10 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
11
12 *) Support for TLSv1.3 added. Note that users upgrading from an earlier
13 version of OpenSSL should review their configuration settings to ensure
14 that they are still appropriate for TLSv1.3. In particular if no TLSv1.3
15 ciphersuites are enabled then OpenSSL will refuse to make a connection
16 unless (1) TLSv1.3 is explicitly disabled or (2) the ciphersuite
17 configuration is updated to include suitable ciphersuites. The DEFAULT
18 ciphersuite configuration does include TLSv1.3 ciphersuites. For further
19 information on this and other related issues please see:
20 https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2018/02/08/tlsv1.3/
21
22 NOTE: In this pre-release of OpenSSL a draft version of the
23 TLSv1.3 standard has been implemented. Implementations of different draft
24 versions of the standard do not inter-operate, and this version will not
25 inter-operate with an implementation of the final standard when it is
26 eventually published. Different pre-release versions may implement
27 different versions of the draft. The final version of OpenSSL 1.1.1 will
28 implement the final version of the standard.
29 TODO(TLS1.3): Remove the above note before final release
30 [Matt Caswell]
31
32 *) Changed Configure so it only says what it does and doesn't dump
33 so much data. Instead, ./configdata.pm should be used as a script
34 to display all sorts of configuration data.
35 [Richard Levitte]
36
37 *) Added processing of "make variables" to Configure.
38 [Richard Levitte]
39
40 *) Added SHA512/224 and SHA512/256 algorithm support.
41 [Paul Dale]
42
43 *) The last traces of Netware support, first removed in 1.1.0, have
44 now been removed.
45 [Rich Salz]
46
47 *) Get rid of Makefile.shared, and in the process, make the processing
48 of certain files (rc.obj, or the .def/.map/.opt files produced from
49 the ordinal files) more visible and hopefully easier to trace and
50 debug (or make silent).
51 [Richard Levitte]
52
53 *) Make it possible to have environment variable assignments as
54 arguments to config / Configure.
55 [Richard Levitte]
56
57 *) Add multi-prime RSA (RFC 8017) support.
58 [Paul Yang]
59
60 *) Add SM3 implemented according to GB/T 32905-2016
61 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
62 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
63 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
64
65 *) Add 'Maximum Fragment Length' TLS extension negotiation and support
66 as documented in RFC6066.
67 Based on a patch from Tomasz Moń
68 [Filipe Raimundo da Silva]
69
70 *) Add SM4 implemented according to GB/T 32907-2016.
71 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
72 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
73 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
74
75 *) Reimplement -newreq-nodes and ERR_error_string_n; the
76 original author does not agree with the license change.
77 [Rich Salz]
78
79 *) Add ARIA AEAD TLS support.
80 [Jon Spillett]
81
82 *) Some macro definitions to support VS6 have been removed. Visual
83 Studio 6 has not worked since 1.1.0
84 [Rich Salz]
85
86 *) Add ERR_clear_last_mark(), to allow callers to clear the last mark
87 without clearing the errors.
88 [Richard Levitte]
89
90 *) Add "atfork" functions. If building on a system that without
91 pthreads, see doc/man3/OPENSSL_fork_prepare.pod for application
92 requirements. The RAND facility now uses/requires this.
93 [Rich Salz]
94
95 *) Add SHA3.
96 [Andy Polyakov]
97
98 *) The UI API becomes a permanent and integral part of libcrypto, i.e.
99 not possible to disable entirely. However, it's still possible to
100 disable the console reading UI method, UI_OpenSSL() (use UI_null()
101 as a fallback).
102
103 To disable, configure with 'no-ui-console'. 'no-ui' is still
104 possible to use as an alias. Check at compile time with the
105 macro OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE. The macro OPENSSL_NO_UI is still
106 possible to check and is an alias for OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE.
107 [Richard Levitte]
108
109 *) Add a STORE module, which implements a uniform and URI based reader of
110 stores that can contain keys, certificates, CRLs and numerous other
111 objects. The main API is loosely based on a few stdio functions,
112 and includes OSSL_STORE_open, OSSL_STORE_load, OSSL_STORE_eof,
113 OSSL_STORE_error and OSSL_STORE_close.
114 The implementation uses backends called "loaders" to implement arbitrary
115 URI schemes. There is one built in "loader" for the 'file' scheme.
116 [Richard Levitte]
117
118 *) Add devcrypto engine. This has been implemented against cryptodev-linux,
119 then adjusted to work on FreeBSD 8.4 as well.
120 Enable by configuring with 'enable-devcryptoeng'. This is done by default
121 on BSD implementations, as cryptodev.h is assumed to exist on all of them.
122 [Richard Levitte]
123
124 *) Module names can prefixed with OSSL_ or OPENSSL_. This affects
125 util/mkerr.pl, which is adapted to allow those prefixes, leading to
126 error code calls like this:
127
128 OSSL_FOOerr(OSSL_FOO_F_SOMETHING, OSSL_FOO_R_WHATEVER);
129
130 With this change, we claim the namespaces OSSL and OPENSSL in a manner
131 that can be encoded in C. For the foreseeable future, this will only
132 affect new modules.
133 [Richard Levitte and Tim Hudson]
134
135 *) Removed BSD cryptodev engine.
136 [Rich Salz]
137
138 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
139 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
140 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
141 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
142 [Richard Levitte]
143
144 *) In the UI interface, make it possible to duplicate the user data. This
145 can be used by engines that need to retain the data for a longer time
146 than just the call where this user data is passed.
147 [Richard Levitte]
148
149 *) Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of applications
150 with OpenSSL 1.0.2.
151 [Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org>]
152
153 *) Fragmented SSL/TLS alerts are no longer accepted. An alert message is 2
154 bytes long. In theory it is permissible in SSLv3 - TLSv1.2 to fragment such
155 alerts across multiple records (some of which could be empty). In practice
156 it make no sense to send an empty alert record, or to fragment one. TLSv1.3
157 prohibts this altogether and other libraries (BoringSSL, NSS) do not
158 support this at all. Supporting it adds significant complexity to the
159 record layer, and its removal is unlikely to cause inter-operability
160 issues.
161 [Matt Caswell]
162
163 *) Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
164 with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
165 The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
166 in OpenSSL 1.2.0.
167 [Richard Levitte]
168
169 *) Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
170 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
171 [Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov]
172
173 *) Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
174 does for RSA, etc.
175 [Richard Levitte]
176
177 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
178 platform rather than 'mingw'.
179 [Richard Levitte]
180
181 *) The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
182 success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
183 in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
184 certificates and CRLs.
185 [Paul Dale]
186
187 *) x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
188 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
189 [Andy Polyakov]
190
191 *) Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
192 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
193 [Richard Levitte]
194
195 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
196 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
197 which is the minimum version we support.
198 [Richard Levitte]
199
200 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
201 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
202 are no longer allowed.
203 [Emilia Käsper]
204
205 *) Add support for ARIA
206 [Paul Dale]
207
208 *) s_client will now send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension by
209 default unless the new "-noservername" option is used. The server name is
210 based on the host provided to the "-connect" option unless overridden by
211 using "-servername".
212 [Matt Caswell]
213
214 *) Add support for SipHash
215 [Todd Short]
216
217 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
218 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
219 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
220 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
221 [Matt Caswell]
222
223 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
224 using the algorithm defined in
225 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
226 [Richard Levitte]
227
228 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
229 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
230
231 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
232 [Emilia Käsper]
233
234 *) The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid patent
235 issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.
236 [Rich Salz]
237
238 Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.0h [xx XXX xxxx]
239
240 *) Removed the OS390-Unix config target. It relied on a script that doesn't
241 exist.
242 [Rich Salz]
243
244 *) rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
245
246 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
247 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
248 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
249 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
250 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
251 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
252 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
253 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
254 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
255 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
256
257 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
258 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
259
260 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
261 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
262 (CVE-2017-3738)
263 [Andy Polyakov]
264
265 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
266
267 *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
268
269 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
270 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
271 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
272 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
273 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
274 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
275 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
276 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
277 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
278 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
279 key that is shared between multiple clients.
280
281 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
282 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
283
284 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
285 (CVE-2017-3736)
286 [Andy Polyakov]
287
288 *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
289
290 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
291 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
292 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
293
294 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
295 (CVE-2017-3735)
296 [Rich Salz]
297
298 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
299
300 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
301 platform rather than 'mingw'.
302 [Richard Levitte]
303
304 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
305 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
306 which is the minimum version we support.
307 [Richard Levitte]
308
309 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
310
311 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
312
313 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
314 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
315 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
316 and servers are affected.
317
318 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
319 (CVE-2017-3733)
320 [Matt Caswell]
321
322 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
323
324 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
325
326 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
327 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
328 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
329
330 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
331 (CVE-2017-3731)
332 [Andy Polyakov]
333
334 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
335
336 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
337 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
338 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
339 of Service attack.
340
341 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
342 (CVE-2017-3730)
343 [Matt Caswell]
344
345 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
346
347 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
348 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
349 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
350 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
351 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
352 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
353 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
354 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
355 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
356 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
357 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
358 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
359 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
360
361 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
362 (CVE-2017-3732)
363 [Andy Polyakov]
364
365 Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
366
367 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
368
369 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
370 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
371 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
372
373 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
374 (CVE-2016-7054)
375 [Richard Levitte]
376
377 *) CMS Null dereference
378
379 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
380 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
381 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
382 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
383 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
384 affected.
385
386 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
387 (CVE-2016-7053)
388 [Stephen Henson]
389
390 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
391
392 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
393 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
394 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
395 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
396 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
397 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
398 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
399 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
400 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
401 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
402 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
403 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
404 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
405 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
406
407 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
408 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
409 providing reproducible case.
410 (CVE-2016-7055)
411 [Andy Polyakov]
412
413 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
414 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
415 [Richard Levitte]
416
417 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
418
419 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
420
421 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
422 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
423 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
424 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
425 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
426 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
427
428 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
429
430 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
431 (CVE-2016-6309)
432 [Matt Caswell]
433
434 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
435
436 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
437
438 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
439 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
440 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
441 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
442 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
443 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
444 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
445
446 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
447 (CVE-2016-6304)
448 [Matt Caswell]
449
450 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
451
452 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
453 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
454 Denial Of Service attack.
455
456 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
457 (CVE-2016-6305)
458 [Matt Caswell]
459
460 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
461 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
462
463 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
464 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
465 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
466 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
467 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
468 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
469 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
470 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
471 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
472 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
473 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
474 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
475 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
476 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
477 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
478
479 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
480 that the connection fails
481 or
482 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
483 very little free memory
484 or
485 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
486 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
487 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
488 memory to service the multiple requests.
489
490 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
491 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
492 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
493 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
494 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.
495
496 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
497 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
498 [Matt Caswell]
499
500 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
501 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
502 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
503 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
504 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
505 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
506 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
507 [Andy Polyakov]
508
509 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
510
511 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
512 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
513 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
514 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
515 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
516 non-ASCII password.
517 [Andy Polyakov]
518
519 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
520 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
521 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
522 [Rich Salz]
523
524 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
525 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
526 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
527 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
528 [Matt Caswell]
529
530 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
531 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
532 success.
533 [Matt Caswell]
534
535 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
536 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
537 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
538 no-ops and deprecated.
539 [Matt Caswell]
540
541 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
542 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
543 were also closed.
544 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
545
546 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
547 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
548 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
549 [Rich Salz]
550
551 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
552 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
553 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
554 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
555 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
556 and the validity of object reference counter.
557 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
558
559 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
560 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
561 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
562 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
563 [Richard Levitte]
564
565 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
566 [Richard Levitte]
567
568 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
569 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
570 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
571 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
572
573 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
574
575 [Richard Levitte]
576
577 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
578 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
579 [Steve Henson]
580
581 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
582 [Andy Polyakov]
583
584 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
585 [Rich Salz]
586
587 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
588 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
589 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
590 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
591 name and is used as is.
592 [Richard Levitte]
593
594 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
595 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
596 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
597 [Rich Salz]
598
599 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
600 the "no-shared" Configure option.
601 [Matt Caswell]
602
603 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
604 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
605 algorithms.
606 [Matt Caswell]
607
608 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
609 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
610 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
611 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
612 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
613 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
614 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
615 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
616 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
617 [Matt Caswell]
618
619 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
620 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
621 enabled with '--debug' builds.
622 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
623
624 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
625 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
626 these have been added.
627 [Matt Caswell]
628
629 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
630 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
631 functions for managing these have been added.
632 [Richard Levitte]
633
634 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
635 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
636 these have been added.
637 [Matt Caswell]
638
639 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
640 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
641 have been added.
642 [Matt Caswell]
643
644 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
645 [Matt Caswell]
646
647 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
648 [Richard Levitte]
649
650 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
651 it is always safe to #include a header now.
652 [Rich Salz]
653
654 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
655 [Richard Levitte]
656
657 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
658 [Rich Salz]
659
660 *) Add support for HKDF.
661 [Alessandro Ghedini]
662
663 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
664 [Bill Cox]
665
666 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
667 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
668 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
669 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
670 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
671 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
672 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
673 [Matt Caswell]
674
675 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
676 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
677 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
678 [Catriona Lucey]
679
680 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
681 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
682 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
683 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
684 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
685 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
686 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
687
688 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
689 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
690 [Todd Short]
691
692 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
693 [Todd Short]
694
695 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
696 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
697 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
698 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
699 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
700 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
701 default cipherlist.
702 [Emilia Käsper]
703
704 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
705 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
706 [Rich Salz]
707
708 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
709 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
710 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
711 [Matt Caswell]
712
713 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
714 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
715 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
716 implemented by other servers.
717 [Emilia Käsper]
718
719 *) Add X25519 support.
720 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
721 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
722 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
723 key generation and key derivation.
724
725 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
726 X25519(29).
727 [Steve Henson]
728
729 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
730 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
731 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
732 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
733 seed, even if the seed is configured.
734
735 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
736 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
737 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
738 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
739 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
740 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
741 that of a valid user.
742 [Emilia Käsper]
743
744 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
745 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
746 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
747 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
748
749 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
750 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
751
752 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
753 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
754 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
755 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
756
757 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
758 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
759 irrelevant.
760 [Richard Levitte]
761
762 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
763 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
764 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
765 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
766 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
767 of how OpenSSL was configured.
768
769 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
770 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
771 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
772 [Richard Levitte]
773
774 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
775 [Rich Salz]
776
777 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
778 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
779 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
780 removed.
781 [Richard Levitte]
782
783 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
784 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
785 old #define's might need to be updated.
786 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
787
788 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
789 [Rich Salz]
790
791 *) New "unified" build system
792
793 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
794 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
795
796 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
797 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
798 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
799
800 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
801 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
802 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
803 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
804 descrip.mms.tmpl.
805
806 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
807 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
808 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
809 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
810 libraries" in INSTALL.
811
812 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
813 [Richard Levitte]
814
815 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
816 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
817 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
818 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
819 [Matt Caswell]
820
821 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
822 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
823
824 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
825 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
826 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
827 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
828 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
829 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
830 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
831 have been adapted accordingly.
832 [Richard Levitte]
833
834 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
835 the leading 0-byte.
836 [Emilia Käsper]
837
838 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
839 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
840 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
841 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
842 [Emilia Käsper]
843
844 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
845 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
846 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
847 'unsigned char*'.
848 [Emilia Käsper]
849
850 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
851 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
852 [Emilia Käsper]
853
854 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
855 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
856 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
857 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
858 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
859 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
860 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
861
862 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
863 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
864
865 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
866 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
867 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
868 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
869 Text::Template.
870
871 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
872 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
873 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
874 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
875 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
876 %target).
877 [Richard Levitte]
878
879 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
880 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
881 straightforward and less interdependent.
882
883 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
884 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
885 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
886
887 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
888 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
889 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
890 installed.
891 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
892 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
893 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
894 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
895
896 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
897 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
898 [Richard Levitte]
899
900 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
901 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
902 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
903 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
904 is present).
905 [Matt Caswell]
906
907 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
908 configuring.
909 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
910
911 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
912 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
913 before trying to build now.*
914 [Rich Salz]
915
916 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
917 has changed.
918 [Rich Salz]
919
920 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
921
922 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
923 the application's responsibility. The application provides
924 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
925 used to authenticate the peer.
926
927 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
928 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
929 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
930 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
931 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
932 [Viktor Dukhovni]
933
934 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
935 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
936 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
937 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
938 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
939 or the 1.1.0 releases.
940
941 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
942 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
943 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
944 support for the deprecated features from the library and
945 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
946 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
947 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
948 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
949 version.
950
951 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
952 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
953 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
954 compile with later releases.
955
956 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
957 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
958 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
959 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
960 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
961 [Viktor Dukhovni]
962
963 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
964 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
965 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
966 MaxProtocol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
967 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
968 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
969 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
970 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
971 [Kurt Roeckx]
972
973 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
974 [Andy Polyakov]
975
976 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
977 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
978 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
979 ECDSA_SIG format.
980
981 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
982 include the ec.h header file instead.
983 [Steve Henson]
984
985 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
986 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
987 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
988 [Kurt Roeckx]
989
990 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
991 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
992 were added:
993
994 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
995 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
996
997 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
998 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
999 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
1000
1001 Additional changes:
1002 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
1003 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
1004 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
1005 an already created structure.
1006 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
1007 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
1008 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
1009 for deprecated builds.
1010 [Richard Levitte]
1011
1012 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
1013 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
1014 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
1015 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
1016 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
1017 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
1018 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
1019 [Matt Caswell]
1020
1021 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
1022 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
1023 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
1024 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
1025 [Kurt Roeckx]
1026
1027 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
1028 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
1029 [Kurt Roeckx]
1030
1031 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
1032 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
1033 [Kurt Roeckx]
1034
1035 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
1036 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
1037 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
1038 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
1039 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
1040 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
1041 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
1042 also been removed.
1043 [Matt Caswell]
1044
1045 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
1046 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
1047 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
1048 [Rich Salz]
1049
1050 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
1051 [Rich Salz]
1052
1053 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
1054 sureware and ubsec.
1055 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
1056
1057 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
1058
1059 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
1060 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
1061
1062 FOO *x;
1063
1064 it must be:
1065
1066 FOO x;
1067
1068 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
1069 set a mandatory field to NULL.
1070
1071 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
1072 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
1073 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
1074 SEQUENCE OF.
1075 [Steve Henson]
1076
1077 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
1078 [Emilia Käsper]
1079
1080 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
1081 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
1082 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
1083 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
1084 [Matt Caswell]
1085
1086 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1087 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
1088 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
1089 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
1090 [Emilia Käsper]
1091
1092 *) Fix no-stdio build.
1093 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
1094 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
1095
1096 *) New testing framework
1097 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
1098 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
1099 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
1100 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
1101 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
1102 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
1103
1104 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
1105
1106 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
1107 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
1108
1109 [Richard Levitte]
1110
1111 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
1112 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
1113 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
1114 and others were changed. All are now documented.
1115 [Rich Salz]
1116
1117 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
1118 return an error
1119 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
1120
1121 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
1122 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
1123
1124 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
1125 original RSA_PSK patch.
1126 [Steve Henson]
1127
1128 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
1129 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
1130 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
1131 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
1132 [Matt Caswell]
1133
1134 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
1135 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
1136 [Richard Levitte]
1137
1138 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
1139 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
1140 hasn't been working properly for a while.
1141 [Emilia Käsper]
1142
1143 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
1144 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
1145 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
1146 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
1147 transferred.
1148 [Matt Caswell]
1149
1150 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
1151 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
1152 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
1153 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
1154 [Matt Caswell]
1155
1156 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
1157 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
1158 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
1159 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
1160 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
1161 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
1162 [Matt Caswell]
1163
1164 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
1165 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
1166 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
1167 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
1168 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
1169 header file has been removed.
1170 [Matt Caswell]
1171
1172 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
1173 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
1174 [Matt Caswell]
1175
1176 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
1177 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
1178 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
1179
1180 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
1181 Added a test.
1182 [Rich Salz]
1183
1184 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
1185 [Rich Salz]
1186
1187 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
1188 sha256
1189 [Rich Salz]
1190
1191 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
1192 [Matt Caswell]
1193
1194 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
1195 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
1196 initial patch which was a great help during development.
1197 [Steve Henson]
1198
1199 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
1200 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
1201 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
1202 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
1203 [Matt Caswell]
1204
1205 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
1206 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
1207 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
1208 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
1209 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
1210 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
1211 [Matt Caswell]
1212
1213 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
1214 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
1215 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
1216 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
1217 [Matt Caswell]
1218
1219 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
1220 compatible client hello.
1221 [Kurt Roeckx]
1222
1223 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
1224 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
1225 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
1226
1227 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
1228 [Rich Salz]
1229
1230 *) Removed old DES API.
1231 [Rich Salz]
1232
1233 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
1234 Sony NEWS4
1235 BEOS and BEOS_R5
1236 NeXT
1237 SUNOS
1238 MPE/iX
1239 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
1240 DGUX
1241 NCR
1242 Tandem
1243 Cray
1244 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
1245 [Rich Salz]
1246
1247 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
1248 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
1249 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
1250 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
1251 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
1252 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
1253 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
1254 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
1255 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
1256 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
1257 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
1258 [Rich Salz]
1259
1260 *) Cleaned up dead code
1261 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
1262 [Rich Salz]
1263
1264 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
1265 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
1266 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
1267 [Rich Salz]
1268
1269 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
1270 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
1271 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
1272 [Rich Salz]
1273
1274 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
1275 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
1276 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
1277
1278 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
1279 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
1280 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
1281
1282 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1283 compilation flags.
1284 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1285
1286 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1287 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
1288 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1289
1290 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1291 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1292
1293 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1294 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1295 server.
1296
1297 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1298 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1299 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1300 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1301
1302 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1303 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1304 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1305 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1306
1307 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1308 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1309 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1310
1311 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1312 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1313 [Steve Henson]
1314
1315 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
1316
1317 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
1318 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
1319
1320 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
1321 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
1322
1323 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
1324 effect.
1325
1326 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
1327
1328 [Steve Henson]
1329
1330 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1331 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1332 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1333 algorithms and include tests cases.
1334 [Steve Henson]
1335
1336 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
1337 enveloped data.
1338 [Steve Henson]
1339
1340 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1341 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1342 [Steve Henson]
1343
1344 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1345 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1346
1347 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
1348 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
1349 [Steve Henson]
1350
1351 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
1352 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
1353 failures.
1354 [Steve Henson]
1355
1356 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
1357 sign or verify all in one operation.
1358 [Steve Henson]
1359
1360 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
1361 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
1362 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
1363 [Steve Henson]
1364
1365 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
1366 [Steve Henson]
1367
1368 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
1369 [Steve Henson]
1370
1371 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
1372 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
1373 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
1374 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
1375 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
1376 [Steve Henson]
1377
1378 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
1379 based on NID.
1380 [Steve Henson]
1381
1382 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
1383 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
1384 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
1385 [Steve Henson]
1386
1387 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
1388 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
1389
1390 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
1391 POST to handle HMAC cases.
1392 [Steve Henson]
1393
1394 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
1395 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
1396 [Steve Henson]
1397
1398 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
1399 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
1400 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1401 [Steve Henson]
1402
1403 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
1404 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
1405 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
1406 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
1407 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
1408 requested amount of entropy.
1409 [Steve Henson]
1410
1411 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
1412 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
1413 [Steve Henson]
1414
1415 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
1416 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
1417 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
1418 support.
1419 [Steve Henson]
1420
1421 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
1422 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
1423 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
1424 [Steve Henson]
1425
1426 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
1427 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
1428 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
1429 will never use XTS mode.
1430 [Steve Henson]
1431
1432 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
1433 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
1434 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
1435 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
1436 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
1437 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
1438 [Steve Henson]
1439
1440 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
1441 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
1442 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
1443 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
1444 [Steve Henson]
1445
1446 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
1447 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
1448 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
1449 [Steve Henson]
1450
1451 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
1452 [Steve Henson]
1453
1454 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
1455 [Steve Henson]
1456
1457 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
1458 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
1459 [Steve Henson]
1460
1461 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
1462 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
1463 [Steve Henson]
1464
1465 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
1466 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
1467 [Steve Henson]
1468
1469 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
1470 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
1471 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
1472 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
1473 and rename any affected symbols.
1474 [Steve Henson]
1475
1476 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
1477 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
1478 [Steve Henson]
1479
1480 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
1481 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
1482 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
1483 [Steve Henson]
1484
1485 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1486 [Steve Henson]
1487
1488 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
1489 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
1490 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
1491 [Steve Henson]
1492
1493 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
1494 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
1495 [Steve Henson]
1496
1497 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
1498 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
1499 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
1500 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
1501 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
1502 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
1503 set before the key.
1504 [Steve Henson]
1505
1506 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
1507 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
1508 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
1509 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
1510 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
1511 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
1512 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
1513 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
1514 [Steve Henson]

1520 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
1521
1522 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1523 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1524
1525 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
1526 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
1527 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
1528 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
1529 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
1530 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
1531
1532 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
1533 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
1534 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
1535 security.

