10 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
11
12 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
13 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
14 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
15 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
16 [Richard Levitte]
17
18 *) In the UI interface, make it possible to duplicate the user data. This
19 can be used by engines that need to retain the data for a longer time
20 than just the call where this user data is passed.
21 [Richard Levitte]
22
23 *) Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of applications
24 with OpenSSL 1.0.2.
25 [Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org>]
26
27 *) Fragmented SSL/TLS alerts are no longer accepted. An alert message is 2
28 bytes long. In theory it is permissible in SSLv3 - TLSv1.2 to fragment such
29 alerts across multiple records (some of which could be empty). In practice
30 it make no sense to send an empty alert record, or to fragment one. TLSv1.3
31 prohibts this altogether and other libraries (BoringSSL, NSS) do not
32 support this at all. Supporting it adds significant complexity to the
33 record layer, and its removal is unlikely to cause inter-operability
34 issues.
35 [Matt Caswell]
36
37 *) Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
38 with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
39 The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
40 in OpenSSL 1.2.0.
41 [Richard Levitte]
42
43 *) Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
44 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
45 [Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov]
46
47 *) Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
48 does for RSA, etc.
49 [Richard Levitte]
50
51 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
52 platform rather than 'mingw'.
53 [Richard Levitte]
54
55 *) The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
56 success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
57 in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
58 certificates and CRLs.
59 [Paul Dale]
60
61 *) x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
62 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
63 [Andy Polyakov]
64
65 *) Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
66 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
67 [Richard Levitte]
68
69 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
70 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
71 which is the minimum version we support.
72 [Richard Levitte]
73
74 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
75 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
76 are no longer allowed.
77 [Emilia Käsper]
78
79 *) Add support for ARIA
80 [Paul Dale]
81
82 *) s_client will now send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension by
83 default unless the new "-noservername" option is used. The server name is
84 based on the host provided to the "-connect" option unless overridden by
85 using "-servername".
86 [Matt Caswell]
87
88 *) Add support for SipHash
89 [Todd Short]
90
91 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
92 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
93 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
94 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
95 [Matt Caswell]
96
97 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
98 using the algorithm defined in
99 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
100 [Richard Levitte]
101
102 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
103 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
104
105 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
106 [Emilia Käsper]
107
108 *) The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid patent
109 issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.
110 [Rich Salz]
111
112 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
113
114 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
115 platform rather than 'mingw'.
116 [Richard Levitte]
117
118 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
119 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
120 which is the minimum version we support.
121 [Richard Levitte]
122
123 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
124
125 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
126
127 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
128 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
129 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
130 and servers are affected.
131
132 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
133 (CVE-2017-3733)
134 [Matt Caswell]
135
136 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
137
138 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
139
140 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
141 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
142 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
143
144 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
145 (CVE-2017-3731)
146 [Andy Polyakov]
147
148 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
149
150 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
151 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
152 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
153 of Service attack.
154
155 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
156 (CVE-2017-3730)
157 [Matt Caswell]
158
159 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
160
161 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
162 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
163 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
164 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
165 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
166 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
167 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
168 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
169 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
170 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
171 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
172 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
173 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
174
175 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
176 (CVE-2017-3732)
177 [Andy Polyakov]
178
179 Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
180
181 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
182
183 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
184 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
185 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
186
187 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
188 (CVE-2016-7054)
189 [Richard Levitte]
190
191 *) CMS Null dereference
192
193 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
194 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
195 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
196 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
197 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
198 affected.
199
200 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
201 (CVE-2016-7053)
202 [Stephen Henson]
203
204 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
205
206 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
207 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
208 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
209 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
210 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
211 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
212 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
213 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
214 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
215 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
216 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
217 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
218 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
219 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
220
221 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
222 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
223 providing reproducible case.
224 (CVE-2016-7055)
225 [Andy Polyakov]
226
227 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
228 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
229 [Richard Levitte]
230
231 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
232
233 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
234
235 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
236 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
237 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
238 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
239 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
240 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
241
242 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
243
244 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
245 (CVE-2016-6309)
246 [Matt Caswell]
247
248 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
249
250 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
251
252 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
253 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
254 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
255 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
256 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
257 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
258 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
259
260 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
261 (CVE-2016-6304)
262 [Matt Caswell]
263
264 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
265
266 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
267 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
268 Denial Of Service attack.
269
270 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
271 (CVE-2016-6305)
272 [Matt Caswell]
273
274 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
275 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
276
277 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
278 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
279 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
280 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
281 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
282 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
283 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
284 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
285 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
286 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
287 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
288 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
289 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
290 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
291 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
292
293 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
294 that the connection fails
295 or
296 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
297 very little free memory
298 or
299 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
300 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
301 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
302 memory to service the multiple requests.
303
304 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
305 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
306 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
307 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
308 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.
309
310 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
311 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
312 [Matt Caswell]
313
314 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
315 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
316 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
317 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
318 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
319 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
320 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
321 [Andy Polyakov]
322
323 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
324
325 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
326 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
327 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
328 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
329 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
330 non-ASCII password.
331 [Andy Polyakov]
332
333 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
334 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
335 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
336 [Rich Salz]
337
338 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
339 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
340 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
341 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
342 [Matt Caswell]
343
344 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
345 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
346 success.
347 [Matt Caswell]
348
349 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
350 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
351 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
352 no-ops and deprecated.
353 [Matt Caswell]
354
355 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
356 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
357 were also closed.
358 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
359
360 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
361 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
362 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
363 [Rich Salz]
364
365 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
366 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
367 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
368 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
369 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
370 and the validity of object reference counter.
371 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
372
373 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
374 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
375 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
376 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
377 [Richard Levitte]
378
379 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
380 [Richard Levitte]
381
382 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
383 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
384 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
385 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
386
387 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
388
389 [Richard Levitte]
390
391 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
392 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
393 [Steve Henson]
394
395 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
396 [Andy Polyakov]
397
398 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
399 [Rich Salz]
400
401 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
402 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
403 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
404 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
405 name and is used as is.
406 [Richard Levitte]
407
408 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
409 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
410 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
411 [Rich Salz]
412
413 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
414 the "no-shared" Configure option.
415 [Matt Caswell]
416
417 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
418 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
419 algorithms.
420 [Matt Caswell]
421
422 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
423 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
424 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
425 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
426 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
427 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
428 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
429 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
430 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
431 [Matt Caswell]
432
433 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
434 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
435 enabled with '--debug' builds.
436 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
437
438 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
439 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
440 these have been added.
441 [Matt Caswell]
442
443 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
444 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
445 functions for managing these have been added.
446 [Richard Levitte]
447
448 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
449 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
450 these have been added.
451 [Matt Caswell]
452
453 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
454 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
455 have been added.
456 [Matt Caswell]
457
458 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
459 [Matt Caswell]
460
461 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
462 [Richard Levitte]
463
464 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
465 it is always safe to #include a header now.
466 [Rich Salz]
467
468 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
469 [Richard Levitte]
470
471 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
472 [Rich Salz]
473
474 *) Add support for HKDF.
475 [Alessandro Ghedini]
476
477 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
478 [Bill Cox]
479
480 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
481 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
482 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
483 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
484 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
485 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
486 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
487 [Matt Caswell]
488
489 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
490 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
491 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
492 [Catriona Lucey]
493
494 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
495 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
496 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
497 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
498 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
499 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
500 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
501
502 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
503 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
504 [Todd Short]
505
506 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
507 [Todd Short]
508
509 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
510 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
511 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
512 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
513 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
514 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
515 default cipherlist.
516 [Emilia Käsper]
517
518 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
519 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
520 [Rich Salz]
521
522 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
523 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
524 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
525 [Matt Caswell]
526
527 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
528 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
529 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
530 implemented by other servers.
531 [Emilia Käsper]
532
533 *) Add X25519 support.
534 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
535 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
536 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
537 key generation and key derivation.
538
539 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
540 X25519(29).
541 [Steve Henson]
542
543 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
544 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
545 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
546 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
547 seed, even if the seed is configured.
548
549 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
550 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
551 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
552 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
553 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
554 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
555 that of a valid user.
556 [Emilia Käsper]
557
558 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
559 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
560 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
561 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
562
563 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
564 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
565
566 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
567 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
568 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
569 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
570
571 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
572 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
573 irrelevant.
574 [Richard Levitte]
575
576 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
577 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
578 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
579 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
580 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
581 of how OpenSSL was configured.
582
583 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
584 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
585 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
586 [Richard Levitte]
587
588 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
589 [Rich Salz]
590
591 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
592 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
593 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
594 removed.
595 [Richard Levitte]
596
597 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
598 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
599 old #define's might need to be updated.
600 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
601
602 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
603 [Rich Salz]
604
605 *) New "unified" build system
606
607 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
608 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
609
610 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
611 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
612 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
613
614 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
615 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
616 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
617 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
618 descrip.mms.tmpl.
619
620 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
621 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
622 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
623 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
624 libraries" in INSTALL.
625
626 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
627 [Richard Levitte]
628
629 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
630 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
631 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
632 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
633 [Matt Caswell]
634
635 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
636 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
637
638 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
639 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
640 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
641 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
642 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
643 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
644 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
645 have been adapted accordingly.
646 [Richard Levitte]
647
648 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
649 the leading 0-byte.
650 [Emilia Käsper]
651
652 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
653 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
654 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
655 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
656 [Emilia Käsper]
657
658 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
659 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
660 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
661 'unsigned char*'.
662 [Emilia Käsper]
663
664 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
665 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
666 [Emilia Käsper]
667
668 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
669 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
670 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
671 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
672 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
673 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
674 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
675
676 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
677 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
678
679 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
680 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
681 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
682 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
683 Text::Template.
684
685 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
686 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
687 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
688 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
689 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
690 %target).
691 [Richard Levitte]
692
693 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
694 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
695 straightforward and less interdependent.
696
697 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
698 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
699 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
700
701 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
702 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
703 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
704 installed.
705 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
706 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
707 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
708 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
709
710 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
711 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
712 [Richard Levitte]
713
714 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
715 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
716 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
717 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
718 is present).
719 [Matt Caswell]
720
721 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
722 configuring.
723 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
724
725 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
726 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
727 before trying to build now.*
728 [Rich Salz]
729
730 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
731 has changed.
732 [Rich Salz]
733
734 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
735
736 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
737 the application's responsibility. The application provides
738 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
739 used to authenticate the peer.
740
741 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
742 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
743 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
744 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
745 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
746 [Viktor Dukhovni]
747
748 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
749 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
750 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
751 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
752 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
753 or the 1.1.0 releases.
754
755 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
756 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
757 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
758 support for the deprecated features from the library and
759 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
760 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
761 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
762 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
763 version.
764
765 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
766 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
767 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
768 compile with later releases.
769
770 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
771 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
772 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
773 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
774 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
775 [Viktor Dukhovni]
776
777 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
778 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
779 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
780 MaxProtcol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
781 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
782 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
783 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
784 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
785 [Kurt Roeckx]
786
787 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
788 [Andy Polyakov]
789
790 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
791 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
792 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
793 ECDSA_SIG format.
794
795 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
796 include the ec.h header file instead.
797 [Steve Henson]
798
799 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
800 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
801 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
802 [Kurt Roeckx]
803
804 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
805 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
806 were added:
807
808 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
809 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
810
811 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
812 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
813 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
814
815 Additional changes:
816 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
817 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
818 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
819 an already created structure.
820 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
821 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
822 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
823 for deprecated builds.
824 [Richard Levitte]
825
826 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
827 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
828 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
829 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
830 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
831 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
832 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
833 [Matt Caswell]
834
835 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
836 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
837 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
838 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
839 [Kurt Roeckx]
840
841 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
842 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
843 [Kurt Roeckx]
844
845 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
846 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
847 [Kurt Roeckx]
848
849 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
850 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
851 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
852 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
853 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
854 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
855 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
856 also been removed.
857 [Matt Caswell]
858
859 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
860 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
861 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
862 [Rich Salz]
863
864 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
865 [Rich Salz]
866
867 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
868 sureware and ubsec.
869 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
870
871 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
872
873 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
874 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
875
876 FOO *x;
877
878 it must be:
879
880 FOO x;
881
882 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
883 set a mandatory field to NULL.
884
885 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
886 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
887 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
888 SEQUENCE OF.
889 [Steve Henson]
890
891 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
892 [Emilia Käsper]
893
894 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
895 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
896 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
897 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
898 [Matt Caswell]
899
900 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
901 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
902 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
903 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
904 [Emilia Käsper]
905
906 *) Fix no-stdio build.
907 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
908 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
909
910 *) New testing framework
911 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
912 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
913 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
914 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
915 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
916 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
917
918 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
919
920 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
921 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
922
923 [Richard Levitte]
924
925 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
926 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
927 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
928 and others were changed. All are now documented.
929 [Rich Salz]
930
931 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
932 return an error
933 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
934
935 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
936 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
937
938 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
939 original RSA_PSK patch.
940 [Steve Henson]
941
942 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
943 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
944 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
945 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
946 [Matt Caswell]
947
948 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
949 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
950 [Richard Levitte]
951
952 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
953 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
954 hasn't been working properly for a while.
955 [Emilia Käsper]
956
957 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
958 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
959 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
960 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
961 transferred.
962 [Matt Caswell]
963
964 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
965 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
966 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
967 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
968 [Matt Caswell]
969
970 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
971 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
972 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
973 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
974 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
975 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
976 [Matt Caswell]
977
978 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
979 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
980 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
981 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
982 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
983 header file has been removed.
984 [Matt Caswell]
985
986 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
987 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
988 [Matt Caswell]
989
990 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
991 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
992 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
993
994 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
995 Added a test.
996 [Rich Salz]
997
998 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
999 [Rich Salz]
1000
1001 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
1002 sha256
1003 [Rich Salz]
1004
1005 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
1006 [Matt Caswell]
1007
1008 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
1009 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
1010 initial patch which was a great help during development.
1011 [Steve Henson]
1012
1013 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
1014 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
1015 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
1016 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
1017 [Matt Caswell]
1018
1019 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
1020 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
1021 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
1022 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
1023 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
1024 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
1025 [Matt Caswell]
1026
1027 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
1028 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
1029 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
1030 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
1031 [Matt Caswell]
1032
1033 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
1034 compatible client hello.
1035 [Kurt Roeckx]
1036
1037 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
1038 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
1039 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
1040
1041 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
1042 [Rich Salz]
1043
1044 *) Removed old DES API.
1045 [Rich Salz]
1046
1047 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
1048 Sony NEWS4
1049 BEOS and BEOS_R5
1050 NeXT
1051 SUNOS
1052 MPE/iX
1053 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
1054 DGUX
1055 NCR
1056 Tandem
1057 Cray
1058 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
1059 [Rich Salz]
1060
1061 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
1062 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
1063 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
1064 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
1065 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
1066 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
1067 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
1068 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
1069 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
1070 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
1071 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
1072 [Rich Salz]
1073
1074 *) Cleaned up dead code
1075 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
1076 [Rich Salz]
1077
1078 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
1079 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
1080 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
1081 [Rich Salz]
1082
1083 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
1084 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
1085 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
1086 [Rich Salz]
1087
1088 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
1089 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
1090 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
1091
1092 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
1093 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
1094 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
1095
1096 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1097 compilation flags.
1098 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1099
1100 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1101 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
1102 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1103
1104 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1105 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1106
1107 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1108 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1109 server.
1110
1111 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1112 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1113 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1114 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1115
1116 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1117 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1118 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1119 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1120
1121 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1122 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1123 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1124
1125 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1126 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1127 [Steve Henson]
1128
1129 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
1130
1131 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
1132 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
1133
1134 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
1135 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
1136
1137 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
1138 effect.
1139
1140 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
1141
1142 [Steve Henson]
1143
1144 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1145 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1146 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1147 algorithms and include tests cases.
1148 [Steve Henson]
1149
1150 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
1151 enveloped data.
1152 [Steve Henson]
1153
1154 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1155 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1156 [Steve Henson]
1157
1158 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1159 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1160
1161 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
1162 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
1163 [Steve Henson]
1164
1165 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
1166 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
1167 failures.
1168 [Steve Henson]
1169
1170 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
1171 sign or verify all in one operation.
1172 [Steve Henson]
1173
1174 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
1175 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
1176 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
1177 [Steve Henson]
1178
1179 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
1180 [Steve Henson]
1181
1182 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
1183 [Steve Henson]
1184
1185 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
1186 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
1187 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
1188 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
1189 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
1190 [Steve Henson]
1191
1192 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
1193 based on NID.
1194 [Steve Henson]
1195
1196 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
1197 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
1198 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
1199 [Steve Henson]
1200
1201 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
1202 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
1203
1204 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
1205 POST to handle HMAC cases.
1206 [Steve Henson]
1207
1208 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
1209 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
1210 [Steve Henson]
1211
1212 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
1213 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
1214 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1215 [Steve Henson]
1216
1217 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
1218 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
1219 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
1220 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
1221 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
1222 requested amount of entropy.
1223 [Steve Henson]
1224
1225 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
1226 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
1227 [Steve Henson]
1228
1229 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
1230 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
1231 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
1232 support.
1233 [Steve Henson]
1234
1235 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
1236 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
1237 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
1238 [Steve Henson]
1239
1240 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
1241 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
1242 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
1243 will never use XTS mode.
1244 [Steve Henson]
1245
1246 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
1247 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
1248 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
1249 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
1250 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
1251 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
1252 [Steve Henson]
1253
1254 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
1255 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
1256 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
1257 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
1258 [Steve Henson]
1259
1260 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
1261 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
1262 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
1263 [Steve Henson]
1264
1265 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
1266 [Steve Henson]
1267
1268 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
1269 [Steve Henson]
1270
1271 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
1272 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
1273 [Steve Henson]
1274
1275 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
1276 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
1277 [Steve Henson]
1278
1279 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
1280 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
1281 [Steve Henson]
1282
1283 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
1284 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
1285 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
1286 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
1287 and rename any affected symbols.
1288 [Steve Henson]
1289
1290 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
1291 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
1292 [Steve Henson]
1293
1294 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
1295 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
1296 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
1297 [Steve Henson]
1298
1299 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1300 [Steve Henson]
1301
1302 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
1303 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
1304 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
1305 [Steve Henson]
1306
1307 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
1308 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
1309 [Steve Henson]
1310
1311 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
1312 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
1313 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
1314 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
1315 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
1316 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
1317 set before the key.
1318 [Steve Henson]
1319
1320 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
1321 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
1322 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
1323 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
1324 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
1325 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
1326 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
1327 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
1328 [Steve Henson]
1329
1330 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
1331 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
1332 [Steve Henson]
1333
1334 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
1335
1336 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1337 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1338
1339 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
1340 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
1341 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
1342 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
1343 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
1344 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
1345
1346 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
1347 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
1348 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
1349 security.
1350 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1351
1352 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
1353 parameters by name.
1354 [Steve Henson]
1355
1356 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
1357 Add CMAC pkey methods.
1358 [Steve Henson]
1359
1360 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
1361 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
1362 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
1363 [Steve Henson]
1364
1365 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
1366 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
1367 multi-process servers.
1368 [Steve Henson]
1369
1370 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
1371 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
1372 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
1373 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
1374 RAND_METHOD structure.
1375 [Steve Henson]
1376
1377 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
1378 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
1379 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
1380 whose return value is often ignored.
1381 [Steve Henson]
1382
1383 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
1384 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
1385 validated when establishing a connection.
1386 [Rob Percival <robpercival@google.com>]
1387
1388 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
1389
1390 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
1391
1392 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
1393 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
1394 AES-NI.
1395
1396 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
1397 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
1398 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
1399 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
1400 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
1401 bytes.
1402
1403 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
1404 (CVE-2016-2107)
1405 [Kurt Roeckx]
1406
1407 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
1408
1409 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
1410 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
1411 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
1412 corruption.
1413
1414 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
1415 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
1416 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
1417 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
1418 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
1419 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
1420
1421 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1422 (CVE-2016-2105)
1423 [Matt Caswell]
1424
1425 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
1426
1427 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
1428 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
1429 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
1430 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
1431 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
1432 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
1433 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
1434 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
1435 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
1436 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
1437 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
1438 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
1439 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
1440 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
1441 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
1442 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
1443
1444 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1445 (CVE-2016-2106)
1446 [Matt Caswell]
1447
1448 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
1449
1450 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
1451 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
1452 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
1453
1454 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
1455 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
1456 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
1457 applications are not affected.
1458
1459 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
1460 (CVE-2016-2109)
1461 [Stephen Henson]
1462
1463 *) EBCDIC overread
1464
1465 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
1466 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
1467 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
1468
1469 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1470 (CVE-2016-2176)
1471 [Matt Caswell]
1472
1473 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1474 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1475 [Todd Short]
1476
1477 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
1478 default.
1479 [Kurt Roeckx]
1480
1481 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
1482 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
1483 [Kurt Roeckx]
1484
1485 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
1486
1487 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
1488 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
1489 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
1490 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1491
1492 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
1493 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
1494 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
1495 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
1496 will need to explicitly call either of:
1497
1498 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1499 or
1500 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1501
1502 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
1503 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
1504 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
1505 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
1506 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
1507 (CVE-2016-0800)
1508 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1509
1510 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
1511
1512 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
1513 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications

1521
1522 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
1523
1524 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
1525
1526 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1527 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
1528 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
1529 is configured.
1530
1531 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1532 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1533 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1534 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1535 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1536 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1537 that of a valid user.

1540
1541 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
1542
1543 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
1544 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
1545 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
1546 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
1547 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
1548 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
1549 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
1550 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
1551 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
1552 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
1553 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
1554
1555 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
1556 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
1557 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
1558 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
1559 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.

1562 (CVE-2016-0797)
1563 [Matt Caswell]
1564
1565 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
1566
1567 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
1568 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
1569 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
1570
1571 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
1572 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
1573 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
1574 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
1575 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
1576 also occur.
1577
1578 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
1579 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
1580 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
1581 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
1582 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
1583 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
1584 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
1585 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
1586 as command line arguments.
1587
1588 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
1589 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
1590 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.

1596 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
1597
1598 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
1599 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
1600 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
1601 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
1602 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
1603
1604 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of

1617 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
1618 *) DH small subgroups
1619
1620 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
1621 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
1622 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
1623 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
1624 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
1625 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
1626 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
1627 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
1628 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
1629 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
1630
1631 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
1632 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
1633 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
1634 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
1635 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
1636
1637 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
1638 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
1639 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
1640 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
1641
1642 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
1643 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.

1653 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
1654 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

1663 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1664
1665 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1666 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1667 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1668 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1669 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1670 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1671 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1672 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1673 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1674 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1675 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1676 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

1683
1684 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1685 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1686 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
1687 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
1688 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
1689 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
1690 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client

1721 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
1722
1723 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
1724 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
1725 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
1726 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
1727 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
1728 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.

1745 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
1746 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
1747 field.
1748
1749 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
1750 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
1751 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
1752 client authentication enabled.

1760 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
1761 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
1762 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
1763 time string.
1764
1765 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
1766 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
1767 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
1768 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
1769 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
1770 callbacks.

1825 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
1826
1827 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
1828
1829 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
1830 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
1831 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
1832 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
1833 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
1834 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
1835 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
1836 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
1837
1838 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
1839 (CVE-2015-0290)
1840 [Matt Caswell]
1841
1842 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
1843
1844 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
1845 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
1846 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
1847 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
1848 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
1849 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
1850 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
1851 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
1852 server.

1858 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
1859
1860 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
1861 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
1862 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
1863 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1864 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1865 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
1866 (CVE-2015-0286)
1867 [Stephen Henson]
1868
1869 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
1870
1871 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1872 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1873 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
1874 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
1875 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1876 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1877 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.

1882
1883 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
1884
1885 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
1886 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
1887 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
1888
1889 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
1890 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
1891 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are

1900 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1901
1902 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or

1920
1921 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
1922
1923 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
1924 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
1925 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
1926 (CVE-2015-1787)
1927 [Matt Caswell]
1928
1929 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
1930
1931 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
1932 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
1933 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
1934 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
1935 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
1936 SSL_client_methodv23)
1937 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
1938 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
1939
1940 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
1941 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
1942 output may be predictable.
1943
1944 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
1945 succeed on an unpatched platform:
1946
1947 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA

1951 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
1952
1953 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
1954 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
1955 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
1956 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
1957 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
1958 sources. This scenario is considered rare.

