson]
4094
4095 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
4096 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
4097 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
4098
4099 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
4100 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
4101 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
4102 [Steve Henson]
4103
4104 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
4105 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
4106
4107 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
4108 a few changes are required:
4109
4110 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
4111 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
4112 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
4113 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
4114 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
4115 [Steve Henson]
4116
4117 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
4118
4119 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
4120 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
4121 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
4122 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
4123 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
4124 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
4125 an MMA defence is not necessary.
4126 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
4127 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
4128 [Steve Henson]
4129
4130 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
4131 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
4132 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
4133 [Steve Henson]
4134
4135 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
4136
4137 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
4138 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
4139 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
4140 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
4141 [Antonio Martin]
4142
4143 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
4144
4145 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
4146 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
4147 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
4148 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
4149 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
4150 paper describing this attack can be found at:
4151 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
4152 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
4153 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
4154 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
4155 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
4156 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
4157 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
4158
4159 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
4160 (CVE-2011-4576)
4161 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4162
4163 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
4164 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
4165 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
4166 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4167
4168 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
4169 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
4170
4171 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
4172 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
4173 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
4174 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4175
4176 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
4177 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
4178
4179 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
4180 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4181
4182 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
4183 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
4184
4185 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
4186 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
4187 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4188
4189 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
4190 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
4191 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
4192
4193 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
4194 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
4195 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
4196 the last update always remained unused).
4197 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
4198
4199 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
4200 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
4201
4202 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
4203
4204 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
4205 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
4206 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
4207
4208 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
4209 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
4210 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4211
4212 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
4213 [Bodo Moeller]
4214
4215 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
4216 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
4217 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
4218 [Steve Henson]
4219
4220 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
4221 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
4222
4223 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
4224
4225 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
4226
4227 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
4228
4229 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
4230 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4231
4232 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
4233 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
4234 ambiguous.
4235 [Steve Henson]
4236
4237 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
4238
4239 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
4240 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
4241 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
4242 [Steve Henson]
4243
4244 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
4245 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
4246 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
4247 [Ben Laurie]
4248
4249 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
4250
4251 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
4252 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
4253 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
4254 [Steve Henson]
4255
4256 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
4257 a DLL.
4258 [Steve Henson]
4259
4260 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
4261
4262 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
4263 (CVE-2010-1633)
4264 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
4265
4266 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
4267
4268 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
4269 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
4270 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
4271 [Steve Henson]
4272
4273 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
4274 [Steve Henson]
4275
4276 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
4277 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
4278 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
4279
4280 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
4281 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
4282 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
4283 [Steve Henson]
4284
4285 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
4286 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
4287 [Steve Henson]
4288
4289 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
4290 some responders need this.
4291 [Steve Henson]
4292
4293 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
4294 correctly.
4295 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4296
4297 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
4298 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
4299 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
4300 [Steve Henson]
4301
4302 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
4303 [Steve Henson]
4304
4305 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
4306 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
4307 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
4308 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
4309 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
4310 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
4311 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
4312 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
4313 [Steve Henson]
4314
4315 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
4316 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
4317 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
4318 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4319
4320 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
4321 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
4322
4323 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
4324 be used on C++.
4325 [Steve Henson]
4326
4327 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
4328 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
4329 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
4330 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
4331 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
4332 attempting to work them out.
4333 [Steve Henson]
4334
4335 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
4336 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
4337 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
4338 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
4339 [Steve Henson]
4340
4341 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
4342 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
4343 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
4344 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
4345 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
4346 [Steve Henson]
4347
4348 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
4349 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
4350 you can do:
4351
4352 openssl sha256 foo
4353
4354 as well as:
4355
4356 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
4357
4358 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
4359
4360 [Steve Henson]
4361
4362 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
4363 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4364
4365 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
4366 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
4367
4368 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
4369 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
4370 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
4371 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
4372 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
4373 [Steve Henson]
4374
4375 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
4376 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
4377 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
4378 [Steve Henson]
4379
4380 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
4381 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
4382 [Steve Henson]
4383
4384 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
4385 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
4386
4387 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
4388 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
4389 [Steve Henson]
4390
4391 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
4392 [Ben Laurie]
4393
4394 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
4395 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
4396 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
4397 CONF_VALUE.
4398 [Ben Laurie]
4399
4400 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
4401 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
4402 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
4403 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
4404 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
4405 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
4406 [Steve Henson]
4407
4408 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
4409 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
4410
4411 This work was sponsored by Google.
4412 [Steve Henson]
4413
4414 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
4415 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
4416 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
4417 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
4418 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
4419 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
4420 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
4421 default.
4422
4423 This work was sponsored by Google.
4424 [Steve Henson]
4425
4426 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
4427
4428 This work was sponsored by Google.
4429 [Steve Henson]
4430
4431 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
4432 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
4433 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
4434 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.

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

8024 [Ben Laurie]
8025
8026 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
8027 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
8028
8029 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
8030 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
8031 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
8032 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
8033 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
8034 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
8035 [Steve Henson]
8036
8037 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
8038 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
8039 [Richard Levitte]
8040
8041 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
8042 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
8043 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
8044 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
8045
8046 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
8047 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
8048 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
8049 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
8050 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
8051 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
8052 callback.
8053 [Richard Levitte]
8054
8055 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
8056 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
8057 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
8058 and interrupts/cancellations.
8059 [Richard Levitte]
8060
8061 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
8062 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
8063 [Steve Henson]
8064
8065 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
8066 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
8067 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
8068
8069 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
8070 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
8071 kind of callback.
8072 [Richard Levitte]
8073
8074 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
8075 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
8076 than this minimum value is recommended.
8077 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8078
8079 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
8080 that are easily reachable.
8081 [Richard Levitte]
8082
8083 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
8084 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
8085
8086 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
8087
8088 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
8089 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
8090 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
8091 needed for static libraries under Win32.
8092 [Steve Henson]
8093
8094 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
8095 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
8096 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
8097 [Steve Henson]
8098
8099 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
8100 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
8101 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
8102 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
8103 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
8104 internally such as S/MIME.
8105
8106 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
8107 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
8108 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
8109
8110 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
8111 applications.
8112 [Steve Henson]
8113
8114 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
8115 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
8116 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
8117 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
8118
8119 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
8120
8121 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
8122
8123 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
8124 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
8125 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
8126 handling.
8127 [Steve Henson]
8128
8129 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
8130 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
8131 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
8132 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
8133 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
8134 a window system and the like.
8135 [Richard Levitte]
8136
8137 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
8138 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
8139 [Geoff]
8140
8141 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
8142 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
8143 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
8144 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
8145 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
8146 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
8147 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
8148 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
8149 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
8150 ENGINE structure.
8151 [Geoff]
8152
8153 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
8154 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
8155 tag cache.
8156 [Steve Henson]
8157
8158 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
8159 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
8160 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
8161 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
8162 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
8163 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
8164 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
8165 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
8166 [Geoff]
8167
8168 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
8169 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
8170 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
8171 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
8172 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
8173 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
8174 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
8175 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
8176 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
8177 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
8178 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
8179 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
8180 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
8181 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
8182 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
8183 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
8184 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
8185 [Geoff]
8186
8187 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
8188 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
8189 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
8190 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
8191 internal engine_int.h header.
8192 [Geoff]
8193
8194 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
8195 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
8196 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
8197 modify their own ones).
8198 [Geoff]
8199
8200 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
8201 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
8202 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
8203 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
8204 later on via ctrl() commands.
8205 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
8206 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
8207 structural references.
8208 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
8209 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
8210 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
8211 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
8212 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
8213 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
8214 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
8215 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
8216 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
8217 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
8218 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
8219 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
8220 [Geoff]
8221
8222 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
8223 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
8224 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
8225 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
8226 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
8227 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
8228 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
8229 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
8230 [Bodo Moeller]
8231
8232 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
8233 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
8234 [Steve Henson]
8235
8236 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
8237 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
8238 [Steve Henson]
8239
8240 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
8241 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
8242 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
8243 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
8244 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
8245 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
8246 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
8247 [Steve Henson]
8248
8249 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
8250 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
8251 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
8252 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
8253 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
8254
8255 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
8256 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
8257 generator).
8258 [Bodo Moeller]
8259
8260 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
8261
8262 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
8263 operations and provides various method functions that can also
8264 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
8265
8266 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
8267 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
8268
8269 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
8270 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
8271 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
8272
8273 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
8274 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
8275
8276 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
8277 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
8278
8279 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
8280
8281 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
8282 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
8283 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
8284 [Bodo Moeller]
8285
8286 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
8287 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
8288 [Richard Levitte]
8289
8290 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
8291 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
8292 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
8293 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
8294 is 40 of more characters long.
8295 [Steve Henson]
8296
8297 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
8298 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
8299 pointers.
8300 [Steve Henson]
8301
8302 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
8303 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
8304 [Bodo Moeller]
8305
8306 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
8307 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
8308 might.
8309 [Steve Henson]
8310
8311 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
8312
8313 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
8314 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
8315
8316 ASN1 error codes
8317 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
8318 ...
8319 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
8320 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
8321 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
8322 ...
8323 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
8324 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
8325
8326 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
8327 [Bodo Moeller]
8328
8329 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
8330 suffices.
8331 [Bodo Moeller]
8332
8333 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
8334 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
8335 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
8336 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
8337 and
8338 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
8339
8340 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
8341 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
8342
8343 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
8344 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
8345 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
8346 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
8347 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
8348 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
8349
8350 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
8351 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
8352
8353 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
8354 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
8355
8356 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
8357 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
8358
8359 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
8360 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
8361 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
8362 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
8363
8364 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
8365 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
8366
8367 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
8368 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
8369
8370 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
8371 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
8372 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
8373 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
8374 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
8375 [Richard Levitte]
8376
8377 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
8378 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
8379 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
8380 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
8381 [Steve Henson]
8382
8383 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
8384 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
8385 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
8386 trust settings.
8387 [Steve Henson]
8388
8389 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
8390 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
8391 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
8392 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
8393 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
8394 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
8395 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
8396 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
8397 ocsp utility.
8398 [Steve Henson]
8399
8400 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
8401 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
8402 [Steve Henson]
8403
8404 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
8405 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
8406 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
8407 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
8408 [Steve Henson]
8409
8410 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
8411 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
8412 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
8413 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
8414 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
8415 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
8416 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
8417 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
8418 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
8419 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
8420 [Steve Henson]
8421
8422 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
8423 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
8424 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
8425 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
8426 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
8427 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
8428 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
8429 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8430
8431 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
8432 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
8433 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
8434 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
8435 [Richard Levitte]
8436
8437 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
8438 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
8439 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
8440 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
8441 opensslconf.h.
8442 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
8443 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
8444 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
8445 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
8446 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
8447 what is available.
8448 [Richard Levitte]
8449
8450 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
8451 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
8452 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
8453 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
8454 auto incremented.