1557 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
1558 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
1559 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
1560 RAND_METHOD structure.
1561 [Steve Henson]
1562
1563 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of

1577
1578 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
1579 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
1580 AES-NI.
1581
1582 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
1583 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
1584 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
1585 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
1586 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
1587 bytes.

1590 (CVE-2016-2107)
1591 [Kurt Roeckx]
1592
1593 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
1594
1595 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
1596 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
1597 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
1598 corruption.
1599
1600 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
1601 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
1602 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
1603 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
1604 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
1605 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
1606
1607 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1608 (CVE-2016-2105)
1609 [Matt Caswell]
1610
1611 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
1612
1613 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
1614 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
1615 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
1616 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
1617 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
1618 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
1619 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
1620 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
1621 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
1622 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
1623 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
1624 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
1625 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
1626 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
1627 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
1628 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.

1631 (CVE-2016-2106)
1632 [Matt Caswell]
1633
1634 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
1635
1636 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
1637 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
1638 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
1639
1640 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
1641 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
1642 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
1643 applications are not affected.

1672
1673 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
1674 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
1675 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
1676 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1677
1678 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
1679 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
1680 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
1681 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
1682 will need to explicitly call either of:
1683
1684 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1685 or
1686 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1687
1688 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
1689 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
1690 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
1691 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
1692 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.

1695
1696 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
1697
1698 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
1699 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
1700 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
1701 considered rare.
1702
1703 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
1704 libFuzzer.
1705 (CVE-2016-0705)
1706 [Stephen Henson]
1707
1708 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
1709
1710 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
1711
1712 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1713 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
1714 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
1715 is configured.
1716
1717 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1718 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1719 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1720 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1721 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1722 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1723 that of a valid user.
1724 (CVE-2016-0798)
1725 [Emilia Käsper]
1726
1727 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
1728
1729 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
1730 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
1731 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
1732 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
1733 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
1734 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
1735 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
1736 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
1737 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
1738 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
1739 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
1740
1741 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
1742 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
1743 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
1744 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
1745 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
1746
1747 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
1748 (CVE-2016-0797)
1749 [Matt Caswell]
1750
1751 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
1752
1753 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
1754 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
1755 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
1756
1757 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
1758 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
1759 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
1760 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
1761 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
1762 also occur.
1763
1764 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
1765 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
1766 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
1767 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
1768 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
1769 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
1770 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
1771 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
1772 as command line arguments.
1773
1774 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
1775 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
1776 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.

1780 [Matt Caswell]
1781
1782 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
1783
1784 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
1785 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
1786 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
1787 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
1788 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
1789
1790 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of

1802
1803 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
1804 *) DH small subgroups
1805
1806 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
1807 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
1808 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
1809 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
1810 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
1811 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
1812 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
1813 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
1814 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
1815 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
1816
1817 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
1818 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
1819 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
1820 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
1821 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
1822
1823 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
1824 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
1825 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
1826 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
1827
1828 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
1829 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
1830

1834
1835 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
1836
1837 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
1838 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
1839 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
1840 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

1849 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1850
1851 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1852 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1853 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1854 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1855 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1856 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1857 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1858 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1859 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1860 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1861 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1862 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

1869
1870 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1871 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1872 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
1873 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
1874 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
1875 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
1876 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client

1908
1909 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
1910 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
1911 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
1912 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
1913 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
1914 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.

1931 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
1932 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
1933 field.
1934
1935 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
1936 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
1937 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with

1947 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
1948 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
1949 time string.
1950
1951 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
1952 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
1953 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
1954 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client

1997 curves, prefer P-256 (both).

2000 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
2001
2002 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
2003
2004 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
2005 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
2006 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
2007
2008 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
2009 University.
2010 (CVE-2015-0291)
2011 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
2012
2013 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
2014
2015 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
2016 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
2017 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
2018 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
2019 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
2020 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
2021 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
2022 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
2023
2024 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
2025 (CVE-2015-0290)
2026 [Matt Caswell]
2027
2028 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
2029
2030 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
2031 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
2032 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
2033 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
2034 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
2035 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
2036 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
2037 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
2038 server.
2039
2040 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
2041 (CVE-2015-0207)
2042 [Matt Caswell]
2043
2044 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
2045
2046 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
2047 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
2048 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
2049 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2050 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2051 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
2052 (CVE-2015-0286)
2053 [Stephen Henson]
2054
2055 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
2056
2057 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2058 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2059 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
2060 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
2061 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2062 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2063 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
2064
2065 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
2066 (CVE-2015-0208)
2067 [Stephen Henson]
2068
2069 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
2070
2071 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
2072 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
2073 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
2074
2075 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
2076 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
2077 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
2078 not affected.
2079 (CVE-2015-0287)
2080 [Stephen Henson]
2081
2082 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
2083
2084 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
2085 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
2086 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2087
2088 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
2089 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
2090 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
2091
2092 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
2093 (CVE-2015-0289)
2094 [Emilia Käsper]
2095
2096 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
2097
2098 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
2099 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
2100 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
2101
2102 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
2103 (OpenSSL development team).
2104 (CVE-2015-0293)
2105 [Emilia Käsper]
2106
2107 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
2108
2109 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
2110 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
2111 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
2112 (CVE-2015-1787)
2113 [Matt Caswell]
2114
2115 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
2116
2117 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
2118 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
2119 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
2120 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
2121 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
2122 SSL_client_methodv23)
2123 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
2124 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
2125
2126 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
2127 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
2128 output may be predictable.
2129
2130 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
2131 succeed on an unpatched platform:
2132
2133 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
2134 (CVE-2015-0285)
2135 [Matt Caswell]
2136
2137 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
2138
2139 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
2140 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
2141 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
2142 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
2143 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
2144 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
2145
2146 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
2147 commit 517073cd4b.
2148 (CVE-2015-0209)
2149 [Matt Caswell]
2150
2151 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
2152
2153 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
2154 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
2155
2156 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
2157 (CVE-2015-0288)
2158 [Stephen Henson]
2159
2160 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
2161 [Kurt Roeckx]
2162
2163 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
2164
2165 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
2166 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
2167 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
2168 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
2169 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
2170 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
2171 [Andy Polyakov]
2172
2173 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
2174 (other platforms pending).
2175 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
2176
2177 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
2178 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
2179 [Rob Stradling]
2180
2181 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2182 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2183 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2184 [Bodo Moeller]
2185
2186 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
2187 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
2188 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
2189 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
2190 [Andy Polyakov]
2191
2192 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
2193 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
2194
2195 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
2196 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
2197 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
2198 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
2199 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
2200
2201 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
2202 [Andy Polyakov]
2203
2204 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
2205 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
2206 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
2207 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
2208
2209 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
2210 RSAZ.
2211 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
2212
2213 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
2214 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
2215 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
2216 for TLS encrypt.
2217
2218 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
2219 [Andy Polyakov]
2220
2221 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
2222 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
2223 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
2224 [Steve Henson]
2225
2226 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2227 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2228 [Steve Henson]
2229
2230 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2231 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2232 [Steve Henson]
2233
2234 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2235 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2236 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2237 algorithms and include tests cases.
2238 [Steve Henson]
2239
2240 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
2241 structure.
2242 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
2243
2244 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
2245 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
2246 [Steve Henson]
2247
2248 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
2249 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
2250 summary of the connection parameters.
2251 [Steve Henson]
2252
2253 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
2254 of connection parameters.
2255 [Steve Henson]
2256
2257 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
2258 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
2259
2260 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
2261 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
2262 [Steve Henson]
2263
2264 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
2265 [Steve Henson]
2266
2267 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
2268 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
2269 [Steve Henson]
2270
2271 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
2272 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
2273 [Steve Henson]
2274
2275 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
2276 certificates.
2277 [Steve Henson]
2278
2279 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
2280 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
2281 CRLs using the OCSP API.
2282 [Steve Henson]
2283
2284 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
2285 [Steve Henson]
2286
2287 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
2288 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
2289 [Steve Henson]
2290
2291 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
2292 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
2293 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
2294 tracing.
2295 [Steve Henson]
2296
2297 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
2298 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
2299 [Steve Henson]
2300
2301 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
2302 OID NID.
2303 [Steve Henson]
2304
2305 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
2306 client to OpenSSL.
2307 [Steve Henson]
2308
2309 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
2310 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
2311 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
2312 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
2313 [Steve Henson]
2314
2315 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
2316 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
2317 [Steve Henson]
2318
2319 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
2320 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
2321 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
2322 comparison.
2323 [Steve Henson]
2324
2325 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
2326 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
2327 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
2328 use the certificate.
2329 [Steve Henson]
2330
2331 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
2332 [Steve Henson]
2333
2334 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
2335 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
2336 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
2337 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
2338 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
2339 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
2340 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
2341
2342 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
2343 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
2344
2345 [Steve Henson]
2346
2347 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
2348 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
2349 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
2350 [Steve Henson]
2351
2352 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
2353 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
2354 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
2355 supported signature algorithms.
2356 [Steve Henson]
2357
2358 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
2359 [Steve Henson]
2360
2361 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
2362 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
2363 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
2364 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
2365 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
2366 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
2367 certificate and specify the whole chain.
2368 [Steve Henson]
2369
2370 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
2371 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
2372 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
2373 to have similar checks in it.
2374
2375 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
2376 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
2377 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
2378 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
2379 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
2380 [Steve Henson]
2381
2382 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
2383 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
2384 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
2385 shared signature algorithms.
2386 [Steve Henson]
2387
2388 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
2389 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
2390 to support them.
2391 [Steve Henson]
2392
2393 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
2394 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
2395 it couldn't be removed.
2396 [Steve Henson]
2397
2398 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
2399 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
2400 [Steve Henson]
2401
2402 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
2403 functions. Add manual page.
2404 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
2405
2406 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
2407 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
2408 a certificate.
2409 [Steve Henson]
2410
2411 *) Fix OCSP checking.
2412 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
2413
2414 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
2415 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
2416 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
2417 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
2418 utility) or reject.
2419 [Steve Henson]
2420
2421 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
2422 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
2423 [Steve Henson]
2424
2425 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
2426 platform support for Linux and Android.
2427 [Andy Polyakov]
2428
2429 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
2430 [Andy Polyakov]
2431
2432 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2433 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
2434 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
2435 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
2436 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
2437 [Steve Henson]
2438
2439 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
2440 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
2441 the new parameter format automatically.
2442 [Steve Henson]
2443
2444 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
2445 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
2446 [Steve Henson]
2447
2448 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
2449 [Steve Henson]
2450
2451 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
2452 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
2453 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
2454 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
2455 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
2456 [Steve Henson]
2457
2458 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
2459 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
2460 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
2461 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
2462 to set list of supported curves.
2463 [Steve Henson]
2464
2465 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
2466 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
2467 to print out received values.
2468 [Steve Henson]
2469
2470 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
2471 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
2472 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
2473 [Steve Henson]
2474
2475 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
2476 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
2477 [Steve Henson]
2478
2479 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
2480 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
2481 [Steve Henson]
2482
2483 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
2484 certificates.
2485 [Steve Henson]
2486
2487 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
2488 the certificate.
2489 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
2490 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
2491 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
2492
2493 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
2494
2495 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
2496 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
2497
2498 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
2499
2500 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
2501 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
2502 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
2503 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
2504 (CVE-2014-3571)
2505 [Steve Henson]
2506
2507 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
2508 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
2509 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
2510 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
2511 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
2512 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
2513 (CVE-2015-0206)
2514 [Matt Caswell]
2515
2516 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
2517 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
2518 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
2519 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
2520 (CVE-2014-3569)
2521 [Kurt Roeckx]
2522
2523 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
2524 ECDH ciphersuites.
2525
2526 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
2527 reporting this issue.
2528 (CVE-2014-3572)
2529 [Steve Henson]
2530
2531 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
2532 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
2533 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
2534 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
2535 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
2536 INRIA or reporting this issue.
2537 (CVE-2015-0204)
2538 [Steve Henson]
2539
2540 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
2541 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
2542 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
2543 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
2544 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
2545 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
2546 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
2547 this issue.
2548 (CVE-2015-0205)
2549 [Steve Henson]
2550
2551 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
2552 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
2553
2554 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
2555 and can vary with the CTX.
2556 [Adam Langley]
2557
2558 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
2559
2560 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
2561 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
2562 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
2563 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
2564 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
2565
2566 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
2567
2568 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
2569 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
2570
2571 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
2572
2573 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
2574 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
2575 errors for some broken certificates.
2576
2577 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
2578
2579 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
2580
2581 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
2582 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
2583
2584 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
2585 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
2586 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
2587 (negative or with leading zeroes).
2588
2589 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
2590 of the OpenSSL core team.
2591
2592 (CVE-2014-8275)
2593 [Steve Henson]
2594
2595 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
2596 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
2597 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
2598 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
2599 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
2600 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
2601 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
2602 the OpenSSL core team.
2603 (CVE-2014-3570)
2604 [Andy Polyakov]
2605
2606 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
2607 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
2608 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
2609 sanity and breaks all known clients.
2610 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
2611
2612 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
2613 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
2614 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
2615 [Emilia Käsper]
2616
2617 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
2618 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
2619 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2620 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
2621 announced in the initial ServerHello.
2622
2623 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
2624 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2625 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
2626 [Emilia Käsper]
2627
2628 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
2629
2630 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
2631
2632 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
2633 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
2634 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
2635 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
2636 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
2637 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
2638 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
2639
2640 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
2641 (CVE-2014-3513)
2642 [OpenSSL team]
2643
2644 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
2645
2646 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
2647 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
2648 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
2649 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
2650 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
2651 attack.
2652 (CVE-2014-3567)
2653 [Steve Henson]
2654
2655 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
2656
2657 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
2658 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
2659 configured to send them.
2660 (CVE-2014-3568)
2661 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
2662
2663 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
2664 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
2665 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
2666 (CVE-2014-3566)
2667 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2668
2669 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
2670
2671 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
2672 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
2673 DigestInfo structures.
2674
2675 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
2676
2677 [Steve Henson]
2678
2679 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
2680
2681 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
2682 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
2683 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
2684
2685 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
2686 Group for discovering this issue.
2687 (CVE-2014-3512)
2688 [Steve Henson]
2689
2690 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
2691 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
2692 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
2693 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
2694 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
2695
2696 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
2697 researching this issue.
2698 (CVE-2014-3511)
2699 [David Benjamin]
2700
2701 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
2702 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
2703 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
2704 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
2705
2706 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
2707 issue.
2708 (CVE-2014-3510)
2709 [Emilia Käsper]
2710
2711 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
2712 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2713 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2714 (CVE-2014-3507)
2715 [Adam Langley]
2716
2717 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
2718 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
2719 Denial of Service attack.
2720 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2721 (CVE-2014-3506)
2722 [Adam Langley]
2723
2724 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
2725 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
2726 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2727 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
2728 this issue.
2729 (CVE-2014-3505)
2730 [Adam Langley]
2731
2732 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
2733 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
2734 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
2735
2736 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
2737 issue.
2738 (CVE-2014-3509)
2739 [Gabor Tyukasz]
2740
2741 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
2742 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
2743 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
2744 Denial of Service attack.
2745
2746 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
2747 discovering and researching this issue.
2748 (CVE-2014-5139)
2749 [Steve Henson]
2750
2751 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
2752 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
2753 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
2754 output to the attacker.
2755
2756 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
2757 (CVE-2014-3508)
2758 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
2759
2760 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2761 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2762 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2763 [Bodo Moeller]
2764
2765 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
2766
2767 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
2768 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
2769 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
2770
2771 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
2772 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
2773 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
2774
2775 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
2776 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
2777 in a DoS attack.
2778
2779 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
2780 (CVE-2014-0221)
2781 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
2782
2783 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
2784 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
2785 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
2786 code on a vulnerable client or server.
2787
2788 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
2789 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
2790
2791 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
2792 are subject to a denial of service attack.
2793
2794 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
2795 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
2796 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
2797
2798 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2799 compilation flags.
2800 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2801
2802 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2803 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
2804 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2805
2806 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2807 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2808
2809 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
2810
2811 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2812 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2813 server.
2814
2815 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2816 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
2817 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2818 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2819
2820 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2821 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2822 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2823 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2824
2825 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2826 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2827 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2828
2829 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
2830
2831 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
2832 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
2833 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
2834 is at least 512 bytes long.
2835
2836 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
2837
2838 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
2839
2840 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
2841 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
2842 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
2843 (CVE-2013-4353)
2844
2845 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
2846 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
2847 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
2848 [Steve Henson]
2849
2850 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
2851 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
2852 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
2853 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
2854 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
2855 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
2856 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
2857
2858 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
2859
2860 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
2861 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
2862 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2863
2864 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
2865
2866 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
2867
2868 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
2869 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
2870 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
2871
2872 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information

2874 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
2875 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
2876 (CVE-2013-0169)
2877 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2878
2879 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
2880 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
2881 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
2882 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
2883 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
2884 (CVE-2012-2686)
2885 [Adam Langley]
2886
2887 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2888 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2889 [Steve Henson]
2890
2891 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2892 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2893
2894 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
2895 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
2896 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
2897 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
2898 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
2899
2900 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
2901 [Steve Henson]
2902
2903 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
2904 if renegotiating.
2905 [Steve Henson]
2906
2907 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
2908
2909 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
2910 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
2911
2912 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
2913 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
2914 (CVE-2012-2333)
2915 [Steve Henson]
2916
2917 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
2918 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
2919 [Steve Henson]
2920
2921 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
2922 approved.
2923 [Steve Henson]
2924
2925 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
2926
2927 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
2928 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
2929 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
2930 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disabling
2931 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
2932 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
2933 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
2934 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
2935 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
2936 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
2937 [Steve Henson]
2938
2939 *) In order to ensure interoperability SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
2940 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
2941 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
2942 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
2943 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
2944 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
2945 client side.
2946 [Andy Polyakov]
2947
2948 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
2949
2950 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
2951 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
2952 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
2953
2954 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
2955 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
2956 (CVE-2012-2110)
2957 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
2958
2959 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
2960 [Adam Langley]
2961
2962 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
2963 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
2964
2965 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
2966 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
2967 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
2968 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
2969 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
2970 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
2971 Most broken servers should now work.
2972 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
2973 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
2974 [Steve Henson]
2975
2976 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
2977 [Andy Polyakov]