2002 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
2003 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
2004 [Andy Polyakov]
2005
2006 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
2007 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
2008
2009 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
2010 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
2011 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
2012 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
2013 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
2014
2015 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
2016 [Andy Polyakov]
2017
2018 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
2019 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
2020 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
2021 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
2022
2023 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
2024 RSAZ.
2025 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
2026
2027 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
2028 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
2029 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
2030 for TLS encrypt.
2031
2032 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
2033 [Andy Polyakov]
2034
2035 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
2036 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
2037 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
2038 [Steve Henson]
2039
2040 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2041 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2042 [Steve Henson]
2043
2044 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2045 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2046 [Steve Henson]
2047
2048 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2049 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2050 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2051 algorithms and include tests cases.
2052 [Steve Henson]
2053
2054 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
2055 structure.
2056 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
2057
2058 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
2059 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
2060 [Steve Henson]
2061
2062 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
2063 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
2064 summary of the connection parameters.
2065 [Steve Henson]
2066
2067 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
2068 of connection parameters.
2069 [Steve Henson]
2070
2071 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
2072 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
2073
2074 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
2075 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
2076 [Steve Henson]
2077
2078 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
2079 [Steve Henson]
2080
2081 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
2082 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
2083 [Steve Henson]
2084
2085 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
2086 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
2087 [Steve Henson]
2088
2089 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
2090 certificates.
2091 [Steve Henson]
2092
2093 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
2094 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
2095 CRLs using the OCSP API.
2096 [Steve Henson]
2097
2098 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
2099 [Steve Henson]
2100
2101 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
2102 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
2103 [Steve Henson]
2104
2105 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
2106 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
2107 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
2108 tracing.
2109 [Steve Henson]
2110
2111 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
2112 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
2113 [Steve Henson]
2114
2115 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
2116 OID NID.
2117 [Steve Henson]
2118
2119 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
2120 client to OpenSSL.
2121 [Steve Henson]
2122
2123 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
2124 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
2125 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
2126 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
2127 [Steve Henson]
2128
2129 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
2130 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
2131 [Steve Henson]
2132
2133 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
2134 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
2135 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
2136 comparison.
2137 [Steve Henson]
2138
2139 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
2140 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
2141 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
2142 use the certificate.
2143 [Steve Henson]
2144
2145 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
2146 [Steve Henson]
2147
2148 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
2149 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
2150 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
2151 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
2152 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
2153 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
2154 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
2155
2156 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
2157 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
2158
2159 [Steve Henson]
2160
2161 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
2162 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
2163 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
2164 [Steve Henson]
2165
2166 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
2167 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
2168 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
2169 supported signature algorithms.
2170 [Steve Henson]
2171
2172 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
2173 [Steve Henson]
2174
2175 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
2176 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
2177 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
2178 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
2179 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
2180 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
2181 certificate and specify the whole chain.
2182 [Steve Henson]
2183
2184 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
2185 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
2186 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
2187 to have similar checks in it.
2188
2189 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
2190 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
2191 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
2192 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
2193 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
2194 [Steve Henson]
2195
2196 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
2197 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
2198 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
2199 shared signature algorithms.
2200 [Steve Henson]
2201
2202 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
2203 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
2204 to support them.
2205 [Steve Henson]
2206
2207 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
2208 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
2209 it couldn't be removed.
2210 [Steve Henson]
2211
2212 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
2213 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
2214 [Steve Henson]
2215
2216 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
2217 functions. Add manual page.
2218 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
2219
2220 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
2221 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
2222 a certificate.
2223 [Steve Henson]
2224
2225 *) Fix OCSP checking.
2226 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
2227
2228 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
2229 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
2230 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
2231 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
2232 utility) or reject.
2233 [Steve Henson]
2234
2235 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
2236 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
2237 [Steve Henson]
2238
2239 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
2240 platform support for Linux and Android.
2241 [Andy Polyakov]
2242
2243 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
2244 [Andy Polyakov]
2245
2246 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2247 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
2248 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
2249 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
2250 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
2251 [Steve Henson]
2252
2253 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
2254 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
2255 the new parameter format automatically.
2256 [Steve Henson]
2257
2258 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
2259 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
2260 [Steve Henson]
2261
2262 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
2263 [Steve Henson]
2264
2265 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
2266 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
2267 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
2268 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
2269 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
2270 [Steve Henson]
2271
2272 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
2273 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
2274 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
2275 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
2276 to set list of supported curves.
2277 [Steve Henson]
2278
2279 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
2280 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
2281 to print out received values.
2282 [Steve Henson]
2283
2284 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
2285 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
2286 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
2287 [Steve Henson]
2288
2289 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
2290 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
2291 [Steve Henson]
2292
2293 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
2294 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
2295 [Steve Henson]
2296
2297 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
2298 certificates.
2299 [Steve Henson]
2300
2301 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
2302 the certificate.
2303 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
2304 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
2305 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
2306
2307 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
2308
2309 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
2310 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
2311
2312 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
2313
2314 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
2315 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
2316 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
2317 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
2318 (CVE-2014-3571)
2319 [Steve Henson]
2320
2321 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
2322 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
2323 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
2324 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
2325 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
2326 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
2327 (CVE-2015-0206)
2328 [Matt Caswell]
2329
2330 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
2331 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
2332 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
2333 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
2334 (CVE-2014-3569)
2335 [Kurt Roeckx]
2336
2337 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
2338 ECDH ciphersuites.
2339
2340 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
2341 reporting this issue.
2342 (CVE-2014-3572)
2343 [Steve Henson]
2344
2345 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
2346 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
2347 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
2348 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
2349 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
2350 INRIA or reporting this issue.
2351 (CVE-2015-0204)
2352 [Steve Henson]
2353
2354 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
2355 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
2356 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
2357 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
2358 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
2359 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
2360 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
2361 this issue.
2362 (CVE-2015-0205)
2363 [Steve Henson]
2364
2365 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
2366 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
2367
2368 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
2369 and can vary with the CTX.
2370 [Adam Langley]
2371
2372 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
2373
2374 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
2375 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
2376 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
2377 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
2378 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
2379
2380 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
2381
2382 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
2383 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
2384
2385 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
2386
2387 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
2388 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
2389 errors for some broken certificates.
2390
2391 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
2392
2393 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
2394
2395 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
2396 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
2397
2398 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
2399 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
2400 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
2401 (negative or with leading zeroes).
2402
2403 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
2404 of the OpenSSL core team.
2405
2406 (CVE-2014-8275)
2407 [Steve Henson]
2408
2409 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
2410 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
2411 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
2412 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
2413 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
2414 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
2415 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
2416 the OpenSSL core team.
2417 (CVE-2014-3570)
2418 [Andy Polyakov]
2419
2420 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
2421 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
2422 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
2423 sanity and breaks all known clients.
2424 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
2425
2426 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
2427 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
2428 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
2429 [Emilia Käsper]
2430
2431 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
2432 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
2433 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2434 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
2435 announced in the initial ServerHello.
2436
2437 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
2438 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2439 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
2440 [Emilia Käsper]
2441
2442 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
2443
2444 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
2445
2446 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
2447 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
2448 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
2449 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
2450 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
2451 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
2452 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
2453
2454 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
2455 (CVE-2014-3513)
2456 [OpenSSL team]
2457
2458 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
2459
2460 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
2461 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
2462 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
2463 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
2464 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
2465 attack.
2466 (CVE-2014-3567)
2467 [Steve Henson]
2468
2469 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
2470
2471 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
2472 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
2473 configured to send them.
2474 (CVE-2014-3568)
2475 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
2476
2477 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
2478 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
2479 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
2480 (CVE-2014-3566)
2481 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2482
2483 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
2484
2485 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
2486 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
2487 DigestInfo structures.
2488
2489 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
2490
2491 [Steve Henson]
2492
2493 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
2494
2495 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
2496 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
2497 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
2498
2499 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
2500 Group for discovering this issue.
2501 (CVE-2014-3512)
2502 [Steve Henson]
2503
2504 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
2505 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
2506 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
2507 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
2508 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
2509
2510 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
2511 researching this issue.
2512 (CVE-2014-3511)
2513 [David Benjamin]
2514
2515 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
2516 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
2517 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
2518 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
2519
2520 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
2521 issue.
2522 (CVE-2014-3510)
2523 [Emilia Käsper]
2524
2525 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
2526 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2527 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2528 (CVE-2014-3507)
2529 [Adam Langley]
2530
2531 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
2532 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
2533 Denial of Service attack.
2534 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2535 (CVE-2014-3506)
2536 [Adam Langley]
2537
2538 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
2539 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
2540 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2541 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
2542 this issue.
2543 (CVE-2014-3505)
2544 [Adam Langley]
2545
2546 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
2547 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
2548 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
2549
2550 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
2551 issue.
2552 (CVE-2014-3509)
2553 [Gabor Tyukasz]
2554
2555 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
2556 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
2557 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
2558 Denial of Service attack.
2559
2560 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
2561 discovering and researching this issue.
2562 (CVE-2014-5139)
2563 [Steve Henson]
2564
2565 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
2566 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
2567 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
2568 output to the attacker.
2569
2570 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
2571 (CVE-2014-3508)
2572 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
2573
2574 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2575 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2576 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2577 [Bodo Moeller]
2578
2579 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
2580
2581 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
2582 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
2583 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
2584
2585 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
2586 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
2587 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
2588
2589 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
2590 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
2591 in a DoS attack.
2592
2593 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
2594 (CVE-2014-0221)
2595 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
2596
2597 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
2598 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
2599 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
2600 code on a vulnerable client or server.
2601
2602 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
2603 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
2604
2605 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
2606 are subject to a denial of service attack.
2607
2608 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
2609 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
2610 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
2611
2612 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2613 compilation flags.
2614 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2615
2616 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2617 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
2618 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2619
2620 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2621 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2622
2623 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
2624
2625 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2626 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2627 server.
2628
2629 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2630 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
2631 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2632 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2633
2634 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2635 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2636 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2637 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2638
2639 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2640 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2641 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2642
2643 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
2644
2645 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
2646 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
2647 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
2648 is at least 512 bytes long.
2649
2650 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
2651
2652 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
2653
2654 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
2655 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
2656 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
2657 (CVE-2013-4353)
2658
2659 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
2660 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
2661 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
2662 [Steve Henson]
2663
2664 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
2665 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
2666 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
2667 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
2668 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
2669 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
2670 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
2671
2672 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
2673
2674 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
2675 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
2676 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2677
2678 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
2679
2680 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
2681
2682 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
2683 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
2684 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
2685
2686 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2687 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2688 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
2689 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
2690 (CVE-2013-0169)
2691 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2692
2693 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
2694 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
2695 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
2696 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
2697 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
2698 (CVE-2012-2686)
2699 [Adam Langley]
2700
2701 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2702 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2703 [Steve Henson]
2704
2705 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2706 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2707
2708 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
2709 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
2710 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
2711 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
2712 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
2713
2714 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
2715 [Steve Henson]
2716
2717 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
2718 if renegotiating.
2719 [Steve Henson]
2720
2721 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
2722
2723 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
2724 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
2725
2726 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
2727 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
2728 (CVE-2012-2333)
2729 [Steve Henson]
2730
2731 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
2732 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
2733 [Steve Henson]
2734
2735 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
2736 approved.
2737 [Steve Henson]
2738
2739 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
2740
2741 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
2742 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
2743 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
2744 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
2745 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
2746 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
2747 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
2748 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
2749 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
2750 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
2751 [Steve Henson]
2752
2753 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
2754 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
2755 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
2756 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
2757 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
2758 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
2759 client side.
2760 [Andy Polyakov]
2761
2762 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
2763
2764 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
2765 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
2766 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
2767
2768 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
2769 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
2770 (CVE-2012-2110)
2771 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
2772
2773 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
2774 [Adam Langley]
2775
2776 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
2777 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
2778
2779 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
2780 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
2781 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
2782 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
2783 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
2784 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
2785 Most broken servers should now work.
2786 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
2787 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
2788 [Steve Henson]
2789
2790 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
2791 [Andy Polyakov]
2792
2793 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
2794
2795 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
2796 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
2797 [Steve Henson]
2798
2799 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
2800 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
2801 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
2802 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
2803 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
2804 [Steve Henson]
2805
2806 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
2807 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
2808 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
2809 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
2810 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
2811 [Steve Henson]
2812
2813 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
2814 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2815
2816 *) Add support for SCTP.
2817 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2818
2819 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2820 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2821
2822 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
2823
2824 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
2825 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
2826 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
2827 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
2828 - s390x: z196 support;
2829 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
2830
2831 [Andy Polyakov]
2832
2833 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
2834 (removal of unnecessary code)
2835 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
2836
2837 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
2838 [Eric Rescorla]
2839
2840 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
2841 [Eric Rescorla]
2842
2843 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
2844 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
2845 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
2846 by Google.
2847 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2848
2849 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
2850 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
2851 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
2852 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
2853 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
2854
2855 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
2856 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
2857 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
2858
2859 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
2860 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
2861 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
2862
2863 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
2864 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
2865 implementations).
2866 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2867
2868 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
2869 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
2870 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
2871 [Steve Henson]
2872
2873 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
2874 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
2875 particular PSS.
2876 [Steve Henson]
2877
2878 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
2879 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
2880 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
2881 [Steve Henson]
2882
2883 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
2884 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
2885 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
2886 the appropriate parameters.
2887 [Steve Henson]
2888
2889 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
2890 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
2891 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
2892 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
2893 against a number of sample certificates.
2894 [Steve Henson]
2895
2896 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
2897 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
2898
2899 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
2900 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
2901
2902 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
2903 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
2904 parameters r, s.
2905 [Steve Henson]
2906
2907 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
2908 RFC3211.
2909 [Steve Henson]
2910
2911 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
2912 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
2913 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
2914 password based CMS).
2915 [Steve Henson]
2916
2917 *) Session-handling fixes:
2918 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
2919 but also support Session Tickets.
2920 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
2921 presented a ticket with an expired session.
2922 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
2923 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
2924 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
2925 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2926
2927 *) Fix PSK session representation.
2928 [Bodo Moeller]
2929
2930 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
2931
2932 This work was sponsored by Intel.
2933 [Andy Polyakov]
2934
2935 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
2936 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
2937 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
2938 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
2939 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
2940 [Steve Henson]
2941
2942 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
2943 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
2944 [Steve Henson]
2945
2946 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
2947 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
2948 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
2949 [Steve Henson]
2950
2951 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
2952 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
2953 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
2954 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
2955 [Steve Henson]
2956
2957 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
2958 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
2959 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
2960 [Steve Henson]
2961
2962 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
2963 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
2964
2965 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
2966 [Steve Henson]
2967
2968 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
2969 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
2970 [Steve Henson]
2971
2972 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2973 [Steve Henson]
2974
2975 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
2976 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
2977 [Steve Henson]
2978
2979 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
2980 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
2981 [Steve Henson]
2982
2983 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
2984 [Steve Henson]
2985
2986 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
2987 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
2988 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
2989 [Steve Henson]
2990
2991 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2992 [Steve Henson]
2993
2994 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2995 [Steve Henson]
2996
2997 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
2998 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
2999 [Steve Henson]
3000
3001 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
3002 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
3003 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
3004 [Steve Henson]
3005
3006 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
3007 [Steve Henson]
3008
3009 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
3010 and enable MD5.
3011 [Steve Henson]
3012
3013 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
3014 FIPS modules versions.
3015 [Steve Henson]
3016
3017 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
3018 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
3019 until after the certificate request message is received.
3020 [Steve Henson]
3021
3022 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
3023 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
3024 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
3025 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
3026 [Steve Henson]
3027
3028 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
3029 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
3030 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
3031 support yet and no support for client certificates.
3032 [Steve Henson]
3033
3034 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
3035 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
3036 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
3037 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
3038 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
3039 and version checking.
3040 [Steve Henson]
3041
3042 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
3043 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
3044 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
3045 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
3046 [Steve Henson]
3047
3048 *) Add SRP support.
3049 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
3050
3051 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
3052 [Steve Henson]
3053
3054 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
3055 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
3056 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3057
3058 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
3059 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
3060 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
3061 [Steve Henson]
3062
3063 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
3064 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
3065
3066 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
3067 a few changes are required:
3068
3069 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
3070 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
3071 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
3072 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
3073 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
3074 [Steve Henson]
3075
3076 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
3077
3078 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
3079 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
3080 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
3081 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
3082 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
3083 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
3084 an MMA defence is not necessary.
3085 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
3086 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
3087 [Steve Henson]
3088
3089 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
3090 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
3091 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
3092 [Steve Henson]
3093
3094 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
3095
3096 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
3097 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
3098 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
3099 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
3100 [Antonio Martin]
3101
3102 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
3103
3104 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
3105 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
3106 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
3107 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
3108 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
3109 paper describing this attack can be found at:
3110 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
3111 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3112 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3113 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
3114 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
3115 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
3116 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
3117
3118 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
3119 (CVE-2011-4576)
3120 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3121
3122 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
3123 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
3124 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
3125 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3126
3127 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
3128 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
3129
3130 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
3131 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
3132 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
3133 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3134
3135 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3136 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3137
3138 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
3139 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3140
3141 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
3142 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3143
3144 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
3145 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
3146 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3147
3148 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
3149 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
3150 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
3151
3152 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
3153 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
3154 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
3155 the last update always remained unused).