8455 [Steve Henson]
8456
8457 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
8458 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
8459 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
8460 [Steve Henson]
8461
8462 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
8463 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
8464 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
8465 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
8466 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
8467 [Steve Henson]
8468
8469 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
8470 [Steve Henson]
8471
8472 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
8473 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
8474 option to ocsp utility.
8475 [Steve Henson]
8476
8477 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
8478 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
8479 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
8480 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
8481 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
8482 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
8483 the request is nonce-less.
8484 [Steve Henson]
8485
8486 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
8487 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
8488 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
8489 [Bodo Moeller]
8490
8491 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
8492 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
8493 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
8494 [Steve Henson]
8495
8496 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
8497 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
8498 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
8499 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
8500 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
8501 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8502
8503 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
8504 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
8505 appear to exist.
8506 [Steve Henson]
8507
8508 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
8509 additional certificates supplied.
8510 [Steve Henson]
8511
8512 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
8513 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
8514 signature against.
8515 [Richard Levitte]
8516
8517 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
8518 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
8519 AES OIDs.
8520
8521 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
8522 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
8523 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
8524 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
8525 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
8526 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
8527 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
8528 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
8529 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
8530
8531 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
8532 request to response.
8533 [Steve Henson]
8534
8535 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
8536 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
8537 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
8538 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
8539 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
8540 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
8541 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
8542 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
8543 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
8544 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
8545 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
8546 [Steve Henson]
8547
8548 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
8549 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
8550 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
8551 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
8552 [Steve Henson]
8553
8554 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
8555 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8556
8557 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
8558 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
8559 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
8560 [Steve Henson]
8561
8562 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
8563 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
8564 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
8565 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8566 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8567
8568 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
8569 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
8570 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
8571 [Steve Henson]
8572
8573 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
8574 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
8575 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
8576 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
8577 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
8578 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
8579 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8580 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8581
8582 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
8583 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
8584 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
8585 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
8586 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
8587 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
8588 [Steve Henson]
8589
8590 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
8591 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
8592 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
8593 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
8594 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
8595 printout format cleaned up.
8596 [Steve Henson]
8597
8598 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
8599 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
8600 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
8601 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
8602 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
8603 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
8604 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
8605 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
8606 [Steve Henson]
8607
8608 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
8609 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
8610 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
8611 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
8612 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
8613 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
8614 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
8615 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
8616 [Steve Henson]
8617
8618 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
8619 extensions from a separate configuration file.
8620 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
8621 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
8622 section to use.
8623 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8624
8625 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
8626 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
8627 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
8628 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
8629 [Steve Henson]
8630
8631 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
8632 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
8633 the given serial number (according to the index file).
8634 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
8635 in the index file.
8636 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8637
8638 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
8639 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
8640 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
8641 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8642
8643 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
8644 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
8645
8646 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
8647 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
8648 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
8649 [Steve Henson]
8650
8651 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
8652 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
8653 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
8654 [Bodo Moeller]
8655
8656 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
8657 file name and line number information in additional arguments
8658 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
8659 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
8660 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
8661 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
8662 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
8663 functions are provided:
8664
8665 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
8666 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
8667 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
8668 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
8669
8670 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
8671 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
8672 extended allocation function is enabled.
8673 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
8674 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
8675 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
8676
8677 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
8678 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
8679 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
8680 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
8681 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
8682 [Geoff Thorpe]
8683
8684 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
8685 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
8686 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
8687 be queried.
8688 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
8689 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
8690 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
8691 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8692
8693 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
8694 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
8695 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
8696 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
8697 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
8698 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
8699 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
8700 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
8701 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
8702 [Richard Levitte]
8703
8704 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
8705 provide utility functions which an application needing
8706 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
8707 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
8708 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
8709
8710 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
8711 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
8712 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
8713 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
8714 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
8715 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
8716 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
8717 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
8718 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
8719
8720 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
8721 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
8722 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
8723 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
8724 [Steve Henson]
8725
8726 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
8727 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
8728 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
8729 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
8730 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
8731 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
8732 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
8733 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
8734 will be added elsewhere.
8735 [Steve Henson]
8736
8737 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
8738 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
8739 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
8740 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
8741 [Steve Henson]
8742
8743 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
8744 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
8745 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
8746 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
8747 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
8748 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
8749 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
8750 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
8751 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
8752 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
8753 to produce the required SET OF.
8754 [Steve Henson]
8755
8756 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
8757 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
8758 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
8759 [Richard Levitte]
8760
8761 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
8762 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
8763 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
8764 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
8765 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
8766 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
8767 [Steve Henson]
8768
8769 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
8770 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
8771 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
8772 [Steve Henson]
8773
8774 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
8775 lines, recognize more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
8776 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
8777 [Richard Levitte]
8778
8779 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
8780 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
8781 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
8782 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
8783 code will still work when these eventually go away.
8784 [Steve Henson]
8785
8786 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
8787 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
8788 [Steve Henson]
8789
8790 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
8791 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
8792 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
8793 certificates and CRLs.
8794 [Steve Henson]
8795
8796 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
8797 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
8798 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
8799 [Steve Henson]
8800
8801 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
8802 entries for variables.
8803 [Steve Henson]
8804
8805 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
8806 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
8807 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
8808 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
8809 [Bodo Moeller]
8810
8811 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
8812 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
8813 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
8814 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
8815 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
8816 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
8817 [Bodo Moeller]
8818
8819 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
8820 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
8821
8822 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
8823 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
8824 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
8825 [Steve Henson]
8826
8827 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
8828 print routines.
8829 [Steve Henson]
8830
8831 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
8832 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
8833 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
8834 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
8835 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
8836 order did not reflect the encoded order.
8837 [Steve Henson]
8838
8839 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
8840 [Steve Henson]
8841
8842 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
8843 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
8844 for now but they will eventually go away.
8845 [Steve Henson]
8846
8847 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
8848 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
8849 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
8850 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
8851 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
8852 has also been converted to the new form.
8853 [Steve Henson]
8854
8855 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
8856 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
8857 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
8858 for negative moduli.
8859 [Bodo Moeller]
8860
8861 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
8862 of not touching the result's sign bit.
8863 [Bodo Moeller]
8864
8865 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
8866 set.
8867 [Bodo Moeller]
8868
8869 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
8870 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
8871 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
8872 type-specific callbacks.
8873 [Geoff Thorpe]
8874
8875 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
8876 RFC 2712.
8877 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
8878 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
8879
8880 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
8881 in sections depending on the subject.
8882 [Richard Levitte]
8883
8884 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
8885 Windows.
8886 [Richard Levitte]
8887
8888 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
8889 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
8890 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
8891 be handled deterministically).
8892 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8893
8894 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
8895 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
8896 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
8897 [Bodo Moeller]
8898
8899 *) New function BN_kronecker.
8900 [Bodo Moeller]
8901
8902 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
8903 positive unless both parameters are zero.
8904 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
8905 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
8906 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
8907 [Bodo Moeller]
8908
8909 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
8910 sign of the number in question.
8911
8912 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
8913
8914 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
8915 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
8916 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
8917 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
8918 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
8919 [Bodo Moeller]
8920
8921 *) New function BN_swap.
8922 [Bodo Moeller]
8923
8924 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
8925 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
8926 results on negative inputs.
8927 [Bodo Moeller]
8928
8929 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
8930 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
8931 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
8932 [Bodo Moeller]
8933
8934 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
8935 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
8936 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
8937 and add new functions:
8938
8939 BN_nnmod
8940 BN_mod_sqr
8941 BN_mod_add
8942 BN_mod_add_quick
8943 BN_mod_sub
8944 BN_mod_sub_quick
8945 BN_mod_lshift1
8946 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
8947 BN_mod_lshift
8948 BN_mod_lshift_quick
8949
8950 These functions always generate non-negative results.
8951
8952 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
8953 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
8954
8955 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
8956 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
8957 be reduced modulo m.
8958 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8959
8960 #if 0
8961 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
8962 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
8963 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
8964
8965 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
8966 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
8967 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
8968 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
8969 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
8970 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
8971 differing sizes.
8972 [Richard Levitte]
8973 #endif
8974
8975 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
8976 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
8977 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
8978 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
8979 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
8980
8981 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
8982 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
8983 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
8984 cause any problems.
8985 [Bodo Moeller]
8986
8987 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
8988 [Richard Levitte]
8989
8990 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
8991 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
8992 [Richard Levitte]
8993
8994 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
8995 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
8996 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
8997 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
8998 time)
8999 [Richard Levitte]
9000
9001 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
9002 [Richard Levitte]
9003
9004 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
9005 [Richard Levitte]
9006
9007 *) Add the following functions:
9008
9009 ENGINE_load_cswift()
9010 ENGINE_load_chil()
9011 ENGINE_load_atalla()
9012 ENGINE_load_nuron()
9013 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
9014
9015 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
9016 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
9017 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
9018 libraries unless it's really needed.
9019
9020 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
9021 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
9022 declarations (they differed!).
9023 [Richard Levitte]
9024
9025 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
9026 [Richard Levitte]
9027
9028 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
9029 [Richard Levitte]
9030
9031 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
9032 [Bodo Moeller]
9033
9034 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
9035 identity, and test if they are actually available.
9036 [Richard Levitte]
9037
9038 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
9039 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
9040 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
9041
9042 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
9043 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
9044 [Richard Levitte]
9045
9046 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
9047 [Richard Levitte]
9048
9049 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
9050 [Richard Levitte]
9051
9052 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
9053 [Ben Laurie]
9054
9055 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
9056 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
9057 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
9058
9059 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
9060 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
9061 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
9062 different shared library filenames on each system.
9063 [Geoff Thorpe]
9064
9065 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
9066 [Richard Levitte]
9067
9068 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
9069 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
9070 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
9071 of two sections.
9072 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
9073
9074 *) NCONF changes.
9075 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
9076 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
9077 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
9078 binary backward compatibility.
9079 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
9080 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
9081 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
9082 LDAP server.
9083 [Richard Levitte]
9084
9085 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
9086 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
9087 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
9088 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
9089 this case.
9090 [Steve Henson]
9091
9092 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
9093 [Ben Laurie]
9094
9095 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
9096 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
9097 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
9098 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
9099 set.
9100 [Steve Henson]
9101
9102 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
9103 [Richard Levitte]
9104
9105 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
9106
9107 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
9108 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
9109 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
9110
9111 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
9112
9113 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
9114
9115 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
9116 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
9117 [Steve Henson]
9118
9119 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
9120
9121 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
9122
9123 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
9124 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
9125
9126 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
9127 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
9128
9129 [Steve Henson]
9130
9131 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
9132 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
9133 specifications.