2979 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
2980
2981 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
2982 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
2983 [Steve Henson]
2984
2985 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
2986 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
2987 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
2988 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
2989 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
2990 [Steve Henson]
2991
2992 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
2993 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
2994 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
2995 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
2996 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
2997 [Steve Henson]
2998
2999 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
3000 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3001
3002 *) Add support for SCTP.
3003 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3004
3005 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3006 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3007
3008 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
3009
3010 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
3011 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
3012 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
3013 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
3014 - s390x: z196 support;
3015 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
3016
3017 [Andy Polyakov]
3018
3019 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
3020 (removal of unnecessary code)
3021 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
3022
3023 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
3024 [Eric Rescorla]
3025
3026 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
3027 [Eric Rescorla]
3028
3029 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
3030 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
3031 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
3032 by Google.
3033 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3034
3035 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
3036 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
3037 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
3038 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
3039 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
3040
3041 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
3042 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
3043 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
3044
3045 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
3046 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
3047 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
3048
3049 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
3050 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
3051 implementations).
3052 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3053
3054 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
3055 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
3056 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
3057 [Steve Henson]
3058
3059 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
3060 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
3061 particular PSS.
3062 [Steve Henson]
3063
3064 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
3065 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
3066 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
3067 [Steve Henson]
3068
3069 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
3070 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
3071 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
3072 the appropriate parameters.
3073 [Steve Henson]
3074
3075 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
3076 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
3077 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
3078 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
3079 against a number of sample certificates.
3080 [Steve Henson]
3081
3082 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
3083 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
3084
3085 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
3086 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
3087
3088 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
3089 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
3090 parameters r, s.
3091 [Steve Henson]
3092
3093 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
3094 RFC3211.
3095 [Steve Henson]
3096
3097 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
3098 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
3099 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
3100 password based CMS).
3101 [Steve Henson]
3102
3103 *) Session-handling fixes:
3104 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
3105 but also support Session Tickets.
3106 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
3107 presented a ticket with an expired session.
3108 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
3109 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
3110 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
3111 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3112
3113 *) Fix PSK session representation.
3114 [Bodo Moeller]
3115
3116 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
3117
3118 This work was sponsored by Intel.
3119 [Andy Polyakov]
3120
3121 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
3122 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
3123 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
3124 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
3125 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
3126 [Steve Henson]
3127
3128 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
3129 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
3130 [Steve Henson]
3131
3132 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
3133 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
3134 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
3135 [Steve Henson]
3136
3137 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
3138 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
3139 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
3140 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
3141 [Steve Henson]
3142
3143 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
3144 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
3145 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
3146 [Steve Henson]
3147
3148 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
3149 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
3150
3151 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
3152 [Steve Henson]
3153
3154 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
3155 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
3156 [Steve Henson]
3157
3158 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
3159 [Steve Henson]
3160
3161 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
3162 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
3163 [Steve Henson]
3164
3165 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
3166 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
3167 [Steve Henson]
3168
3169 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
3170 [Steve Henson]
3171
3172 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
3173 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
3174 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
3175 [Steve Henson]
3176
3177 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3178 [Steve Henson]
3179
3180 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3181 [Steve Henson]
3182
3183 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
3184 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
3185 [Steve Henson]
3186
3187 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
3188 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
3189 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
3190 [Steve Henson]
3191
3192 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
3193 [Steve Henson]
3194
3195 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
3196 and enable MD5.
3197 [Steve Henson]
3198
3199 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
3200 FIPS modules versions.
3201 [Steve Henson]
3202
3203 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
3204 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
3205 until after the certificate request message is received.
3206 [Steve Henson]
3207
3208 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
3209 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
3210 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
3211 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
3212 [Steve Henson]
3213
3214 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
3215 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
3216 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
3217 support yet and no support for client certificates.
3218 [Steve Henson]
3219
3220 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
3221 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
3222 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
3223 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
3224 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
3225 and version checking.
3226 [Steve Henson]
3227
3228 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
3229 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
3230 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
3231 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
3232 [Steve Henson]
3233
3234 *) Add SRP support.
3235 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
3236
3237 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
3238 [Steve Henson]
3239
3240 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
3241 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
3242 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3243
3244 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
3245 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
3246 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
3247 [Steve Henson]
3248
3249 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
3250 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
3251
3252 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
3253 a few changes are required:
3254
3255 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
3256 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
3257 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
3258 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
3259 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
3260 [Steve Henson]
3261
3262 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
3263
3264 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
3265 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
3266 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
3267 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
3268 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
3269 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
3270 an MMA defence is not necessary.
3271 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
3272 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
3273 [Steve Henson]
3274
3275 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
3276 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
3277 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
3278 [Steve Henson]
3279
3280 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
3281
3282 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
3283 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
3284 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
3285 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
3286 [Antonio Martin]
3287
3288 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
3289
3290 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
3291 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
3292 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
3293 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
3294 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
3295 paper describing this attack can be found at:
3296 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
3297 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3298 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3299 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
3300 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
3301 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
3302 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
3303
3304 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
3305 (CVE-2011-4576)
3306 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3307
3308 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
3309 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
3310 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
3311 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3312
3313 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
3314 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
3315
3316 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
3317 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
3318 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
3319 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3320
3321 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3322 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3323
3324 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
3325 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3326
3327 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
3328 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3329
3330 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
3331 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
3332 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3333
3334 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
3335 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
3336 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
3337
3338 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
3339 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
3340 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
3341 the last update always remained unused).
3342 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3343
3344 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
3345 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
3346
3347 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
3348
3349 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
3350 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
3351 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
3352
3353 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
3354 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
3355 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3356
3357 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
3358 [Bodo Moeller]
3359
3360 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
3361 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
3362 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
3363 [Steve Henson]
3364
3365 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
3366 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
3367
3368 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
3369
3370 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
3371
3372 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
3373
3374 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
3375 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3376
3377 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
3378 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
3379 ambiguous.
3380 [Steve Henson]
3381
3382 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
3383
3384 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
3385 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
3386 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
3387 [Steve Henson]
3388
3389 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
3390 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
3391 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
3392 [Ben Laurie]
3393
3394 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
3395
3396 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
3397 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
3398 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
3399 [Steve Henson]
3400
3401 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
3402 a DLL.
3403 [Steve Henson]
3404
3405 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
3406
3407 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
3408 (CVE-2010-1633)
3409 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
3410
3411 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
3412
3413 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
3414 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
3415 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
3416 [Steve Henson]
3417
3418 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
3419 [Steve Henson]
3420
3421 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
3422 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
3423 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
3424
3425 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
3426 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
3427 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
3428 [Steve Henson]
3429
3430 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
3431 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
3432 [Steve Henson]
3433
3434 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
3435 some responders need this.
3436 [Steve Henson]
3437
3438 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
3439 correctly.
3440 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3441
3442 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
3443 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
3444 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
3445 [Steve Henson]
3446
3447 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
3448 [Steve Henson]
3449
3450 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
3451 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
3452 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
3453 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
3454 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
3455 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
3456 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
3457 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
3458 [Steve Henson]
3459
3460 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
3461 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
3462 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
3463 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3464
3465 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
3466 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
3467
3468 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
3469 be used on C++.
3470 [Steve Henson]
3471
3472 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
3473 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
3474 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
3475 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
3476 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
3477 attempting to work them out.
3478 [Steve Henson]
3479
3480 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
3481 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
3482 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
3483 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
3484 [Steve Henson]
3485
3486 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
3487 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
3488 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
3489 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
3490 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
3491 [Steve Henson]
3492
3493 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
3494 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
3495 you can do:
3496
3497 openssl sha256 foo
3498
3499 as well as:
3500
3501 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
3502
3503 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
3504
3505 [Steve Henson]
3506
3507 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
3508 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3509
3510 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
3511 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
3512
3513 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
3514 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
3515 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
3516 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
3517 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
3518 [Steve Henson]
3519
3520 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
3521 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
3522 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
3523 [Steve Henson]
3524
3525 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
3526 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
3527 [Steve Henson]
3528
3529 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
3530 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
3531
3532 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
3533 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
3534 [Steve Henson]
3535
3536 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
3537 [Ben Laurie]
3538
3539 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
3540 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
3541 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
3542 CONF_VALUE.
3543 [Ben Laurie]
3544
3545 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
3546 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
3547 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
3548 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
3549 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
3550 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
3551 [Steve Henson]
3552
3553 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
3554 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
3555
3556 This work was sponsored by Google.
3557 [Steve Henson]
3558
3559 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
3560 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
3561 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
3562 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
3563 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
3564 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
3565 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
3566 default.
3567
3568 This work was sponsored by Google.
3569 [Steve Henson]
3570
3571 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
3572
3573 This work was sponsored by Google.
3574 [Steve Henson]
3575
3576 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
3577 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
3578 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
3579 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
3580
3581 This work was sponsored by Google.
3582 [Steve Henson]
3583
3584 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
3585 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
3586 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
3587 CRL functionality in future.
3588
3589 This work was sponsored by Google.
3590 [Steve Henson]
3591
3592 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
3593
3594 This work was sponsored by Google.
3595 [Steve Henson]
3596
3597 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
3598 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
3599
3600 This work was sponsored by Google.
3601 [Steve Henson]
3602
3603 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
3604 and URI types are currently supported.
3605
3606 This work was sponsored by Google.
3607 [Steve Henson]
3608
3609 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
3610 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
3611 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
3612 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
3613 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
3614 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
3615 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
3616 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
3617
3618 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
3619 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
3620 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
3621
3622 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
3623 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
3624 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
3625 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
3626
3627 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
3628 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
3629 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
3630 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
3631 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
3632 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
3633 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
3634 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
3635 of &errno.)
3636 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
3637
3638 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
3639 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
3640 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
3641
3642 This work was sponsored by Google.
3643 [Steve Henson]
3644
3645 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
3646 [Ben Laurie]
3647
3648 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3649 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
3650 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
3651 [Ben Laurie]
3652
3653 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
3654 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
3655 [Nick Mathewson]
3656
3657 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3658 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
3659 [Ben Laurie]
3660
3661 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
3662 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
3663 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
3664 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
3665 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
3666 content types and variants.
3667 [Steve Henson]
3668
3669 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
3670 [Steve Henson]
3671
3672 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
3673 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
3674 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
3675 files from the associated perl scripts.
3676 [Steve Henson]
3677
3678 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
3679 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
3680 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3681
3682 *) s390x assembler pack.
3683 [Andy Polyakov]
3684
3685 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
3686 "family."
3687 [Andy Polyakov]
3688
3689 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
3690 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
3691 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
3692 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
3693 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
3694 to use. For example, specify an option
3695
3696 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
3697
3698 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
3699 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
3700 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
3701 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
3702 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
3703 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
3704
3705 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
3706 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
3707 an internal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
3708 return non-zero for success.
3709
3710 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
3711 by using
3712
3713 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
3714 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3715
3716 where
3717
3718 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
3719 void *arg;
3720
3721 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
3722 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
3723 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
3724 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
3725 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
3726 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
3727 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
3728 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
3729 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
3730
3731 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
3732 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
3733 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
3734 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
3735 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
3736 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
3737
3738 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
3739 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
3740 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
3741 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
3742 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
3743 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
3744
3745 [Bodo Moeller]
3746
3747 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
3748 MAC.
3749
3750 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3751
3752 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3753 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3754 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3755 supported.
3756
3757 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3758 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3759 SSL_SESSION.
3760
3761 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3762 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3763 with no application modification.
3764
3765 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3766 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3767
3768 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3769 or server extensions to be examined.
3770
3771 This work was sponsored by Google.
3772 [Steve Henson]
3773
3774 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
3775 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
3776 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
3777
3778 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
3779 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
3780 ciphersuite support.
3781 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
3782
3783 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
3784 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
3785 to output in BER and PEM format.
3786 [Steve Henson]
3787
3788 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
3789 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
3790 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
3791 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
3792 -macopt options to dgst utility.
3793 [Steve Henson]
3794
3795 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
3796 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
3797 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
3798 utility.
3799 [Steve Henson]
3800
3801 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
3802 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
3803 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
3804 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
3805 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
3806 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
3807 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
3808 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
3809 enabled again.
3810
3811 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
3812 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
3813 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
3814 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
3815
3816 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
3817 functionality) such that between otherwise identical
3818 ciphersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
3819 the default order.
3820 [Bodo Moeller]
3821
3822 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
3823 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
3824 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
3825 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
3826 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
3827 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
3828 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
3829 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
3830 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
3831
3832 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
3833 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
3834 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
3835 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
3836 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
3837 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
3838 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
3839 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
3840 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
3841 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
3842 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
3843 kinds of kludges.
3844
3845 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
3846 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
3847 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
3848
3849 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
3850 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
3851 "CAMELLIA256".
3852 [Bodo Moeller]
3853
3854 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
3855 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
3856 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
3857 [Nils Larsch]
3858
3859 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
3860 it yet and it is largely untested.
3861 [Steve Henson]
3862
3863 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
3864 [Nils Larsch]
3865
3866 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
3867 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
3868 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
3869 [Steve Henson]
3870
3871 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
3872 [Andy Polyakov]
3873
3874 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
3875 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
3876 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
3877 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
3878 [Steve Henson]
3879
3880 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
3881 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
3882 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
3883 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
3884 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
3885 [Steve Henson]
3886
3887 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
3888 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
3889 [Cryptocom]
3890
3891 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
3892 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
3893 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
3894 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
3895 [Steve Henson]
3896
3897 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
3898 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
3899 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
3900 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
3901 [Steve Henson]
3902
3903 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
3904 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
3905 [Steve Henson]
3906
3907 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
3908 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
3909 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
3910 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
3911 [Steve Henson]
3912
3913 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
3914 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
3915 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
3916 [Steve Henson]
3917
3918 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
3919 utility.
3920 [Steve Henson]
3921
3922 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
3923 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
3924 [Steve Henson]
3925
3926 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
3927 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
3928 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
3929 if necessary.
3930 [Steve Henson]
3931
3932 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
3933 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
3934 to free up any added signature OIDs.
3935 [Steve Henson]
3936
3937 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
3938 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
3939 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
3940 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
3941 [Steve Henson]
3942
3943 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
3944 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
3945 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
3946 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
3947 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
3948 the array representation useful in a more general context.
3949 [Douglas Stebila]
3950
3951 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
3952 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
3953 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
3954 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
3955 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
3956
3957 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
3958 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
3959 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
3960 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
3961 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
3962 protocol).
3963
3964 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
3965 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
3966 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
3967 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
3968
3969 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
3970 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
3971 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
3972 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
3973 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
3974
3975 aECDH - ECDH cert
3976 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
3977 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
3978
3979 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
3980 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
3981
3982 [Bodo Moeller]
3983
3984 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
3985 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
3986 [Steve Henson]
3987
3988 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
3989 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
3990 [Steve Henson]
3991
3992 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
3993 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
3994 functional reference processing.
3995 [Steve Henson]
3996
3997 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enhanced versions of
3998 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
3999 process.
4000 [Steve Henson]
4001
4002 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
4003 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
4004 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
4005 [Steve Henson]
4006
4007 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
4008 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
4009 application to support multiple signers.
4010 [Steve Henson]
4011
4012 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
4013 digest MAC.
4014 [Steve Henson]
4015
4016 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
4017 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
4018 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
4019 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
4020 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
4021 [Steve Henson]
4022
4023 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
4024 new API.
4025 [Steve Henson]
4026
4027 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
4028 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
4029 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
4030 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
4031 a no op.
4032 [Steve Henson]
4033
4034 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
4035 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
4036 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
4037 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
4038 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
4039 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
4040 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
4041 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
4042 [Steve Henson]
4043
4044 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
4045 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
4046 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
4047 between digests and public key types.
4048 [Steve Henson]
4049
4050 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
4051 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
4052 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
4053 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
4054 [Steve Henson]
4055
4056 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
4057 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
4058 key ASN1 method.
4059 [Steve Henson]
4060
4061 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
4062 [Steve Henson]
4063
4064 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
4065 pkeyutl.
4066 [Steve Henson]
4067
4068 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
4069 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
4070 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
4071 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
4072 pkey, genpkey.
4073 [Steve Henson]
4074
4075 *) BeOS support.
4076 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4077
4078 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
4079 manual pages.
4080 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4081
4082 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
4083 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
4084 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
4085 functionality for RSA.
4086 [Steve Henson]
4087
4088 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
4089 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
4090 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
4091 [Steve Henson]
4092
4093 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
4094 key API, doesn't do much yet.
4095 [Steve Henson]
4096
4097 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
4098 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
4099 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
4100 [Steve Henson]
4101
4102 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
4103 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4104 [Douglas Stebila]
4105
4106 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
4107 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
4108 [Steve Henson]
4109
4110 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
4111 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
4112 type.
4113 [Steve Henson]
4114
4115 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
4116 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
4117 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
4118 structure.
4119 [Steve Henson]
4120
4121 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
4122 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
4123 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
4124 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
4125 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
4126 of public and private key structures.
4127 [Steve Henson]
4128
4129 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
4130 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4131 [Douglas Stebila]
4132
4133 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
4134 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
4135 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
4136
4137 New ciphersuites:
4138 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
4139 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
4140
4141 New functions:
4142 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
4143 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
4144 SSL_get_psk_identity
4145 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
4146
4147 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
4148
4149 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
4150 and response verification functionality.
4151 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
4152
4153 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4154 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4155 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4156 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4157 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4158 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4159 server_name extension.
4160
4161 New functions (subject to change):
4162
4163 SSL_get_servername()
4164 SSL_get_servername_type()
4165 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4166
4167 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4168
4169 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4170 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4171 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4172 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4173 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4174
4175 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4176
4177 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4178 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4179 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4180 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4181 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4182 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4183 option.
4184
4185 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
4186
4187 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
4188 [Andy Polyakov]
4189
4190 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
4191 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
4192 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
4193 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
4194 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
4195 [Andy Polyakov]
4196
4197 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
4198 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
4199 macro.
4200 [Bodo Moeller]
4201
4202 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
4203 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
4204 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
4205 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
4206 [Andy Polyakov]
4207
4208 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
4209 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
4210 Save memory by setting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
4211 using the maximum available value.
4212 [Steve Henson]
4213
4214 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
4215 in addition to the text details.
4216 [Bodo Moeller]
4217
4218 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
4219 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
4220 handle several customised structures at all.
4221 [Steve Henson]
4222
4223 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
4224 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
4225 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
4226 [Steve Henson]
4227
4228 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
4229 [Steve Henson]
4230
4231 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
4232 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
4233 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
4234 [Steve Henson]
4235
4236 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
4237 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
4238 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
4239 [Nils Larsch]
4240
4241 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
4242 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
4243 all fields.
4244 [Steve Henson]
4245
4246 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
4247 [Steve Henson]
4248
4249 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
4250 [NTT]
4251
4252 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
4253
4254 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
4255 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
4256 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
4257 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
4258 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
4259 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
4260 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
4261 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
4262
4263 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
4264 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
4265 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
4266
4267 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
4268
4269 *) Always check bn_wexpand() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
4270 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
4271
4272 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
4273 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
4274 [Bodo Moeller]
4275
4276 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
4277 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
4278 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
4279 [Steve Henson]
4280
4281 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
4282 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
4283 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
4284 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
4285 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
4286 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
4287 [Steve Henson]
4288
4289 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
4290 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
4291 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
4292 [Steve Henson]
4293
4294 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
4295 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
4296 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
4297 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
4298 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
4299 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
4300 CVE-2009-4355.
4301 [Steve Henson]
4302
4303 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
4304 change when encrypting or decrypting.
4305 [Bodo Moeller]
4306
4307 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
4308 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
4309 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
4310 [Steve Henson]
4311
4312 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
4313 [Steve Henson]
4314
4315 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
4316 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
4317 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
4318 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
4319 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
4320 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
4321 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
4322 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
4323 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
4324 [Steve Henson]
4325
4326 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
4327 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
4328 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
4329 [Steve Henson]
4330
4331 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
4332 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
4333 [Steve Henson]
4334
4335 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
4336 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
4337 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
4338 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
4339 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
4340 know what you are doing.
4341 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
4342
4343 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
4344 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
4345 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
4346 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
4347 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
4348 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
4349 the handshake.
4350 [Steve Henson]
4351
4352 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
4353 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
4354 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
4355 correctly.
4356 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4357
4358 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
4359 warnings in other configurations.
4360 [Steve Henson]
4361
4362 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
4363 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
4364 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
4365 systems need.
4366 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
4367
4368 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
4369 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
4370 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
4371
4372 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
4373 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
4374 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
4375 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
4376 [Steve Henson]
4377
4378 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
4379 and restored.
4380 [Steve Henson]
4381
4382 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
4383 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
4384 clash.
4385 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4386
4387 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
4388 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
4389 other than a simple chain.
4390 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
4391
4392 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
4393 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
4394 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
4395 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
4396 [Steve Henson]
4397
4398 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
4399 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
4400 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
4401 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
4402 left. Additionally every future message was buffered, even if the
4403 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
4404 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
4405 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
4406 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4407
4408 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
4409 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