3156 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3157
3158 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
3159 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
3160
3161 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
3162
3163 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
3164 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
3165 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
3166
3167 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
3168 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
3169 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3170
3171 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
3172 [Bodo Moeller]
3173
3174 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
3175 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
3176 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
3177 [Steve Henson]
3178
3179 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
3180 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
3181
3182 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
3183
3184 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
3185
3186 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
3187
3188 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
3189 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3190
3191 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
3192 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
3193 ambiguous.
3194 [Steve Henson]
3195
3196 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
3197
3198 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
3199 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
3200 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
3201 [Steve Henson]
3202
3203 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
3204 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
3205 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
3206 [Ben Laurie]
3207
3208 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
3209
3210 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
3211 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
3212 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
3213 [Steve Henson]
3214
3215 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
3216 a DLL.
3217 [Steve Henson]
3218
3219 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
3220
3221 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
3222 (CVE-2010-1633)
3223 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
3224
3225 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
3226
3227 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
3228 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
3229 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
3230 [Steve Henson]
3231
3232 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
3233 [Steve Henson]
3234
3235 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
3236 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
3237 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
3238
3239 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
3240 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
3241 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
3242 [Steve Henson]
3243
3244 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
3245 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
3246 [Steve Henson]
3247
3248 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
3249 some responders need this.
3250 [Steve Henson]
3251
3252 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
3253 correctly.
3254 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3255
3256 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
3257 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
3258 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
3259 [Steve Henson]
3260
3261 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
3262 [Steve Henson]
3263
3264 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
3265 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
3266 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
3267 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
3268 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
3269 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
3270 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
3271 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
3272 [Steve Henson]
3273
3274 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
3275 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
3276 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
3277 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3278
3279 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
3280 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
3281
3282 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
3283 be used on C++.
3284 [Steve Henson]
3285
3286 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
3287 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
3288 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
3289 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
3290 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
3291 attempting to work them out.
3292 [Steve Henson]
3293
3294 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
3295 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
3296 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
3297 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
3298 [Steve Henson]
3299
3300 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
3301 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
3302 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
3303 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
3304 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
3305 [Steve Henson]
3306
3307 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
3308 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
3309 you can do:
3310
3311 openssl sha256 foo
3312
3313 as well as:
3314
3315 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
3316
3317 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
3318
3319 [Steve Henson]
3320
3321 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
3322 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3323
3324 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
3325 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
3326
3327 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
3328 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
3329 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
3330 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
3331 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
3332 [Steve Henson]
3333
3334 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
3335 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
3336 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
3337 [Steve Henson]
3338
3339 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
3340 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
3341 [Steve Henson]
3342
3343 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
3344 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
3345
3346 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
3347 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
3348 [Steve Henson]
3349
3350 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
3351 [Ben Laurie]
3352
3353 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
3354 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
3355 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
3356 CONF_VALUE.
3357 [Ben Laurie]
3358
3359 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
3360 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
3361 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
3362 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
3363 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
3364 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
3365 [Steve Henson]
3366
3367 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
3368 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
3369
3370 This work was sponsored by Google.
3371 [Steve Henson]
3372
3373 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
3374 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
3375 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
3376 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
3377 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
3378 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
3379 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
3380 default.
3381
3382 This work was sponsored by Google.
3383 [Steve Henson]
3384
3385 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
3386
3387 This work was sponsored by Google.
3388 [Steve Henson]
3389
3390 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
3391 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
3392 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
3393 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
3394
3395 This work was sponsored by Google.
3396 [Steve Henson]
3397
3398 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
3399 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
3400 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
3401 CRL functionality in future.
3402
3403 This work was sponsored by Google.
3404 [Steve Henson]
3405
3406 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
3407
3408 This work was sponsored by Google.
3409 [Steve Henson]
3410
3411 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
3412 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
3413
3414 This work was sponsored by Google.
3415 [Steve Henson]
3416
3417 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
3418 and URI types are currently supported.
3419
3420 This work was sponsored by Google.
3421 [Steve Henson]
3422
3423 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
3424 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
3425 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
3426 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
3427 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
3428 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
3429 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
3430 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
3431
3432 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
3433 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
3434 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
3435
3436 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
3437 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
3438 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
3439 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
3440
3441 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
3442 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
3443 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
3444 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
3445 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
3446 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
3447 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
3448 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
3449 of &errno.)
3450 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
3451
3452 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
3453 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
3454 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
3455
3456 This work was sponsored by Google.
3457 [Steve Henson]
3458
3459 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
3460 [Ben Laurie]
3461
3462 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3463 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
3464 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
3465 [Ben Laurie]
3466
3467 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
3468 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
3469 [Nick Mathewson]
3470
3471 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3472 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
3473 [Ben Laurie]
3474
3475 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
3476 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
3477 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
3478 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
3479 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
3480 content types and variants.
3481 [Steve Henson]
3482
3483 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
3484 [Steve Henson]
3485
3486 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
3487 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
3488 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
3489 files from the associated perl scripts.
3490 [Steve Henson]
3491
3492 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
3493 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
3494 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3495
3496 *) s390x assembler pack.
3497 [Andy Polyakov]
3498
3499 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
3500 "family."
3501 [Andy Polyakov]
3502
3503 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
3504 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
3505 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
3506 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
3507 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
3508 to use. For example, specify an option
3509
3510 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
3511
3512 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
3513 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
3514 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
3515 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
3516 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
3517 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
3518
3519 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
3520 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
3521 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
3522 return non-zero for success.
3523
3524 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
3525 by using
3526
3527 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
3528 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3529
3530 where
3531
3532 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
3533 void *arg;
3534
3535 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
3536 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
3537 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
3538 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
3539 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
3540 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
3541 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
3542 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
3543 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
3544
3545 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
3546 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
3547 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
3548 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
3549 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
3550 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
3551
3552 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
3553 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
3554 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
3555 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
3556 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
3557 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
3558
3559 [Bodo Moeller]
3560
3561 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
3562 MAC.
3563
3564 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3565
3566 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3567 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3568 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3569 supported.
3570
3571 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3572 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3573 SSL_SESSION.
3574
3575 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3576 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3577 with no application modification.
3578
3579 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3580 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3581
3582 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3583 or server extensions to be examined.
3584
3585 This work was sponsored by Google.
3586 [Steve Henson]
3587
3588 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
3589 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
3590 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
3591
3592 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
3593 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
3594 ciphersuite support.
3595 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
3596
3597 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
3598 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
3599 to output in BER and PEM format.
3600 [Steve Henson]
3601
3602 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
3603 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
3604 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
3605 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
3606 -macopt options to dgst utility.
3607 [Steve Henson]
3608
3609 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
3610 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
3611 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
3612 utility.
3613 [Steve Henson]
3614
3615 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
3616 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
3617 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
3618 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
3619 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
3620 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
3621 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
3622 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
3623 enabled again.
3624
3625 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
3626 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
3627 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
3628 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
3629
3630 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
3631 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
3632 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
3633 the default order.
3634 [Bodo Moeller]
3635
3636 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
3637 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
3638 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
3639 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
3640 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
3641 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
3642 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
3643 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
3644 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
3645
3646 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
3647 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
3648 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
3649 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
3650 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
3651 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
3652 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
3653 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
3654 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
3655 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
3656 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
3657 kinds of kludges.
3658
3659 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
3660 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
3661 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
3662
3663 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
3664 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
3665 "CAMELLIA256".
3666 [Bodo Moeller]
3667
3668 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
3669 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
3670 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
3671 [Nils Larsch]
3672
3673 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
3674 it yet and it is largely untested.
3675 [Steve Henson]
3676
3677 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
3678 [Nils Larsch]
3679
3680 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
3681 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
3682 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
3683 [Steve Henson]
3684
3685 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
3686 [Andy Polyakov]
3687
3688 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
3689 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
3690 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
3691 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
3692 [Steve Henson]
3693
3694 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
3695 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
3696 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
3697 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
3698 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
3699 [Steve Henson]
3700
3701 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
3702 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
3703 [Cryptocom]
3704
3705 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
3706 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
3707 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
3708 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
3709 [Steve Henson]
3710
3711 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
3712 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
3713 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
3714 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
3715 [Steve Henson]
3716
3717 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
3718 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
3719 [Steve Henson]
3720
3721 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
3722 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
3723 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
3724 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
3725 [Steve Henson]
3726
3727 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
3728 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
3729 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
3730 [Steve Henson]
3731
3732 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
3733 utility.
3734 [Steve Henson]
3735
3736 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
3737 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
3738 [Steve Henson]
3739
3740 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
3741 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
3742 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
3743 if necessary.
3744 [Steve Henson]
3745
3746 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
3747 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
3748 to free up any added signature OIDs.
3749 [Steve Henson]
3750
3751 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
3752 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
3753 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
3754 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
3755 [Steve Henson]
3756
3757 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
3758 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
3759 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
3760 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
3761 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
3762 the array representation useful in a more general context.
3763 [Douglas Stebila]
3764
3765 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
3766 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
3767 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
3768 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
3769 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
3770
3771 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
3772 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
3773 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
3774 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
3775 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
3776 protocol).
3777
3778 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
3779 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
3780 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
3781 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
3782
3783 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
3784 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
3785 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
3786 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
3787 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
3788
3789 aECDH - ECDH cert
3790 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
3791 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
3792
3793 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
3794 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
3795
3796 [Bodo Moeller]
3797
3798 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
3799 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
3800 [Steve Henson]
3801
3802 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
3803 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
3804 [Steve Henson]
3805
3806 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
3807 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
3808 functional reference processing.
3809 [Steve Henson]
3810
3811 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
3812 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
3813 process.
3814 [Steve Henson]
3815
3816 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
3817 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
3818 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
3819 [Steve Henson]
3820
3821 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
3822 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
3823 application to support multiple signers.
3824 [Steve Henson]
3825
3826 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
3827 digest MAC.
3828 [Steve Henson]
3829
3830 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
3831 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
3832 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
3833 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
3834 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
3835 [Steve Henson]
3836
3837 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
3838 new API.
3839 [Steve Henson]
3840
3841 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
3842 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
3843 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
3844 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
3845 a no op.
3846 [Steve Henson]
3847
3848 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
3849 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
3850 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
3851 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
3852 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
3853 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
3854 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
3855 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
3856 [Steve Henson]
3857
3858 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
3859 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
3860 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
3861 between digests and public key types.
3862 [Steve Henson]
3863
3864 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
3865 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
3866 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
3867 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
3868 [Steve Henson]
3869
3870 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
3871 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
3872 key ASN1 method.
3873 [Steve Henson]
3874
3875 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
3876 [Steve Henson]
3877
3878 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
3879 pkeyutl.
3880 [Steve Henson]
3881
3882 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
3883 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
3884 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
3885 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
3886 pkey, genpkey.
3887 [Steve Henson]
3888
3889 *) BeOS support.
3890 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3891
3892 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
3893 manual pages.
3894 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3895
3896 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
3897 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
3898 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
3899 functionality for RSA.
3900 [Steve Henson]
3901
3902 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
3903 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
3904 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
3905 [Steve Henson]
3906
3907 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
3908 key API, doesn't do much yet.
3909 [Steve Henson]
3910
3911 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
3912 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
3913 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
3914 [Steve Henson]
3915
3916 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
3917 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3918 [Douglas Stebila]
3919
3920 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
3921 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
3922 [Steve Henson]
3923
3924 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
3925 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
3926 type.
3927 [Steve Henson]
3928
3929 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
3930 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
3931 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
3932 structure.
3933 [Steve Henson]
3934
3935 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
3936 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
3937 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
3938 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
3939 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
3940 of public and private key structures.
3941 [Steve Henson]
3942
3943 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
3944 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3945 [Douglas Stebila]
3946
3947 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
3948 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
3949 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
3950
3951 New ciphersuites:
3952 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
3953 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
3954
3955 New functions:
3956 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
3957 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
3958 SSL_get_psk_identity
3959 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
3960
3961 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
3962
3963 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
3964 and response verification functionality.
3965 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
3966
3967 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3968 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3969 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3970 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3971 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3972 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3973 server_name extension.
3974
3975 New functions (subject to change):
3976
3977 SSL_get_servername()
3978 SSL_get_servername_type()
3979 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
3980
3981 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3982
3983 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3984 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3985 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3986 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3987 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3988
3989 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3990
3991 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3992 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3993 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3994 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3995 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
3996 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3997 option.
3998
3999 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
4000
4001 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
4002 [Andy Polyakov]
4003
4004 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
4005 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
4006 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
4007 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
4008 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
4009 [Andy Polyakov]
4010
4011 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
4012 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
4013 macro.
4014 [Bodo Moeller]
4015
4016 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
4017 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
4018 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
4019 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
4020 [Andy Polyakov]
4021
4022 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
4023 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
4024 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
4025 using the maximum available value.
4026 [Steve Henson]
4027
4028 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
4029 in addition to the text details.
4030 [Bodo Moeller]
4031
4032 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
4033 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
4034 handle several customised structures at all.
4035 [Steve Henson]
4036
4037 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
4038 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
4039 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
4040 [Steve Henson]
4041
4042 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
4043 [Steve Henson]
4044
4045 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
4046 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
4047 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
4048 [Steve Henson]
4049
4050 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
4051 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
4052 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
4053 [Nils Larsch]
4054
4055 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
4056 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
4057 all fields.
4058 [Steve Henson]
4059
4060 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
4061 [Steve Henson]
4062
4063 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
4064 [NTT]
4065
4066 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
4067
4068 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
4069 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
4070 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
4071 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
4072 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
4073 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
4074 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
4075 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
4076
4077 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
4078 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
4079 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
4080
4081 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
4082
4083 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
4084 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
4085
4086 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
4087 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
4088 [Bodo Moeller]
4089
4090 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
4091 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
4092 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
4093 [Steve Henson]
4094
4095 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
4096 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
4097 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
4098 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
4099 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
4100 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
4101 [Steve Henson]
4102
4103 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
4104 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
4105 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
4106 [Steve Henson]
4107
4108 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
4109 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
4110 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
4111 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
4112 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
4113 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
4114 CVE-2009-4355.
4115 [Steve Henson]
4116
4117 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
4118 change when encrypting or decrypting.
4119 [Bodo Moeller]
4120
4121 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
4122 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
4123 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
4124 [Steve Henson]
4125
4126 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
4127 [Steve Henson]
4128
4129 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
4130 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
4131 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
4132 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
4133 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
4134 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
4135 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
4136 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
4137 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
4138 [Steve Henson]
4139
4140 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
4141 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
4142 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
4143 [Steve Henson]
4144
4145 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
4146 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
4147 [Steve Henson]
4148
4149 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
4150 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
4151 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
4152 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
4153 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
4154 know what you are doing.
4155 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
4156
4157 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
4158 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
4159 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
4160 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
4161 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
4162 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
4163 the handshake.
4164 [Steve Henson]
4165
4166 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
4167 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
4168 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
4169 correctly.
4170 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4171
4172 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
4173 warnings in other configurations.
4174 [Steve Henson]
4175
4176 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
4177 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
4178 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
4179 systems need.
4180 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
4181
4182 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
4183 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
4184 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
4185
4186 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
4187 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
4188 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
4189 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
4190 [Steve Henson]
4191
4192 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
4193 and restored.
4194 [Steve Henson]
4195
4196 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
4197 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
4198 clash.
4199 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4200
4201 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
4202 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
4203 other than a simple chain.
4204 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
4205
4206 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
4207 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
4208 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
4209 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
4210 [Steve Henson]
4211
4212 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
4213 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
4214 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
4215 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
4216 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
4217 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
4218 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
4219 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
4220 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4221
4222 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
4223 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
4224 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
4225 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
4226 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
4227 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
4228 (CVE-2009-1377)
4229 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4230
4231 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
4232 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
4233 [Daniel Mentz]
4234
4235 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
4236 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
4237
4238 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
4239 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
4240
4241 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
4242
4243 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
4244 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
4245 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
4246 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
4247 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
4248 you're doing.
4249 [Ben Laurie]
4250
4251 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
4252
4253 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
4254 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
4255 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
4256 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
4257
4258 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
4259 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
4260 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
4261 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4262
4263 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
4264 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
4265 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
4266 [Steve Henson]
4267
4268 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
4269 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
4270 level.
4271 [Steve Henson]
4272
4273 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
4274 to handle some structures.
4275 [Steve Henson]
4276
4277 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
4278 for a '\n'
4279 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
4280
4281 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
4282 [Matthieu Herrb]
4283
4284 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
4285 [Steve Henson]
4286
4287 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
4288 [Steve Henson]
4289
4290 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
4291 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
4292 chosen compiler.
4293 [Ben Laurie]
4294
4295 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