9134 [Steve Henson]
9135
9136 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
9137 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
9138 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
9139 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
9140
9141 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
9142 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
9143 [Richard Levitte]
9144
9145 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
9146
9147 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
9148 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
9149 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
9150 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
9151 [Bodo Moeller]
9152
9153 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
9154 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
9155 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
9156 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
9157 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
9158
9159 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
9160 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
9161 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
9162 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
9163 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
9164 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
9165 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
9166 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
9167 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
9168 [Bodo Moeller]
9169
9170 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
9171
9172 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
9173 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
9174 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
9175 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
9176 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
9177
9178 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
9179 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
9180 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
9181
9182 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
9183
9184 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
9185 memory from its contents. This is done with a counter that will
9186 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
9187 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
9188 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
9189 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
9190 [Geoff Thorpe]
9191
9192 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
9193 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
9194 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
9195 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
9196 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
9197 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9198
9199 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
9200 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
9201 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
9202
9203 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
9204 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
9205 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
9206 EVP_cleanup().
9207 [Richard Levitte]
9208
9209 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
9210 being properly terminated.
9211 [Richard Levitte]
9212
9213 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
9214 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
9215 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
9216 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
9217
9218 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
9219 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
9220 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
9221 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
9222 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
9223 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
9224 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
9225 change.
9226 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
9227
9228 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
9229 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
9230 [Bodo Moeller]
9231
9232 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
9233 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
9234 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
9235 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
9236 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
9237 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
9238 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
9239 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
9240
9241 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
9242 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
9243 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
9244 (see [openssl.org #212]).
9245 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
9246
9247 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
9248 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
9249 [Steve Henson]
9250
9251 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
9252
9253 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
9254 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
9255 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
9256
9257 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
9258
9259 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
9260 and get fix the header length calculation.
9261 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
9262 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
9263 Steve Henson]
9264
9265 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
9266 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
9267 assertions could call abort()).
9268 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
9269
9270 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
9271
9272 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
9273 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
9274 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
9275 supplied buffer.
9276 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
9277
9278 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
9279 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
9280 by the selection routines (PR #130).
9281 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9282
9283 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
9284 [Nils Larsch]
9285
9286 *) New option
9287 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
9288 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
9289 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
9290
9291 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
9292 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
9293 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
9294 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
9295 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
9296 applications.
9297 [Bodo Moeller]
9298
9299 *) Changes in security patch:
9300
9301 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
9302 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
9303 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
9304 F30602-01-2-0537.
9305
9306 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
9307 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
9308 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
9309 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
9310 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
9311
9312 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
9313 happen in practice.
9314 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9315
9316 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
9317 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
9318 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
9319
9320 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
9321 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
9322 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9323
9324 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
9325 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
9326 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9327
9328 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
9329
9330 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
9331 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
9332 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
9333
9334 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
9335 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
9336
9337 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
9338 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
9339 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
9340 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
9341 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
9342 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
9343 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9344
9345 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
9346 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
9347 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
9348 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
9349 [Bodo Moeller]
9350
9351 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
9352 [Bodo Moeller]
9353
9354 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
9355 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
9356 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
9357 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
9358 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
9359 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9360
9361 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
9362 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
9363 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
9364 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
9365 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
9366 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9367
9368 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
9369 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
9370 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
9371 BN_generate_prime().)
9372
9373 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
9374 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
9375 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
9376 better.
9377 [Bodo Moeller]
9378
9379 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
9380 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
9381 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9382
9383 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
9384 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
9385 when using non-blocking I/O.
9386 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
9387
9388 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
9389 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
9390
9391 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
9392 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
9393 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9394
9395 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
9396 configuration for the versions before that.
9397 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
9398
9399 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
9400 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
9401 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
9402 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
9403 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9404
9405 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
9406 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
9407 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
9408 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9409
9410 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
9411 value is 0.
9412 [Richard Levitte]
9413
9414 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
9415 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
9416 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
9417
9418 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
9419 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
9420
9421 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
9422 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
9423 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
9424 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
9425 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
9426 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
9427 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
9428 session cache.
9429
9430 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
9431 using a local variable.
9432 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
9433
9434 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
9435 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
9436 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
9437
9438 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
9439 [Richard Levitte]
9440
9441 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
9442 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
9443
9444 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
9445 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
9446 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
9447
9448 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
9449
9450 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
9451 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
9452 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
9453 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
9454 [Bodo Moeller]
9455
9456 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
9457 present.
9458 [Steve Henson]
9459
9460 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
9461 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
9462 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
9463 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
9464 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
9465
9466 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
9467 returns early because it has nothing to do.
9468 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9469
9470 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9471 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
9472 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9473
9474 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9475 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
9476 (Use engine 'keyclient')
9477 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
9478
9479 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
9480 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
9481 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
9482 modules).
9483 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
9484
9485 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9486 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
9487 from 0.9.7.
9488 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
9489
9490 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9491 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
9492 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
9493 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
9494
9495 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9496 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
9497 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
9498 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
9499
9500 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
9501 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
9502
9503 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
9504 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
9505 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
9506 [Bodo Moeller]
9507
9508 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
9509 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
9510 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
9511 become invalid.
9512 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
9513
9514 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
9515 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
9516 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
9517 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
9518 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
9519 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
9520 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
9521 [Bodo Moeller]
9522
9523 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
9524 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
9525 one of the SSL handshake functions.
9526 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
9527
9528 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
9529 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
9530 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
9531 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
9532 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
9533 the client will at least see that alert.
9534 [Bodo Moeller]
9535
9536 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
9537 correctly.
9538 [Bodo Moeller]
9539
9540 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
9541 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
9542 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9543
9544 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
9545 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
9546 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
9547 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
9548 HelloRequest.
9549
9550 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
9551 before just sending a HelloRequest.
9552 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
9553
9554 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
9555 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
9556 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
9557 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
9558 may leak via logfiles.)
9559
9560 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
9561 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
9562 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
9563 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
9564 the legal range.
9565 [Bodo Moeller]
9566
9567 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
9568 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
9569 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9570
9571 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
9572 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
9573 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
9574 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
9575 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
9576 [Bodo Moeller]
9577
9578 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
9579 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
9580
9581 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
9582 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
9583 followed by modular reduction.
9584 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
9585
9586 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
9587 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
9588 [Bodo Moeller]
9589
9590 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
9591 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
9592 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
9593 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
9594 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9595
9596 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
9597 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9598
9599 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
9600 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
9601 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9602
9603 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
9604 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
9605 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
9606 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
9607 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
9608 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
9609 automatically.
9610 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
9611
9612 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
9613 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
9614 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
9615 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
9616 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
9617
9618 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
9619 [Andy Polyakov]
9620
9621 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
9622 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
9623 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
9624 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
9625 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
9626 to allow the necessary settings.
9627 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9628
9629 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
9630 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
9631 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
9632 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
9633 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9634
9635 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
9636 dh->length and always used
9637
9638 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
9639
9640 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
9641 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
9642 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
9643 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
9644 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
9645 dh->length.
9646
9647 So switch back to
9648
9649 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
9650
9651 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
9652 otherwise.
9653 [Bodo Moeller]
9654
9655 *) In
9656
9657 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
9658 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
9659 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
9660 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
9661
9662 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
9663 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
9664 always reject numbers >= n.
9665 [Bodo Moeller]
9666
9667 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
9668 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
9669 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
9670 variable) is not atomic.
9671 [Bodo Moeller]
9672
9673 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
9674 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
9675 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
9676 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
9677
9678 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
9679 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
9680
9681 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
9682 little-endian MIPS.
9683 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
9684
9685 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
9686 [Richard Levitte]
9687
9688 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
9689
9690 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
9691 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
9692 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
9693 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
9694 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
9695 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
9696 to traverse all of 'state'.
9697
9698 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
9699 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
9700 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
9701
9702 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
9703 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
9704
9705 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
9706 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
9707 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
9708 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
9709 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
9710 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
9711 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
9712 further strengthens the PRNG.
9713 [Bodo Moeller]
9714
9715 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
9716 [Andy Polyakov]
9717
9718 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
9719 an error message in this case.
9720 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9721
9722 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
9723 [Steve Henson]
9724
9725 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
9726 positive and less than q.
9727 [Bodo Moeller]
9728
9729 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
9730 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
9731 that itself.
9732 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
9733
9734 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
9735 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
9736 [Bodo Moeller]
9737
9738 *) Fix OAEP check.
9739 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9740
9741 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
9742 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
9743 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
9744 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
9745 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
9746 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
9747 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
9748 paper.)
9749
9750 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
9751 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
9752 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
9753 detect the supposedly ignored error.
9754
9755 Both problems are now fixed.
9756 [Bodo Moeller]
9757
9758 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
9759 (previously it was 1024).
9760 [Bodo Moeller]
9761
9762 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
9763 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
9764 [Steve Henson]
9765
9766 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
9767 [Steve Henson]
9768
9769 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
9770 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
9771 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
9772 [Steve Henson]
9773
9774 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
9775 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
9776 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
9777 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
9778 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
9779 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
9780 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
9781 environment variables.
9782
9783 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
9784 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
9785 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
9786 [Bodo Moeller]
9787
9788 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
9789 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
9790 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
9791 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
9792 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
9793 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
9794 [Bodo Moeller]
9795
9796 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
9797 versions of 'test'.
9798 [Bodo Moeller]
9799
9800 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
9801
9802 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
9803 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
9804
9805 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
9806 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
9807 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
9808 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
9809 CygWin.
9810 [Richard Levitte]
9811
9812 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
9813 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
9814 amount of data available.
9815 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
9816 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9817
9818 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
9819 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
9820 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
9821 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
9822 [Bodo Moeller]
9823
9824 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
9825 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
9826 and UnixWare.
9827 [Richard Levitte]
9828
9829 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
9830 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
9831 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
9832 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
9833 [Ulf Moeller]
9834
9835 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
9836 [Andy Polyakov]
9837
9838 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
9839 [Richard Levitte]
9840
9841 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
9842 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
9843 [Steve Henson]
9844 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9845
9846 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
9847 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
9848 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
9849 (but broken) behaviour.
9850 [Steve Henson]
9851
9852 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
9853 it when found.
9854 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
9855
9856 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
9857 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
9858 [Bodo Moeller]
9859
9860 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
9861 did not exist.
9862 [Bodo Moeller]
9863
9864 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
9865 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
9866
9867 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
9868 [Richard Levitte]
9869
9870 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
9871 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
9872 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
9873
9874 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
9875 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
9876 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
9877 [Steve Henson]
9878
9879 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
9880 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
9881 [Ulf Moeller]
9882
9883 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
9884 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
9885
9886 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
9887
9888 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
9889
9890 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
9891 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
9892 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
9893 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
9894 [Bodo Moeller]
9895
9896 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
9897 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9898
9899 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
9900 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
9901 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9902
9903 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
9904 was empty.
9905 [Steve Henson]
9906 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9907
9908 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
9909 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
9910 but the code is actually correct.
9911 [Steve Henson]
9912
9913 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
9914 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
9915 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
9916 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
9917 and leaves the highest bit random.
9918 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9919
9920 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
9921 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
9922 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
9923 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
9924 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
9925 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
9926 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
9927 [Bodo Moeller]
9928
9929 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
9930 [Ulf Moeller]
9931
9932 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
9933 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
9934 [Steve Henson]
9935
9936 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
9937 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
9938 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
9939 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
9940 headers.