4410 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
4411 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
4412 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
4413 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
4414 (CVE-2009-1377)
4415 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4416
4417 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
4418 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
4419 [Daniel Mentz]
4420
4421 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
4422 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
4423
4424 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
4425 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
4426
4427 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
4428
4429 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
4430 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
4431 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
4432 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
4433 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
4434 you're doing.
4435 [Ben Laurie]
4436
4437 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
4438
4439 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
4440 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
4441 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
4442 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
4443
4444 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
4445 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
4446 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
4447 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4448
4449 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
4450 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
4451 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
4452 [Steve Henson]
4453
4454 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
4455 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
4456 level.
4457 [Steve Henson]
4458
4459 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
4460 to handle some structures.
4461 [Steve Henson]
4462
4463 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
4464 for a '\n'
4465 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
4466
4467 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
4468 [Matthieu Herrb]
4469
4470 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
4471 [Steve Henson]
4472
4473 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
4474 [Steve Henson]
4475
4476 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
4477 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
4478 chosen compiler.
4479 [Ben Laurie]
4480
4481 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
4482
4483 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
4484 (CVE-2008-5077).
4485 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
4486
4487 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
4488 [Ben Laurie]
4489
4490 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
4491 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
4492 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
4493 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
4494
4495 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
4496 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
4497
4498 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
4499 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
4500 [Bodo Moeller]
4501
4502 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
4503 s_client and s_server.
4504 [Ben Laurie]
4505
4506 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
4507 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4508
4509 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
4510 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
4511
4512 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
4513 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
4514 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
4515 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
4516 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
4517 [Bodo Moeller]
4518
4519 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
4520
4521 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
4522 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
4523 [PR #1679]
4524
4525 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
4526 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
4527 [Nagendra Modadugu]
4528
4529 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
4530 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
4531 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
4532 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
4533
4534 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
4535 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
4536
4537 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
4538
4539 *) Various precautionary measures:
4540
4541 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
4542
4543 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
4544 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
4545 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
4546
4547 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
4548 outside the expected range.
4549
4550 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
4551 builds.
4552
4553 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
4554
4555 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
4556 the load fails. Useful for distros.
4557 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
4558
4559 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
4560 [Steve Henson]
4561
4562 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
4563 [Huang Ying]
4564
4565 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
4566
4567 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4568 [Steve Henson]
4569
4570 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
4571 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
4572 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
4573
4574 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4575 [Steve Henson]
4576
4577 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
4578 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
4579 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
4580 files.
4581 [Steve Henson]
4582
4583 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
4584
4585 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
4586 handshake which could lead to a client crash as found using the
4587 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
4588 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
4589
4590 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
4591 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
4592 [Joe Orton]
4593
4594 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
4595
4596 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
4597 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
4598 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
4599
4600 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
4601
4602 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
4603 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
4604 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
4605 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
4606 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4607
4608 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
4609 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
4610 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
4611 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
4612 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
4613 invalid read after the end of 'db').
4614 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4615
4616 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
4617
4618 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
4619 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
4620 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
4621 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
4622 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
4623
4624 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
4625 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
4626
4627 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
4628 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
4629 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
4630 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
4631 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
4632
4633 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
4634
4635 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
4636 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
4637 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
4638 sets may exist with different names.
4639 [Steve Henson]
4640
4641 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
4642 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
4643 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
4644 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
4645 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
4646 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
4647 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
4648 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
4649 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
4650 implementation.
4651 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
4652
4653 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
4654 implementation in the following ways:
4655
4656 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
4657 hard coded.
4658
4659 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
4660 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
4661 ignored for embedded content.
4662
4663 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
4664 with the enable-cms configuration option.
4665 [Steve Henson]
4666
4667 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
4668 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
4669 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
4670 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
4671
4672 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
4673 uncompresses any data passed through it.
4674 [Steve Henson]
4675
4676 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
4677 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
4678 [Steve Henson]
4679
4680 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
4681 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
4682 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
4683 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
4684 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
4685 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
4686 data.
4687 [Steve Henson]
4688
4689 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
4690 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
4691 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4692
4693 *) Netware support:
4694
4695 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
4696 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
4697 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
4698 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
4699 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
4700 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
4701 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
4702 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
4703 platform
4704 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
4705 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
4706 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
4707 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
4708 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
4709 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
4710 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
4711
4712 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
4713 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
4714 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
4715 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
4716 to s_client and s_server.
4717 [Steve Henson]
4718
4719 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
4720
4721 *) Fix various bugs:
4722 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
4723 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
4724 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
4725 + Fix ia64 assembler code
4726 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
4727
4728 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
4729
4730 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
4731 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
4732 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
4733 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
4734 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
4735 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
4736 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
4737 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
4738 [Andy Polyakov]
4739
4740 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
4741 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
4742 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
4743 Steve Henson]
4744
4745 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4746 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4747 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4748 supported.
4749
4750 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4751 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4752 SSL_SESSION.
4753
4754 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4755 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4756 with no application modification.
4757
4758 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4759 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4760
4761 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4762 or server extensions to be examined.
4763
4764 This work was sponsored by Google.
4765 [Steve Henson]
4766
4767 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4768 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4769 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4770 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4771 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4772 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4773 server_name extension.
4774
4775 New functions (subject to change):
4776
4777 SSL_get_servername()
4778 SSL_get_servername_type()
4779 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4780
4781 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4782
4783 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4784 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4785 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4786 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4787 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4788
4789 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4790
4791 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4792 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4793 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4794 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4795 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4796 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4797 option.
4798
4799 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
4800
4801 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
4802 [Steve Henson]
4803
4804 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
4805 [Andy Polyakov]
4806
4807 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
4808 (which previously caused an internal error).
4809 [Bodo Moeller]
4810
4811 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
4812 [Ben Laurie]
4813
4814 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
4815 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
4816
4817 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
4818 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
4819 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
4820
4821 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
4822 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
4823 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
4824 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
4825
4826 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4827 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4828 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
4829 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
4830
4831 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
4832 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
4833 information. For detailed background information, see
4834 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
4835 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
4836 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
4837 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
4838 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
4839 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
4840 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
4841 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
4842 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
4843 remove a conditional branch.
4844
4845 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
4846 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
4847 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
4848 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
4849 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
4850 remains as a deprecated alias.
4851
4852 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
4853 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
4854 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
4855 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
4856
4857 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
4858 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
4859 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
4860 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
4861 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
4862 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
4863 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
4864 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
4865
4866 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
4867
4868 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
4869 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
4870 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
4871 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
4872 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
4873 with applications using a single external cache for quite
4874 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
4875 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
4876 in a different context.
4877 [Bodo Moeller]
4878
4879 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4880 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4881 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4882 [Bodo Moeller]
4883
4884 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
4885 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
4886 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
4887
4888 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
4889
4890 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
4891 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
4892 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4893 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
4894 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
4895 [Victor Duchovni]
4896
4897 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
4898 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
4899 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
4900 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
4901 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
4902 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
4903 [Bodo Moeller]
4904
4905 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4906 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4907 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4908 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4909 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4910 [Bodo Moeller]
4911
4912 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
4913 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
4914
4915 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4916 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4917 Improve header file function name parsing.
4918 [Steve Henson]
4919
4920 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
4921 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
4922 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
4923
4924 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
4925
4926 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4927 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4928 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4929
4930 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4931 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4932
4933 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4934 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4935
4936 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4937 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4938 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4939
4940 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
4941 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
4942 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
4943 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
4944 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
4945 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
4946 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
4947 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
4948 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
4949
4950 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
4951 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
4952 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
4953 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
4954 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
4955
4956 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
4957 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
4958 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
4959 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
4960 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
4961 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
4962 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
4963 multiple values to extend the available space.
4964
4965 [Bodo Moeller]
4966
4967 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
4968
4969 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4970 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4971
4972 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
4973 [Ben Laurie]
4974
4975 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4976 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4977 undesirable limitations.
4978 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4979
4980 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
4981 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
4982 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
4983 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
4984 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
4985 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
4986 to avoid potential handshake problems.
4987 [Bodo Moeller]
4988
4989 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4990
4991 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4992 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4993 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4994
4995 The latter two were purportedly from
4996 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4997 appear there.
4998
4999 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
5000 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5001 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5002 [Bodo Moeller]
5003
5004 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5005 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5006 [Bodo Moeller]
5007
5008 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
5009 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
5010 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
5011 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
5012
5013 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5014 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5015 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
5016 [NTT]
5017
5018 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
5019 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
5020 necessarily true if compression is enabled and can result in false
5021 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
5022 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
5023 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
5024 [Steve Henson]
5025
5026 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
5027
5028 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
5029 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
5030 [Steve Henson]
5031
5032 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
5033 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
5034
5035 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5036 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
5037 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
5038 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
5039 [Douglas Stebila]
5040
5041 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
5042 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
5043 [Steve Henson]
5044
5045 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
5046 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
5047 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
5048 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
5049 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
5050 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
5051 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
5052 can't be loaded.
5053 [Steve Henson]
5054
5055 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
5056 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
5057 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
5058 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
5059 [Steve Henson]
5060
5061 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
5062 under VC++ build system.
5063 [Steve Henson]
5064
5065 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
5066 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
5067 [Richard Levitte]
5068
5069 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
5070
5071 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5072 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5073 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5074 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5075 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5076
5077 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5078 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5079 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5080
5081 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
5082 [Steve Henson]
5083
5084 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
5085 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5086 [Nils Larsch]
5087
5088 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
5089 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
5090
5091 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
5092 [Nick Mathewson]
5093
5094 *) Extended Windows CE support.
5095 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
5096
5097 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
5098 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5099 [Steve Henson]
5100
5101 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
5102 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
5103 smime utility.
5104 [Steve Henson]
5105
5106 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
5107
5108 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5109 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5110
5111 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
5112 [Richard Levitte]
5113
5114 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
5115 key into the same file any more.
5116 [Richard Levitte]
5117
5118 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
5119 [Andy Polyakov]
5120
5121 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
5122 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
5123
5124 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
5125 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
5126 [Richard Levitte]
5127
5128 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
5129 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
5130 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
5131 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
5132 this only applies when building 'shared'.
5133 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
5134
5135 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
5136 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
5137 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
5138 [Steve Henson]
5139
5140 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
5141 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
5142 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
5143 - add new function for parameter creation
5144 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
5145 BN_BLINDING parameters
5146 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
5147 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
5148 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
5149 threads.
5150 [Nils Larsch]
5151
5152 *) Add support for DTLS.
5153 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
5154
5155 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
5156 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
5157 [Walter Goulet]
5158
5159 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
5160 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
5161 [Nils Larsch]
5162
5163 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
5164 the apps/openssl applications.
5165 [Nils Larsch]
5166
5167 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
5168 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
5169 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
5170 [Ben Laurie]
5171
5172 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
5173 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
5174
5175 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
5176 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
5177
5178 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
5179 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
5180 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
5181 avoid this algorithm.)
5182
5183 [Bodo Moeller]
5184
5185 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
5186 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
5187 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
5188 [Richard Levitte]
5189
5190 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
5191 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
5192 [Andy Polyakov]
5193
5194 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
5195 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
5196 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
5197 pod file:
5198
5199 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
5200
5201 The blank line is mandatory.
5202
5203 [Steve Henson]
5204
5205 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
5206 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
5207 sources.
5208 [Steve Henson]
5209
5210 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
5211 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
5212
5213 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
5214 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
5215 to support policy checking and print out.
5216 [Steve Henson]
5217
5218 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
5219 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
5220 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
5221 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
5222
5223 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
5224 [Geoff Thorpe]
5225
5226 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
5227 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
5228
5229 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
5230 implementation contributed by IBM.
5231 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
5232
5233 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
5234 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
5235 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
5236 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
5237
5238 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
5239 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
5240
5241 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
5242 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
5243 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
5244 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
5245 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
5246 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
5247 [Steve Henson]
5248
5249 *) Reduced header interdependencies by declaring more opaque objects in
5250 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
5251 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
5252 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
5253 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
5254 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
5255 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
5256 [Geoff Thorpe]
5257
5258 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
5259 [Steve Henson]
5260
5261 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
5262 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
5263 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
5264 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
5265 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
5266 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
5267 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
5268 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
5269 [Steve Henson]
5270
5271 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
5272 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
5273 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
5274 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
5275 [Steve Henson]
5276
5277 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
5278 syntax:
5279
5280 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
5281 [Steve Henson]
5282
5283 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
5284 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
5285 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
5286 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
5287 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
5288 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
5289 BN_CTX's "bundling".
5290 [Geoff Thorpe]
5291
5292 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
5293 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
5294 [Geoff Thorpe]
5295
5296 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
5297 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
5298 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
5299 [Steve Henson]
5300
5301 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
5302 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
5303 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
5304 below).
5305 [Geoff Thorpe]
5306
5307 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
5308 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
5309 [Richard Levitte]
5310
5311 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
5312 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
5313 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
5314 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
5315 [Geoff Thorpe]
5316
5317 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
5318 initialised value as BN_new().
5319 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
5320
5321 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
5322 [Steve Henson]
5323
5324 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
5325 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
5326 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
5327 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
5328 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
5329 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
5330 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
5331 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
5332 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
5333 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
5334 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
5335 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
5336 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
5337 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
5338 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
5339
5340 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
5341 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
5342 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
5343 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
5344 [Geoff Thorpe]
5345
5346 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
5347 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
5348 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
5349 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
5350 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
5351 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
5352 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
5353 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
5354 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
5355 [Geoff Thorpe]
5356
5357 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
5358 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
5359 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
5360 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
5361 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
5362 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
5363 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
5364 [Geoff Thorpe]
5365
5366 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
5367 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
5368 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
5369 these have been updated also.
5370 [Geoff Thorpe]
5371
5372 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
5373 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
5374 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
5375 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
5376 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
5377 functions.
5378 [Steve Henson]
5379
5380 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
5381 structure of type "other".
5382 [Steve Henson]
5383
5384 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
5385 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
5386 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
5387 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
5388 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
5389 situation in the script.
5390 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5391
5392 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5393 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
5394 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
5395 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
5396 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
5397 used as premaster secret.
5398 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5399
5400 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
5401 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
5402 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5403
5404 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
5405 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
5406
5407 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
5408 control of the error stack.
5409 [Richard Levitte]
5410
5411 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
5412 [Richard Levitte]
5413
5414 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
5415 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
5416 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
5417 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
5418 [Richard Levitte]
5419
5420 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
5421 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
5422 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
5423 [Richard Levitte]
5424
5425 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
5426 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
5427 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
5428 a memory area.
5429 [Richard Levitte]
5430
5431 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
5432 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
5433 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
5434 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
5435 [Richard Levitte]
5436
5437 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
5438 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
5439 the following flags are defined:
5440
5441 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
5442 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5443 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
5444 number.
5445
5446 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
5447 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5448 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
5449 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
5450 returns zero.
5451 [Richard Levitte]
5452
5453 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
5454 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
5455 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
5456 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
5457 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
5458 [Richard Levitte]
5459
5460 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
5461 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
5462 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
5463 [Richard Levitte]
5464
5465 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5466 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5467 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5468 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5469 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5470 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5471 [Richard Levitte]
5472
5473 *) Generate multi-valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
5474 req and dirName.
5475 [Steve Henson]
5476
5477 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
5478 [Steve Henson]
5479
5480 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
5481 [Steve Henson]
5482
5483 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
5484 [Steve Henson]
5485
5486 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
5487 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
5488 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
5489 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
5490 default implementation more easily.
5491 [Geoff Thorpe]
5492
5493 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
5494 in config files.
5495 [Steve Henson]
5496
5497 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
5498 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
5499 [Richard Levitte]
5500
5501 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
5502 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
5503 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
5504 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
5505
5506 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
5507 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
5508 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
5509 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
5510 [Steve Henson]
5511
5512 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
5513 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
5514 to do it.
5515 [Richard Levitte]
5516
5517 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
5518 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
5519 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
5520 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
5521 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
5522 scalar * generator).
5523 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
5524
5525 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
5526 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
5527 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
5528 correctly.
5529 [Steve Henson]
5530
5531 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
5532 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
5533 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
5534 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
5535 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
5536 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
5537 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
5538 linker additions, eg;
5539 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
5540 [Geoff Thorpe]
5541
5542 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
5543 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
5544 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
5545 [Geoff Thorpe]
5546
5547 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5548 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5549 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
5550 via PR#459)
5551 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5552
5553 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
5554 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
5555 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
5556 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
5557 [Geoff Thorpe]
5558
5559 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
5560 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
5561 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
5562 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
5563 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
5564 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
5565 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
5566 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
5567 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
5568 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
5569
5570 Example for using the new callback interface:
5571
5572 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
5573 void *my_arg = ...;
5574 BN_GENCB my_cb;
5575
5576 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
5577
5578 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
5579 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
5580 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
5581 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
5582 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
5583 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
5584 */
5585
5586 [Geoff Thorpe]
5587
5588 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
5589 available to TLS with the number defined in
5590 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
5591 [Richard Levitte]
5592
5593 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
5594 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
5595
5596 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
5597 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5598 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5599 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
5600
5601 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
5602 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
5603
5604 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
5605 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
5606 well.
5607 [Richard Levitte]
5608
5609 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
5610 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
5611 [Richard Levitte]
5612
5613 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
5614 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
5615 and a macro that behave like
5616 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
5617
5618 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
5619 [Nils Larsch]
5620
5621 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
5622 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
5623 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
5624 if applicable.
5625 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5626
5627 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
5628 [Bodo Moeller]
5629
5630 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
5631 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
5632 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
5633 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
5634 directory engines/.
5635 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
5636 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
5637 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
5638 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
5639 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
5640 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
5641 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
5642 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
5643
5644 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
5645 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
5646 [Richard Levitte]
5647
5648 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
5649 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
5650
5651 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
5652 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
5653 files while avoiding the low level API.
5654
5655 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
5656 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
5657 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
5658 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
5659
5660 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
5661 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
5662 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
5663 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
5664 instead of the low level API.
5665 [Steve Henson]
5666
5667 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
5668 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
5669 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
5670 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
5671 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
5672 PKCS#7 code.
5673
5674 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
5675 down to the template encoder.
5676 [Steve Henson]
5677
5678 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
5679 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
5680 [Bodo Moeller]
5681
5682 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
5683 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
5684 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
5685 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5686
5687 *) Add ECDH engine support.
5688 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5689
5690 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
5691 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5692
5693 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
5694 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
5695 [Bodo Moeller]
5696
5697 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
5698 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
5699 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
5700 [Bodo Moeller]
5701
5702 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
5703 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
5704
5705 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5706 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5707
5708 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
5709 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
5710 New EC_METHOD:
5711
5712 EC_GF2m_simple_method
5713
5714 New API functions:
5715
5716 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
5717 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
5718 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
5719 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5720 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5721 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
5722
5723 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
5724 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
5725 enable it).
5726
5727 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
5728 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
5729 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
5730 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
5731 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
5732 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
5733 various internal method names.)
5734
5735 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
5736 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
5737
5738 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5739 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5740
5741 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
5742 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
5743
5744 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
5745 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
5746 methods are undefined.
5747
5748 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5749 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5750
5751 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
5752 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
5753 length of the modulus.
5754
5755 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5756 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5757
5758 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
5759 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
5760
5761 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5762 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5763
5764 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
5765 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
5766 used) in the following functions [macros]:
5767
5768 BN_GF2m_add
5769 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
5770 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
5771 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
5772 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
5773 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
5774 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
5775 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
5776 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
5777 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
5778
5779 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
5780 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
5781
5782 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
5783 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
5784 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
5785 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
5786 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
5787 where
5788 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
5789 This applies to the following functions:
5790
5791 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
5792 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
5793 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