4296
4297 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
4298 (CVE-2008-5077).
4299 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
4300
4301 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
4302 [Ben Laurie]
4303
4304 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
4305 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
4306 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
4307 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
4308
4309 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
4310 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
4311
4312 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
4313 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
4314 [Bodo Moeller]
4315
4316 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
4317 s_client and s_server.
4318 [Ben Laurie]
4319
4320 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
4321 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4322
4323 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
4324 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
4325
4326 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
4327 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
4328 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
4329 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
4330 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
4331 [Bodo Moeller]
4332
4333 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
4334
4335 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
4336 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
4337 [PR #1679]
4338
4339 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
4340 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
4341 [Nagendra Modadugu]
4342
4343 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
4344 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
4345 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
4346 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
4347
4348 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
4349 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
4350
4351 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
4352
4353 *) Various precautionary measures:
4354
4355 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
4356
4357 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
4358 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
4359 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
4360
4361 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
4362 outside the expected range.
4363
4364 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
4365 builds.
4366
4367 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
4368
4369 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
4370 the load fails. Useful for distros.
4371 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
4372
4373 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
4374 [Steve Henson]
4375
4376 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
4377 [Huang Ying]
4378
4379 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
4380
4381 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4382 [Steve Henson]
4383
4384 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
4385 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
4386 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
4387
4388 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4389 [Steve Henson]
4390
4391 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
4392 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
4393 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
4394 files.
4395 [Steve Henson]
4396
4397 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
4398
4399 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
4400 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
4401 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
4402 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
4403
4404 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
4405 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
4406 [Joe Orton]
4407
4408 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
4409
4410 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
4411 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
4412 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
4413
4414 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
4415
4416 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
4417 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
4418 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
4419 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
4420 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4421
4422 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
4423 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
4424 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
4425 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
4426 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
4427 invalid read after the end of 'db').
4428 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4429
4430 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
4431
4432 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
4433 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
4434 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
4435 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
4436 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
4437
4438 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
4439 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
4440
4441 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
4442 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
4443 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
4444 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
4445 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
4446
4447 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
4448
4449 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
4450 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
4451 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
4452 sets may exist with different names.
4453 [Steve Henson]
4454
4455 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
4456 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
4457 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
4458 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
4459 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
4460 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
4461 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
4462 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
4463 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
4464 implementation.
4465 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
4466
4467 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
4468 implementation in the following ways:
4469
4470 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
4471 hard coded.
4472
4473 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
4474 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
4475 ignored for embedded content.
4476
4477 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
4478 with the enable-cms configuration option.
4479 [Steve Henson]
4480
4481 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
4482 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
4483 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
4484 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
4485
4486 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
4487 uncompresses any data passed through it.
4488 [Steve Henson]
4489
4490 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
4491 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
4492 [Steve Henson]
4493
4494 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
4495 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
4496 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
4497 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
4498 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
4499 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
4500 data.
4501 [Steve Henson]
4502
4503 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
4504 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
4505 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4506
4507 *) Netware support:
4508
4509 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
4510 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
4511 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
4512 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
4513 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
4514 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
4515 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
4516 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
4517 platform
4518 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
4519 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
4520 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
4521 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
4522 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
4523 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
4524 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
4525
4526 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
4527 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
4528 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
4529 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
4530 to s_client and s_server.
4531 [Steve Henson]
4532
4533 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
4534
4535 *) Fix various bugs:
4536 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
4537 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
4538 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
4539 + Fix ia64 assembler code
4540 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
4541
4542 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
4543
4544 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
4545 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
4546 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
4547 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
4548 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
4549 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
4550 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
4551 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
4552 [Andy Polyakov]
4553
4554 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
4555 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
4556 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
4557 Steve Henson]
4558
4559 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4560 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4561 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4562 supported.
4563
4564 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4565 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4566 SSL_SESSION.
4567
4568 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4569 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4570 with no application modification.
4571
4572 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4573 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4574
4575 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4576 or server extensions to be examined.
4577
4578 This work was sponsored by Google.
4579 [Steve Henson]
4580
4581 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4582 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4583 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4584 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4585 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4586 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4587 server_name extension.
4588
4589 New functions (subject to change):
4590
4591 SSL_get_servername()
4592 SSL_get_servername_type()
4593 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4594
4595 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4596
4597 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4598 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4599 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4600 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4601 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4602
4603 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4604
4605 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4606 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4607 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4608 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4609 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4610 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4611 option.
4612
4613 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
4614
4615 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
4616 [Steve Henson]
4617
4618 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
4619 [Andy Polyakov]
4620
4621 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
4622 (which previously caused an internal error).
4623 [Bodo Moeller]
4624
4625 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
4626 [Ben Laurie]
4627
4628 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
4629 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
4630
4631 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
4632 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
4633 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
4634
4635 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
4636 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
4637 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
4638 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
4639
4640 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4641 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4642 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
4643 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
4644
4645 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
4646 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
4647 information. For detailed background information, see
4648 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
4649 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
4650 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
4651 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
4652 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
4653 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
4654 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
4655 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
4656 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
4657 remove a conditional branch.
4658
4659 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
4660 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
4661 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
4662 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
4663 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
4664 remains as a deprecated alias.
4665
4666 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
4667 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
4668 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
4669 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
4670
4671 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
4672 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
4673 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
4674 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
4675 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
4676 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
4677 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
4678 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
4679
4680 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
4681
4682 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
4683 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
4684 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
4685 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
4686 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
4687 with applications using a single external cache for quite
4688 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
4689 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
4690 in a different context.
4691 [Bodo Moeller]
4692
4693 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4694 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4695 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4696 [Bodo Moeller]
4697
4698 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
4699 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
4700 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
4701
4702 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
4703
4704 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
4705 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
4706 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4707 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
4708 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
4709 [Victor Duchovni]
4710
4711 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
4712 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
4713 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
4714 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
4715 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
4716 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
4717 [Bodo Moeller]
4718
4719 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4720 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4721 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4722 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4723 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4724 [Bodo Moeller]
4725
4726 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
4727 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
4728
4729 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4730 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4731 Improve header file function name parsing.
4732 [Steve Henson]
4733
4734 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
4735 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
4736 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
4737
4738 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
4739
4740 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4741 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4742 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4743
4744 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4745 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4746
4747 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4748 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4749
4750 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4751 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4752 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4753
4754 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
4755 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
4756 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
4757 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
4758 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
4759 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
4760 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
4761 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
4762 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
4763
4764 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
4765 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
4766 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
4767 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
4768 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
4769
4770 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
4771 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
4772 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
4773 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
4774 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
4775 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
4776 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
4777 multiple values to extend the available space.
4778
4779 [Bodo Moeller]
4780
4781 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
4782
4783 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4784 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4785
4786 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
4787 [Ben Laurie]
4788
4789 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4790 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4791 undesirable limitations.
4792 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4793
4794 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
4795 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
4796 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
4797 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
4798 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
4799 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
4800 to avoid potential handshake problems.
4801 [Bodo Moeller]
4802
4803 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4804
4805 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4806 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4807 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4808
4809 The latter two were purportedly from
4810 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4811 appear there.
4812
4813 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
4814 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4815 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4816 [Bodo Moeller]
4817
4818 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
4819 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4820 [Bodo Moeller]
4821
4822 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
4823 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
4824 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
4825 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
4826
4827 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4828 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4829 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
4830 [NTT]
4831
4832 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
4833 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
4834 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
4835 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
4836 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
4837 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
4838 [Steve Henson]
4839
4840 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
4841
4842 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
4843 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
4844 [Steve Henson]
4845
4846 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
4847 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
4848
4849 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4850 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
4851 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
4852 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
4853 [Douglas Stebila]
4854
4855 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
4856 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
4857 [Steve Henson]
4858
4859 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
4860 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
4861 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
4862 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
4863 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
4864 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
4865 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
4866 can't be loaded.
4867 [Steve Henson]
4868
4869 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
4870 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
4871 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
4872 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
4873 [Steve Henson]
4874
4875 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
4876 under VC++ build system.
4877 [Steve Henson]
4878
4879 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
4880 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
4881 [Richard Levitte]
4882
4883 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
4884
4885 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4886 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4887 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4888 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4889 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4890
4891 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4892 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4893 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4894
4895 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
4896 [Steve Henson]
4897
4898 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
4899 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4900 [Nils Larsch]
4901
4902 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
4903 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
4904
4905 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
4906 [Nick Mathewson]
4907
4908 *) Extended Windows CE support.
4909 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
4910
4911 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
4912 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4913 [Steve Henson]
4914
4915 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
4916 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
4917 smime utility.
4918 [Steve Henson]
4919
4920 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
4921
4922 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4923 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
4924
4925 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
4926 [Richard Levitte]
4927
4928 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
4929 key into the same file any more.
4930 [Richard Levitte]
4931
4932 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
4933 [Andy Polyakov]
4934
4935 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
4936 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
4937
4938 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
4939 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
4940 [Richard Levitte]
4941
4942 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
4943 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
4944 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
4945 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
4946 this only applies when building 'shared'.
4947 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
4948
4949 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
4950 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
4951 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
4952 [Steve Henson]
4953
4954 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
4955 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
4956 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
4957 - add new function for parameter creation
4958 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
4959 BN_BLINDING parameters
4960 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
4961 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
4962 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
4963 threads.
4964 [Nils Larsch]
4965
4966 *) Add support for DTLS.
4967 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
4968
4969 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
4970 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
4971 [Walter Goulet]
4972
4973 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
4974 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
4975 [Nils Larsch]
4976
4977 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
4978 the apps/openssl applications.
4979 [Nils Larsch]
4980
4981 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
4982 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
4983 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
4984 [Ben Laurie]
4985
4986 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
4987 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
4988
4989 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
4990 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
4991
4992 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
4993 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
4994 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
4995 avoid this algorithm.)
4996
4997 [Bodo Moeller]
4998
4999 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
5000 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
5001 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
5002 [Richard Levitte]
5003
5004 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
5005 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
5006 [Andy Polyakov]
5007
5008 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
5009 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
5010 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
5011 pod file:
5012
5013 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
5014
5015 The blank line is mandatory.
5016
5017 [Steve Henson]
5018
5019 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
5020 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
5021 sources.
5022 [Steve Henson]
5023
5024 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
5025 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
5026
5027 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
5028 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
5029 to support policy checking and print out.
5030 [Steve Henson]
5031
5032 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
5033 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
5034 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
5035 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
5036
5037 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
5038 [Geoff Thorpe]
5039
5040 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
5041 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
5042
5043 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
5044 implementation contributed by IBM.
5045 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
5046
5047 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
5048 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
5049 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
5050 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
5051
5052 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
5053 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
5054
5055 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
5056 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
5057 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
5058 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
5059 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
5060 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
5061 [Steve Henson]
5062
5063 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
5064 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
5065 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
5066 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
5067 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
5068 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
5069 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
5070 [Geoff Thorpe]
5071
5072 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
5073 [Steve Henson]
5074
5075 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
5076 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
5077 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
5078 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
5079 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
5080 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
5081 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
5082 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
5083 [Steve Henson]
5084
5085 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
5086 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
5087 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
5088 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
5089 [Steve Henson]
5090
5091 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
5092 syntax:
5093
5094 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
5095 [Steve Henson]
5096
5097 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
5098 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
5099 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
5100 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
5101 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
5102 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
5103 BN_CTX's "bundling".
5104 [Geoff Thorpe]
5105
5106 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
5107 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
5108 [Geoff Thorpe]
5109
5110 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
5111 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
5112 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
5113 [Steve Henson]
5114
5115 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
5116 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
5117 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
5118 below).
5119 [Geoff Thorpe]
5120
5121 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
5122 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
5123 [Richard Levitte]
5124
5125 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
5126 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
5127 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
5128 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
5129 [Geoff Thorpe]
5130
5131 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
5132 initialised value as BN_new().
5133 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
5134
5135 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
5136 [Steve Henson]
5137
5138 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
5139 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
5140 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
5141 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
5142 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
5143 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
5144 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
5145 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
5146 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
5147 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
5148 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
5149 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
5150 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
5151 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
5152 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
5153
5154 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
5155 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
5156 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
5157 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
5158 [Geoff Thorpe]
5159
5160 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
5161 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
5162 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
5163 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
5164 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
5165 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
5166 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
5167 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
5168 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
5169 [Geoff Thorpe]
5170
5171 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
5172 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
5173 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
5174 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
5175 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
5176 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
5177 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
5178 [Geoff Thorpe]
5179
5180 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
5181 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
5182 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
5183 these have been updated also.
5184 [Geoff Thorpe]
5185
5186 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
5187 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
5188 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
5189 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
5190 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
5191 functions.
5192 [Steve Henson]
5193
5194 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
5195 structure of type "other".
5196 [Steve Henson]
5197
5198 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
5199 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
5200 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
5201 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
5202 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
5203 situation in the script.
5204 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5205
5206 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5207 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
5208 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
5209 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
5210 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
5211 used as premaster secret.
5212 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5213
5214 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
5215 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
5216 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5217
5218 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
5219 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
5220
5221 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
5222 control of the error stack.
5223 [Richard Levitte]
5224
5225 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
5226 [Richard Levitte]
5227
5228 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
5229 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
5230 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
5231 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
5232 [Richard Levitte]
5233
5234 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
5235 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
5236 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
5237 [Richard Levitte]
5238
5239 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
5240 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
5241 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
5242 a memory area.
5243 [Richard Levitte]
5244
5245 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
5246 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
5247 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
5248 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
5249 [Richard Levitte]
5250
5251 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
5252 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
5253 the following flags are defined:
5254
5255 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
5256 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5257 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
5258 number.
5259
5260 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
5261 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5262 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
5263 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
5264 returns zero.
5265 [Richard Levitte]
5266
5267 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
5268 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
5269 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
5270 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
5271 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
5272 [Richard Levitte]
5273
5274 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
5275 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
5276 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
5277 [Richard Levitte]
5278
5279 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5280 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5281 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5282 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5283 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5284 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5285 [Richard Levitte]
5286
5287 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
5288 req and dirName.
5289 [Steve Henson]
5290
5291 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
5292 [Steve Henson]
5293
5294 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
5295 [Steve Henson]
5296
5297 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
5298 [Steve Henson]
5299
5300 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
5301 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
5302 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
5303 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
5304 default implementation more easily.
5305 [Geoff Thorpe]
5306
5307 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
5308 in config files.
5309 [Steve Henson]
5310
5311 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
5312 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
5313 [Richard Levitte]
5314
5315 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
5316 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
5317 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
5318 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
5319
5320 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
5321 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
5322 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
5323 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
5324 [Steve Henson]
5325
5326 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
5327 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
5328 to do it.
5329 [Richard Levitte]
5330
5331 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
5332 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
5333 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
5334 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
5335 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
5336 scalar * generator).
5337 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
5338
5339 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
5340 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
5341 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
5342 correctly.
5343 [Steve Henson]
5344
5345 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
5346 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
5347 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
5348 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
5349 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
5350 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
5351 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
5352 linker additions, eg;
5353 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
5354 [Geoff Thorpe]
5355
5356 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
5357 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
5358 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
5359 [Geoff Thorpe]
5360
5361 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5362 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5363 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
5364 via PR#459)
5365 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5366
5367 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
5368 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
5369 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
5370 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
5371 [Geoff Thorpe]
5372
5373 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
5374 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
5375 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
5376 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
5377 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
5378 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
5379 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
5380 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
5381 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
5382 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
5383
5384 Example for using the new callback interface:
5385
5386 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
5387 void *my_arg = ...;
5388 BN_GENCB my_cb;
5389