9941 [Richard Levitte]
9942
9943 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
9944 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
9945 and break the signature.
9946 [Steve Henson]
9947 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9948
9949 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
9950 DH ciphersuites.
9951 [Steve Henson]
9952
9953 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
9954 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
9955 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
9956 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
9957 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
9958 [Bodo Moeller]
9959
9960 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
9961 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9962
9963 *) ./config script fixes.
9964 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
9965
9966 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
9967 [Bodo Moeller]
9968
9969 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
9970 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
9971 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
9972 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
9973 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
9974
9975 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
9976 call failed, free the DSA structure.
9977 [Bodo Moeller]
9978
9979 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
9980 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
9981 [Steve Henson]
9982
9983 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
9984 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
9985 when writing a 32767 byte record.
9986 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
9987
9988 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
9989 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
9990
9991 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
9992 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
9993 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
9994 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
9995 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
9996
9997 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
9998 [Bodo Moeller]
9999
10000 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
10001 [Ulf Möller]
10002
10003 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
10004 [Ulf Möller]
10005
10006 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
10007 [Bodo Moeller]
10008
10009 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
10010 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
10011 [Bodo Moeller]
10012
10013 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
10014 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
10015 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
10016 result of the server certificate verification.)
10017 [Lutz Jaenicke]
10018
10019 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
10020 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
10021 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
10022 [Bodo Moeller]
10023
10024 *) Fix SSL_peek:
10025 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
10026 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
10027 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
10028 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
10029 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
10030 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
10031 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
10032 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
10033 [Bodo Moeller]
10034
10035 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
10036 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
10037 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
10038 happening the other way round.
10039 [Geoff Thorpe]
10040
10041 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
10042 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
10043 [Bodo Moeller]
10044
10045 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
10046 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
10047 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
10048 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
10049 [Richard Levitte]
10050
10051 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
10052 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
10053
10054 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
10055
10056 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
10057 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
10058 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
10059 that.
10060
10061 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
10062
10063 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
10064
10065 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
10066 static ones.
10067 [Richard Levitte]
10068
10069 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
10070
10071 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
10072 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
10073 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
10074 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
10075 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
10076
10077 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
10078 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
10079 matter what.
10080 [Richard Levitte]
10081
10082 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
10083 [Lutz Jaenicke]
10084
10085 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
10086
10087 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
10088 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
10089 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
10090 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
10091 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
10092 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
10093 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
10094 by the Finished messages.
10095 [Bodo Moeller]
10096
10097 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
10098 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
10099
10100 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
10101 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
10102 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
10103 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
10104 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
10105 appropriately.
10106 [Steve Henson]
10107
10108 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
10109 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
10110 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
10111 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
10112 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
10113 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
10114 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
10115 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
10116 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
10117 together.
10118 [Steve Henson]
10119
10120 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
10121 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
10122 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
10123 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
10124
10125 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
10126 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
10127 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
10128 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
10129 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
10130 the answer.
10131
10132 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
10133 been tested well enough.
10134 [Richard Levitte]
10135
10136 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
10137 it can return incorrect results.
10138 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
10139 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
10140 [Bodo Moeller]
10141
10142 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
10143 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
10144 include zero length content when signing messages.
10145 [Steve Henson]
10146
10147 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
10148 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
10149 [Bodo Möller]
10150
10151 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
10152 [Richard Levitte]
10153
10154 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
10155 wrong sign.
10156 [Ulf Möller]
10157
10158 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
10159 packages. The default package contains applications, application
10160 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
10161 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
10162 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
10163 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
10164 [Richard Levitte]
10165
10166 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
10167 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10168
10169 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
10170 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
10171
10172 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
10173 random number < q in the DSA library.
10174 [Ulf Möller]
10175
10176 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
10177 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
10178 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
10179 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
10180 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
10181 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
10182 just makes things more complicated.)
10183 [Bodo Moeller]
10184
10185 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
10186 from EGD.
10187 [Ben Laurie]
10188
10189 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
10190 work better on such systems.
10191 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10192
10193 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
10194 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
10195 keyid to the certificates aux info.
10196 [Steve Henson]
10197
10198 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
10199 if there was more than one signature.
10200 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
10201
10202 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
10203 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
10204 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
10205 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
10206 [Richard Levitte]
10207
10208 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
10209 rather than always using the current time.
10210 [Steve Henson]
10211
10212 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
10213 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
10214 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
10215 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
10216 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
10217 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
10218
10219 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
10220 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
10221
10222 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
10223
10224 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
10225 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
10226 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
10227 the same hash value.
10228
10229 As a result various functions (which were all internal
10230 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
10231 structure. This will break anything that messed round
10232 with X509_STORE internally.
10233
10234 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
10235 exact match, rather than just subject name.
10236
10237 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
10238 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
10239 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
10240 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
10241 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
10242 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
10243 entirely (maybe later...).
10244
10245 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
10246
10247 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
10248 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
10249 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
10250 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
10251 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
10252 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
10253 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
10254 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
10255
10256 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
10257 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
10258
10259 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
10260 to customise the verify behaviour.
10261 [Steve Henson]
10262
10263 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
10264 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
10265 [Steve Henson]
10266
10267 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
10268 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
10269 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
10270 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
10271 request is improperly encoded.
10272 [Steve Henson]
10273
10274 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
10275 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
10276 BIO_write(b, ...).
10277
10278 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
10279 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
10280
10281 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
10282 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
10283 words set to zero.)
10284 [Bodo Moeller]
10285
10286 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
10287 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
10288 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
10289 [Bodo Moeller]
10290
10291 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
10292 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
10293 BIO/fp routines also added.
10294 [Steve Henson]
10295
10296 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
10297 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
10298
10299 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
10300 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
10301 demos/state_machine.
10302 [Ben Laurie]
10303
10304 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
10305 generation and verification.
10306 [Steve Henson]
10307
10308 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
10309 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
10310 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
10311 encode and decode it manually.
10312 [Steve Henson]
10313
10314 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
10315 compile under VC++.
10316 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
10317
10318 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
10319 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
10320 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
10321 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
10322
10323 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
10324 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
10325 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
10326 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
10327 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
10328 [Steve Henson]
10329
10330 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
10331 [Richard Levitte]
10332
10333 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the strings written
10334 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
10335 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
10336
10337 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
10338 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
10339 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
10340 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
10341 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
10342 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
10343 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
10344 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
10345
10346 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
10347 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
10348
10349 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
10350
10351 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
10352 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
10353 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
10354
10355 [Richard Levitte]
10356
10357 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
10358 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
10359 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
10360 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
10361 [Richard Levitte]
10362
10363 *) MD4 implemented.
10364 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
10365
10366 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
10367 [Richard Levitte]
10368
10369 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
10370 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
10371 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
10372 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
10373 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
10374 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
10375 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
10376 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
10377 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
10378 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
10379 short or long names are found.
10380 [Steve Henson]
10381
10382 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
10383 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
10384
10385 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
10386 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
10387 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
10388 version rollback attacks was not effective.
10389
10390 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
10391 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
10392 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
10393 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
10394 [Bodo Moeller]
10395
10396 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
10397 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
10398 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
10399 [Richard Levitte]
10400
10401 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
10402 these print out strings and name structures based on various
10403 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
10404 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
10405 to allow the various flags to be set.
10406 [Steve Henson]
10407
10408 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
10409 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
10410 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
10411 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
10412 dates to be checked.
10413 [Steve Henson]
10414
10415 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
10416 negative public key encodings) on by default,
10417 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
10418 [Steve Henson]
10419
10420 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
10421 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
10422 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
10423 [Steve Henson]
10424
10425 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
10426 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
10427 [Bodo Moeller]
10428
10429 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
10430 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
10431 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
10432 are always statically linked for now, but there are
10433 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
10434 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
10435 [Richard Levitte]
10436
10437 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
10438 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
10439 Random Numbers.
10440 [Ulf Möller]
10441
10442 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
10443 DSA key.
10444 [Steve Henson]
10445
10446 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
10447 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
10448 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
10449 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
10450 form signing output easier to verify.
10451 [Steve Henson]
10452
10453 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
10454 [Steve Henson]
10455
10456 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
10457 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
10458 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
10459 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
10460 are needed because all other string types have virtually
10461 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
10462 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
10463 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
10464 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
10465 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
10466 [Steve Henson]
10467
10468 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
10469
10470 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
10471 the syntax given in objects.README.
10472 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
10473 obj_mac.h.
10474 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
10475 obj_mac.h.
10476
10477 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
10478 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
10479 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
10480 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
10481 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
10482 consistent name changes.
10483 [Richard Levitte]
10484
10485 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
10486 [Bodo Moeller]
10487
10488 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
10489 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
10490 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
10491 environment variable, or the default random state file.
10492 [Richard Levitte]
10493
10494 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
10495 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
10496 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
10497 of safestack.h .
10498 [Steve Henson]
10499
10500 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
10501 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
10502 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
10503 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
10504 [Steve Henson]
10505
10506 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
10507 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
10508 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
10509 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
10510 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
10511 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
10512 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
10513 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
10514 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
10515 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
10516 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
10517 [Steve Henson]
10518
10519 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
10520 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
10521 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
10522 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
10523 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
10524 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
10525 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
10526 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
10527 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
10528 algorithm to openssl-dev.
10529 [Steve Henson]
10530
10531 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
10532 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
10533 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
10534 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
10535
10536 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
10537 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
10538 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
10539 omit any duplicate addresses.
10540 [Steve Henson]
10541
10542 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
10543 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
10544 [Bodo Moeller]
10545
10546 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
10547 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
10548 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
10549 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
10550 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
10551 [Bodo Moeller]
10552
10553 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
10554 software:
10555 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
10556 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
10557 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
10558 Free => OPENSSL_free
10559 [Richard Levitte]
10560
10561 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
10562 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
10563 [Bodo Moeller]
10564
10565 *) CygWin32 support.
10566 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
10567
10568 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
10569 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
10570 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
10571 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
10572 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
10573 approach.
10574 [Geoff Thorpe]
10575
10576 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
10577 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
10578 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
10579 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
10580 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
10581 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
10582 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
10583 [Geoff Thorpe]
10584
10585 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
10586 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
10587 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
10588 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
10589 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
10590 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
10591 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
10592 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
10593 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
10594 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
10595 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
10596 [Bodo Moeller]
10597
10598 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
10599 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
10600 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
10601 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
10602 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
10603
10604 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
10605 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
10606 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
10607 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
10608 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
10609
10610 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
10611 ciphers.
10612
10613 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
10614 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
10615 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
10616 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
10617
10618 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
10619
10620 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
10621 of macros.
10622
10623 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
10624 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
10625 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
10626 flags.
10627
10628 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
10629 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
10630 any installed hardware versions can.
10631 [Steve Henson]
10632
10633 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
10634 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
10635 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
10636 number.
10637 [Bodo Moeller]
10638
10639 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
10640 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
10641 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
10642 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
10643 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
10644
10645 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
10646 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
10647 [Steve Henson]
10648
10649 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
10650 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
10651 [Richard Levitte]
10652
10653 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
10654 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
10655 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
10656 features.