5794 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
5795 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
5796 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
5797 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
5798 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
5799 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5800 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5801
5802 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
5803
5804 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5805 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5806
5807 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
5808
5809 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
5810 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
5811 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
5812 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
5813 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
5814
5815 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5816 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5817
5818 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
5819 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
5820 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
5821
5822 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
5823 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
5824
5825 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
5826 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
5827 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
5828 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
5829 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5830
5831 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
5832 functions
5833 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
5834 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
5835 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
5836 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
5837 These control ASN1 encoding details:
5838 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
5839 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
5840 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
5841 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
5842 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
5843 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
5844 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
5845
5846 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
5847 functions
5848 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
5849 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
5850 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
5851 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
5852 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5853
5854 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
5855 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
5856 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
5857 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5858
5859 *) Add functions
5860 EC_POINT_point2bn()
5861 EC_POINT_bn2point()
5862 EC_POINT_point2hex()
5863 EC_POINT_hex2point()
5864 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
5865 EC_POINT_oct2point().
5866 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5867
5868 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
5869 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
5870 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
5871 EC_GROUP_get_order()
5872 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
5873 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
5874 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
5875 adding different types of curves.
5876 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
5877
5878 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
5879 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
5880 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
5881 [Bodo Moeller]
5882
5883 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
5884 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
5885
5886 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
5887 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
5888 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
5889 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5890
5891 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
5892
5893 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
5894 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
5895
5896 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
5897 library. Most notably,
5898 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
5899 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
5900 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
5901 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
5902 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
5903 extracted before the specific public key;
5904 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
5905 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5906
5907 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
5908 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
5909 function
5910 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
5911 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
5912 EC_get_builtin_curves().
5913 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
5914 accessed via
5915 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
5916 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
5917 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
5918
5919 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5920 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5921 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5922 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5923 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5924 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5925 differing sizes.
5926 [Richard Levitte]
5927
5928 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
5929
5930 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
5931 sensitive data.
5932 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
5933
5934 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5935 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5936 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5937 [Bodo Moeller]
5938
5939 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
5940 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5941 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
5942 [Victor Duchovni]
5943
5944 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
5945 [Steve Henson]
5946
5947 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
5948 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
5949 [Steve Henson]
5950
5951 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
5952 run algorithm test programs.
5953 [Steve Henson]
5954
5955 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
5956 [Steve Henson]
5957
5958 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5959 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5960 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5961 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5962 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5963 [Bodo Moeller]
5964
5965 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5966 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5967 [Steve Henson]
5968
5969 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
5970
5971 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5972 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5973 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5974
5975 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5976 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5977
5978 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5979 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5980
5981 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5982 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5983 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5984
5985 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
5986 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
5987 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
5988 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
5989 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
5990 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
5991 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
5992 [Bodo Moeller]
5993
5994 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
5995
5996 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5997 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5998
5999 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
6000 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
6001 undesirable limitations.
6002 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6003
6004 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
6005
6006 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
6007 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
6008 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
6009
6010 The latter two were purportedly from
6011 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
6012 appear there.
6013
6014 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
6015 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
6016 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
6017 [Bodo Moeller]
6018
6019 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
6020 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
6021 [Bodo Moeller]
6022
6023 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
6024
6025 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
6026 module in FIPS mode.
6027 [Steve Henson]
6028
6029 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
6030 [Steve Henson]
6031
6032 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
6033 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
6034 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
6035 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
6036 [Steve Henson]
6037
6038 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
6039
6040 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
6041 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
6042 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
6043 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
6044 the difference induced by this change.
6045 [Andy Polyakov]
6046
6047 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
6048
6049 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
6050 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
6051 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
6052 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
6053 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
6054
6055 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
6056 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
6057 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
6058
6059 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
6060 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
6061 [Steve Henson]
6062
6063 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
6064 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
6065 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
6066 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
6067 biased k.)
6068 [Bodo Moeller]
6069
6070 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
6071 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
6072 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
6073 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
6074 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
6075
6076 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
6077 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
6078 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
6079 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
6080 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
6081 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
6082
6083 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
6084
6085 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
6086 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
6087 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
6088 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
6089 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
6090 [Bodo Moeller]
6091
6092 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
6093 clients need.
6094 [Steve Henson]
6095
6096 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
6097 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
6098 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
6099 [Steve Henson]
6100
6101 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
6102 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
6103 structures constant.
6104 [Steve Henson]
6105
6106 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
6107
6108 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
6109 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
6110
6111 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
6112 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
6113 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
6114 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
6115 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
6116 some needed definitions.
6117 [Steve Henson]
6118
6119 *) Undo Cygwin change.
6120 [Ulf Möller]
6121
6122 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
6123 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
6124 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
6125 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
6126 [Richard Levitte]
6127
6128 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
6129
6130 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
6131 server and client random values. Previously
6132 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
6133 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
6134
6135 This change has negligible security impact because:
6136
6137 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
6138 data.
6139
6140 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
6141 handshake.
6142
6143 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
6144 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
6145 values.
6146
6147 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
6148 to our attention.
6149
6150 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
6151
6152 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
6153 [Ulf Möller]
6154
6155 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
6156 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
6157 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
6158
6159 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
6160 [Steve Henson]
6161
6162 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
6163 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
6164 [Andy Polyakov]
6165
6166 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
6167 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
6168 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
6169
6170 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
6171 [Steve Henson]
6172
6173 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
6174 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
6175 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
6176 certificates.
6177 [Steve Henson]
6178
6179 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
6180 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
6181 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
6182 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
6183
6184 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
6185 has chosen to ignore this fault)
6186 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
6187 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
6188 been given)
6189 [Richard Levitte]
6190
6191 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
6192
6193 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
6194 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
6195 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
6196 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
6197 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
6198 [Steve Henson]
6199
6200 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
6201 [Steve Henson]
6202
6203 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
6204 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
6205
6206 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
6207 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
6208 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
6209 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
6210 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
6211 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
6212 rather than being initialized to 1.
6213 [Steve Henson]
6214
6215 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
6216
6217 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6218 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6219 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6220
6221 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
6222 (CVE-2004-0112)
6223 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6224
6225 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6226 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6227 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6228 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6229 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6230 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6231 [Richard Levitte]
6232
6233 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
6234 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
6235 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
6236 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
6237 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
6238 for these cases.
6239 [Steve Henson]
6240
6241 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
6242 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
6243 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
6244 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
6245 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
6246 [Steve Henson]
6247
6248 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
6249 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
6250 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
6251 < 0.9.7.
6252 [Steve Henson]
6253
6254 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
6255 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6256
6257 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
6258 [Steve Henson]
6259
6260 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
6261
6262 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6263
6264 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6265 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6266
6267 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
6268
6269 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6270 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6271
6272 [Steve Henson]
6273
6274 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
6275 exiting on the first error in a request.
6276 [Steve Henson]
6277
6278 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6279 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6280 specifications.
6281 [Steve Henson]
6282
6283 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6284 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6285 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6286 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6287
6288 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6289 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6290 [Richard Levitte]
6291
6292 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
6293 blocks during encryption.
6294 [Richard Levitte]
6295
6296 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
6297 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
6298 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
6299 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
6300 certain size.
6301 [Steve Henson]
6302
6303 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
6304 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
6305 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
6306 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
6307 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
6308 parser.
6309 [Steve Henson]
6310
6311 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
6312
6313 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6314 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6315 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6316 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6317 [Bodo Moeller]
6318
6319 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6320 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6321 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6322 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6323 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6324
6325 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6326 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6327 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6328 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6329 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6330 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6331 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6332 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6333 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6334 [Bodo Moeller]
6335
6336 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
6337 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
6338 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
6339 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
6340 [Geoff Thorpe]
6341
6342 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
6343 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
6344 [Ulf Moeller]
6345
6346 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
6347
6348 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6349 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
6350 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6351 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6352 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6353
6354 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6355 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6356 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6357
6358 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
6359 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
6360 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
6361 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
6362 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
6363
6364 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
6365 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
6366 used by default when no-err is given.
6367 [Richard Levitte]
6368
6369 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
6370 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
6371
6372 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
6373 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
6374 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
6375 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
6376 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
6377
6378 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
6379 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
6380 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
6381 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
6382
6383 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
6384
6385 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
6386
6387 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
6388
6389 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
6390 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
6391 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
6392 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
6393 root is omitted).
6394 [Steve Henson]
6395
6396 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
6397 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6398
6399 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
6400 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
6401 [Steve Henson]
6402
6403 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6404 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6405 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
6406 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
6407 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6408
6409 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
6410 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
6411 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
6412 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
6413 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
6414 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6415 followup to PR #377.
6416 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6417
6418 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
6419 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
6420 [Andy Polyakov]
6421
6422 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
6423 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
6424 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
6425 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
6426
6427 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
6428
6429 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
6430 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
6431
6432 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
6433 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
6434 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
6435 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
6436 client and server.
6437 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6438 PR #377.
6439 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6440
6441 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
6442 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
6443 removed entirely.
6444 [Richard Levitte]
6445
6446 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
6447 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
6448 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
6449 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
6450 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
6451 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
6452 of libcrypto.
6453 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
6454 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
6455 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
6456 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
6457 have to be made anyway).
6458 [Richard Levitte]
6459
6460 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
6461 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
6462 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
6463 [Steve Henson]
6464
6465 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
6466 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
6467 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
6468 [Richard Levitte]
6469
6470 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
6471 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
6472 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6473
6474 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
6475 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
6476 edit numbers of the version.
6477 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6478
6479 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
6480 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
6481 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
6482
6483 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
6484 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6485
6486 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6487 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6488 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6489
6490 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
6491 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6492
6493 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
6494 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6495
6496 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
6497 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6498
6499 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
6500 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6501
6502 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
6503 overflows.
6504 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6505
6506 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
6507 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
6508 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6509
6510 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
6511 representations in a platform independent manner.
6512 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6513
6514 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6515 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6516 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6517
6518 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
6519 indents.
6520 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6521
6522 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
6523 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6524
6525 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
6526 full. Fixed.
6527 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6528
6529 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
6530 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
6531 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6532
6533 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
6534 unconditionally).
6535 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6536
6537 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
6538 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6539
6540 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
6541 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6542
6543 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
6544 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6545
6546 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
6547 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6548
6549 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
6550 CBCParameter.
6551 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6552
6553 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
6554 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6555
6556 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
6557 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6558
6559 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
6560 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
6561 exploitable.
6562 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6563
6564 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
6565 the 0.9.6 release series:
6566
6567 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6568 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
6569 (CVE-2002-0657)
6570 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6571
6572 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
6573 [Richard Levitte]
6574
6575 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
6576 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
6577
6578 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
6579 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
6580
6581 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
6582 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
6583 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
6584 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
6585
6586 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
6587 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
6588 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
6589
6590 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
6591 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
6592 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
6593 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6594
6595 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
6596 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
6597 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
6598 some local tweaks:
6599
6600 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
6601 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
6602 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
6603 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6604 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6605 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
6606 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
6607 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
6608 done
6609
6610 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
6611 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
6612 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
6613 [Richard Levitte]
6614
6615 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
6616 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
6617 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
6618 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
6619 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
6620
6621 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
6622 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
6623
6624 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
6625 error in AES-CFB decryption.
6626 [Richard Levitte]
6627
6628 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
6629 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
6630 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
6631 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
6632 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
6633 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
6634 [Steve Henson]
6635
6636 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
6637 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
6638 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
6639 [Steve Henson]
6640
6641 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
6642 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
6643 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6644
6645 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
6646 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
6647 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
6648 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
6649 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
6650 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
6651 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
6652 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6653
6654 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
6655 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
6656 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
6657 ENGINE is initialized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
6658 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
6659 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be initialized at all.
6660 [Steve Henson]
6661
6662 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
6663 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
6664 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
6665 declaration has been changed from
6666 int (*cb)()
6667 into
6668 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
6669 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
6670 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
6671 has been changed into
6672 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
6673
6674 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
6675 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
6676 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
6677
6678 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
6679 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
6680
6681 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
6682 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
6683 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
6684 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
6685 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
6686 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
6687 always load it have also been added.
6688 [Steve Henson]
6689
6690 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
6691 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
6692 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6693
6694 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
6695
6696 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
6697 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
6698 because it couldn't be used for anything.
6699
6700 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
6701 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
6702 command line option can be used to specify an
6703 alternative file.
6704 [Steve Henson]
6705
6706 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
6707 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
6708 [Steve Henson]
6709
6710 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
6711 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
6712 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
6713 [Steve Henson]
6714
6715 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
6716 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6717 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
6718 to work with the new engine framework.
6719 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
6720
6721 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
6722 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6723 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
6724 to work with the new engine framework.
6725 [Richard Levitte]
6726
6727 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
6728 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
6729 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
6730
6731 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
6732 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
6733
6734 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
6735 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
6736 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
6737 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
6738 FORMAT_IISSGC.
6739 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6740
6741 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6742 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6743
6744 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
6745 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
6746
6747 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
6748 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
6749 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
6750 [Ben Laurie]
6751
6752 *) Add new functions
6753 ERR_peek_last_error
6754 ERR_peek_last_error_line
6755 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
6756 These are similar to
6757 ERR_peek_error
6758 ERR_peek_error_line
6759 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
6760 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
6761 still in the error queue.
6762 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
6763
6764 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
6765 like:
6766 default_algorithms = ALL
6767 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
6768 [Steve Henson]
6769
6770 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
6771 [Steve Henson]
6772
6773 *) New experimental application configuration code.
6774 [Steve Henson]
6775
6776 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
6777 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
6778 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
6779 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6780
6781 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
6782 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
6783
6784 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
6785 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6786
6787 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
6788 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
6789 [Bodo Moeller]
6790
6791 *) New functions/macros
6792
6793 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
6794 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
6795 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
6796 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
6797
6798 to request calling a callback function
6799
6800 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
6801 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
6802
6803 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
6804 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
6805 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
6806 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
6807 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
6808 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
6809 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
6810 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
6811 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
6812 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
6813
6814 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
6815 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
6816 [Bodo Moeller]
6817
6818 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
6819 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
6820 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
6821 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
6822 the configuration scripts.
6823
6824 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
6825 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
6826 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
6827
6828 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
6829 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6830
6831 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
6832 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
6833 when reusing an existing buffer.
6834 [Bodo Moeller]
6835
6836 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
6837 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
6838 [Steve Henson]
6839
6840 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
6841 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
6842 [Ben Laurie]
6843
6844 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
6845 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
6846 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
6847 has the same effect.
6848 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6849
6850 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
6851 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
6852 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
6853 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
6854 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
6855 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
6856 exception.
6857
6858 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
6859 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
6860 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
6861 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
6862
6863 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
6864 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
6865 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
6866 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
6867
6868 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
6869 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
6870 won't work.
6871
6872 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
6873 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
6874 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
6875 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
6876 default), and then completely removed.
6877 [Richard Levitte]
6878
6879 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
6880 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
6881 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
6882 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
6883 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
6884 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
6885 particular extension is supported.
6886 [Steve Henson]
6887
6888 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
6889 to retain compatibility with existing code.
6890 [Steve Henson]
6891
6892 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
6893 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
6894 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
6895 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
6896 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
6897 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
6898 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
6899 requires the destination to be valid.
6900
6901 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
6902 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
6903 [Steve Henson]
6904
6905 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
6906 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
6907 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
6908 [Bodo Moeller]
6909
6910 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
6911 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
6912
6913 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
6914 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
6915 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
6916 of specific crypto interfaces. This change also introduces integrated
6917 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
6918 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
6919 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
6920 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
6921 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
6922 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
6923 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
6924 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
6925 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
6926 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
6927 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
6928 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
6929 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
6930 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
6931 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
6932 the new code.
6933 [Geoff Thorpe]
6934
6935 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
6936 [Steve Henson]
6937
6938 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
6939 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
6940 become part of libeay.num as well.
6941 [Richard Levitte]
6942
6943 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
6944 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
6945 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
6946 false once a handshake has been completed.
6947 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
6948 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
6949 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
6950 client has followed the request.)
6951 [Bodo Moeller]
6952
6953 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
6954 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
6955 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
6956 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
6957
6958 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
6959 more bits available for options that should not be part of
6960 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
6961 [Bodo Moeller]
6962
6963 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
6964 [Steve Henson]
6965
6966 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
6967 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
6968 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
6969 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6970
6971 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
6972 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6973 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6974
6975 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
6976 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
6977 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
6978 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
6979 [Geoff Thorpe]
6980
6981 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
6982 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
6983 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
6984 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
6985 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
6986 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
6987 [Geoff Thorpe]
6988
6989 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
6990 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
6991 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
6992 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
6993 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
6994 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
6995 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
6996 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
6997 [Geoff Thorpe]
6998
6999 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
7000 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
7001 [Geoff Thorpe]
7002
7003 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
7004 [Ben Laurie]
7005
7006 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
7007 md_data void pointer.
7008 [Ben Laurie]
7009
7010 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
7011 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
7012 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
7013 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
7014 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
7015 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
7016 [Ben Laurie]
7017
7018 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
7019 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
7020 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
7021 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
7022 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
7023 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
7024 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
7025 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
7026 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
7027 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
7028 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
7029 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
7030 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
7031 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
7032 rather than letting it slide.
7033
7034 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
7035 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
7036 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
7037 [Geoff Thorpe]
7038
7039 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
7040 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
7041 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
7042 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
7043 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
7044 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
7045 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
7046 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
7047 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
7048 [Geoff Thorpe]
7049
7050 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
7051 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
7052 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
7053 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
7054 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
7055
7056 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
7057 [Geoff Thorpe]
7058
7059 *) Add EVP test program.
7060 [Ben Laurie]
7061
7062 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
7063 [Ben Laurie]
7064
7065 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
7066 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
7067 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
7068 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
7069 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
7070 [Steve Henson]
7071
7072 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
7073 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
7074 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
7075 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
7076 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
7077 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
7078 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
7079
7080 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
7081 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
7082 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
7083 Usage example:
7084
7085 EVP_MD_CTX md;
7086
7087 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
7088 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
7089 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
7090 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
7091 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
7092
7093 [Ben Laurie]
7094
7095 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
7096 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
7097 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
7098 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
7099 anyway): E.g.,
7100
7101 des_key_schedule ks;
7102
7103 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
7104 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
7105
7106 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
7107 [Ben Laurie]
7108
7109 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
7110 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
7111 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
7112 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
7113 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
7114 functions prevents this.
7115 [Steve Henson]
7116
7117 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
7118 [Ben Laurie]
7119
7120 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
7121 correct _ecb suffix.
7122 [Ben Laurie]
7123
7124 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
7125 revocation information is handled using the text based index
7126 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
7127 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
7128 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
7129 [Steve Henson]
7130
7131 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
7132 [Richard Levitte]
7133
7134 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
7135 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
7136 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
7137 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
7138
7139 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
7140 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
7141
7142 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
7143 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7144 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
7145 via Richard Levitte]
7146
7147 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
7148 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
7149 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
7150 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
7151 [Geoff Thorpe]
7152
7153 *) Speed up EVP routines.
7154 Before:
7155 encrypt
7156 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
7157 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