5393 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
5394 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
5395 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.

5397 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
5398 */
5399
5400 [Geoff Thorpe]
5401
5402 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
5403 available to TLS with the number defined in
5404 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
5405 [Richard Levitte]
5406
5407 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
5408 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
5409
5410 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
5411 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5412 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5413 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
5414
5415 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
5416 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
5417
5418 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
5419 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
5420 well.
5421 [Richard Levitte]
5422
5423 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
5424 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
5425 [Richard Levitte]
5426
5427 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
5428 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
5429 and a macro that behave like
5430 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
5431
5432 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
5433 [Nils Larsch]
5434
5435 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
5436 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
5437 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
5438 if applicable.
5439 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5440
5441 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
5442 [Bodo Moeller]
5443
5444 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
5445 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
5446 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
5447 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
5448 directory engines/.
5449 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
5450 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
5451 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
5452 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
5453 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
5454 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
5455 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
5456 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
5457
5458 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
5459 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
5460 [Richard Levitte]
5461
5462 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
5463 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
5464
5465 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
5466 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
5467 files while avoiding the low level API.
5468
5469 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
5470 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
5471 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
5472 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
5473
5474 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
5475 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
5476 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
5477 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
5478 instead of the low level API.
5479 [Steve Henson]
5480
5481 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
5482 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
5483 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
5484 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
5485 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
5486 PKCS#7 code.
5487
5488 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
5489 down to the template encoder.
5490 [Steve Henson]
5491
5492 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
5493 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
5494 [Bodo Moeller]
5495
5496 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
5497 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
5498 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
5499 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5500
5501 *) Add ECDH engine support.
5502 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5503
5504 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
5505 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5506
5507 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
5508 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
5509 [Bodo Moeller]
5510
5511 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
5512 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
5513 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
5514 [Bodo Moeller]
5515
5516 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
5517 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
5518
5519 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5520 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5521
5522 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
5523 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
5524 New EC_METHOD:
5525
5526 EC_GF2m_simple_method
5527
5528 New API functions:
5529
5530 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
5531 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
5532 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
5533 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5534 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5535 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
5536
5537 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
5538 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
5539 enable it).
5540
5541 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
5542 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
5543 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
5544 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
5545 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
5546 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
5547 various internal method names.)
5548
5549 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
5550 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
5551
5552 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5553 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5554
5555 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
5556 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
5557
5558 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
5559 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
5560 methods are undefined.
5561
5562 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5563 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5564
5565 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
5566 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
5567 length of the modulus.
5568
5569 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5570 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5571
5572 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
5573 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
5574
5575 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5576 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5577
5578 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
5579 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
5580 used) in the following functions [macros]:
5581
5582 BN_GF2m_add
5583 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
5584 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
5585 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
5586 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
5587 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
5588 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
5589 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
5590 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
5591 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
5592
5593 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
5594 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
5595
5596 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
5597 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
5598 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
5599 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
5600 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
5601 where
5602 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
5603 This applies to the following functions:
5604
5605 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
5606 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
5607 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
5608 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
5609 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
5610 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
5611 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
5612 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
5613 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5614 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5615
5616 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
5617
5618 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5619 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5620
5621 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
5622
5623 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
5624 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
5625 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
5626 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
5627 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
5628
5629 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5630 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5631
5632 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
5633 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
5634 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
5635
5636 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
5637 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
5638
5639 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
5640 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
5641 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
5642 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
5643 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5644
5645 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
5646 functions
5647 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
5648 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
5649 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
5650 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
5651 These control ASN1 encoding details:
5652 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
5653 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
5654 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
5655 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
5656 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
5657 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
5658 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
5659
5660 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
5661 functions
5662 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
5663 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
5664 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
5665 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
5666 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5667
5668 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
5669 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
5670 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
5671 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5672
5673 *) Add functions
5674 EC_POINT_point2bn()
5675 EC_POINT_bn2point()
5676 EC_POINT_point2hex()
5677 EC_POINT_hex2point()
5678 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
5679 EC_POINT_oct2point().
5680 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5681
5682 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
5683 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
5684 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
5685 EC_GROUP_get_order()
5686 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
5687 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
5688 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
5689 adding different types of curves.
5690 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
5691
5692 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
5693 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
5694 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
5695 [Bodo Moeller]
5696
5697 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
5698 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
5699
5700 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
5701 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
5702 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
5703 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5704
5705 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
5706
5707 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
5708 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
5709
5710 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
5711 library. Most notably,
5712 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
5713 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
5714 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
5715 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
5716 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
5717 extracted before the specific public key;
5718 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
5719 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5720
5721 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
5722 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
5723 function
5724 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
5725 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
5726 EC_get_builtin_curves().
5727 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
5728 accessed via
5729 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
5730 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
5731 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
5732
5733 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5734 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5735 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5736 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5737 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5738 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5739 differing sizes.
5740 [Richard Levitte]
5741
5742 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
5743
5744 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
5745 sensitive data.
5746 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
5747
5748 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5749 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5750 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5751 [Bodo Moeller]
5752
5753 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
5754 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5755 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
5756 [Victor Duchovni]
5757
5758 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
5759 [Steve Henson]
5760
5761 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
5762 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
5763 [Steve Henson]
5764
5765 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
5766 run algorithm test programs.
5767 [Steve Henson]
5768
5769 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
5770 [Steve Henson]
5771
5772 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5773 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5774 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5775 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5776 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5777 [Bodo Moeller]
5778
5779 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5780 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5781 [Steve Henson]
5782
5783 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
5784
5785 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5786 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5787 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5788
5789 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5790 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5791
5792 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5793 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5794
5795 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5796 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5797 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5798
5799 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
5800 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
5801 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
5802 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
5803 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
5804 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
5805 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
5806 [Bodo Moeller]
5807
5808 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
5809
5810 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5811 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5812
5813 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5814 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5815 undesirable limitations.
5816 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5817
5818 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5819
5820 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5821 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5822 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5823
5824 The latter two were purportedly from
5825 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5826 appear there.
5827
5828 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
5829 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5830 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5831 [Bodo Moeller]
5832
5833 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5834 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5835 [Bodo Moeller]
5836
5837 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
5838
5839 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
5840 module in FIPS mode.
5841 [Steve Henson]
5842
5843 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
5844 [Steve Henson]
5845
5846 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
5847 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
5848 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
5849 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
5850 [Steve Henson]
5851
5852 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
5853
5854 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
5855 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
5856 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
5857 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
5858 the difference induced by this change.
5859 [Andy Polyakov]
5860
5861 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
5862
5863 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5864 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5865 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5866 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5867 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5868
5869 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5870 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5871 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5872
5873 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
5874 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
5875 [Steve Henson]
5876
5877 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
5878 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
5879 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
5880 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
5881 biased k.)
5882 [Bodo Moeller]
5883
5884 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
5885 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
5886 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
5887 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
5888 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
5889
5890 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
5891 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
5892 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
5893 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
5894 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
5895 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
5896
5897 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
5898
5899 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
5900 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
5901 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
5902 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
5903 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
5904 [Bodo Moeller]
5905
5906 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
5907 clients need.
5908 [Steve Henson]
5909
5910 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
5911 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
5912 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
5913 [Steve Henson]
5914
5915 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
5916 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
5917 structures constant.
5918 [Steve Henson]
5919
5920 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
5921
5922 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5923 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5924
5925 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
5926 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
5927 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
5928 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
5929 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
5930 some needed definitions.
5931 [Steve Henson]
5932
5933 *) Undo Cygwin change.
5934 [Ulf Möller]
5935
5936 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
5937 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
5938 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
5939 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
5940 [Richard Levitte]
5941
5942 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
5943
5944 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
5945 server and client random values. Previously
5946 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
5947 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
5948
5949 This change has negligible security impact because:
5950
5951 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
5952 data.
5953
5954 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
5955 handshake.
5956
5957 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
5958 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
5959 values.
5960
5961 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
5962 to our attention.
5963
5964 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
5965
5966 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
5967 [Ulf Möller]
5968
5969 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
5970 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
5971 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
5972
5973 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
5974 [Steve Henson]
5975
5976 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
5977 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
5978 [Andy Polyakov]
5979
5980 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
5981 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
5982 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
5983
5984 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
5985 [Steve Henson]
5986
5987 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
5988 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
5989 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
5990 certificates.
5991 [Steve Henson]
5992
5993 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
5994 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
5995 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
5996 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
5997
5998 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
5999 has chosen to ignore this fault)
6000 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
6001 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
6002 been given)
6003 [Richard Levitte]
6004
6005 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
6006
6007 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
6008 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
6009 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
6010 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
6011 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
6012 [Steve Henson]
6013
6014 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
6015 [Steve Henson]
6016
6017 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
6018 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
6019
6020 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
6021 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
6022 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
6023 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
6024 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
6025 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
6026 rather than being initialized to 1.
6027 [Steve Henson]
6028
6029 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
6030
6031 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6032 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6033 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6034
6035 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
6036 (CVE-2004-0112)
6037 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6038
6039 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6040 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6041 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6042 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6043 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6044 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6045 [Richard Levitte]
6046
6047 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
6048 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
6049 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
6050 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
6051 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
6052 for these cases.
6053 [Steve Henson]
6054
6055 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
6056 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
6057 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
6058 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
6059 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
6060 [Steve Henson]
6061
6062 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
6063 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
6064 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
6065 < 0.9.7.
6066 [Steve Henson]
6067
6068 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
6069 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6070
6071 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
6072 [Steve Henson]
6073
6074 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
6075
6076 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6077
6078 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6079 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6080
6081 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
6082
6083 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6084 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6085
6086 [Steve Henson]
6087
6088 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
6089 exiting on the first error in a request.
6090 [Steve Henson]
6091
6092 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6093 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6094 specifications.
6095 [Steve Henson]
6096
6097 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6098 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6099 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6100 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6101
6102 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6103 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6104 [Richard Levitte]
6105
6106 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
6107 blocks during encryption.
6108 [Richard Levitte]
6109
6110 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
6111 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
6112 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
6113 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
6114 certain size.
6115 [Steve Henson]
6116
6117 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
6118 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
6119 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
6120 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
6121 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
6122 parser.
6123 [Steve Henson]
6124
6125 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
6126
6127 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6128 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6129 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6130 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6131 [Bodo Moeller]
6132
6133 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6134 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6135 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6136 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6137 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6138
6139 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6140 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6141 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6142 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6143 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6144 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6145 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6146 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6147 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6148 [Bodo Moeller]
6149
6150 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
6151 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
6152 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
6153 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
6154 [Geoff Thorpe]
6155
6156 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
6157 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
6158 [Ulf Moeller]
6159
6160 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
6161
6162 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6163 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
6164 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6165 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6166 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6167
6168 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6169 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6170 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6171
6172 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
6173 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
6174 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
6175 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
6176 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
6177
6178 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
6179 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
6180 used by default when no-err is given.
6181 [Richard Levitte]
6182
6183 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
6184 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
6185
6186 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
6187 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
6188 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
6189 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
6190 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
6191
6192 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
6193 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
6194 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
6195 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
6196
6197 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
6198
6199 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
6200
6201 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
6202
6203 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
6204 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
6205 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
6206 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
6207 root is omitted).
6208 [Steve Henson]
6209
6210 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
6211 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6212
6213 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
6214 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
6215 [Steve Henson]
6216
6217 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6218 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6219 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
6220 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
6221 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6222
6223 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
6224 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
6225 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
6226 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
6227 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
6228 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6229 followup to PR #377.
6230 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6231
6232 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
6233 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
6234 [Andy Polyakov]
6235
6236 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
6237 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
6238 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
6239 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
6240
6241 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
6242
6243 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
6244 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
6245
6246 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
6247 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
6248 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
6249 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
6250 client and server.
6251 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6252 PR #377.
6253 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6254
6255 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
6256 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
6257 removed entirely.
6258 [Richard Levitte]
6259
6260 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
6261 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
6262 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
6263 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
6264 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
6265 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
6266 of libcrypto.
6267 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
6268 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
6269 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
6270 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
6271 have to be made anyway).
6272 [Richard Levitte]
6273
6274 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
6275 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
6276 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
6277 [Steve Henson]
6278
6279 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
6280 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
6281 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
6282 [Richard Levitte]
6283
6284 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
6285 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
6286 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6287
6288 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
6289 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
6290 edit numbers of the version.
6291 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6292
6293 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
6294 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
6295 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
6296
6297 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
6298 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6299
6300 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6301 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6302 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6303
6304 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
6305 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6306
6307 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
6308 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6309
6310 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
6311 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6312
6313 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
6314 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6315
6316 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
6317 overflows.
6318 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6319
6320 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
6321 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
6322 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6323
6324 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
6325 representations in a platform independent manner.
6326 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6327
6328 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6329 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6330 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6331
6332 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
6333 indents.
6334 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6335
6336 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
6337 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6338
6339 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
6340 full. Fixed.
6341 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6342
6343 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
6344 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
6345 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6346
6347 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
6348 unconditionally).
6349 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6350
6351 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
6352 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6353
6354 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
6355 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6356
6357 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
6358 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6359
6360 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
6361 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6362
6363 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
6364 CBCParameter.
6365 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6366
6367 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
6368 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6369
6370 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
6371 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6372
6373 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
6374 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
6375 exploitable.
6376 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6377
6378 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
6379 the 0.9.6 release series:
6380
6381 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6382 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
6383 (CVE-2002-0657)
6384 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6385
6386 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
6387 [Richard Levitte]
6388
6389 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
6390 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
6391
6392 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
6393 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
6394
6395 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
6396 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
6397 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
6398 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
6399
6400 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
6401 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
6402 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
6403
6404 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
6405 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
6406 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
6407 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6408
6409 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
6410 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
6411 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
6412 some local tweaks:
6413
6414 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
6415 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
6416 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
6417 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6418 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6419 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
6420 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
6421 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
6422 done
6423
6424 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
6425 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
6426 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
6427 [Richard Levitte]
6428
6429 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
6430 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
6431 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
6432 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
6433 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
6434
6435 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
6436 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
6437
6438 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
6439 error in AES-CFB decryption.
6440 [Richard Levitte]
6441
6442 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
6443 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
6444 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
6445 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
6446 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
6447 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
6448 [Steve Henson]
6449
6450 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
6451 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
6452 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
6453 [Steve Henson]
6454
6455 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
6456 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
6457 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6458
6459 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
6460 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
6461 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
6462 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
6463 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
6464 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
6465 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
6466 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6467
6468 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
6469 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
6470 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
6471 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
6472 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
6473 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
6474 [Steve Henson]
6475
6476 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
6477 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
6478 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
6479 declaration has been changed from
6480 int (*cb)()
6481 into
6482 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
6483 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