10657 [Steve Henson]
10658
10659 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
10660 [Ulf Möller]
10661
10662 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
10663 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
10664 but no ssl client purpose.
10665 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
10666
10667 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
10668 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
10669 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
10670 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
10671 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
10672 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
10673 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
10674 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
10675 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
10676 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
10677 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
10678 [Steve Henson]
10679
10680 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
10681 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
10682 be obtained from the error queue.
10683 [Bodo Moeller]
10684
10685 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
10686 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
10687 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
10688 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
10689 [Bodo Moeller]
10690
10691 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
10692 [Ulf Möller]
10693
10694 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
10695 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
10696 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
10697 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
10698 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
10699 [Geoff Thorpe]
10700
10701 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
10702 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
10703 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
10704 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
10705 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
10706 [Geoff Thorpe]
10707
10708 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
10709 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
10710 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
10711 may not be NULL.
10712 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
10713
10714 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
10715 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
10716 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
10717 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
10718 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
10719 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
10720 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
10721 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
10722 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
10723 or "the configuration storage API"...
10724
10725 The new configuration file reading functions are:
10726
10727 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
10728 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
10729
10730 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
10731
10732 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
10733
10734 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
10735 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
10736 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
10737 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
10738 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
10739 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
10740 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
10741
10742 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
10743 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
10744 [Richard Levitte]
10745
10746 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
10747 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
10748 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
10749 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
10750 [Bodo Moeller]
10751
10752 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
10753 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
10754 them in a portable way.
10755 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
10756
10757 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
10758
10759 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
10760
10761 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
10762 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
10763
10764 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
10765 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
10766 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
10767 <attili@amaxo.com>]
10768
10769 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
10770 was larger than the MD block size.
10771 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
10772
10773 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
10774 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
10775 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
10776 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
10777 components.
10778 [Steve Henson]
10779
10780 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
10781 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
10782 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
10783
10784 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
10785 discouraged.
10786 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
10787
10788 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
10789 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
10790 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
10791 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
10792 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
10793 Additional arguments are always ignored.
10794
10795 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
10796 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
10797
10798 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
10799 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
10800 [Bodo Moeller]
10801
10802 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
10803 [Bodo Moeller]
10804
10805 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
10806 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
10807 its own key.
10808 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
10809 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
10810 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
10811 you effectively got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
10812 [Bodo Moeller]
10813
10814 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
10815 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
10816 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
10817 does not suppress any output.
10818 [Richard Levitte]
10819
10820 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
10821 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
10822 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
10823 with all the associated security issues.
10824
10825 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
10826 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
10827 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
10828 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
10829 use the value in the default purpose.
10830 [Steve Henson]
10831
10832 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
10833 and fix a memory leak.
10834 [Steve Henson]
10835
10836 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
10837 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
10838 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
10839 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
10840 [Bodo Moeller]
10841
10842 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
10843 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
10844 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
10845 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
10846 [Bodo Moeller]
10847
10848 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
10849 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
10850 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
10851 [Bodo Moeller]
10852
10853 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
10854 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
10855 [Bodo Moeller]
10856
10857 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
10858 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
10859 which was free.
10860 [Steve Henson]
10861
10862 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
10863 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
10864 [Bodo Moeller]
10865
10866 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
10867 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
10868 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
10869 [Bodo Moeller]
10870
10871 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
10872 number generation fails.
10873 [Bodo Moeller]
10874
10875 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
10876 [Bodo Moeller]
10877
10878 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
10879 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
10880
10881 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
10882 [Ulf Möller]
10883
10884 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
10885 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
10886
10887 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
10888 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
10889
10890 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
10891
10892 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
10893 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
10894 [Steve Henson]
10895
10896 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
10897 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
10898
10899 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
10900 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
10901 [Ulf Möller]
10902
10903 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
10904 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
10905 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
10906 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
10907 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
10908 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
10909
10910 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
10911 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
10912 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
10913 for example.
10914 [Steve Henson]
10915
10916 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
10917 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
10918 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
10919 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
10920 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
10921 counter, some don't.)
10922 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
10923 counters or duplicate objects.
10924 [Steve Henson]
10925
10926 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
10927 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
10928 [Steve Henson]
10929
10930 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
10931 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
10932 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
10933
10934 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
10935 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
10936 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
10937 or -rand.
10938 [Ulf Möller]
10939
10940 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
10941 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
10942 [Steve Henson]
10943
10944 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
10945 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
10946 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
10947 cipher list.
10948 [Steve Henson]
10949
10950 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
10951 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
10952 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
10953 [Steve Henson]
10954
10955 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
10956 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
10957 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
10958 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
10959 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
10960 should work without changes.
10961 [Richard Levitte]
10962
10963 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
10964 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
10965 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
10966 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
10967 must be defined. E.g.,
10968 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
10969 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
10970 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
10971 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
10972
10973 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
10974 record layer.
10975 [Bodo Moeller]
10976
10977 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
10978 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
10979 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
10980 [Steve Henson]
10981
10982 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
10983 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
10984 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
10985 request header lines. Some software needs this.
10986 [Steve Henson]
10987
10988 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
10989 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
10990 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
10991 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
10992 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
10993 is prompted for as usual.
10994 [Steve Henson]
10995
10996 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
10997 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
10998 autodetect the card and use it if present.
10999 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
11000
11001 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
11002 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
11003 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
11004 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
11005 [Steve Henson]
11006
11007 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
11008 [Andy Polyakov]
11009
11010 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
11011 of seed file.
11012 [Steve Henson]
11013
11014 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
11015 [Bodo Moeller]
11016
11017 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
11018 [Steve Henson]
11019
11020 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
11021 bits.
11022 [Ulf Möller]
11023
11024 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
11025 [Ulf Möller]
11026
11027 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
11028 [Andy Polyakov]
11029
11030 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divisor are
11031 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
11032 [Ulf Möller]
11033
11034 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
11035 options to produce them.
11036 [Steve Henson]
11037
11038 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
11039 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
11040 [Ulf Möller]
11041
11042 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
11043 for p == 0.
11044 [Ulf Möller]
11045
11046 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
11047 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
11048 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
11049 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
11050 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
11051 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
11052 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
11053 [Steve Henson]
11054
11055 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
11056 [Steve Henson]
11057
11058 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
11059 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
11060 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
11061 [Bodo Moeller]
11062
11063 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
11064 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
11065
11066 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
11067 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
11068 [Ulf Möller]
11069
11070 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
11071 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
11072 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
11073 has already seen).
11074 [Bodo Moeller]
11075
11076 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
11077 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
11078
11079 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
11080 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
11081 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
11082 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
11083 generation becomes much faster.
11084
11085 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
11086 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
11087 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
11088 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
11089 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
11090 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
11091 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
11092 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
11093 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
11094 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
11095 [Bodo Moeller]
11096
11097 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
11098 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
11099 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
11100 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
11101 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
11102 trial division stage.
11103 [Bodo Moeller]
11104
11105 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
11106 as ASN1_TIME.
11107 [Steve Henson]
11108
11109 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
11110 [Steve Henson]
11111
11112 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
11113 [Ulf Möller]
11114
11115 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
11116 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
11117 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
11118 the comments.
11119 [Ulf Möller]
11120
11121 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
11122 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
11123 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
11124 [Bodo Moeller]
11125
11126 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
11127 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
11128 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
11129 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
11130
11131 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
11132 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
11133 [Steve Henson]
11134
11135 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
11136 [Ulf Möller]
11137
11138 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
11139 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
11140 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
11141 Rabin-Miller iterations.
11142 [Ulf Möller]
11143
11144 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
11145 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
11146 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
11147 [Ulf Möller]
11148
11149 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
11150 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
11151 (instead of parameters) in future.
11152 [Steve Henson]
11153
11154 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
11155 when a new cipher list is set.
11156 [Steve Henson]
11157
11158 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
11159 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
11160 wrong.
11161
11162 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
11163 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
11164 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
11165
11166 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
11167 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
11168 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
11169 an error is flagged.
11170
11171 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
11172 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
11173 the readability was also increased :-)
11174 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
11175
11176 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
11177 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
11178 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
11179 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
11180 as the root CA.
11181 [Steve Henson]
11182
11183 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
11184 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
11185 [Steve Henson]
11186
11187 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
11188 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
11189 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
11190 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
11191 instead.
11192
11193 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
11194 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
11195 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
11196 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
11197 because they handle more complex structures.)
11198 [Steve Henson]
11199
11200 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
11201 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
11202 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
11203 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11204
11205 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
11206 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
11207 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
11208 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
11209 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
11210 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
11211 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
11212 [Ulf Möller]
11213
11214 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
11215 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
11216 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
11217 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
11218 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
11219 [Bodo Moeller]
11220
11221 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
11222 [Bodo Moeller]
11223
11224 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
11225 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
11226 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
11227 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
11228 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
11229 to use this.
11230
11231 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
11232 code.
11233 [Steve Henson]
11234
11235 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
11236 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
11237 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
11238 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
11239 [Steve Henson]
11240
11241 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
11242 [Ulf Möller]
11243
11244 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
11245 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
11246 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
11247 international characters are used.
11248
11249 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
11250 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
11251 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
11252 in ASN1 order.
11253 [Steve Henson]
11254
11255 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
11256 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
11257 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
11258 request.
11259
11260 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
11261 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
11262 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
11263 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
11264 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
11265 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
11266
11267 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
11268 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
11269 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
11270 be handled by the string table functions.
11271
11272 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
11273 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
11274 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
11275 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
11276 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
11277 types at all.
11278 [Steve Henson]
11279
11280 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
11281 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
11282 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
11283 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
11284 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
11285
11286 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
11287 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
11288 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
11289 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
11290 [Bodo Moeller]
11291
11292 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
11293 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
11294 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
11295 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
11296 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
11297 SHA1.
11298 [Andy Polyakov]
11299
11300 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
11301 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
11302 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
11303 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
11304 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
11305 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
11306 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
11307 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
11308
11309 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
11310 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
11311 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
11312 [Steve Henson]
11313
11314 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
11315 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
11316 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
11317 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
11318 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
11319 support to pkcs8 application.
11320 [Steve Henson]
11321
11322 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
11323 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
11324 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
11325 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
11326 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
11327 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
11328 [Bodo Moeller]
11329
11330 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
11331 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
11332 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
11333 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
11334 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
11335 consistency.
11336 [Bodo Moeller]
11337
11338 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
11339 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
11340 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
11341 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
11342 example.
11343 [Steve Henson]
11344
11345 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
11346 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
11347 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
11348 and any application specific purposes.
11349
11350 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
11351 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
11352 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
11353 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
11354 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
11355 if the certificate is self signed.
11356 [Steve Henson]
11357
11358 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
11359 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
11360 [Steve Henson]
11361
11362 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
11363 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
11364 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
11365 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
11366 [Steve Henson]
11367
11368 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
11369 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
11370 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
11371 Update documentation.
11372 [Steve Henson]
11373
11374 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
11375 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
11376 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
11377 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
11378 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
11379 [Steve Henson]
11380
11381 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
11382 for details.