7164 After:

7169 [Ben Laurie]
7170
7171 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
7172 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
7173
7174 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
7175 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
7176 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
7177 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
7178 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
7179 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
7180 [Steve Henson]
7181
7182 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
7183 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
7184 [Richard Levitte]
7185
7186 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
7187 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
7188 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
7189 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
7190
7191 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
7192 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
7193 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
7194 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
7195 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
7196 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
7197 callback.
7198 [Richard Levitte]
7199
7200 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
7201 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
7202 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
7203 and interrupts/cancellations.
7204 [Richard Levitte]
7205
7206 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
7207 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
7208 [Steve Henson]
7209
7210 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
7211 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
7212 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
7213
7214 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
7215 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
7216 kind of callback.
7217 [Richard Levitte]
7218
7219 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
7220 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
7221 than this minimum value is recommended.
7222 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7223
7224 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
7225 that are easily reachable.
7226 [Richard Levitte]
7227
7228 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
7229 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
7230
7231 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
7232
7233 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
7234 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
7235 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
7236 needed for static libraries under Win32.
7237 [Steve Henson]
7238
7239 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
7240 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
7241 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
7242 [Steve Henson]
7243
7244 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
7245 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
7246 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
7247 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
7248 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
7249 internally such as S/MIME.
7250
7251 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
7252 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
7253 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
7254
7255 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
7256 applications.
7257 [Steve Henson]
7258
7259 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
7260 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
7261 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
7262 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
7263
7264 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7265
7266 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
7267
7268 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
7269 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
7270 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
7271 handling.
7272 [Steve Henson]
7273
7274 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
7275 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
7276 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
7277 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
7278 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
7279 a window system and the like.
7280 [Richard Levitte]
7281
7282 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
7283 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
7284 [Geoff]
7285
7286 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
7287 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
7288 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
7289 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
7290 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
7291 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
7292 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
7293 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
7294 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
7295 ENGINE structure.
7296 [Geoff]
7297
7298 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
7299 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
7300 tag cache.
7301 [Steve Henson]
7302
7303 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
7304 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
7305 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
7306 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
7307 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
7308 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
7309 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
7310 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
7311 [Geoff]
7312
7313 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
7314 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
7315 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
7316 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
7317 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
7318 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
7319 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
7320 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
7321 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
7322 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
7323 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
7324 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
7325 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
7326 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
7327 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
7328 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
7329 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
7330 [Geoff]
7331
7332 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
7333 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
7334 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
7335 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
7336 internal engine_int.h header.
7337 [Geoff]
7338
7339 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
7340 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
7341 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
7342 modify their own ones).
7343 [Geoff]
7344
7345 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
7346 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
7347 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
7348 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
7349 later on via ctrl() commands.
7350 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
7351 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
7352 structural references.
7353 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
7354 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
7355 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
7356 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
7357 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
7358 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
7359 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
7360 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
7361 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
7362 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
7363 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
7364 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
7365 [Geoff]
7366
7367 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
7368 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
7369 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
7370 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
7371 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
7372 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
7373 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
7374 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
7375 [Bodo Moeller]
7376
7377 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
7378 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
7379 [Steve Henson]
7380
7381 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
7382 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
7383 [Steve Henson]
7384
7385 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
7386 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
7387 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
7388 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
7389 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
7390 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
7391 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
7392 [Steve Henson]
7393
7394 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
7395 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
7396 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
7397 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
7398 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
7399
7400 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
7401 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
7402 generator).
7403 [Bodo Moeller]
7404
7405 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
7406
7407 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
7408 operations and provides various method functions that can also
7409 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
7410
7411 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
7412 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
7413
7414 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
7415 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
7416 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
7417
7418 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
7419 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
7420
7421 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
7422 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
7423
7424 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
7425
7426 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
7427 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
7428 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
7429 [Bodo Moeller]
7430
7431 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
7432 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
7433 [Richard Levitte]
7434
7435 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
7436 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
7437 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
7438 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
7439 is 40 of more characters long.
7440 [Steve Henson]
7441
7442 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
7443 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
7444 pointers.
7445 [Steve Henson]
7446
7447 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
7448 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
7449 [Bodo Moeller]
7450
7451 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
7452 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
7453 might.
7454 [Steve Henson]
7455
7456 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
7457
7458 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
7459 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
7460
7461 ASN1 error codes
7462 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
7463 ...
7464 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
7465 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
7466 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
7467 ...
7468 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
7469 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
7470
7471 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
7472 [Bodo Moeller]
7473
7474 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
7475 suffices.
7476 [Bodo Moeller]
7477
7478 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
7479 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
7480 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
7481 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
7482 and
7483 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
7484
7485 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
7486 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
7487
7488 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
7489 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
7490 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
7491 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
7492 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
7493 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
7494
7495 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
7496 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
7497
7498 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
7499 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7500
7501 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
7502 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
7503
7504 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
7505 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
7506 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7507 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
7508
7509 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
7510 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
7511
7512 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
7513 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
7514
7515 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
7516 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
7517 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
7518 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
7519 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
7520 [Richard Levitte]
7521
7522 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
7523 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
7524 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
7525 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
7526 [Steve Henson]
7527
7528 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
7529 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
7530 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
7531 trust settings.
7532 [Steve Henson]
7533
7534 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
7535 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
7536 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
7537 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
7538 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
7539 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
7540 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
7541 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
7542 ocsp utility.
7543 [Steve Henson]
7544
7545 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
7546 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
7547 [Steve Henson]
7548
7549 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
7550 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
7551 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
7552 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
7553 [Steve Henson]
7554
7555 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
7556 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
7557 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
7558 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
7559 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
7560 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
7561 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
7562 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
7563 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
7564 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
7565 [Steve Henson]
7566
7567 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
7568 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
7569 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
7570 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
7571 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
7572 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
7573 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
7574 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7575
7576 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
7577 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
7578 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
7579 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
7580 [Richard Levitte]
7581
7582 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
7583 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
7584 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
7585 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
7586 opensslconf.h.
7587 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
7588 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
7589 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
7590 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
7591 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
7592 what is available.
7593 [Richard Levitte]
7594
7595 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
7596 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
7597 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
7598 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
7599 auto incremented.
7600 [Steve Henson]
7601
7602 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
7603 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
7604 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
7605 [Steve Henson]
7606
7607 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
7608 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
7609 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
7610 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
7611 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
7612 [Steve Henson]
7613
7614 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
7615 [Steve Henson]
7616
7617 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
7618 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
7619 option to ocsp utility.
7620 [Steve Henson]
7621
7622 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
7623 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
7624 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
7625 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
7626 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
7627 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
7628 the request is nonce-less.
7629 [Steve Henson]
7630
7631 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
7632 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
7633 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
7634 [Bodo Moeller]
7635
7636 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
7637 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
7638 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
7639 [Steve Henson]
7640
7641 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
7642 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
7643 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
7644 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
7645 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
7646 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7647
7648 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
7649 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
7650 appear to exist.
7651 [Steve Henson]
7652
7653 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
7654 additional certificates supplied.
7655 [Steve Henson]
7656
7657 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
7658 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
7659 signature against.
7660 [Richard Levitte]
7661
7662 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
7663 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
7664 AES OIDs.
7665
7666 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
7667 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
7668 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
7669 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
7670 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
7671 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
7672 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
7673 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
7674 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
7675
7676 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
7677 request to response.
7678 [Steve Henson]
7679
7680 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
7681 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
7682 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
7683 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
7684 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
7685 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
7686 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
7687 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
7688 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
7689 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
7690 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
7691 [Steve Henson]
7692
7693 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
7694 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
7695 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
7696 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
7697 [Steve Henson]
7698
7699 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
7700 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7701
7702 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
7703 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
7704 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
7705 [Steve Henson]
7706
7707 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
7708 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
7709 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
7710 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7711 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7712
7713 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
7714 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
7715 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
7716 [Steve Henson]
7717
7718 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
7719 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
7720 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
7721 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
7722 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
7723 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
7724 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7725 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7726
7727 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
7728 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
7729 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
7730 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
7731 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
7732 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
7733 [Steve Henson]
7734
7735 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
7736 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
7737 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
7738 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
7739 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
7740 printout format cleaned up.
7741 [Steve Henson]
7742
7743 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
7744 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
7745 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
7746 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
7747 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
7748 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
7749 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
7750 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
7751 [Steve Henson]
7752
7753 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
7754 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
7755 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
7756 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
7757 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
7758 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
7759 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
7760 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
7761 [Steve Henson]
7762
7763 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
7764 extensions from a separate configuration file.
7765 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
7766 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
7767 section to use.
7768 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7769
7770 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
7771 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
7772 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
7773 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
7774 [Steve Henson]
7775
7776 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
7777 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
7778 the given serial number (according to the index file).
7779 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
7780 in the index file.
7781 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7782
7783 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
7784 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
7785 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
7786 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7787
7788 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
7789 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
7790
7791 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
7792 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
7793 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
7794 [Steve Henson]
7795
7796 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
7797 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
7798 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
7799 [Bodo Moeller]
7800
7801 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
7802 file name and line number information in additional arguments
7803 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
7804 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
7805 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
7806 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
7807 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
7808 functions are provided:
7809
7810 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
7811 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
7812 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
7813 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
7814
7815 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
7816 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
7817 extended allocation function is enabled.
7818 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
7819 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
7820 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
7821
7822 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
7823 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
7824 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
7825 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
7826 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
7827 [Geoff Thorpe]
7828
7829 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
7830 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
7831 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
7832 be queried.
7833 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
7834 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
7835 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
7836 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7837
7838 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
7839 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
7840 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
7841 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
7842 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
7843 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
7844 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
7845 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
7846 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
7847 [Richard Levitte]
7848
7849 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
7850 provide utility functions which an application needing
7851 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
7852 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
7853 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
7854
7855 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
7856 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
7857 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
7858 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
7859 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
7860 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
7861 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
7862 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
7863 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
7864
7865 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
7866 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
7867 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
7868 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
7869 [Steve Henson]
7870
7871 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
7872 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
7873 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
7874 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
7875 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
7876 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
7877 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
7878 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
7879 will be added elsewhere.
7880 [Steve Henson]
7881
7882 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
7883 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
7884 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
7885 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
7886 [Steve Henson]
7887
7888 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
7889 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
7890 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
7891 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
7892 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
7893 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
7894 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
7895 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
7896 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
7897 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
7898 to produce the required SET OF.
7899 [Steve Henson]
7900
7901 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
7902 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
7903 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
7904 [Richard Levitte]
7905
7906 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
7907 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
7908 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
7909 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
7910 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
7911 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
7912 [Steve Henson]
7913
7914 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
7915 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
7916 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
7917 [Steve Henson]
7918
7919 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
7920 lines, recognize more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
7921 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
7922 [Richard Levitte]
7923
7924 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
7925 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
7926 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
7927 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
7928 code will still work when these eventually go away.
7929 [Steve Henson]
7930
7931 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
7932 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
7933 [Steve Henson]
7934
7935 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
7936 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
7937 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
7938 certificates and CRLs.
7939 [Steve Henson]
7940
7941 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
7942 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
7943 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
7944 [Steve Henson]
7945
7946 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
7947 entries for variables.
7948 [Steve Henson]
7949
7950 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
7951 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
7952 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
7953 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
7954 [Bodo Moeller]
7955
7956 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
7957 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
7958 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
7959 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
7960 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
7961 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
7962 [Bodo Moeller]
7963
7964 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
7965 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
7966
7967 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
7968 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
7969 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
7970 [Steve Henson]
7971
7972 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
7973 print routines.
7974 [Steve Henson]
7975
7976 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
7977 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
7978 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
7979 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
7980 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
7981 order did not reflect the encoded order.
7982 [Steve Henson]
7983
7984 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
7985 [Steve Henson]
7986
7987 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
7988 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
7989 for now but they will eventually go away.
7990 [Steve Henson]
7991
7992 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
7993 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
7994 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
7995 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
7996 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
7997 has also been converted to the new form.
7998 [Steve Henson]
7999
8000 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
8001 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
8002 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
8003 for negative moduli.
8004 [Bodo Moeller]
8005
8006 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
8007 of not touching the result's sign bit.
8008 [Bodo Moeller]
8009
8010 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
8011 set.
8012 [Bodo Moeller]
8013
8014 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
8015 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
8016 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
8017 type-specific callbacks.
8018 [Geoff Thorpe]
8019
8020 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
8021 RFC 2712.
8022 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
8023 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
8024
8025 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
8026 in sections depending on the subject.
8027 [Richard Levitte]
8028
8029 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
8030 Windows.
8031 [Richard Levitte]
8032
8033 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
8034 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
8035 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
8036 be handled deterministically).
8037 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8038
8039 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
8040 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
8041 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
8042 [Bodo Moeller]
8043
8044 *) New function BN_kronecker.
8045 [Bodo Moeller]
8046
8047 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
8048 positive unless both parameters are zero.
8049 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
8050 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
8051 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
8052 [Bodo Moeller]
8053
8054 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
8055 sign of the number in question.
8056
8057 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
8058
8059 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
8060 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
8061 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
8062 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
8063 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
8064 [Bodo Moeller]
8065
8066 *) New function BN_swap.
8067 [Bodo Moeller]
8068
8069 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
8070 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
8071 results on negative inputs.
8072 [Bodo Moeller]
8073
8074 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
8075 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
8076 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
8077 [Bodo Moeller]
8078
8079 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
8080 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
8081 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
8082 and add new functions:
8083
8084 BN_nnmod
8085 BN_mod_sqr
8086 BN_mod_add
8087 BN_mod_add_quick
8088 BN_mod_sub
8089 BN_mod_sub_quick
8090 BN_mod_lshift1
8091 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
8092 BN_mod_lshift
8093 BN_mod_lshift_quick
8094
8095 These functions always generate non-negative results.
8096
8097 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
8098 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
8099
8100 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
8101 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
8102 be reduced modulo m.
8103 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8104
8105 #if 0
8106 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
8107 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
8108 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
8109
8110 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
8111 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
8112 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
8113 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
8114 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
8115 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
8116 differing sizes.
8117 [Richard Levitte]
8118 #endif
8119
8120 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
8121 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
8122 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
8123 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
8124 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
8125
8126 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
8127 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
8128 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
8129 cause any problems.
8130 [Bodo Moeller]
8131
8132 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
8133 [Richard Levitte]
8134
8135 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
8136 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
8137 [Richard Levitte]
8138
8139 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
8140 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
8141 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
8142 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
8143 time)
8144 [Richard Levitte]
8145
8146 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
8147 [Richard Levitte]
8148
8149 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
8150 [Richard Levitte]
8151
8152 *) Add the following functions:
8153
8154 ENGINE_load_cswift()
8155 ENGINE_load_chil()
8156 ENGINE_load_atalla()
8157 ENGINE_load_nuron()
8158 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
8159
8160 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
8161 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
8162 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
8163 libraries unless it's really needed.
8164
8165 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
8166 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
8167 declarations (they differed!).
8168 [Richard Levitte]
8169
8170 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
8171 [Richard Levitte]
8172
8173 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
8174 [Richard Levitte]
8175
8176 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
8177 [Bodo Moeller]
8178
8179 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
8180 identity, and test if they are actually available.
8181 [Richard Levitte]
8182
8183 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
8184 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
8185 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8186
8187 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
8188 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
8189 [Richard Levitte]
8190
8191 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
8192 [Richard Levitte]
8193
8194 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
8195 [Richard Levitte]
8196
8197 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
8198 [Ben Laurie]
8199
8200 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
8201 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
8202 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
8203
8204 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
8205 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
8206 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
8207 different shared library filenames on each system.
8208 [Geoff Thorpe]
8209
8210 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
8211 [Richard Levitte]
8212
8213 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
8214 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
8215 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
8216 of two sections.
8217 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
8218
8219 *) NCONF changes.
8220 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
8221 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
8222 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
8223 binary backward compatibility.
8224 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
8225 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
8226 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
8227 LDAP server.
8228 [Richard Levitte]
8229
8230 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
8231 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
8232 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
8233 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
8234 this case.
8235 [Steve Henson]
8236
8237 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
8238 [Ben Laurie]
8239
8240 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
8241 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
8242 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
8243 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
8244 set.
8245 [Steve Henson]
8246
8247 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
8248 [Richard Levitte]
8249
8250 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
8251
8252 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
8253 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
8254 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
8255
8256 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
8257
8258 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
8259
8260 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
8261 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
8262 [Steve Henson]
8263
8264 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
8265
8266 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
8267
8268 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
8269 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
8270
8271 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
8272 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
8273
8274 [Steve Henson]
8275
8276 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
8277 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
8278 specifications.
8279 [Steve Henson]
8280
8281 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
8282 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
8283 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
8284 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
8285
8286 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
8287 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
8288 [Richard Levitte]
8289
8290 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
8291
8292 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
8293 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
8294 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
8295 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
8296 [Bodo Moeller]
8297
8298 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
8299 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
8300 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
8301 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
8302 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8303
8304 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
8305 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
8306 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
8307 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
8308 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
8309 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
8310 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
8311 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
8312 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
8313 [Bodo Moeller]
8314
8315 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
8316
8317 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
8318 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
8319 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
8320 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
8321 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
8322
8323 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
8324 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
8325 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
8326
8327 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
8328
8329 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
8330 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
8331 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
8332 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
8333 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
8334 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
8335 [Geoff Thorpe]
8336
8337 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
8338 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
8339 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
8340 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
8341 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
8342 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8343
8344 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
8345 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
8346 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
8347
8348 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
8349 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
8350 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
8351 EVP_cleanup().
8352 [Richard Levitte]
8353
8354 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
8355 being properly terminated.
8356 [Richard Levitte]
8357
8358 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
8359 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
8360 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
8361 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
8362
8363 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
8364 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
8365 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
8366 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
8367 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
8368 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
8369 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
8370 change.
8371 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
8372
8373 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
8374 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
8375 [Bodo Moeller]
8376
8377 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
8378 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
8379 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
8380 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
8381 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
8382 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
8383 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
8384 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
8385
8386 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
8387 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
8388 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
8389 (see [openssl.org #212]).
8390 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8391
8392 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
8393 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
8394 [Steve Henson]
8395
8396 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
8397
8398 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
8399 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
8400 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
8401
8402 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
8403
8404 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
8405 and get fix the header length calculation.
8406 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
8407 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
8408 Steve Henson]
8409
8410 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
8411 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
8412 assertions could call abort()).
8413 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
8414
8415 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
8416
8417 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8418 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8419 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8420 supplied buffer.
8421 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8422
8423 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
8424 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
8425 by the selection routines (PR #130).
8426 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8427
8428 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
8429 [Nils Larsch]
8430
8431 *) New option
8432 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
8433 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
8434 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
8435
8436 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
8437 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
8438 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
8439 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
8440 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
8441 applications.
8442 [Bodo Moeller]
8443
8444 *) Changes in security patch:
8445
8446 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
8447 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
8448 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
8449 F30602-01-2-0537.
8450
8451 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8452 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8453 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8454 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
8455 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8456
8457 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
8458 happen in practice.
8459 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8460
8461 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
8462 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
8463 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
8464
8465 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
8466 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
8467 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8468
8469 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
8470 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
8471 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8472
8473 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
8474
8475 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
8476 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
8477 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
8478
8479 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
8480 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
8481
8482 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
8483 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
8484 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
8485 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
8486 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
8487 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
8488 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8489
8490 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
8491 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
8492 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
8493 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
8494 [Bodo Moeller]
8495
8496 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
8497 [Bodo Moeller]
8498
8499 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
8500 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
8501 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
8502 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
8503 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
8504 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8505
8506 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
8507 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
8508 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
8509 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
8510 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
8511 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8512
8513 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
8514 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
8515 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
8516 BN_generate_prime().)
8517
8518 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
8519 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
8520 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
8521 better.
8522 [Bodo Moeller]
8523
8524 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
8525 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
8526 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8527
8528 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
8529 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
8530 when using non-blocking I/O.
8531 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
8532
8533 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
8534 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
8535
8536 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
8537 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
8538 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8539
8540 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
8541 configuration for the versions before that.
8542 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
8543
8544 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
8545 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
8546 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
8547 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
8548 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8549
8550 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
8551 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
8552 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
8553 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8554
8555 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
8556 value is 0.
8557 [Richard Levitte]
8558
8559 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
8560 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
8561 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
8562
8563 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
8564 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
8565
8566 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
8567 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
8568 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
8569 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
8570 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
8571 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
8572 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
8573 session cache.
8574
8575 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
8576 using a local variable.
8577 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
8578
8579 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
8580 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
8581 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8582
8583 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
8584 [Richard Levitte]
8585
8586 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
8587 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
8588
8589 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
8590 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
8591 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
8592
8593 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
8594
8595 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
8596 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
8597 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
8598 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
8599 [Bodo Moeller]
8600
8601 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
8602 present.
8603 [Steve Henson]
8604
8605 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
8606 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
8607 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
8608 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
8609 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
8610
8611 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
8612 returns early because it has nothing to do.
8613 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8614
8615 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8616 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
8617 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8618
8619 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8620 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
8621 (Use engine 'keyclient')
8622 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
8623
8624 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
8625 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
8626 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
8627 modules).
8628 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
8629
8630 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8631 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
8632 from 0.9.7.
8633 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
8634
8635 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8636 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
8637 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
8638 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
8639
8640 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8641 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
8642 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
8643 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
8644
8645 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
8646 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
8647
8648 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
8649 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
8650 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
8651 [Bodo Moeller]
8652
8653 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
8654 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
8655 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
8656 become invalid.
8657 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
8658
8659 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
8660 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
8661 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
8662 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
8663 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
8664 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
8665 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
8666 [Bodo Moeller]
8667
8668 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
8669 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
8670 one of the SSL handshake functions.
8671 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
8672
8673 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
8674 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
8675 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
8676 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
8677 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
8678 the client will at least see that alert.
8679 [Bodo Moeller]
8680
8681 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
8682 correctly.
8683 [Bodo Moeller]
8684
8685 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
8686 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
8687 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8688
8689 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
8690 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
8691 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
8692 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
8693 HelloRequest.
8694
8695 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
8696 before just sending a HelloRequest.
8697 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
8698
8699 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
8700 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
8701 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
8702 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
8703 may leak via logfiles.)
8704
8705 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
8706 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
8707 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
8708 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
8709 the legal range.
8710 [Bodo Moeller]
8711
8712 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
8713 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
8714 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8715
8716 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
8717 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
8718 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
8719 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
8720 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
8721 [Bodo Moeller]
8722
8723 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
8724 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
8725
8726 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
8727 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
8728 followed by modular reduction.
8729 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
8730
8731 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
8732 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
8733 [Bodo Moeller]
8734
8735 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
8736 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
8737 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
8738 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
8739 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8740
8741 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
8742 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8743
8744 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
8745 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
8746 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8747
8748 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
8749 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
8750 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
8751 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
8752 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
8753 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
8754 automatically.
8755 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
8756
8757 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
8758 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
8759 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
8760 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
8761 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
8762
8763 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
8764 [Andy Polyakov]
8765
8766 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
8767 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
8768 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
8769 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
8770 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
8771 to allow the necessary settings.
8772 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8773
8774 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
8775 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
8776 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
8777 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
8778 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8779
8780 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
8781 dh->length and always used
8782
8783 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
8784
8785 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
8786 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
8787 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
8788 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
8789 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
8790 dh->length.
8791
8792 So switch back to
8793
8794 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
8795
8796 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
8797 otherwise.
8798 [Bodo Moeller]
8799
8800 *) In
8801
8802 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
8803 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
8804 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
8805 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
8806
8807 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
8808 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
8809 always reject numbers >= n.
8810 [Bodo Moeller]
8811
8812 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
8813 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
8814 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
8815 variable) is not atomic.
8816 [Bodo Moeller]
8817
8818 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
8819 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
8820 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
8821 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
8822
8823 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
8824 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
8825
8826 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
8827 little-endian MIPS.
8828 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
8829
8830 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
8831 [Richard Levitte]
8832
8833 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
8834
8835 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
8836 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
8837 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
8838 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
8839 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
8840 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
8841 to traverse all of 'state'.
8842
8843 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
8844 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
8845 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
8846
8847 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
8848 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
8849
8850 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
8851 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
8852 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
8853 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
8854 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
8855 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
8856 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
8857 further strengthens the PRNG.
8858 [Bodo Moeller]
8859
8860 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
8861 [Andy Polyakov]
8862
8863 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
8864 an error message in this case.
8865 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8866
8867 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
8868 [Steve Henson]
8869
8870 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
8871 positive and less than q.
8872 [Bodo Moeller]
8873
8874 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
8875 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
8876 that itself.
8877 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
8878
8879 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
8880 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
8881 [Bodo Moeller]
8882
8883 *) Fix OAEP check.
8884 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8885
8886 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
8887 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
8888 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
8889 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
8890 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
8891 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
8892 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
8893 paper.)
8894
8895 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
8896 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
8897 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
8898 detect the supposedly ignored error.
8899
8900 Both problems are now fixed.
8901 [Bodo Moeller]
8902
8903 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
8904 (previously it was 1024).
8905 [Bodo Moeller]
8906
8907 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
8908 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
8909 [Steve Henson]
8910
8911 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
8912 [Steve Henson]
8913
8914 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
8915 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
8916 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
8917 [Steve Henson]
8918
8919 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
8920 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
8921 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
8922 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
8923 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
8924 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
8925 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
8926 environment variables.
8927
8928 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
8929 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
8930 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
8931 [Bodo Moeller]
8932
8933 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
8934 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
8935 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
8936 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
8937 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
8938 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
8939 [Bodo Moeller]
8940
8941 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
8942 versions of 'test'.
8943 [Bodo Moeller]
8944
8945 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
8946
8947 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
8948 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
8949
8950 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
8951 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
8952 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
8953 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
8954 CygWin.
8955 [Richard Levitte]
8956
8957 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
8958 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
8959 amount of data available.
8960 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
8961 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8962
8963 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
8964 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
8965 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
8966 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
8967 [Bodo Moeller]
8968
8969 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
8970 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
8971 and UnixWare.
8972 [Richard Levitte]
8973
8974 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
8975 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
8976 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
8977 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
8978 [Ulf Moeller]
8979
8980 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
8981 [Andy Polyakov]
8982
8983 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
8984 [Richard Levitte]
8985
8986 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
8987 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
8988 [Steve Henson]
8989 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8990
8991 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
8992 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
8993 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
8994 (but broken) behaviour.
8995 [Steve Henson]
8996
8997 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
8998 it when found.
8999 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
9000
9001 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
9002 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
9003 [Bodo Moeller]
9004
9005 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
9006 did not exist.
9007 [Bodo Moeller]
9008
9009 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
9010 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
9011
9012 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