6484 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
6485 has been changed into
6486 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
6487
6488 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
6489 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
6490 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
6491
6492 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
6493 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
6494
6495 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
6496 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
6497 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
6498 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
6499 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
6500 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
6501 always load it have also been added.
6502 [Steve Henson]
6503
6504 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
6505 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
6506 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6507
6508 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
6509
6510 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
6511 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
6512 because it couldn't be used for anything.
6513
6514 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
6515 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
6516 command line option can be used to specify an
6517 alternative file.
6518 [Steve Henson]
6519
6520 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
6521 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
6522 [Steve Henson]
6523
6524 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
6525 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
6526 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
6527 [Steve Henson]
6528
6529 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
6530 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6531 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
6532 to work with the new engine framework.
6533 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
6534
6535 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
6536 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6537 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
6538 to work with the new engine framework.
6539 [Richard Levitte]
6540
6541 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
6542 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
6543 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
6544
6545 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
6546 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
6547
6548 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
6549 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
6550 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
6551 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
6552 FORMAT_IISSGC.
6553 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6554
6555 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6556 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6557
6558 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
6559 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
6560
6561 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
6562 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
6563 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
6564 [Ben Laurie]
6565
6566 *) Add new functions
6567 ERR_peek_last_error
6568 ERR_peek_last_error_line
6569 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
6570 These are similar to
6571 ERR_peek_error
6572 ERR_peek_error_line
6573 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
6574 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
6575 still in the error queue.
6576 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
6577
6578 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
6579 like:
6580 default_algorithms = ALL
6581 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
6582 [Steve Henson]
6583
6584 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
6585 [Steve Henson]
6586
6587 *) New experimental application configuration code.
6588 [Steve Henson]
6589
6590 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
6591 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
6592 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
6593 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6594
6595 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
6596 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
6597
6598 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
6599 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6600
6601 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
6602 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
6603 [Bodo Moeller]
6604
6605 *) New functions/macros
6606
6607 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
6608 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
6609 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
6610 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
6611
6612 to request calling a callback function
6613
6614 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
6615 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
6616
6617 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
6618 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
6619 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
6620 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
6621 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
6622 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
6623 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
6624 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
6625 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
6626 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
6627
6628 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
6629 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
6630 [Bodo Moeller]
6631
6632 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
6633 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
6634 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
6635 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
6636 the configuration scripts.
6637
6638 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
6639 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
6640 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
6641
6642 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
6643 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6644
6645 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
6646 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
6647 when reusing an existing buffer.
6648 [Bodo Moeller]
6649
6650 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
6651 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
6652 [Steve Henson]
6653
6654 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
6655 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
6656 [Ben Laurie]
6657
6658 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
6659 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
6660 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
6661 has the same effect.
6662 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6663
6664 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
6665 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
6666 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
6667 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
6668 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
6669 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
6670 exception.
6671
6672 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
6673 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
6674 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
6675 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
6676
6677 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
6678 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
6679 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
6680 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
6681
6682 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
6683 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
6684 won't work.
6685
6686 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
6687 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
6688 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
6689 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
6690 default), and then completely removed.
6691 [Richard Levitte]
6692
6693 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
6694 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
6695 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
6696 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
6697 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
6698 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
6699 particular extension is supported.
6700 [Steve Henson]
6701
6702 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
6703 to retain compatibility with existing code.
6704 [Steve Henson]
6705
6706 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
6707 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
6708 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
6709 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
6710 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
6711 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
6712 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
6713 requires the destination to be valid.
6714
6715 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
6716 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
6717 [Steve Henson]
6718
6719 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
6720 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
6721 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
6722 [Bodo Moeller]
6723
6724 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
6725 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
6726
6727 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
6728 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
6729 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
6730 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
6731 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
6732 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
6733 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
6734 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
6735 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
6736 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
6737 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
6738 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
6739 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
6740 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
6741 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
6742 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
6743 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
6744 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
6745 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
6746 the new code.
6747 [Geoff Thorpe]
6748
6749 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
6750 [Steve Henson]
6751
6752 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
6753 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
6754 become part of libeay.num as well.
6755 [Richard Levitte]
6756
6757 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
6758 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
6759 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
6760 false once a handshake has been completed.
6761 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
6762 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
6763 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
6764 client has followed the request.)
6765 [Bodo Moeller]
6766
6767 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
6768 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
6769 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
6770 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
6771
6772 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
6773 more bits available for options that should not be part of
6774 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
6775 [Bodo Moeller]
6776
6777 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
6778 [Steve Henson]
6779
6780 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
6781 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
6782 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
6783 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6784
6785 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
6786 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6787 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6788
6789 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
6790 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
6791 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
6792 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
6793 [Geoff Thorpe]
6794
6795 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
6796 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
6797 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
6798 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
6799 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
6800 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
6801 [Geoff Thorpe]
6802
6803 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
6804 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
6805 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
6806 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
6807 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
6808 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
6809 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
6810 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
6811 [Geoff Thorpe]
6812
6813 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
6814 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
6815 [Geoff Thorpe]
6816
6817 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
6818 [Ben Laurie]
6819
6820 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
6821 md_data void pointer.
6822 [Ben Laurie]
6823
6824 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
6825 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
6826 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
6827 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
6828 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
6829 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
6830 [Ben Laurie]
6831
6832 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
6833 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
6834 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
6835 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
6836 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
6837 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
6838 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
6839 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
6840 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
6841 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
6842 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
6843 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
6844 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
6845 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
6846 rather than letting it slide.
6847
6848 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
6849 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
6850 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
6851 [Geoff Thorpe]
6852
6853 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
6854 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
6855 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
6856 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
6857 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
6858 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
6859 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
6860 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
6861 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
6862 [Geoff Thorpe]
6863
6864 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
6865 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
6866 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
6867 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
6868 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
6869
6870 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
6871 [Geoff Thorpe]
6872
6873 *) Add EVP test program.
6874 [Ben Laurie]
6875
6876 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
6877 [Ben Laurie]
6878
6879 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
6880 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
6881 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
6882 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
6883 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
6884 [Steve Henson]
6885
6886 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
6887 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
6888 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
6889 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
6890 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
6891 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
6892 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
6893
6894 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
6895 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
6896 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
6897 Usage example:
6898
6899 EVP_MD_CTX md;
6900
6901 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
6902 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
6903 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
6904 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
6905 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
6906
6907 [Ben Laurie]
6908
6909 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
6910 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
6911 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
6912 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
6913 anyway): E.g.,
6914
6915 des_key_schedule ks;
6916
6917 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
6918 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
6919
6920 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
6921 [Ben Laurie]
6922
6923 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
6924 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
6925 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
6926 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
6927 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
6928 functions prevents this.
6929 [Steve Henson]
6930
6931 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
6932 [Ben Laurie]
6933
6934 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
6935 correct _ecb suffix.
6936 [Ben Laurie]
6937
6938 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
6939 revocation information is handled using the text based index
6940 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
6941 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
6942 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
6943 [Steve Henson]
6944
6945 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
6946 [Richard Levitte]
6947
6948 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
6949 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
6950 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
6951 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
6952
6953 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
6954 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
6955
6956 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
6957 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
6958 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
6959 via Richard Levitte]
6960
6961 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
6962 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
6963 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
6964 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
6965 [Geoff Thorpe]
6966
6967 *) Speed up EVP routines.
6968 Before:
6969 encrypt
6970 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
6971 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
6972 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k
6973 des-cbc 4394.32k 5575.92k 5807.44k 5848.37k 5841.30k
6974 decrypt
6975 des-cbc 3482.66k 5069.49k 5496.39k 5614.16k 5639.28k
6976 des-cbc 3480.74k 5068.76k 5510.34k 5609.87k 5635.52k
6977 des-cbc 3483.72k 5067.62k 5504.60k 5708.01k 5724.80k
6978 After:
6979 encrypt
6980 des-cbc 4660.16k 5650.19k 5807.19k 5827.13k 5783.32k
6981 decrypt
6982 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
6983 [Ben Laurie]
6984
6985 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
6986 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
6987
6988 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
6989 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
6990 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
6991 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
6992 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
6993 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
6994 [Steve Henson]
6995
6996 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
6997 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
6998 [Richard Levitte]
6999
7000 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
7001 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
7002 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
7003 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
7004
7005 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
7006 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
7007 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
7008 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
7009 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
7010 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
7011 callback.
7012 [Richard Levitte]
7013
7014 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
7015 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
7016 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
7017 and interrupts/cancellations.
7018 [Richard Levitte]
7019
7020 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
7021 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
7022 [Steve Henson]
7023
7024 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
7025 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
7026 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
7027
7028 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
7029 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
7030 kind of callback.
7031 [Richard Levitte]
7032
7033 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
7034 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
7035 than this minimum value is recommended.
7036 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7037
7038 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
7039 that are easily reachable.
7040 [Richard Levitte]
7041
7042 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
7043 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
7044
7045 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
7046
7047 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
7048 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
7049 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
7050 needed for static libraries under Win32.
7051 [Steve Henson]
7052
7053 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
7054 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
7055 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
7056 [Steve Henson]
7057
7058 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
7059 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
7060 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
7061 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
7062 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
7063 internally such as S/MIME.
7064
7065 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
7066 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
7067 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
7068
7069 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
7070 applications.
7071 [Steve Henson]
7072
7073 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
7074 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
7075 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
7076 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
7077
7078 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7079
7080 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
7081
7082 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
7083 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
7084 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
7085 handling.
7086 [Steve Henson]
7087
7088 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
7089 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
7090 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
7091 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
7092 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
7093 a window system and the like.
7094 [Richard Levitte]
7095
7096 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
7097 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
7098 [Geoff]
7099
7100 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
7101 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
7102 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
7103 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
7104 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
7105 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
7106 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
7107 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
7108 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
7109 ENGINE structure.
7110 [Geoff]
7111
7112 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
7113 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
7114 tag cache.
7115 [Steve Henson]
7116
7117 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
7118 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
7119 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
7120 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
7121 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
7122 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
7123 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
7124 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
7125 [Geoff]
7126
7127 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
7128 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
7129 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
7130 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
7131 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
7132 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
7133 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
7134 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
7135 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
7136 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
7137 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
7138 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
7139 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
7140 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
7141 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
7142 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
7143 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
7144 [Geoff]
7145
7146 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
7147 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
7148 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
7149 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
7150 internal engine_int.h header.
7151 [Geoff]
7152
7153 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
7154 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
7155 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
7156 modify their own ones).
7157 [Geoff]
7158
7159 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
7160 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
7161 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
7162 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
7163 later on via ctrl() commands.
7164 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
7165 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
7166 structural references.
7167 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
7168 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
7169 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
7170 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
7171 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
7172 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
7173 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
7174 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
7175 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
7176 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
7177 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
7178 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
7179 [Geoff]
7180
7181 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
7182 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
7183 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
7184 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
7185 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
7186 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
7187 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
7188 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
7189 [Bodo Moeller]
7190
7191 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
7192 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
7193 [Steve Henson]
7194
7195 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
7196 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
7197 [Steve Henson]
7198
7199 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
7200 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
7201 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
7202 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
7203 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
7204 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
7205 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
7206 [Steve Henson]
7207
7208 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
7209 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
7210 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
7211 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
7212 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
7213
7214 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
7215 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
7216 generator).
7217 [Bodo Moeller]
7218
7219 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
7220
7221 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
7222 operations and provides various method functions that can also
7223 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
7224
7225 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
7226 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
7227
7228 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
7229 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
7230 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
7231
7232 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
7233 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
7234
7235 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
7236 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
7237
7238 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
7239
7240 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
7241 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
7242 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
7243 [Bodo Moeller]
7244
7245 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
7246 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
7247 [Richard Levitte]
7248
7249 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
7250 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
7251 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
7252 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
7253 is 40 of more characters long.
7254 [Steve Henson]
7255
7256 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
7257 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
7258 pointers.
7259 [Steve Henson]
7260
7261 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
7262 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
7263 [Bodo Moeller]
7264
7265 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
7266 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
7267 might.
7268 [Steve Henson]
7269
7270 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
7271
7272 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
7273 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
7274
7275 ASN1 error codes
7276 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
7277 ...
7278 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
7279 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
7280 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
7281 ...
7282 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
7283 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
7284
7285 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
7286 [Bodo Moeller]
7287
7288 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
7289 suffices.
7290 [Bodo Moeller]
7291
7292 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
7293 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
7294 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
7295 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
7296 and
7297 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
7298
7299 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
7300 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
7301
7302 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
7303 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
7304 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
7305 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
7306 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
7307 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
7308
7309 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
7310 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
7311
7312 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
7313 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7314
7315 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
7316 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
7317
7318 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
7319 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
7320 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7321 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
7322
7323 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
7324 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
7325
7326 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
7327 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
7328
7329 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
7330 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
7331 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
7332 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
7333 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
7334 [Richard Levitte]
7335
7336 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
7337 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
7338 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
7339 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
7340 [Steve Henson]
7341
7342 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
7343 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
7344 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
7345 trust settings.
7346 [Steve Henson]
7347
7348 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
7349 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
7350 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
7351 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
7352 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
7353 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
7354 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
7355 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
7356 ocsp utility.
7357 [Steve Henson]
7358
7359 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
7360 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
7361 [Steve Henson]
7362
7363 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
7364 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
7365 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
7366 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
7367 [Steve Henson]
7368
7369 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
7370 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
7371 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
7372 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
7373 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
7374 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
7375 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
7376 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
7377 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
7378 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
7379 [Steve Henson]
7380
7381 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
7382 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
7383 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
7384 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
7385 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
7386 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
7387 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
7388 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7389
7390 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
7391 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
7392 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
7393 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
7394 [Richard Levitte]
7395
7396 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
7397 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
7398 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
7399 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
7400 opensslconf.h.
7401 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
7402 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
7403 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
7404 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
7405 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
7406 what is available.
7407 [Richard Levitte]
7408
7409 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
7410 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
7411 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
7412 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
7413 auto incremented.
7414 [Steve Henson]
7415
7416 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
7417 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
7418 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
7419 [Steve Henson]
7420
7421 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
7422 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
7423 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
7424 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
7425 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
7426 [Steve Henson]
7427
7428 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
7429 [Steve Henson]
7430
7431 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
7432 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
7433 option to ocsp utility.
7434 [Steve Henson]
7435
7436 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
7437 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
7438 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
7439 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
7440 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
7441 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
7442 the request is nonce-less.
7443 [Steve Henson]
7444
7445 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
7446 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
7447 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
7448 [Bodo Moeller]
7449
7450 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
7451 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
7452 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
7453 [Steve Henson]
7454
7455 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
7456 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
7457 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
7458 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
7459 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
7460 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7461
7462 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
7463 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
7464 appear to exist.
7465 [Steve Henson]
7466
7467 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
7468 additional certificates supplied.
7469 [Steve Henson]
7470
7471 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
7472 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
7473 signature against.
7474 [Richard Levitte]
7475
7476 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
7477 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
7478 AES OIDs.
7479
7480 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
7481 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
7482 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
7483 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
7484 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
7485 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
7486 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
7487 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
7488 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
7489
7490 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
7491 request to response.
7492 [Steve Henson]
7493
7494 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
7495 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
7496 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
7497 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
7498 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
7499 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
7500 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
7501 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
7502 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
7503 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
7504 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
7505 [Steve Henson]
7506
7507 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
7508 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
7509 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
7510 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
7511 [Steve Henson]
7512
7513 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
7514 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7515
7516 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
7517 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
7518 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
7519 [Steve Henson]
7520
7521 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
7522 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
7523 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
7524 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7525 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7526
7527 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
7528 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
7529 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
7530 [Steve Henson]
7531
7532 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
7533 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
7534 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
7535 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
7536 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
7537 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
7538 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7539 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7540
7541 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
7542 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
7543 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