11383 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
11384
11385 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
11386 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
11387 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
11388 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
11389 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
11390 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
11391 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
11392 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
11393 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
11394 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
11395
11396 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
11397
11398 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11399 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11400 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
11401 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
11402 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
11403
11404 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
11405 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
11406 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
11407 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
11408 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
11409 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
11410 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
11411 request additional information:
11412 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
11413 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
11414
11415 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
11416 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
11417 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
11418 options.
11419
11420 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
11421 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
11422
11423 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
11424 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
11425 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
11426
11427 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
11428 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
11429
11430 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
11431 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
11432 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
11433 algorithm.
11434 [Steve Henson]
11435
11436 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
11437 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
11438 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
11439
11440 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
11441 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
11442 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
11443 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
11444 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
11445 included in OpenSSL.
11446 [Steve Henson]
11447
11448 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
11449 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
11450 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
11451 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
11452 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
11453 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
11454 [Bodo Moeller]
11455
11456 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
11457 PKCS12 structure.
11458 [Steve Henson]
11459
11460 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
11461 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
11462 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
11463 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
11464 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
11465 structure.
11466 [Steve Henson]
11467
11468 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
11469 need initialising.
11470 [Steve Henson]
11471
11472 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
11473 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
11474 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
11475 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
11476 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
11477 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
11478 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
11479 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
11480 be maintained manually.
11481
11482 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
11483 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
11484 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
11485 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
11486 work because people forget to call this function]
11487 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
11488 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
11489 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
11490 [Steve Henson]
11491
11492 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
11493 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
11494 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
11495 should be discouraged from doing it.
11496 [Ben Laurie]
11497
11498 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
11499 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
11500 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
11501 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
11502 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
11503 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
11504 [Steve Henson]
11505
11506 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
11507 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
11508 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
11509
11510 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
11511 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
11512 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
11513
11514 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
11515 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
11516 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
11517 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
11518 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
11519 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
11520
11521 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
11522 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
11523 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
11524
11525 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
11526 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
11527 and vice versa.
11528
11529 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
11530 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
11531 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
11532 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
11533 [Steve Henson]
11534
11535 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
11536 [Steve Henson]
11537
11538 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
11539 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
11540 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
11541 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
11542 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
11543 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
11544 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
11545 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
11546 keys so we should be OK.
11547
11548 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
11549 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
11550 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
11551 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
11552 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
11553 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
11554 stay in the name of compatibility.
11555
11556 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
11557 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
11558 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
11559
11560 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
11561 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
11562 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
11563 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
11564 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
11565 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
11566 supplied key).
11567 [Steve Henson]
11568
11569 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
11570 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
11571 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
11572 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
11573 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
11574 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
11575 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
11576 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
11577 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
11578 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
11579 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
11580 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
11581 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
11582 [Steve Henson]
11583
11584 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
11585 [Steve Henson]
11586
11587 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
11588 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
11589 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
11590 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
11591 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
11592 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
11593 single self signed certificate. This means that:
11594 openssl verify ss.pem
11595 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
11596 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
11597 is OK.
11598 [Steve Henson]
11599
11600 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
11601 (and add it to external session representation).
11602 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
11603 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
11604 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
11605 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
11606 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
11607 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
11608 security holes.
11609 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
11610
11611 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
11612 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
11613 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
11614 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
11615
11616 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
11617 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
11618 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
11619 [Steve Henson]
11620
11621 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
11622 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
11623 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
11624 code.
11625 [Steve Henson]
11626
11627 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
11628 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
11629 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
11630
11631 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
11632 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
11633 certificate auxiliary information.
11634 [Steve Henson]
11635
11636 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
11637 the 'enc' command.
11638 [Steve Henson]
11639
11640 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
11641 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
11642 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
11643 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
11644 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
11645 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
11646 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
11647 [Richard Levitte]
11648
11649 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
11650 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
11651 [Steve Henson]
11652
11653 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
11654 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
11655 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
11656 manpages and fix a few bugs.
11657 [Steve Henson]
11658
11659 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
11660 [Steve Henson]
11661
11662 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
11663 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
11664 [Steve Henson]
11665
11666 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
11667 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
11668 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
11669 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
11670 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
11671 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
11672 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
11673 using the new 'x509' options.
11674
11675 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
11676 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
11677 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
11678 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
11679 for all purposes.
11680 [Steve Henson]
11681
11682 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
11683 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
11684 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
11685 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
11686 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
11687 [Mark Cox]
11688
11689 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
11690 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
11691 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
11692 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
11693 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
11694 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
11695 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
11696 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
11697 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
11698 the key length and effective key length are equal.
11699 [Steve Henson]
11700
11701 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
11702 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
11703 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
11704 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
11705 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
11706 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
11707 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
11708 [Steve Henson]
11709
11710 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
11711 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
11712 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
11713 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
11714 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
11715 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
11716 openssl.cnf for more info.
11717 [Steve Henson]
11718
11719 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
11720 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
11721 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
11722 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
11723 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
11724 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
11725 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
11726 md should be large enough anyway.
11727 [Bodo Moeller]
11728
11729 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
11730 for handling the random seed file.
11731
11732 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
11733 ca,
11734 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
11735 s_client,
11736 s_server,
11737 x509 (when signing).
11738 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
11739 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
11740 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
11741
11742 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
11743 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
11744 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
11745 that support '-rand'.
11746 [Bodo Moeller]
11747
11748 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
11749 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
11750 [Bodo Moeller]
11751
11752 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
11753 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
11754 [Bill Perry]
11755
11756 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
11757 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
11758 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
11759 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
11760 is suitable.
11761 [Steve Henson]
11762
11763 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
11764 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
11765 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
11766 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
11767 [Steve Henson]
11768
11769 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
11770 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
11771 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
11772 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
11773 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
11774 print out all the purposes.
11775 [Steve Henson]
11776
11777 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
11778 functions.
11779 [Steve Henson]
11780
11781 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
11782 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
11783 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
11784 single function call.
11785 [Steve Henson]
11786
11787 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
11788 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
11789 [Andy Polyakov]
11790
11791 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
11792 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
11793 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
11794 [Steve Henson]
11795
11796 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
11797 when producing the local key id.
11798 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11799
11800 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
11801 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
11802 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
11803 "server.pem".
11804 [Steve Henson]
11805
11806 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
11807 a public key to be input or output. For example:
11808 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
11809 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
11810 [Steve Henson]
11811
11812 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
11813 in the message. This was handled by allowing
11814 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
11815 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
11816
11817 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
11818 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
11819 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
11820 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11821
11822 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
11823 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
11824 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
11825 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
11826 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
11827 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
11828 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
11829 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
11830 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
11831 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
11832 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
11833 trivial: move one line.
11834 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
11835
11836 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
11837 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
11838 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
11839 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
11840 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
11841 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
11842 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
11843 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
11844 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
11845 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
11846 with an event loop for example.
11847 [Steve Henson]
11848
11849 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
11850 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
11851 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
11852 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
11853 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
11854 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
11855 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
11856 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
11857 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
11858 [Steve Henson]
11859
11860 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
11861 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
11862 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
11863 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
11864 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
11865 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
11866 [Steve Henson]
11867
11868 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
11869 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
11870 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
11871 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
11872
11873 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
11874 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
11875 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
11876 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
11877 key generation.
11878 [Steve Henson]
11879
11880 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
11881 (still largely untested)
11882 [Bodo Moeller]
11883
11884 *) New function ASN1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
11885 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
11886 [Steve Henson]
11887
11888 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
11889 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
11890 [Steve Henson]
11891
11892 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
11893 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
11894 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
11895 [Bodo Moeller]
11896
11897 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
11898 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
11899 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
11900 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
11901 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
11902 [Steve Henson]
11903
11904 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
11905 [Andy Polyakov]
11906
11907 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
11908 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
11909 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
11910 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
11911 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
11912 in ca.
11913 [Steve Henson]
11914
11915 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
11916 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
11917 1.OU="Unit name 1"
11918 2.OU="Unit name 2"
11919 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
11920 [Steve Henson]
11921
11922 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
11923 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
11924 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
11925 are otherwise ignored at present.
11926 [Steve Henson]
11927
11928 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
11929 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
11930 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
11931 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
11932 copied until the next read.
11933 [Steve Henson]
11934
11935 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
11936 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
11937 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
11938 [Steve Henson]
11939
11940 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
11941 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
11942 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
11943 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
11944 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
11945 associated functions.
11946 [Steve Henson]
11947
11948 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
11949 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
11950 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
11951 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
11952 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
11953 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
11954 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
11955 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
11956 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
11957 memory BIOs.
11958 [Steve Henson]
11959
11960 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
11961 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
11962 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
11963 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
11964 [Bodo Moeller]
11965
11966 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
11967 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
11968 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
11969 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
11970 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
11971 functionality.
11972 [Steve Henson]
11973
11974 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
11975 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
11976 under Win32.
11977 [Steve Henson]
11978
11979 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
11980 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
11981 extensions to be obtained and added.
11982 [Steve Henson]
11983
11984 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
11985 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
11986 [Bodo Moeller]
11987
11988 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
11989
11990 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11991 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11992
11993 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
11994 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
11995
11996 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
11997 program.
11998 [Steve Henson]
11999
12000 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
12001 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
12002 DH parameters contain its length).
12003
12004 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
12005 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
12006 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
12007 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
12008 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
12009 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
12010 utter importance to use
12011 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
12012 or
12013 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
12014 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
12015 attacks may become possible!
12016 [Bodo Moeller]
12017
12018 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
12019 [Bodo Moeller]
12020
12021 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
12022 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
12023 [Steve Henson]
12024
12025 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
12026 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
12027 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
12028 or long name.
12029 [Steve Henson]
12030
12031 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
12032 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
12033 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
12034 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
12035 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
12036 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
12037 private key operations.
12038 [Steve Henson]
12039
12040 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
12041 [Andy Polyakov]
12042
12043 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
12044 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
12045 to
12046 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
12047 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
12048 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
12049 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
12050 the password callback is called.
12051 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
12052
12053 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
12054
12055 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
12056 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
12057 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
12058 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
12059 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
12060 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
12061 this will work.
12062
12063 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
12064 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
12065 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
12066 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
12067 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
12068 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
12069 [Bodo Moeller]
12070
12071 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
12072 [Andy Polyakov]
12073
12074 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
12075 delete an unused file.
12076 [Ulf Möller]
12077
12078 *) Add support for the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
12079 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
12080 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
12081 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
12082 [Steve Henson]
12083
12084 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
12085 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
12086 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
12087 of an error.
12088 [Bodo Moeller]
12089
12090 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
12091 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
12092 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
12093
12094 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
12095 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
12096 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
12097 comparison" warnings.
12098 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
12099 [Steve Henson]
12100
12101 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
12102 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
12103 derived keys are printed to stderr.