9013 [Richard Levitte]
9014
9015 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
9016 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
9017 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
9018
9019 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
9020 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
9021 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
9022 [Steve Henson]
9023
9024 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
9025 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
9026 [Ulf Moeller]
9027
9028 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
9029 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
9030
9031 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
9032
9033 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
9034
9035 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
9036 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
9037 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
9038 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
9039 [Bodo Moeller]
9040
9041 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
9042 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9043
9044 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
9045 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
9046 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9047
9048 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
9049 was empty.
9050 [Steve Henson]
9051 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9052
9053 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
9054 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
9055 but the code is actually correct.
9056 [Steve Henson]
9057
9058 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
9059 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
9060 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
9061 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
9062 and leaves the highest bit random.
9063 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9064
9065 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
9066 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
9067 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
9068 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
9069 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
9070 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
9071 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
9072 [Bodo Moeller]
9073
9074 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
9075 [Ulf Moeller]
9076
9077 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
9078 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
9079 [Steve Henson]
9080
9081 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
9082 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
9083 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
9084 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
9085 headers.
9086 [Richard Levitte]
9087
9088 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
9089 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
9090 and break the signature.
9091 [Steve Henson]
9092 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9093
9094 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
9095 DH ciphersuites.
9096 [Steve Henson]
9097
9098 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
9099 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
9100 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
9101 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
9102 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
9103 [Bodo Moeller]
9104
9105 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
9106 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9107
9108 *) ./config script fixes.
9109 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
9110
9111 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
9112 [Bodo Moeller]
9113
9114 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
9115 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
9116 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
9117 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
9118 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
9119
9120 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
9121 call failed, free the DSA structure.
9122 [Bodo Moeller]
9123
9124 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
9125 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
9126 [Steve Henson]
9127
9128 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
9129 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
9130 when writing a 32767 byte record.
9131 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
9132
9133 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
9134 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
9135
9136 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
9137 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
9138 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
9139 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
9140 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
9141
9142 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
9143 [Bodo Moeller]
9144
9145 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
9146 [Ulf Möller]
9147
9148 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
9149 [Ulf Möller]
9150
9151 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
9152 [Bodo Moeller]
9153
9154 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
9155 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
9156 [Bodo Moeller]
9157
9158 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
9159 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
9160 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
9161 result of the server certificate verification.)
9162 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9163
9164 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
9165 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
9166 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
9167 [Bodo Moeller]
9168
9169 *) Fix SSL_peek:
9170 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
9171 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
9172 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
9173 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
9174 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
9175 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
9176 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
9177 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
9178 [Bodo Moeller]
9179
9180 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
9181 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
9182 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
9183 happening the other way round.
9184 [Geoff Thorpe]
9185
9186 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
9187 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
9188 [Bodo Moeller]
9189
9190 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
9191 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
9192 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
9193 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
9194 [Richard Levitte]
9195
9196 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
9197 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
9198
9199 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
9200
9201 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
9202 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
9203 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
9204 that.
9205
9206 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
9207
9208 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
9209
9210 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
9211 static ones.
9212 [Richard Levitte]
9213
9214 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
9215
9216 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
9217 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
9218 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
9219 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
9220 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
9221
9222 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
9223 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
9224 matter what.
9225 [Richard Levitte]
9226
9227 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
9228 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9229
9230 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
9231
9232 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
9233 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
9234 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
9235 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
9236 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
9237 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
9238 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
9239 by the Finished messages.
9240 [Bodo Moeller]
9241
9242 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
9243 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
9244
9245 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
9246 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
9247 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
9248 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
9249 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
9250 appropriately.
9251 [Steve Henson]
9252
9253 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
9254 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
9255 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
9256 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
9257 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
9258 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
9259 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
9260 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
9261 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
9262 together.
9263 [Steve Henson]
9264
9265 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
9266 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
9267 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
9268 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
9269
9270 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
9271 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
9272 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
9273 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
9274 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
9275 the answer.
9276
9277 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
9278 been tested well enough.
9279 [Richard Levitte]
9280
9281 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
9282 it can return incorrect results.
9283 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
9284 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
9285 [Bodo Moeller]
9286
9287 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
9288 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
9289 include zero length content when signing messages.
9290 [Steve Henson]
9291
9292 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
9293 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
9294 [Bodo Möller]
9295
9296 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
9297 [Richard Levitte]
9298
9299 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
9300 wrong sign.
9301 [Ulf Möller]
9302
9303 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
9304 packages. The default package contains applications, application
9305 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
9306 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
9307 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
9308 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
9309 [Richard Levitte]
9310
9311 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
9312 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9313
9314 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
9315 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
9316
9317 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
9318 random number < q in the DSA library.
9319 [Ulf Möller]
9320
9321 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
9322 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
9323 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
9324 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
9325 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
9326 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
9327 just makes things more complicated.)
9328 [Bodo Moeller]
9329
9330 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
9331 from EGD.
9332 [Ben Laurie]
9333
9334 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
9335 work better on such systems.
9336 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9337
9338 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
9339 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
9340 keyid to the certificates aux info.
9341 [Steve Henson]
9342
9343 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
9344 if there was more than one signature.
9345 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
9346
9347 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
9348 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
9349 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
9350 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
9351 [Richard Levitte]
9352
9353 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
9354 rather than always using the current time.
9355 [Steve Henson]
9356
9357 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
9358 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
9359 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
9360 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
9361 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
9362 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
9363
9364 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
9365 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
9366
9367 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
9368
9369 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
9370 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
9371 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
9372 the same hash value.
9373
9374 As a result various functions (which were all internal
9375 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
9376 structure. This will break anything that messed round
9377 with X509_STORE internally.
9378
9379 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
9380 exact match, rather than just subject name.
9381
9382 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
9383 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
9384 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
9385 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
9386 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
9387 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
9388 entirely (maybe later...).
9389
9390 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
9391
9392 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
9393 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
9394 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
9395 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
9396 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
9397 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
9398 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
9399 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
9400
9401 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
9402 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
9403
9404 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
9405 to customise the verify behaviour.
9406 [Steve Henson]
9407
9408 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
9409 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
9410 [Steve Henson]
9411
9412 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
9413 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
9414 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
9415 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
9416 request is improperly encoded.
9417 [Steve Henson]
9418
9419 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
9420 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
9421 BIO_write(b, ...).
9422
9423 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
9424 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
9425
9426 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
9427 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
9428 words set to zero.)
9429 [Bodo Moeller]
9430
9431 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
9432 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
9433 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
9434 [Bodo Moeller]
9435
9436 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
9437 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
9438 BIO/fp routines also added.
9439 [Steve Henson]
9440
9441 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
9442 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
9443
9444 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
9445 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
9446 demos/state_machine.
9447 [Ben Laurie]
9448
9449 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
9450 generation and verification.
9451 [Steve Henson]
9452
9453 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
9454 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
9455 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
9456 encode and decode it manually.
9457 [Steve Henson]
9458
9459 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
9460 compile under VC++.
9461 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
9462
9463 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
9464 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
9465 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
9466 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
9467
9468 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
9469 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
9470 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
9471 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
9472 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
9473 [Steve Henson]
9474
9475 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
9476 [Richard Levitte]
9477
9478 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the strings written
9479 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
9480 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
9481
9482 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
9483 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
9484 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
9485 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
9486 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
9487 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
9488 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
9489 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
9490
9491 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
9492 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
9493
9494 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
9495
9496 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
9497 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
9498 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
9499
9500 [Richard Levitte]
9501
9502 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
9503 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
9504 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
9505 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
9506 [Richard Levitte]
9507
9508 *) MD4 implemented.
9509 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
9510
9511 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
9512 [Richard Levitte]
9513
9514 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
9515 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
9516 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
9517 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
9518 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
9519 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
9520 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
9521 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
9522 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
9523 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
9524 short or long names are found.
9525 [Steve Henson]
9526
9527 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
9528 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
9529
9530 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
9531 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
9532 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
9533 version rollback attacks was not effective.
9534
9535 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
9536 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
9537 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
9538 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
9539 [Bodo Moeller]
9540
9541 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
9542 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
9543 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
9544 [Richard Levitte]
9545
9546 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
9547 these print out strings and name structures based on various
9548 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
9549 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
9550 to allow the various flags to be set.
9551 [Steve Henson]
9552
9553 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
9554 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
9555 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
9556 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
9557 dates to be checked.
9558 [Steve Henson]
9559
9560 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
9561 negative public key encodings) on by default,
9562 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
9563 [Steve Henson]
9564
9565 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
9566 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
9567 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
9568 [Steve Henson]
9569
9570 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
9571 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
9572 [Bodo Moeller]
9573
9574 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
9575 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
9576 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
9577 are always statically linked for now, but there are
9578 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
9579 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
9580 [Richard Levitte]
9581
9582 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
9583 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
9584 Random Numbers.
9585 [Ulf Möller]
9586
9587 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
9588 DSA key.
9589 [Steve Henson]
9590
9591 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
9592 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
9593 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
9594 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
9595 form signing output easier to verify.
9596 [Steve Henson]
9597
9598 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
9599 [Steve Henson]
9600
9601 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
9602 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
9603 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
9604 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
9605 are needed because all other string types have virtually
9606 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
9607 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
9608 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
9609 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
9610 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
9611 [Steve Henson]
9612
9613 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
9614
9615 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
9616 the syntax given in objects.README.
9617 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
9618 obj_mac.h.
9619 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
9620 obj_mac.h.
9621
9622 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
9623 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
9624 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
9625 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
9626 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
9627 consistent name changes.
9628 [Richard Levitte]
9629
9630 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
9631 [Bodo Moeller]
9632
9633 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
9634 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
9635 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
9636 environment variable, or the default random state file.
9637 [Richard Levitte]
9638
9639 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
9640 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
9641 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
9642 of safestack.h .
9643 [Steve Henson]
9644
9645 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
9646 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
9647 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
9648 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
9649 [Steve Henson]
9650
9651 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
9652 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
9653 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
9654 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
9655 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
9656 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
9657 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
9658 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
9659 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
9660 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
9661 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
9662 [Steve Henson]
9663
9664 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
9665 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
9666 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
9667 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
9668 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
9669 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
9670 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
9671 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
9672 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
9673 algorithm to openssl-dev.
9674 [Steve Henson]
9675
9676 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
9677 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
9678 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
9679 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
9680
9681 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
9682 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
9683 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
9684 omit any duplicate addresses.
9685 [Steve Henson]
9686
9687 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
9688 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
9689 [Bodo Moeller]
9690
9691 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
9692 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
9693 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
9694 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
9695 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
9696 [Bodo Moeller]
9697
9698 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
9699 software:
9700 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
9701 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
9702 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
9703 Free => OPENSSL_free
9704 [Richard Levitte]
9705
9706 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
9707 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
9708 [Bodo Moeller]
9709
9710 *) CygWin32 support.
9711 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
9712
9713 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
9714 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
9715 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
9716 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
9717 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
9718 approach.
9719 [Geoff Thorpe]
9720
9721 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
9722 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
9723 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
9724 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
9725 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
9726 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
9727 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
9728 [Geoff Thorpe]
9729
9730 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
9731 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
9732 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
9733 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
9734 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
9735 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
9736 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
9737 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
9738 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
9739 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
9740 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
9741 [Bodo Moeller]
9742
9743 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
9744 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
9745 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
9746 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
9747 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
9748
9749 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
9750 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
9751 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
9752 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
9753 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
9754
9755 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
9756 ciphers.
9757
9758 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
9759 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
9760 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
9761 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
9762
9763 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
9764
9765 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
9766 of macros.
9767
9768 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
9769 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
9770 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
9771 flags.
9772
9773 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
9774 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
9775 any installed hardware versions can.
9776 [Steve Henson]
9777
9778 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
9779 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
9780 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
9781 number.
9782 [Bodo Moeller]
9783
9784 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
9785 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
9786 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
9787 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
9788 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
9789
9790 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
9791 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
9792 [Steve Henson]
9793
9794 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
9795 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
9796 [Richard Levitte]
9797
9798 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
9799 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
9800 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
9801 features.
9802 [Steve Henson]
9803
9804 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
9805 [Ulf Möller]
9806
9807 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
9808 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
9809 but no ssl client purpose.
9810 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
9811
9812 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
9813 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
9814 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
9815 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
9816 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
9817 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
9818 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
9819 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
9820 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
9821 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
9822 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
9823 [Steve Henson]
9824
9825 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
9826 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
9827 be obtained from the error queue.
9828 [Bodo Moeller]
9829
9830 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
9831 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
9832 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
9833 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
9834 [Bodo Moeller]
9835
9836 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
9837 [Ulf Möller]
9838
9839 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
9840 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
9841 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
9842 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
9843 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
9844 [Geoff Thorpe]
9845
9846 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
9847 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
9848 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
9849 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
9850 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
9851 [Geoff Thorpe]
9852
9853 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
9854 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
9855 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
9856 may not be NULL.
9857 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
9858
9859 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
9860 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
9861 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
9862 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
9863 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
9864 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
9865 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
9866 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
9867 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
9868 or "the configuration storage API"...
9869
9870 The new configuration file reading functions are:
9871
9872 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
9873 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
9874
9875 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
9876
9877 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
9878
9879 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
9880 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
9881 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
9882 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
9883 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
9884 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
9885 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
9886
9887 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
9888 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
9889 [Richard Levitte]
9890
9891 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
9892 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
9893 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
9894 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
9895 [Bodo Moeller]
9896
9897 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
9898 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
9899 them in a portable way.
9900 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
9901
9902 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
9903
9904 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
9905
9906 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
9907 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
9908
9909 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
9910 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
9911 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
9912 <attili@amaxo.com>]
9913
9914 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
9915 was larger than the MD block size.
9916 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
9917
9918 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
9919 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
9920 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
9921 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
9922 components.
9923 [Steve Henson]
9924
9925 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
9926 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
9927 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
9928
9929 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
9930 discouraged.
9931 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
9932
9933 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
9934 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
9935 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
9936 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
9937 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
9938 Additional arguments are always ignored.
9939
9940 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
9941 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
9942
9943 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
9944 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
9945 [Bodo Moeller]
9946
9947 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
9948 [Bodo Moeller]
9949
9950 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
9951 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
9952 its own key.
9953 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
9954 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
9955 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
9956 you effectively got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
9957 [Bodo Moeller]
9958
9959 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
9960 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
9961 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
9962 does not suppress any output.
9963 [Richard Levitte]
9964
9965 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
9966 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
9967 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
9968 with all the associated security issues.
9969
9970 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
9971 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
9972 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
9973 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
9974 use the value in the default purpose.
9975 [Steve Henson]
9976
9977 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
9978 and fix a memory leak.
9979 [Steve Henson]
9980
9981 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
9982 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
9983 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
9984 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
9985 [Bodo Moeller]
9986
9987 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
9988 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
9989 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
9990 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
9991 [Bodo Moeller]
9992
9993 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
9994 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
9995 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
9996 [Bodo Moeller]
9997
9998 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
9999 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
10000 [Bodo Moeller]
10001
10002 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
10003 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
10004 which was free.
10005 [Steve Henson]
10006
10007 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
10008 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
10009 [Bodo Moeller]
10010
10011 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
10012 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
10013 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
10014 [Bodo Moeller]
10015
10016 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
10017 number generation fails.
10018 [Bodo Moeller]
10019
10020 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
10021 [Bodo Moeller]
10022
10023 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
10024 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
10025
10026 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
10027 [Ulf Möller]
10028
10029 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
10030 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
10031
10032 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
10033 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
10034
10035 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
10036
10037 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
10038 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
10039 [Steve Henson]
10040
10041 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
10042 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
10043
10044 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
10045 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
10046 [Ulf Möller]
10047
10048 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
10049 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
10050 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
10051 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
10052 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
10053 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
10054
10055 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
10056 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
10057 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
10058 for example.
10059 [Steve Henson]
10060
10061 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
10062 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
10063 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
10064 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
10065 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
10066 counter, some don't.)
10067 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
10068 counters or duplicate objects.
10069 [Steve Henson]
10070
10071 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
10072 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
10073 [Steve Henson]
10074
10075 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
10076 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
10077 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
10078
10079 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
10080 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
10081 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
10082 or -rand.
10083 [Ulf Möller]
10084
10085 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
10086 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
10087 [Steve Henson]
10088
10089 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
10090 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
10091 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
10092 cipher list.
10093 [Steve Henson]
10094
10095 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
10096 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
10097 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
10098 [Steve Henson]
10099
10100 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
10101 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
10102 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
10103 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
10104 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
10105 should work without changes.
10106 [Richard Levitte]
10107
10108 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
10109 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
10110 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
10111 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
10112 must be defined. E.g.,
10113 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
10114 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
10115 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
10116 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
10117
10118 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
10119 record layer.
10120 [Bodo Moeller]
10121
10122 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
10123 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
10124 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
10125 [Steve Henson]
10126
10127 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
10128 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
10129 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
10130 request header lines. Some software needs this.
10131 [Steve Henson]
10132
10133 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
10134 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
10135 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
10136 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
10137 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
10138 is prompted for as usual.
10139 [Steve Henson]
10140
10141 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
10142 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
10143 autodetect the card and use it if present.
10144 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
10145
10146 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
10147 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
10148 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
10149 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
10150 [Steve Henson]
10151
10152 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
10153 [Andy Polyakov]
10154
10155 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
10156 of seed file.
10157 [Steve Henson]
10158
10159 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
10160 [Bodo Moeller]
10161
10162 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
10163 [Steve Henson]
10164
10165 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
10166 bits.
10167 [Ulf Möller]
10168
10169 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
10170 [Ulf Möller]
10171
10172 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
10173 [Andy Polyakov]
10174
10175 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divisor are
10176 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
10177 [Ulf Möller]
10178
10179 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
10180 options to produce them.
10181 [Steve Henson]
10182
10183 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
10184 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
10185 [Ulf Möller]
10186
10187 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
10188 for p == 0.
10189 [Ulf Möller]
10190
10191 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
10192 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
10193 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
10194 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
10195 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
10196 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
10197 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
10198 [Steve Henson]
10199
10200 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
10201 [Steve Henson]
10202
10203 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
10204 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
10205 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
10206 [Bodo Moeller]
10207
10208 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
10209 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
10210
10211 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
10212 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
10213 [Ulf Möller]
10214
10215 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
10216 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
10217 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
10218 has already seen).
10219 [Bodo Moeller]
10220
10221 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
10222 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
10223
10224 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
10225 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
10226 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
10227 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
10228 generation becomes much faster.
10229
10230 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
10231 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
10232 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
10233 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
10234 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
10235 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
10236 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
10237 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
10238 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
10239 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
10240 [Bodo Moeller]
10241
10242 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
10243 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
10244 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
10245 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
10246 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
10247 trial division stage.
10248 [Bodo Moeller]
10249
10250 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
10251 as ASN1_TIME.
10252 [Steve Henson]
10253
10254 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
10255 [Steve Henson]
10256
10257 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
10258 [Ulf Möller]
10259
10260 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
10261 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
10262 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
10263 the comments.
10264 [Ulf Möller]
10265
10266 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
10267 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
10268 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
10269 [Bodo Moeller]
10270
10271 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
10272 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
10273 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
10274 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
10275
10276 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
10277 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
10278 [Steve Henson]
10279
10280 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
10281 [Ulf Möller]
10282
10283 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
10284 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
10285 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
10286 Rabin-Miller iterations.
10287 [Ulf Möller]
10288
10289 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
10290 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
10291 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
10292 [Ulf Möller]
10293
10294 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
10295 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
10296 (instead of parameters) in future.
10297 [Steve Henson]
10298
10299 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
10300 when a new cipher list is set.
10301 [Steve Henson]
10302
10303 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
10304 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
10305 wrong.
10306
10307 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
10308 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
10309 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
10310
10311 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
10312 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
10313 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
10314 an error is flagged.
10315
10316 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
10317 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
10318 the readability was also increased :-)
10319 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10320
10321 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
10322 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
10323 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
10324 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
10325 as the root CA.
10326 [Steve Henson]
10327
10328 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
10329 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
10330 [Steve Henson]
10331
10332 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
10333 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
10334 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
10335 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
10336 instead.
10337
10338 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
10339 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
10340 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
10341 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
10342 because they handle more complex structures.)
10343 [Steve Henson]
10344
10345 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
10346 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
10347 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
10348 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10349
10350 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
10351 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
10352 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
10353 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
10354 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
10355 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
10356 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
10357 [Ulf Möller]
10358
10359 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
10360 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
10361 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
10362 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
10363 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
10364 [Bodo Moeller]
10365
10366 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
10367 [Bodo Moeller]
10368
10369 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
10370 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
10371 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
10372 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
10373 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
10374 to use this.
10375
10376 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
10377 code.
10378 [Steve Henson]
10379
10380 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
10381 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
10382 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
10383 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
10384 [Steve Henson]
10385
10386 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
10387 [Ulf Möller]
10388
10389 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
10390 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
10391 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
10392 international characters are used.
10393
10394 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
10395 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
10396 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
10397 in ASN1 order.
10398 [Steve Henson]
10399
10400 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
10401 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
10402 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
10403 request.
10404
10405 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
10406 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
10407 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
10408 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
10409 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
10410 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
10411
10412 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
10413 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
10414 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
10415 be handled by the string table functions.
10416
10417 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
10418 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
10419 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
10420 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
10421 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
10422 types at all.
10423 [Steve Henson]
10424
10425 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
10426 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
10427 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
10428 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
10429 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
10430
10431 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
10432 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
10433 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
10434 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
10435 [Bodo Moeller]
10436
10437 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
10438 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
10439 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
10440 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
10441 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
10442 SHA1.
10443 [Andy Polyakov]
10444
10445 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
10446 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
10447 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
10448 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
10449 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
10450 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
10451 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
10452 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
10453
10454 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
10455 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
10456 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
10457 [Steve Henson]
10458
10459 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
10460 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
10461 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
10462 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
10463 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
10464 support to pkcs8 application.
10465 [Steve Henson]
10466
10467 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
10468 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
10469 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
10470 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
10471 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
10472 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
10473 [Bodo Moeller]
10474
10475 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
10476 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
10477 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
10478 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
10479 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
10480 consistency.
10481 [Bodo Moeller]
10482
10483 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
10484 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
10485 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
10486 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
10487 example.
10488 [Steve Henson]
10489
10490 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
10491 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
10492 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
10493 and any application specific purposes.
10494
10495 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
10496 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
10497 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
10498 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
10499 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
10500 if the certificate is self signed.
10501 [Steve Henson]
10502
10503 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
10504 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
10505 [Steve Henson]
10506
10507 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
10508 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
10509 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
10510 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
10511 [Steve Henson]
10512
10513 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
10514 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
10515 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
10516 Update documentation.
10517 [Steve Henson]
10518
10519 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
10520 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
10521 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
10522 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
10523 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
10524 [Steve Henson]
10525
10526 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
10527 for details.
10528 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
10529
10530 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
10531 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
10532 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
10533 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
10534 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
10535 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
10536 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
10537 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
10538 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
10539 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
10540
10541 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
10542
10543 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10544 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10545 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
10546 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
10547 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
10548
10549 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
10550 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
10551 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
10552 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
10553 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
10554 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
10555 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
10556 request additional information:
10557 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
10558 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
10559
10560 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
10561 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
10562 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
10563 options.
10564
10565 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
10566 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
10567
10568 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
10569 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
10570 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
10571
10572 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
10573 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
10574
10575 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
10576 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
10577 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
10578 algorithm.
10579 [Steve Henson]
10580
10581 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
10582 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
10583 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
10584
10585 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
10586 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
10587 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
10588 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
10589 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
10590 included in OpenSSL.
10591 [Steve Henson]
10592
10593 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
10594 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
10595 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
10596 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
10597 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
10598 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
10599 [Bodo Moeller]
10600
10601 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
10602 PKCS12 structure.
10603 [Steve Henson]
10604
10605 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
10606 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
10607 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
10608 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
10609 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
10610 structure.
10611 [Steve Henson]
10612
10613 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
10614 need initialising.
10615 [Steve Henson]
10616
10617 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
10618 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
10619 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
10620 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
10621 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
10622 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
10623 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
10624 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
10625 be maintained manually.
10626
10627 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
10628 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
10629 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
10630 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
10631 work because people forget to call this function]
10632 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
10633 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
10634 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
10635 [Steve Henson]
10636
10637 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
10638 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
10639 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
10640 should be discouraged from doing it.
10641 [Ben Laurie]
10642
10643 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
10644 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
10645 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
10646 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
10647 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
10648 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
10649 [Steve Henson]
10650
10651 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
10652 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
10653 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
10654
10655 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
10656 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
10657 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
10658
10659 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
10660 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
10661 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
10662 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
10663 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
10664 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
10665
10666 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
10667 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
10668 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
10669
10670 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
10671 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
10672 and vice versa.
10673
10674 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
10675 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
10676 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
10677 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
10678 [Steve Henson]
10679
10680 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
10681 [Steve Henson]
10682
10683 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
10684 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
10685 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
10686 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
10687 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
10688 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
10689 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
10690 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
10691 keys so we should be OK.
10692
10693 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
10694 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
10695 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
10696 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
10697 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
10698 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
10699 stay in the name of compatibility.
10700
10701 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
10702 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
10703 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
10704
10705 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
10706 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
10707 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
10708 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
10709 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
10710 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
10711 supplied key).
10712 [Steve Henson]
10713
10714 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
10715 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
10716 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
10717 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
10718 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
10719 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
10720 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
10721 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
10722 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
10723 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
10724 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
10725 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
10726 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
10727 [Steve Henson]
10728
10729 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
10730 [Steve Henson]
10731
10732 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
10733 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
10734 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
10735 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
10736 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
10737 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
10738 single self signed certificate. This means that:
10739 openssl verify ss.pem
10740 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
10741 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
10742 is OK.
10743 [Steve Henson]
10744
10745 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
10746 (and add it to external session representation).
10747 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
10748 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
10749 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
10750 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
10751 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
10752 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
10753 security holes.
10754 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
10755
10756 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
10757 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
10758 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
10759 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
10760
10761 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
10762 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
10763 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
10764 [Steve Henson]
10765
10766 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
10767 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
10768 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
10769 code.
10770 [Steve Henson]
10771
10772 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
10773 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
10774 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
10775
10776 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
10777 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
10778 certificate auxiliary information.
10779 [Steve Henson]
10780
10781 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
10782 the 'enc' command.
10783 [Steve Henson]
10784
10785 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
10786 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
10787 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
10788 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
10789 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
10790 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
10791 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
10792 [Richard Levitte]
10793
10794 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
10795 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
10796 [Steve Henson]
10797
10798 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
10799 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
10800 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
10801 manpages and fix a few bugs.
10802 [Steve Henson]
10803
10804 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
10805 [Steve Henson]
10806
10807 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
10808 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
10809 [Steve Henson]
10810
10811 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
10812 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
10813 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
10814 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
10815 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
10816 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
10817 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
10818 using the new 'x509' options.
10819
10820 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
10821 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
10822 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
10823 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
10824 for all purposes.
10825 [Steve Henson]
10826
10827 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
10828 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
10829 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
10830 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
10831 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
10832 [Mark Cox]
10833
10834 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
10835 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
10836 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
10837 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
10838 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
10839 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
10840 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
10841 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
10842 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
10843 the key length and effective key length are equal.
10844 [Steve Henson]
10845
10846 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