12104 [Steve Henson]
12105
12106 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
12107 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
12108
12109 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
12110 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
12111
12112 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
12113 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
12114 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
12115
12116 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
12117 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
12118 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
12119 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
12120 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
12121 this bug.
12122 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
12123
12124 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
12125 The interface is as follows:
12126 Applications can use
12127 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
12128 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
12129 "off" is now the default.
12130 The library internally uses
12131 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
12132 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
12133 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
12134
12135 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
12136 even the default) are now avoided.
12137
12138 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
12139 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
12140 than just having a counter.
12141
12142 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
12143
12144 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
12145 extensions.
12146 [Bodo Moeller]
12147
12148 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
12149 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
12150 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
12151 Initial "mode" flags are:
12152
12153 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
12154 a single record has been written.
12155 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
12156 retries use the same buffer location.
12157 (But all of the contents must be
12158 copied!)
12159 [Bodo Moeller]
12160
12161 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
12162 worked.
12163
12164 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
12165 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
12166
12167 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
12168 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
12169 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
12170 [Steve Henson]
12171
12172 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
12173 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
12174 test programs.
12175 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
12176
12177 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
12178 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
12179 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
12180 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
12181 point to the end.
12182 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
12183 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
12184
12185 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
12186 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
12187 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
12188 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
12189 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
12190 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
12191 [Steve Henson]
12192
12193 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
12194 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
12195 necessary function names.
12196 [Steve Henson]
12197
12198 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
12199 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
12200 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
12201 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
12202 [Bodo Moeller]
12203
12204 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
12205 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
12206 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
12207 [Steve Henson]
12208
12209 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
12210 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
12211 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
12212 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
12213 such programs?)
12214 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
12215 need locks.
12216 [Bodo Moeller]
12217
12218 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
12219 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
12220 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
12221 [Bodo Moeller]
12222
12223 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
12224 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
12225 appropriate.
12226 [Bodo Moeller]
12227
12228 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
12229 for the encoded length.
12230 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
12231
12232 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
12233 [Steve Henson]
12234
12235 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
12236 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
12237 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
12238 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
12239 [Steve Henson]
12240
12241 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
12242 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
12243 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12244
12245 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
12246 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
12247 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
12248 unusual formatting.
12249 [Steve Henson]
12250
12251 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
12252 to use the new extension code.
12253 [Steve Henson]
12254
12255 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
12256 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
12257 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
12258 constant.
12259 [Steve Henson]
12260
12261 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
12262 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
12263 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
12264 [Bodo Moeller]
12265
12266 #if 0
12267 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
12268 [Ben Laurie]
12269 #else
12270 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
12271 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
12272 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
12273 #endif
12274
12275 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
12276 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
12277 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
12278 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
12279 [Ben Laurie]
12280
12281 *) DES library cleanups.
12282 [Ulf Möller]
12283
12284 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
12285 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
12286 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
12287 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
12288 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
12289 of v2.0.
12290 [Steve Henson]
12291
12292 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
12293 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
12294 [Bodo Moeller]
12295
12296 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
12297 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
12298 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
12299 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
12300 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
12301 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
12302 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
12303 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
12304 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
12305 [Steve Henson]
12306
12307 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
12308 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
12309 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
12310 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
12311 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
12312 value doesn't matter.
12313 [Steve Henson]
12314
12315 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
12316 support mutable.
12317 [Ben Laurie]
12318
12319 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
12320 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
12321 "linux-sparc" configuration.
12322 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
12323
12324 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
12325 [Ulf Möller]
12326
12327 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
12328 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
12329 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
12330
12331 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
12332 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
12333
12334 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
12335 [Ben Laurie]
12336
12337 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
12338 [Ben Laurie]
12339
12340 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
12341 [Ben Laurie]
12342
12343 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
12344 [Bodo Moeller]
12345
12346
12347 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
12348
12349 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
12350
12351 *) Updated some demos.
12352 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
12353
12354 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
12355 [Wu Zhigang]
12356
12357 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
12358 [Steve Henson]
12359
12360 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
12361 [Steve Henson]
12362
12363 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
12364 instead of using a fixed path.
12365 [Bodo Moeller]
12366
12367 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
12368 [Andy Polyakov]
12369
12370 *) Improvements for VMS support.
12371 [Richard Levitte]
12372
12373
12374 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
12375
12376 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
12377 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
12378 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12379
12380 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
12381 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
12382 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
12383 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
12384 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
12385 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
12386 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
12387 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
12388 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
12389 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
12390 [Steve Henson]
12391
12392 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
12393 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
12394 [Steve Henson]
12395
12396 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
12397 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
12398 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
12399 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
12400 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
12401
12402 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
12403 [Bodo Moeller]
12404
12405 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
12406 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
12407 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
12408 [Steve Henson]
12409
12410 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
12411 [Ben Laurie]
12412
12413 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
12414 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
12415 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
12416 key elements as negative integers.
12417 [Steve Henson]
12418
12419 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
12420 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12421
12422 *) VMS support.
12423 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
12424
12425 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
12426 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
12427 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
12428 [Steve Henson]
12429
12430 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
12431 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
12432 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
12433 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
12434 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
12435 [Bodo Moeller]
12436
12437 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
12438 [Ulf Möller]
12439
12440 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
12441 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
12442 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
12443 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12444
12445 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
12446 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
12447 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
12448
12449 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
12450 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
12451 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
12452 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
12453 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
12454 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
12455 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
12456 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
12457 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
12458
12459 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
12460 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
12461 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
12462 does not influence s as it used to.
12463
12464 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
12465 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
12466 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
12467 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
12468 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
12469 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
12470 [Bodo Moeller]
12471
12472 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
12473 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
12474 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
12475 key type.
12476 [Steve Henson]
12477
12478 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
12479 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
12480 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
12481 and 'x509').
12482 [Steve Henson]
12483
12484 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
12485 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
12486 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
12487 extension option.
12488 [Steve Henson]
12489
12490 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
12491 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
12492 [Ben Laurie]
12493
12494 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
12495 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
12496
12497 *) Support Mingw32.
12498 [Ulf Möller]
12499
12500 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
12501 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12502
12503 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
12504 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12505
12506 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
12507 [Ulf Möller]
12508
12509 *) Update HPUX configuration.
12510 [Anonymous]
12511
12512 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
12513 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12514
12515 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
12516 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
12517 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
12518 DER-encoded.)
12519 [Bodo Moeller]
12520
12521 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
12522 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
12523 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
12524 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
12525 now it really counts the depth.
12526 [Bodo Moeller]
12527
12528 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
12529 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
12530 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
12531 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
12532 didn't match the private key).
12533
12534 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
12535 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
12536 connection using the SSL_CTX).
12537 [Bodo Moeller]
12538
12539 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
12540 [Ulf Möller]
12541
12542 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
12543 David Harris.
12544 [Bodo Moeller]
12545
12546 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
12547 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
12548 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
12549 [Bodo Moeller]
12550
12551 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
12552 [Bodo Moeller]
12553
12554 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
12555 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
12556 such as /usr/local/bin.
12557 [Bodo Moeller]
12558
12559 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
12560 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12561
12562 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
12563 [Ulf Möller]
12564
12565 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
12566 extension adding in x509 utility.
12567 [Steve Henson]
12568
12569 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
12570 [Ulf Möller]
12571
12572 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
12573 prototypes.
12574 [Steve Henson]
12575
12576 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
12577 [Ulf Möller]
12578
12579 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
12580 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
12581 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
12582 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
12583 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
12584 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
12585 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
12586 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
12587 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
12588 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
12589 [Steve Henson]
12590
12591 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
12592 [Bodo Moeller]
12593
12594 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
12595 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
12596 [Bodo Moeller]
12597
12598 *) Fix some race conditions.
12599 [Bodo Moeller]
12600
12601 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
12602 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
12603 [Steve Henson]
12604
12605 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
12606 [Ulf Möller]
12607
12608 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
12609 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
12610 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
12611 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
12612
12613 *) Fix lots of warnings.
12614 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12615
12616 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
12617 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
12618 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12619
12620 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
12621 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12622
12623 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
12624 [Ulf Möller]
12625
12626 *) Fix typos in error codes.
12627 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
12628
12629 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
12630 [Ulf Möller]
12631
12632 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
12633 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12634
12635 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
12636 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
12637 [Steve Henson]
12638
12639 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
12640 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
12641 [Ben Laurie]
12642
12643 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
12644 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
12645 [Steve Henson]
12646
12647 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
12648 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
12649 [Steve Henson]
12650
12651 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
12652 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
12653 [Steve Henson]
12654
12655 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
12656 support typesafe stack.
12657 [Steve Henson]
12658
12659 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
12660 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
12661
12662 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
12663 old X509V3 handling code.
12664 [Steve Henson]
12665
12666 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
12667 [Ulf Möller]
12668
12669 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
12670 [Bodo Moeller]
12671
12672 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
12673 [Ben Laurie]
12674
12675 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
12676 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
12677
12678 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
12679 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
12680 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
12681 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
12682 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
12683 [Ben Laurie]
12684
12685 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
12686 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
12687 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
12688 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
12689 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
12690
12691 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
12692 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
12693 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
12694 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12695
12696 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
12697 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
12698 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
12699 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12700
12701 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
12702 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
12703 all available ciphers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
12704 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
12705 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
12706 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
12707 [Bodo Moeller]
12708
12709 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
12710 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
12711 [Bodo Moeller]
12712
12713 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
12714 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
12715 [Ulf Möller]
12716
12717 *) Tweaks to Configure
12718 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12719
12720 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
12721 yet...
12722 [Steve Henson]
12723
12724 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
12725 [Ulf Möller]
12726
12727 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
12728 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
12729 [Ulf Möller]
12730
12731 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
12732 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
12733 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
12734 [Bodo Moeller]
12735
12736 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
12737 [Bodo Moeller]
12738
12739 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
12740 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
12741 [Steve Henson]
12742
12743 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
12744 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
12745 to library startup routines.
12746 [Steve Henson]
12747
12748 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
12749 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
12750 codes along the way.
12751 [Steve Henson]
12752
12753 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
12754 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
12755 objects to objects.h
12756 [Steve Henson]
12757
12758 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
12759 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
12760 [Steve Henson]
12761
12762 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
12763 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
12764
12765 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
12766 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
12767 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
12768
12769 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
12770 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
12771 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12772
12773 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
12774 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
12775 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
12776
12777
12778 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
12779
12780 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
12781 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
12782 [Ben Laurie]
12783
12784 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
12785 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
12786 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
12787 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
12788 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
12789
12790 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
12791 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
12792 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
12793 document.
12794 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12795
12796 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
12797 Malloc, Free.
12798 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
12799
12800 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
12801 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12802
12803 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
12804 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
12805 if someone would make that last step automatic.
12806 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
12807
12808 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
12809 [Ben Laurie]
12810
12811 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
12812 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
12813 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
12814 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
12815 [Steve Henson]
12816
12817 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
12818 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
12819 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
12820 [Steve Henson]
12821
12822 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
12823 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
12824 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
12825 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
12826 installed as `perl').