10847 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
10848 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
10849 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
10850 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
10851 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
10852 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
10853 [Steve Henson]
10854
10855 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
10856 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
10857 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
10858 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
10859 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
10860 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
10861 openssl.cnf for more info.
10862 [Steve Henson]
10863
10864 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
10865 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
10866 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
10867 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
10868 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
10869 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
10870 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
10871 md should be large enough anyway.
10872 [Bodo Moeller]
10873
10874 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
10875 for handling the random seed file.
10876
10877 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
10878 ca,
10879 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
10880 s_client,
10881 s_server,
10882 x509 (when signing).
10883 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
10884 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
10885 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
10886
10887 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
10888 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
10889 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
10890 that support '-rand'.
10891 [Bodo Moeller]
10892
10893 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
10894 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
10895 [Bodo Moeller]
10896
10897 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
10898 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
10899 [Bill Perry]
10900
10901 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
10902 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
10903 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
10904 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
10905 is suitable.
10906 [Steve Henson]
10907
10908 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
10909 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
10910 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
10911 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
10912 [Steve Henson]
10913
10914 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
10915 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
10916 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
10917 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
10918 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
10919 print out all the purposes.
10920 [Steve Henson]
10921
10922 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
10923 functions.
10924 [Steve Henson]
10925
10926 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
10927 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
10928 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
10929 single function call.
10930 [Steve Henson]
10931
10932 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
10933 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
10934 [Andy Polyakov]
10935
10936 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
10937 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
10938 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
10939 [Steve Henson]
10940
10941 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
10942 when producing the local key id.
10943 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10944
10945 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
10946 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
10947 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
10948 "server.pem".
10949 [Steve Henson]
10950
10951 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
10952 a public key to be input or output. For example:
10953 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
10954 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
10955 [Steve Henson]
10956
10957 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
10958 in the message. This was handled by allowing
10959 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
10960 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
10961
10962 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
10963 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
10964 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
10965 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10966
10967 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
10968 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
10969 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
10970 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
10971 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
10972 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
10973 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
10974 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
10975 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
10976 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
10977 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
10978 trivial: move one line.
10979 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
10980
10981 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
10982 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
10983 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
10984 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
10985 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
10986 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
10987 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
10988 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
10989 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
10990 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
10991 with an event loop for example.
10992 [Steve Henson]
10993
10994 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
10995 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
10996 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
10997 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
10998 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
10999 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
11000 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
11001 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
11002 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
11003 [Steve Henson]
11004
11005 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
11006 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
11007 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
11008 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
11009 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
11010 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
11011 [Steve Henson]
11012
11013 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
11014 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
11015 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
11016 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
11017
11018 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
11019 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
11020 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
11021 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
11022 key generation.
11023 [Steve Henson]
11024
11025 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
11026 (still largely untested)
11027 [Bodo Moeller]
11028
11029 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
11030 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
11031 [Steve Henson]
11032
11033 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
11034 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
11035 [Steve Henson]
11036
11037 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
11038 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
11039 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
11040 [Bodo Moeller]
11041
11042 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
11043 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
11044 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
11045 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
11046 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
11047 [Steve Henson]
11048
11049 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
11050 [Andy Polyakov]
11051
11052 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
11053 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
11054 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
11055 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
11056 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
11057 in ca.
11058 [Steve Henson]
11059
11060 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
11061 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
11062 1.OU="Unit name 1"
11063 2.OU="Unit name 2"
11064 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
11065 [Steve Henson]
11066
11067 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
11068 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
11069 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
11070 are otherwise ignored at present.
11071 [Steve Henson]
11072
11073 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
11074 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
11075 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
11076 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
11077 copied until the next read.
11078 [Steve Henson]
11079
11080 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
11081 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
11082 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
11083 [Steve Henson]
11084
11085 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
11086 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
11087 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
11088 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
11089 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
11090 associated functions.
11091 [Steve Henson]
11092
11093 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
11094 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
11095 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
11096 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
11097 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
11098 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
11099 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
11100 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
11101 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
11102 memory BIOs.
11103 [Steve Henson]
11104
11105 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
11106 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
11107 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
11108 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
11109 [Bodo Moeller]
11110
11111 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
11112 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
11113 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
11114 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
11115 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
11116 functionality.
11117 [Steve Henson]
11118
11119 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
11120 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
11121 under Win32.
11122 [Steve Henson]
11123
11124 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
11125 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
11126 extensions to be obtained and added.
11127 [Steve Henson]
11128
11129 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
11130 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
11131 [Bodo Moeller]
11132
11133 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
11134
11135 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11136 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11137
11138 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
11139 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
11140
11141 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
11142 program.
11143 [Steve Henson]
11144
11145 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
11146 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
11147 DH parameters contain its length).
11148
11149 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
11150 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
11151 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
11152 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
11153 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
11154 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
11155 utter importance to use
11156 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11157 or
11158 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11159 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
11160 attacks may become possible!
11161 [Bodo Moeller]
11162
11163 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
11164 [Bodo Moeller]
11165
11166 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
11167 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
11168 [Steve Henson]
11169
11170 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
11171 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
11172 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
11173 or long name.
11174 [Steve Henson]
11175
11176 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
11177 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
11178 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
11179 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
11180 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
11181 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
11182 private key operations.
11183 [Steve Henson]
11184
11185 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
11186 [Andy Polyakov]
11187
11188 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
11189 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
11190 to
11191 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
11192 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
11193 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
11194 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
11195 the password callback is called.
11196 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
11197
11198 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
11199
11200 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
11201 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
11202 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
11203 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
11204 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
11205 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
11206 this will work.
11207
11208 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
11209 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
11210 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
11211 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
11212 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
11213 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
11214 [Bodo Moeller]
11215
11216 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
11217 [Andy Polyakov]
11218
11219 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
11220 delete an unused file.
11221 [Ulf Möller]
11222
11223 *) Add support for the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
11224 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
11225 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
11226 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
11227 [Steve Henson]
11228
11229 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
11230 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
11231 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
11232 of an error.
11233 [Bodo Moeller]
11234
11235 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
11236 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
11237 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
11238
11239 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
11240 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
11241 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
11242 comparison" warnings.
11243 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
11244 [Steve Henson]
11245
11246 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
11247 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
11248 derived keys are printed to stderr.
11249 [Steve Henson]
11250
11251 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
11252 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
11253
11254 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
11255 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
11256
11257 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
11258 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
11259 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
11260
11261 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
11262 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
11263 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
11264 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
11265 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
11266 this bug.
11267 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
11268
11269 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
11270 The interface is as follows:
11271 Applications can use
11272 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
11273 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
11274 "off" is now the default.
11275 The library internally uses
11276 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
11277 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
11278 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
11279
11280 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
11281 even the default) are now avoided.
11282
11283 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
11284 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
11285 than just having a counter.
11286
11287 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
11288
11289 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
11290 extensions.
11291 [Bodo Moeller]
11292
11293 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
11294 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
11295 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
11296 Initial "mode" flags are:
11297
11298 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
11299 a single record has been written.
11300 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
11301 retries use the same buffer location.
11302 (But all of the contents must be
11303 copied!)
11304 [Bodo Moeller]
11305
11306 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
11307 worked.
11308
11309 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
11310 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
11311
11312 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
11313 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
11314 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
11315 [Steve Henson]
11316
11317 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
11318 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
11319 test programs.
11320 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
11321
11322 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
11323 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
11324 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
11325 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
11326 point to the end.
11327 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
11328 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
11329
11330 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
11331 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
11332 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
11333 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
11334 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
11335 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
11336 [Steve Henson]
11337
11338 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
11339 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
11340 necessary function names.
11341 [Steve Henson]
11342
11343 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
11344 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
11345 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
11346 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
11347 [Bodo Moeller]
11348
11349 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
11350 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
11351 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
11352 [Steve Henson]
11353
11354 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
11355 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
11356 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
11357 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
11358 such programs?)
11359 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
11360 need locks.
11361 [Bodo Moeller]
11362
11363 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
11364 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
11365 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
11366 [Bodo Moeller]
11367
11368 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
11369 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
11370 appropriate.
11371 [Bodo Moeller]
11372
11373 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
11374 for the encoded length.
11375 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
11376
11377 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
11378 [Steve Henson]
11379
11380 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
11381 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
11382 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
11383 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
11384 [Steve Henson]
11385
11386 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
11387 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
11388 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11389
11390 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
11391 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
11392 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
11393 unusual formatting.
11394 [Steve Henson]
11395
11396 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
11397 to use the new extension code.
11398 [Steve Henson]
11399
11400 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
11401 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
11402 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
11403 constant.
11404 [Steve Henson]
11405
11406 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
11407 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
11408 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
11409 [Bodo Moeller]
11410
11411 #if 0
11412 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
11413 [Ben Laurie]
11414 #else
11415 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
11416 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
11417 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
11418 #endif
11419
11420 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
11421 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
11422 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
11423 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
11424 [Ben Laurie]
11425
11426 *) DES library cleanups.
11427 [Ulf Möller]
11428
11429 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
11430 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
11431 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
11432 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
11433 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
11434 of v2.0.
11435 [Steve Henson]
11436
11437 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
11438 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
11439 [Bodo Moeller]
11440
11441 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
11442 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
11443 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
11444 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
11445 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
11446 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
11447 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
11448 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
11449 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
11450 [Steve Henson]
11451
11452 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
11453 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
11454 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
11455 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
11456 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
11457 value doesn't matter.
11458 [Steve Henson]
11459
11460 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
11461 support mutable.
11462 [Ben Laurie]
11463
11464 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
11465 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
11466 "linux-sparc" configuration.
11467 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
11468
11469 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
11470 [Ulf Möller]
11471
11472 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
11473 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
11474 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11475
11476 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
11477 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11478
11479 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
11480 [Ben Laurie]
11481
11482 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
11483 [Ben Laurie]
11484
11485 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
11486 [Ben Laurie]
11487
11488 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
11489 [Bodo Moeller]
11490
11491
11492 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
11493
11494 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
11495
11496 *) Updated some demos.
11497 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
11498
11499 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
11500 [Wu Zhigang]
11501
11502 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
11503 [Steve Henson]
11504
11505 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
11506 [Steve Henson]
11507
11508 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
11509 instead of using a fixed path.
11510 [Bodo Moeller]
11511
11512 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
11513 [Andy Polyakov]
11514
11515 *) Improvements for VMS support.
11516 [Richard Levitte]
11517
11518
11519 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
11520
11521 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
11522 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
11523 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11524
11525 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
11526 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
11527 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
11528 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
11529 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
11530 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
11531 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
11532 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
11533 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
11534 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
11535 [Steve Henson]
11536
11537 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
11538 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
11539 [Steve Henson]
11540
11541 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
11542 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
11543 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
11544 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
11545 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
11546
11547 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
11548 [Bodo Moeller]
11549
11550 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
11551 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
11552 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
11553 [Steve Henson]
11554
11555 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
11556 [Ben Laurie]
11557
11558 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
11559 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
11560 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
11561 key elements as negative integers.
11562 [Steve Henson]
11563
11564 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
11565 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11566
11567 *) VMS support.
11568 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
11569
11570 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
11571 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
11572 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
11573 [Steve Henson]
11574
11575 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
11576 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
11577 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
11578 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
11579 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
11580 [Bodo Moeller]
11581
11582 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
11583 [Ulf Möller]
11584
11585 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
11586 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
11587 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
11588 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11589
11590 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
11591 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
11592 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
11593
11594 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
11595 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
11596 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
11597 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
11598 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
11599 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
11600 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
11601 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
11602 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
11603
11604 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
11605 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
11606 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
11607 does not influence s as it used to.
11608
11609 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
11610 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
11611 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
11612 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
11613 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
11614 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
11615 [Bodo Moeller]
11616
11617 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
11618 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
11619 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
11620 key type.
11621 [Steve Henson]
11622
11623 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
11624 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
11625 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
11626 and 'x509').
11627 [Steve Henson]
11628
11629 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
11630 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
11631 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
11632 extension option.
11633 [Steve Henson]
11634
11635 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
11636 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
11637 [Ben Laurie]
11638
11639 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
11640 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11641
11642 *) Support Mingw32.
11643 [Ulf Möller]
11644
11645 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
11646 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11647
11648 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
11649 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11650
11651 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
11652 [Ulf Möller]
11653
11654 *) Update HPUX configuration.
11655 [Anonymous]
11656
11657 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
11658 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11659
11660 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
11661 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
11662 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
11663 DER-encoded.)
11664 [Bodo Moeller]
11665
11666 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
11667 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
11668 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
11669 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
11670 now it really counts the depth.
11671 [Bodo Moeller]
11672
11673 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
11674 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
11675 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
11676 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
11677 didn't match the private key).
11678
11679 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
11680 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
11681 connection using the SSL_CTX).
11682 [Bodo Moeller]
11683
11684 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
11685 [Ulf Möller]
11686
11687 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
11688 David Harris.
11689 [Bodo Moeller]
11690
11691 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
11692 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
11693 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
11694 [Bodo Moeller]
11695
11696 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
11697 [Bodo Moeller]
11698
11699 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
11700 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
11701 such as /usr/local/bin.
11702 [Bodo Moeller]
11703
11704 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
11705 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11706
11707 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
11708 [Ulf Möller]
11709
11710 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
11711 extension adding in x509 utility.
11712 [Steve Henson]
11713
11714 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
11715 [Ulf Möller]
11716
11717 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
11718 prototypes.
11719 [Steve Henson]
11720
11721 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
11722 [Ulf Möller]
11723
11724 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
11725 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
11726 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
11727 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
11728 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
11729 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
11730 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
11731 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
11732 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
11733 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
11734 [Steve Henson]
11735
11736 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
11737 [Bodo Moeller]
11738
11739 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
11740 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
11741 [Bodo Moeller]
11742
11743 *) Fix some race conditions.
11744 [Bodo Moeller]
11745
11746 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
11747 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
11748 [Steve Henson]
11749
11750 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
11751 [Ulf Möller]
11752
11753 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
11754 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
11755 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
11756 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
11757
11758 *) Fix lots of warnings.
11759 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11760
11761 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
11762 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
11763 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11764
11765 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
11766 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11767
11768 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
11769 [Ulf Möller]
11770
11771 *) Fix typos in error codes.
11772 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
11773
11774 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
11775 [Ulf Möller]
11776
11777 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
11778 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11779
11780 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
11781 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
11782 [Steve Henson]
11783
11784 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
11785 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
11786 [Ben Laurie]
11787
11788 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
11789 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
11790 [Steve Henson]
11791
11792 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
11793 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
11794 [Steve Henson]
11795
11796 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
11797 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
11798 [Steve Henson]
11799
11800 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
11801 support typesafe stack.
11802 [Steve Henson]
11803
11804 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
11805 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
11806
11807 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
11808 old X509V3 handling code.
11809 [Steve Henson]
11810
11811 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
11812 [Ulf Möller]
11813
11814 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
11815 [Bodo Moeller]
11816
11817 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
11818 [Ben Laurie]
11819
11820 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
11821 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
11822
11823 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
11824 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
11825 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
11826 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
11827 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
11828 [Ben Laurie]
11829
11830 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
11831 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
11832 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
11833 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
11834 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
11835
11836 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
11837 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
11838 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
11839 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11840
11841 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
11842 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
11843 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
11844 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11845
11846 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
11847 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
11848 all available ciphers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
11849 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
11850 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
11851 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
11852 [Bodo Moeller]
11853
11854 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
11855 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
11856 [Bodo Moeller]
11857
11858 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
11859 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
11860 [Ulf Möller]
11861
11862 *) Tweaks to Configure
11863 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11864
11865 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
11866 yet...
11867 [Steve Henson]
11868
11869 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
11870 [Ulf Möller]
11871
11872 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
11873 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
11874 [Ulf Möller]
11875
11876 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
11877 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
11878 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
11879 [Bodo Moeller]
11880
11881 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
11882 [Bodo Moeller]
11883
11884 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
11885 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
11886 [Steve Henson]
11887
11888 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
11889 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
11890 to library startup routines.
11891 [Steve Henson]
11892
11893 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
11894 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
11895 codes along the way.
11896 [Steve Henson]
11897
11898 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
11899 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
11900 objects to objects.h
11901 [Steve Henson]
11902
11903 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
11904 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
11905 [Steve Henson]
11906
11907 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
11908 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
11909
11910 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
11911 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
11912 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
11913
11914 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
11915 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11916 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11917
11918 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
11919 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
11920 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
11921
11922
11923 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
11924
11925 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
11926 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
11927 [Ben Laurie]
11928
11929 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
11930 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
11931 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
11932 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
11933 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
11934
11935 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
11936 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
11937 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
11938 document.
11939 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11940
11941 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
11942 Malloc, Free.
11943 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
11944
11945 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
11946 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11947
11948 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
11949 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
11950 if someone would make that last step automatic.
11951 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
11952
11953 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
11954 [Ben Laurie]
11955
11956 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
11957 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
11958 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
11959 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
11960 [Steve Henson]
11961
11962 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
11963 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
11964 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
11965 [Steve Henson]
11966
11967 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
11968 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
11969 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
11970 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
11971 installed as `perl').
11972 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11973
11974 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
11975 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11976
11977 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
11978 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
11979 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
11980 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
11981 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
11982 [Steve Henson]
11983
11984 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
11985 [Ben Laurie]
11986
11987 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
11988 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
11989 is horrible: I feel ill....
11990 [Steve Henson]
11991
11992 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
11993 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
11994 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
11995 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
11996 [Steve Henson]
11997
11998 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
11999 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12000
12001 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
12002 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
12003 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
12004 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12005
12006 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
12007 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
12008 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
12009 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
12010 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
12011 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
12012 openssl_bio.xs.
12013 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12014
12015 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
12016 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12017
12018 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
12019 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
12020
12021 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
12022 [Ben Laurie]
12023
12024 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
12025 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
12026 in CRLs.
12027 [Steve Henson]
12028
12029 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
12030 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
12031 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
12032 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
12033 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
12034 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
12035 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
12036 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
12037 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
12038 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
12039 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12040
12041 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
12042 [Ben Laurie]
12043
12044 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
12045 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
12046 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
12047 for linking it into DSOs.
12048 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12049
12050 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
12051 Fixed.
12052 [Ben Laurie]
12053
12054 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
12055 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
12056 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
12057 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
12058 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
12059 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12060
12061 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
12062 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
12063 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
12064 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
12065 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
12066 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
12067 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12068
12069 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
12070 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
12071 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
12072 encryption.
12073 [Ben Laurie]
12074
12075 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
12076 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
12077 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
12078 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
12079 [Steve Henson]
12080
12081 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
12082 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
12083 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
12084 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
12085 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
12086 field as blank.
12087 [Steve Henson]
12088
12089 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
12090 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
12091 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
12092 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
12093 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12094
12095 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
12096 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
12097 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12098
12099 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
12100 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12101
12102 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
12103 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
12104 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
12105 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
12106 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
12107 [Steve Henson]
12108
12109 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
12110 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
12111 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
12112 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
12113 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
12114 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
12115 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
12116 [Ben Laurie]
12117
12118 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
12119 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
12120 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
12121 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
12122 [Ben Laurie]
12123
12124 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
12125 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
12126
12127 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
12128 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
12129 [Steve Henson]
12130
12131 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
12132 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
12133 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
12134 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
12135 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
12136 (e.g. s_server).
12137 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
12138 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
12139 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
12140 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
12141 no way to reconfigure them.
12142 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
12143 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
12144 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
12145 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
12146 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
12147 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12148
12149 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
12150 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
12151 recognized by the users.
12152 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12153
12154 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
12155 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
12156 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
12157 already masked variable.
12158 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12159
12160 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
12161 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12162
12163 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
12164 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
12165 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
12166 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12167
12168 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
12169 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
12170 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12171
12172 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
12173 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
12174 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
12175 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
12176 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
12177 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
12178 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
12179 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
12180 now, too.
12181 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12182
12183 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
12184 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
12185 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12186
12187 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
12188 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
12189 config file.
12190 [Steve Henson]
12191
12192 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
12193 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12194
12195 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
12196 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
12197 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
12198 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
12199 [Ben Laurie]
12200
12201 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
12202 [Steve Henson]
12203
12204 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
12205 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12206
12207 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
12208 [Ben Laurie]
12209
12210 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
12211 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
12212 [Steve Henson]
12213
12214 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
12215 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
12216 [Steve Henson]
12217
12218 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
12219 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
12220 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
12221 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
12222 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
12223 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
12224 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
12225 Ben Laurie]
12226
12227 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
12228 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12229
12230 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
12231 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
12232 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
12233 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
12234 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12235
12236 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
12237 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
12238 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
12239 [Steve Henson]
12240
12241 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
12242 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
12243 an example.
12244 [Steve Henson]
12245
12246 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
12247 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
12248 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12249
12250 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
12251 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
12252 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
12253 build instructions.
12254 [Steve Henson]
12255
12256 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
12257 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
12258 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
12259 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
12260 [Steve Henson]
12261
12262 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
12263 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
12264 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
12265 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
12266 [Ben Laurie]
12267
12268 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
12269 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
12270 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
12271 so it wasn't spotted.
12272 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
12273
12274 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
12275 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
12276 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
12277 vectors if you have them.
12278 [Ben Laurie]
12279
12280 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
12281 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
12282 [Ben Laurie]
12283
12284 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
12285 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
12286 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
12287 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
12288 If you do a:
12289 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
12290 it will update them.
12291 [Steve Henson]
12292
12293 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
12294 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
12295 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
12296 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
12297 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
12298 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
12299 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
12300 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12301
12302 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
12303 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
12304 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
12305 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
12306 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
12307 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
12308 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
12309 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
12310 the crypto/md/ stuff).
12311 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12312
12313 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
12314 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
12315 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
12316 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
12317 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
12318 [Steve Henson]
12319
12320 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
12321 INTEGER code.
12322 [Steve Henson]
12323
12324 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
12325 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12326
12327 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
12328 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12329
12330 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
12331 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
12332 [Ben Laurie]
12333
12334 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
12335 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
12336
12337 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
12338 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
12339
12340 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
12341 [Steve Henson]
12342
12343 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
12344 few typos.
12345 [Steve Henson]
12346
12347 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
12348 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
12349 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
12350 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12351
12352 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12353 [Steve Henson]
12354
12355 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12356 [Steve Henson]
12357
12358 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
12359 [Steve Henson]
12360
12361 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
12362 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
12363 [Steve Henson]
12364
12365 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
12366 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
12367 CA extensions.
12368 [Steve Henson]
12369
12370 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
12371 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
12372 [Steve Henson]
12373
12374 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
12375 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
12376 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
12377 [Steve Henson]
12378
12379 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
12380 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
12381 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
12382 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
12383 properly to be processed.
12384 [Steve Henson]
12385
12386 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
12387 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
12388 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
12389 [Ben Laurie]
12390
12391 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
12392 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
12393
12394 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
12395 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
12396 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
12397 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
12398 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
12399 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
12400 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
12401 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
12402 or delete all the .err files.
12403 [Steve Henson]
12404
12405 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
12406 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
12407 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
12408 to regenerate it if needed.
12409 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
12410 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
12411
12412 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
12413 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12414
12415 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
12416 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
12417 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
12418 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
12419 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
12420 [Steve Henson]
12421
12422 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
12423 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12424
12425 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
12426 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12427
12428 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
12429 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
12430 error, but didn't set one).
12431 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12432
12433 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
12434 [Ben Laurie]
12435
12436 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
12437 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
12438 [Steve Henson]
12439
12440 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
12441 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
12442
12443 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
12444 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
12445 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
12446 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
12447 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
12448 OID is not part of the table.
12449 [Steve Henson]
12450
12451 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
12452 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
12453 [Ben Laurie]
12454
12455 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
12456 [Ben Laurie]
12457
12458 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
12459 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
12460 was "1234").
12461 [Steve Henson]
12462
12463 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
12464 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
12465
12466 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
12467 NULL pointers.
12468 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12469
12470 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
12471 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12472
12473 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
12474 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12475
12476 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
12477 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12478
12479 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
12480 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
12481 [Ben Laurie]
12482
12483 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
12484 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
12485 [Steve Henson]
12486
12487 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
12488 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12489
12490 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
12491 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12492
12493 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
12494 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12495
12496 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
12497 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12498
12499 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
12500 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
12501 unused in the certificate verification process.
12502 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12503
12504 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
12505 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
12506 [Steve Henson]
12507
12508 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
12509 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
12510 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
12511
12512 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
12513 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
12514 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
12515 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
12516 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
12517
12518 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
12519 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
12520 [Steve Henson]
12521
12522 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
12523 [Steve Henson]
12524
12525 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
12526 [Paul Sutton]
12527
12528 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
12529 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
12530
12531 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
12532 [Ben Laurie]
12533
12534 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
12535 [Ben Laurie]
12536
12537 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
12538 [Ben Laurie]
12539
12540 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
12541 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
12542 other error libraries.
12543 [Steve Henson]
12544
12545 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
12546 [Steve Henson]
12547
12548 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
12549 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
12550 be read in.
12551 [Steve Henson]
12552
12553 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
12554 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
12555 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
12556 the new set of documentation files.
12557 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12558
12559 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
12560 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
12561 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
12562 number of arguments.
12563 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
12564
12565 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
12566 [Ben Laurie]
12567
12568 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
12569 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
12570 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12571
12572 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
12573 [Ben Laurie]
12574
12575 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
12576 nextstep
12577 ncr-scde
12578 unixware-2.0
12579 unixware-2.0-pentium
12580 sco5-cc.
12581 [Ben Laurie]
12582
12583 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
12584 before they are needed.
12585 [Ben Laurie]
12586
12587 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
12588 [Ben Laurie]
12589
12590
12591 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
12592
12593 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
12594 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
12595 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12596
12597 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
12598 [Paul Sutton]
12599
12600 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
12601 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
12602 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12603
12604 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
12605 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
12606 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
12607
12608 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
12609 when "ssleay" is still not found.
12610 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12611
12612 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
12613 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
12614
12615 *) Updated the README file.
12616 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12617
12618 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
12619 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
12620 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12621
12622 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
12623 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
12624 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12625
12626 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
12627 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
12628 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
12629 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
12630 o removed obsolete TODO file
12631 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
12632 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12633
12634 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
12635 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
12636 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
12637 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
12638 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
12639 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
12640 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12641
12642 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
12643 [Mark J. Cox]
12644
12645 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
12646 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
12647 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
12648 summer 1998.
12649 [The OpenSSL Project]
12650
12651
12652 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
12653
12654 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
12655 [Eric A. Young]
12656
12657 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
12658 [Eric A. Young]
12659
12660 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
12661 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
12662 [Eric A. Young]
12663
12664 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
12665 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
12666 available).
12667 [Eric A. Young]
12668
12669 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
12670 binary structures
12671 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
12672
12673 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
12674 [Eric A. Young]
12675
12676 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
12677 [Eric A. Young]
12678
12679 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
12680 [Eric A. Young]
12681
12682 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
12683 [Eric A. Young]
12684
12685 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
12686 [Eric A. Young]
12687
12688 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
12689 [Eric A. Young]
12690
12691 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
12692 [Eric A. Young]
12693
12694 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
12695 [Eric A. Young]
12696
12697 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
12698 [Eric A. Young]
12699
12700 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
12701 [Eric A. Young]
12702
12703 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
12704 [Eric A. Young]
12705
12706 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
12707 [Eric A. Young]
12708
12709 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
12710 [Eric A. Young]
12711
12712 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
12713 [Eric A. Young]
12714
12715 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
12716 [Eric A. Young]
12717
12718 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
12719 [Eric A. Young]
12720
12721 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
12722 [Eric A. Young]
12723
12724 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
12725 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
12726 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
12727 [Eric A. Young]
12728
12729 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
12730 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
12731 [Eric A. Young]
12732
12733 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
12734 [Eric A. Young]
12735
12736 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
12737 [Eric A. Young]
12738
12739 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
12740 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
12741 [Eric A. Young]
12742
12743 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
12744 [Eric A. Young]
12745
12746 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
12747 [Eric A. Young]
12748
12749 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
12750 bytes sent in the client random.
12751 [Edward Bishop <ebishop@spyglass.com>]
12752