12827 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12828
12829 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
12830 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12831
12832 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
12833 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
12834 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
12835 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
12836 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
12837 [Steve Henson]
12838
12839 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
12840 [Ben Laurie]
12841
12842 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
12843 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
12844 is horrible: I feel ill....
12845 [Steve Henson]
12846
12847 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
12848 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
12849 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
12850 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
12851 [Steve Henson]
12852
12853 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
12854 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12855
12856 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
12857 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
12858 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
12859 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12860
12861 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
12862 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
12863 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
12864 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
12865 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
12866 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
12867 openssl_bio.xs.
12868 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12869
12870 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
12871 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12872
12873 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
12874 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
12875
12876 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
12877 [Ben Laurie]
12878
12879 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
12880 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
12881 in CRLs.
12882 [Steve Henson]
12883
12884 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
12885 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
12886 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
12887 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
12888 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
12889 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
12890 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
12891 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
12892 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
12893 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
12894 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12895
12896 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
12897 [Ben Laurie]
12898
12899 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
12900 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
12901 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
12902 for linking it into DSOs.
12903 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12904
12905 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
12906 Fixed.
12907 [Ben Laurie]
12908
12909 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
12910 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
12911 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
12912 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
12913 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
12914 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12915
12916 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
12917 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
12918 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
12919 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
12920 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
12921 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
12922 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12923
12924 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
12925 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
12926 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
12927 encryption.
12928 [Ben Laurie]
12929
12930 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
12931 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
12932 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
12933 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
12934 [Steve Henson]
12935
12936 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
12937 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
12938 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
12939 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
12940 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
12941 field as blank.
12942 [Steve Henson]
12943
12944 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
12945 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
12946 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
12947 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
12948 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12949
12950 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
12951 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
12952 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12953
12954 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
12955 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12956
12957 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
12958 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
12959 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
12960 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
12961 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
12962 [Steve Henson]
12963
12964 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
12965 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
12966 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
12967 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
12968 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
12969 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
12970 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
12971 [Ben Laurie]
12972
12973 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
12974 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
12975 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
12976 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
12977 [Ben Laurie]
12978
12979 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
12980 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
12981
12982 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
12983 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
12984 [Steve Henson]
12985
12986 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
12987 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
12988 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
12989 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
12990 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
12991 (e.g. s_server).
12992 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
12993 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
12994 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
12995 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
12996 no way to reconfigure them.
12997 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
12998 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
12999 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
13000 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
13001 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
13002 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13003
13004 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
13005 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
13006 recognized by the users.
13007 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13008
13009 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
13010 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
13011 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
13012 already masked variable.
13013 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
13014
13015 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
13016 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
13017
13018 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
13019 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
13020 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
13021 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
13022
13023 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
13024 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
13025 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13026
13027 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
13028 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
13029 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
13030 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
13031 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
13032 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
13033 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
13034 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
13035 now, too.
13036 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13037
13038 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
13039 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
13040 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13041
13042 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
13043 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
13044 config file.
13045 [Steve Henson]
13046
13047 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
13048 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
13049
13050 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
13051 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
13052 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
13053 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
13054 [Ben Laurie]
13055
13056 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
13057 [Steve Henson]
13058
13059 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
13060 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13061
13062 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
13063 [Ben Laurie]
13064
13065 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
13066 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
13067 [Steve Henson]
13068
13069 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
13070 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
13071 [Steve Henson]
13072
13073 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
13074 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
13075 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
13076 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
13077 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
13078 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
13079 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
13080 Ben Laurie]
13081
13082 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
13083 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13084
13085 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
13086 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
13087 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
13088 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
13089 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13090
13091 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
13092 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
13093 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
13094 [Steve Henson]
13095
13096 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
13097 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
13098 an example.
13099 [Steve Henson]
13100
13101 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
13102 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
13103 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13104
13105 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
13106 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
13107 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
13108 build instructions.
13109 [Steve Henson]
13110
13111 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
13112 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
13113 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
13114 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
13115 [Steve Henson]
13116
13117 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
13118 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
13119 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
13120 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
13121 [Ben Laurie]
13122
13123 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
13124 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
13125 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
13126 so it wasn't spotted.
13127 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
13128
13129 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
13130 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
13131 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
13132 vectors if you have them.
13133 [Ben Laurie]
13134
13135 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
13136 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
13137 [Ben Laurie]
13138
13139 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
13140 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
13141 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
13142 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
13143 If you do a:
13144 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
13145 it will update them.
13146 [Steve Henson]
13147
13148 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
13149 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
13150 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
13151 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
13152 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
13153 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
13154 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
13155 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13156
13157 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
13158 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
13159 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
13160 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
13161 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
13162 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
13163 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
13164 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
13165 the crypto/md/ stuff).
13166 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13167
13168 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
13169 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
13170 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
13171 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
13172 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
13173 [Steve Henson]
13174
13175 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
13176 INTEGER code.
13177 [Steve Henson]
13178
13179 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
13180 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13181
13182 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
13183 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
13184
13185 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
13186 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
13187 [Ben Laurie]
13188
13189 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
13190 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
13191
13192 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
13193 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
13194
13195 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
13196 [Steve Henson]
13197
13198 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
13199 few typos.
13200 [Steve Henson]
13201
13202 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
13203 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
13204 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
13205 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13206
13207 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
13208 [Steve Henson]
13209
13210 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
13211 [Steve Henson]
13212
13213 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
13214 [Steve Henson]
13215
13216 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
13217 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
13218 [Steve Henson]
13219
13220 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
13221 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
13222 CA extensions.
13223 [Steve Henson]
13224
13225 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
13226 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
13227 [Steve Henson]
13228
13229 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
13230 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
13231 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
13232 [Steve Henson]
13233
13234 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
13235 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
13236 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
13237 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
13238 properly to be processed.
13239 [Steve Henson]
13240
13241 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
13242 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
13243 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
13244 [Ben Laurie]
13245
13246 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
13247 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
13248
13249 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
13250 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
13251 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
13252 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
13253 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
13254 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
13255 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
13256 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
13257 or delete all the .err files.
13258 [Steve Henson]
13259
13260 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
13261 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
13262 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
13263 to regenerate it if needed.
13264 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
13265 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
13266
13267 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
13268 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13269
13270 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
13271 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
13272 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
13273 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
13274 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
13275 [Steve Henson]
13276
13277 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
13278 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13279
13280 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
13281 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13282
13283 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
13284 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
13285 error, but didn't set one).
13286 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13287
13288 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
13289 [Ben Laurie]
13290
13291 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
13292 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
13293 [Steve Henson]
13294
13295 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
13296 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
13297
13298 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
13299 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
13300 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
13301 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
13302 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
13303 OID is not part of the table.
13304 [Steve Henson]
13305
13306 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
13307 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
13308 [Ben Laurie]
13309
13310 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
13311 [Ben Laurie]
13312
13313 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
13314 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
13315 was "1234").
13316 [Steve Henson]
13317
13318 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
13319 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
13320
13321 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
13322 NULL pointers.
13323 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13324
13325 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
13326 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13327
13328 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
13329 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13330
13331 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
13332 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13333
13334 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
13335 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
13336 [Ben Laurie]
13337
13338 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
13339 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
13340 [Steve Henson]
13341
13342 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
13343 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13344
13345 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
13346 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13347
13348 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
13349 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13350
13351 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
13352 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13353
13354 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
13355 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
13356 unused in the certificate verification process.
13357 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13358
13359 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
13360 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
13361 [Steve Henson]
13362
13363 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
13364 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
13365 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
13366
13367 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
13368 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
13369 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
13370 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
13371 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
13372
13373 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
13374 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
13375 [Steve Henson]
13376
13377 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
13378 [Steve Henson]
13379
13380 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
13381 [Paul Sutton]
13382
13383 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
13384 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
13385
13386 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
13387 [Ben Laurie]
13388
13389 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
13390 [Ben Laurie]
13391
13392 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
13393 [Ben Laurie]
13394
13395 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
13396 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
13397 other error libraries.
13398 [Steve Henson]
13399
13400 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
13401 [Steve Henson]
13402
13403 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
13404 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
13405 be read in.
13406 [Steve Henson]
13407
13408 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
13409 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
13410 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
13411 the new set of documentation files.
13412 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13413
13414 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
13415 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
13416 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
13417 number of arguments.
13418 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
13419
13420 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
13421 [Ben Laurie]
13422
13423 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
13424 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
13425 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13426
13427 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
13428 [Ben Laurie]
13429
13430 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
13431 nextstep
13432 ncr-scde
13433 unixware-2.0
13434 unixware-2.0-pentium
13435 sco5-cc.
13436 [Ben Laurie]
13437
13438 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
13439 before they are needed.
13440 [Ben Laurie]
13441
13442 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
13443 [Ben Laurie]
13444
13445
13446 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
13447
13448 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
13449 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
13450 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13451
13452 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
13453 [Paul Sutton]
13454
13455 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
13456 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
13457 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13458
13459 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
13460 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
13461 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
13462
13463 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
13464 when "ssleay" is still not found.
13465 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13466
13467 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
13468 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
13469
13470 *) Updated the README file.
13471 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13472
13473 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
13474 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
13475 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13476
13477 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
13478 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
13479 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13480
13481 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
13482 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
13483 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
13484 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
13485 o removed obsolete TODO file
13486 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
13487 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13488
13489 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
13490 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
13491 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
13492 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
13493 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
13494 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
13495 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13496
13497 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
13498 [Mark J. Cox]
13499
13500 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
13501 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
13502 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
13503 summer 1998.
13504 [The OpenSSL Project]

13513 [Eric A. Young]
13514
13515 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
13516 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
13517 [Eric A. Young]
13518
13519 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
13520 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
13521 available).
13522 [Eric A. Young]
13523
13524 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
13525 binary structures
13526 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
13527
13528 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
13529 [Eric A. Young]
13530
13531 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
13532 [Eric A. Young]
13533
13534 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
13535 [Eric A. Young]
13536
13537 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
13538 [Eric A. Young]
13539
13540 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.

13545
13546 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
13547 [Eric A. Young]
13548
13549 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
13550 [Eric A. Young]
13551
13552 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
13553 [Eric A. Young]
13554
13555 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
13556 [Eric A. Young]
13557
13558 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
13559 [Eric A. Young]
13560
13561 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
13562 [Eric A. Young]
13563
13564 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
13565 [Eric A. Young]
13566
13567 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
13568 [Eric A. Young]
13569
13570 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
13571 [Eric A. Young]
13572
13573 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
13574 [Eric A. Young]
13575
13576 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
13577 [Eric A. Young]
13578
13579 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
13580 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
13581 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
13582 [Eric A. Young]
13583
13584 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
13585 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
13586 [Eric A. Young]
13587
13588 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
13589 [Eric A. Young]
13590
13591 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
13592 [Eric A. Young]

13605 bytes sent in the client random.
13606 [Edward Bishop <ebishop@spyglass.com>]