7544 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
7545 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
7546 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
7547 [Steve Henson]
7548
7549 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
7550 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
7551 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
7552 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
7553 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
7554 printout format cleaned up.
7555 [Steve Henson]
7556
7557 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
7558 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
7559 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
7560 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
7561 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
7562 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
7563 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
7564 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
7565 [Steve Henson]
7566
7567 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
7568 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
7569 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
7570 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
7571 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
7572 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
7573 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
7574 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
7575 [Steve Henson]
7576
7577 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
7578 extensions from a separate configuration file.
7579 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
7580 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
7581 section to use.
7582 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7583
7584 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
7585 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
7586 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
7587 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
7588 [Steve Henson]
7589
7590 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
7591 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
7592 the given serial number (according to the index file).
7593 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
7594 in the index file.
7595 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7596
7597 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
7598 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
7599 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
7600 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7601
7602 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
7603 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
7604
7605 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
7606 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
7607 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
7608 [Steve Henson]
7609
7610 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
7611 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
7612 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
7613 [Bodo Moeller]
7614
7615 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
7616 file name and line number information in additional arguments
7617 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
7618 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
7619 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
7620 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
7621 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
7622 functions are provided:
7623
7624 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
7625 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
7626 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
7627 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
7628
7629 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
7630 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
7631 extended allocation function is enabled.
7632 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
7633 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
7634 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
7635
7636 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
7637 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
7638 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
7639 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
7640 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
7641 [Geoff Thorpe]
7642
7643 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
7644 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
7645 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
7646 be queried.
7647 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
7648 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
7649 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
7650 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7651
7652 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
7653 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
7654 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
7655 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
7656 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
7657 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
7658 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
7659 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
7660 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
7661 [Richard Levitte]
7662
7663 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
7664 provide utility functions which an application needing
7665 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
7666 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
7667 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
7668
7669 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
7670 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
7671 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
7672 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
7673 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
7674 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
7675 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
7676 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
7677 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
7678
7679 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
7680 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
7681 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
7682 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
7683 [Steve Henson]
7684
7685 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
7686 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
7687 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
7688 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
7689 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
7690 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
7691 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
7692 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
7693 will be added elsewhere.
7694 [Steve Henson]
7695
7696 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
7697 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
7698 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
7699 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
7700 [Steve Henson]
7701
7702 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
7703 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
7704 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
7705 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
7706 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
7707 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
7708 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
7709 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
7710 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
7711 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
7712 to produce the required SET OF.
7713 [Steve Henson]
7714
7715 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
7716 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
7717 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
7718 [Richard Levitte]
7719
7720 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
7721 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
7722 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
7723 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
7724 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
7725 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
7726 [Steve Henson]
7727
7728 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
7729 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
7730 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
7731 [Steve Henson]
7732
7733 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
7734 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
7735 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
7736 [Richard Levitte]
7737
7738 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
7739 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
7740 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
7741 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
7742 code will still work when these eventually go away.
7743 [Steve Henson]
7744
7745 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
7746 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
7747 [Steve Henson]
7748
7749 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
7750 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
7751 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
7752 certificates and CRLs.
7753 [Steve Henson]
7754
7755 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
7756 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
7757 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
7758 [Steve Henson]
7759
7760 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
7761 entries for variables.
7762 [Steve Henson]
7763
7764 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
7765 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
7766 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
7767 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
7768 [Bodo Moeller]
7769
7770 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
7771 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
7772 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
7773 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
7774 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
7775 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
7776 [Bodo Moeller]
7777
7778 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
7779 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
7780
7781 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
7782 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
7783 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
7784 [Steve Henson]
7785
7786 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
7787 print routines.
7788 [Steve Henson]
7789
7790 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
7791 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
7792 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
7793 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
7794 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
7795 order did not reflect the encoded order.
7796 [Steve Henson]
7797
7798 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
7799 [Steve Henson]
7800
7801 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
7802 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
7803 for now but they will eventually go away.
7804 [Steve Henson]
7805
7806 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
7807 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
7808 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
7809 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
7810 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
7811 has also been converted to the new form.
7812 [Steve Henson]
7813
7814 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
7815 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
7816 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
7817 for negative moduli.
7818 [Bodo Moeller]
7819
7820 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
7821 of not touching the result's sign bit.
7822 [Bodo Moeller]
7823
7824 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
7825 set.
7826 [Bodo Moeller]
7827
7828 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
7829 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
7830 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
7831 type-specific callbacks.
7832 [Geoff Thorpe]
7833
7834 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
7835 RFC 2712.
7836 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7837 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
7838
7839 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
7840 in sections depending on the subject.
7841 [Richard Levitte]
7842
7843 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
7844 Windows.
7845 [Richard Levitte]
7846
7847 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
7848 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
7849 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
7850 be handled deterministically).
7851 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7852
7853 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
7854 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
7855 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
7856 [Bodo Moeller]
7857
7858 *) New function BN_kronecker.
7859 [Bodo Moeller]
7860
7861 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
7862 positive unless both parameters are zero.
7863 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
7864 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
7865 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
7866 [Bodo Moeller]
7867
7868 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
7869 sign of the number in question.
7870
7871 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
7872
7873 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
7874 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
7875 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
7876 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
7877 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
7878 [Bodo Moeller]
7879
7880 *) New function BN_swap.
7881 [Bodo Moeller]
7882
7883 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
7884 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
7885 results on negative inputs.
7886 [Bodo Moeller]
7887
7888 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
7889 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
7890 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
7891 [Bodo Moeller]
7892
7893 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
7894 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
7895 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
7896 and add new functions:
7897
7898 BN_nnmod
7899 BN_mod_sqr
7900 BN_mod_add
7901 BN_mod_add_quick
7902 BN_mod_sub
7903 BN_mod_sub_quick
7904 BN_mod_lshift1
7905 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
7906 BN_mod_lshift
7907 BN_mod_lshift_quick
7908
7909 These functions always generate non-negative results.
7910
7911 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
7912 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
7913
7914 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
7915 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
7916 be reduced modulo m.
7917 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7918
7919 #if 0
7920 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
7921 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
7922 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
7923
7924 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
7925 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
7926 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
7927 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
7928 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
7929 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
7930 differing sizes.
7931 [Richard Levitte]
7932 #endif
7933
7934 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
7935 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
7936 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
7937 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
7938 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
7939
7940 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
7941 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
7942 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
7943 cause any problems.
7944 [Bodo Moeller]
7945
7946 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
7947 [Richard Levitte]
7948
7949 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
7950 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
7951 [Richard Levitte]
7952
7953 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
7954 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
7955 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
7956 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
7957 time)
7958 [Richard Levitte]
7959
7960 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
7961 [Richard Levitte]
7962
7963 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
7964 [Richard Levitte]
7965
7966 *) Add the following functions:
7967
7968 ENGINE_load_cswift()
7969 ENGINE_load_chil()
7970 ENGINE_load_atalla()
7971 ENGINE_load_nuron()
7972 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
7973
7974 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
7975 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
7976 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
7977 libraries unless it's really needed.
7978
7979 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
7980 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
7981 declarations (they differed!).
7982 [Richard Levitte]
7983
7984 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
7985 [Richard Levitte]
7986
7987 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
7988 [Richard Levitte]
7989
7990 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
7991 [Bodo Moeller]
7992
7993 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
7994 identity, and test if they are actually available.
7995 [Richard Levitte]
7996
7997 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
7998 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
7999 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8000
8001 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
8002 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
8003 [Richard Levitte]
8004
8005 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
8006 [Richard Levitte]
8007
8008 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
8009 [Richard Levitte]
8010
8011 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
8012 [Ben Laurie]
8013
8014 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
8015 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
8016 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
8017
8018 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
8019 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
8020 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
8021 different shared library filenames on each system.
8022 [Geoff Thorpe]
8023
8024 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
8025 [Richard Levitte]
8026
8027 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
8028 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
8029 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
8030 of two sections.
8031 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
8032
8033 *) NCONF changes.
8034 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
8035 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
8036 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
8037 binary backward compatibility.
8038 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
8039 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
8040 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
8041 LDAP server.
8042 [Richard Levitte]
8043
8044 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
8045 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
8046 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
8047 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
8048 this case.
8049 [Steve Henson]
8050
8051 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
8052 [Ben Laurie]
8053
8054 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
8055 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
8056 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
8057 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
8058 set.
8059 [Steve Henson]
8060
8061 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
8062 [Richard Levitte]
8063
8064 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
8065
8066 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
8067 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
8068 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
8069
8070 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
8071
8072 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
8073
8074 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
8075 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
8076 [Steve Henson]
8077
8078 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
8079
8080 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
8081
8082 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
8083 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
8084
8085 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
8086 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
8087
8088 [Steve Henson]
8089
8090 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
8091 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
8092 specifications.
8093 [Steve Henson]
8094
8095 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
8096 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
8097 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
8098 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
8099
8100 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
8101 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
8102 [Richard Levitte]
8103
8104 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
8105
8106 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
8107 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
8108 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
8109 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
8110 [Bodo Moeller]
8111
8112 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
8113 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
8114 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
8115 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
8116 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8117
8118 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
8119 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
8120 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
8121 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
8122 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
8123 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
8124 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
8125 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
8126 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
8127 [Bodo Moeller]
8128
8129 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
8130
8131 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
8132 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
8133 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
8134 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
8135 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
8136
8137 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
8138 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
8139 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
8140
8141 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
8142
8143 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
8144 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
8145 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
8146 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
8147 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
8148 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
8149 [Geoff Thorpe]
8150
8151 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
8152 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
8153 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
8154 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
8155 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
8156 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8157
8158 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
8159 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
8160 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
8161
8162 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
8163 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
8164 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
8165 EVP_cleanup().
8166 [Richard Levitte]
8167
8168 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
8169 being properly terminated.
8170 [Richard Levitte]
8171
8172 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
8173 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
8174 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
8175 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
8176
8177 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
8178 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
8179 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
8180 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
8181 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
8182 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
8183 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
8184 change.
8185 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
8186
8187 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
8188 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
8189 [Bodo Moeller]
8190
8191 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
8192 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
8193 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
8194 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
8195 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
8196 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
8197 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
8198 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
8199
8200 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
8201 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
8202 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
8203 (see [openssl.org #212]).
8204 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8205
8206 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
8207 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
8208 [Steve Henson]
8209
8210 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
8211
8212 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
8213 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
8214 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
8215
8216 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
8217
8218 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
8219 and get fix the header length calculation.
8220 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
8221 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
8222 Steve Henson]
8223
8224 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
8225 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
8226 assertions could call abort()).
8227 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
8228
8229 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
8230
8231 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8232 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8233 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8234 supplied buffer.
8235 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8236
8237 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
8238 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
8239 by the selection routines (PR #130).
8240 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8241
8242 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
8243 [Nils Larsch]
8244
8245 *) New option
8246 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
8247 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
8248 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
8249
8250 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
8251 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
8252 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
8253 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
8254 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
8255 applications.
8256 [Bodo Moeller]
8257
8258 *) Changes in security patch:
8259
8260 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
8261 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
8262 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
8263 F30602-01-2-0537.
8264
8265 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8266 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8267 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8268 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
8269 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8270
8271 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
8272 happen in practice.
8273 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8274
8275 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
8276 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
8277 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
8278
8279 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
8280 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
8281 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8282
8283 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
8284 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
8285 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8286
8287 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
8288
8289 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
8290 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
8291 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
8292
8293 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
8294 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
8295
8296 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
8297 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
8298 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
8299 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
8300 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
8301 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
8302 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8303
8304 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
8305 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
8306 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
8307 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
8308 [Bodo Moeller]
8309
8310 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
8311 [Bodo Moeller]
8312
8313 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
8314 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
8315 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
8316 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
8317 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
8318 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8319
8320 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
8321 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
8322 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
8323 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
8324 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
8325 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8326
8327 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
8328 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
8329 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
8330 BN_generate_prime().)
8331
8332 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
8333 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
8334 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
8335 better.
8336 [Bodo Moeller]
8337
8338 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
8339 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
8340 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8341
8342 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
8343 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
8344 when using non-blocking I/O.
8345 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
8346
8347 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
8348 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
8349
8350 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
8351 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
8352 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8353
8354 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
8355 configuration for the versions before that.
8356 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
8357
8358 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
8359 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
8360 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
8361 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
8362 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8363
8364 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
8365 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
8366 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
8367 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8368
8369 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
8370 value is 0.
8371 [Richard Levitte]
8372
8373 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
8374 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
8375 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
8376
8377 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
8378 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
8379
8380 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
8381 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
8382 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
8383 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
8384 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
8385 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
8386 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
8387 session cache.
8388
8389 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
8390 using a local variable.
8391 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
8392
8393 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
8394 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
8395 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8396
8397 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
8398 [Richard Levitte]
8399
8400 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
8401 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
8402
8403 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
8404 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
8405 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
8406
8407 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
8408
8409 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
8410 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
8411 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
8412 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
8413 [Bodo Moeller]
8414
8415 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
8416 present.
8417 [Steve Henson]
8418
8419 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
8420 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
8421 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
8422 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
8423 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
8424
8425 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
8426 returns early because it has nothing to do.
8427 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8428
8429 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8430 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
8431 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8432
8433 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8434 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
8435 (Use engine 'keyclient')
8436 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
8437
8438 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
8439 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
8440 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
8441 modules).
8442 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
8443
8444 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8445 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
8446 from 0.9.7.
8447 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
8448
8449 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8450 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
8451 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
8452 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
8453
8454 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8455 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
8456 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
8457 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
8458
8459 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
8460 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
8461
8462 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
8463 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
8464 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
8465 [Bodo Moeller]
8466
8467 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
8468 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
8469 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
8470 become invalid.
8471 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
8472
8473 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
8474 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
8475 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
8476 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
8477 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
8478 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
8479 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
8480 [Bodo Moeller]
8481
8482 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
8483 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
8484 one of the SSL handshake functions.
8485 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
8486
8487 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
8488 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
8489 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
8490 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
8491 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
8492 the client will at least see that alert.
8493 [Bodo Moeller]
8494
8495 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
8496 correctly.
8497 [Bodo Moeller]
8498
8499 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
8500 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
8501 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8502
8503 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
8504 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
8505 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
8506 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
8507 HelloRequest.
8508
8509 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
8510 before just sending a HelloRequest.
8511 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
8512
8513 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
8514 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
8515 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
8516 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
8517 may leak via logfiles.)
8518
8519 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
8520 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
8521 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
8522 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
8523 the legal range.
8524 [Bodo Moeller]
8525
8526 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
8527 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
8528 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8529
8530 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
8531 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
8532 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
8533 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
8534 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
8535 [Bodo Moeller]
8536
8537 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
8538 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
8539
8540 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
8541 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
8542 followed by modular reduction.
8543 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
8544
8545 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
8546 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
8547 [Bodo Moeller]
8548
8549 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
8550 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
8551 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
8552 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
8553 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8554
8555 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
8556 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8557
8558 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
8559 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
8560 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8561
8562 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
8563 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
8564 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
8565 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
8566 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
8567 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
8568 automatically.
8569 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
8570
8571 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
8572 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
8573 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
8574 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
8575 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
8576
8577 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
8578 [Andy Polyakov]
8579
8580 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
8581 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
8582 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
8583 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
8584 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
8585 to allow the necessary settings.
8586 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8587
8588 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
8589 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
8590 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
8591 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
8592 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8593
8594 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
8595 dh->length and always used
8596
8597 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
8598
8599 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
8600 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
8601 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
8602 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
8603 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
8604 dh->length.
8605
8606 So switch back to
8607
8608 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
8609
8610 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
8611 otherwise.
8612 [Bodo Moeller]
8613
8614 *) In
8615
8616 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
8617 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
8618 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
8619 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
8620
8621 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
8622 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
8623 always reject numbers >= n.
8624 [Bodo Moeller]
8625
8626 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
8627 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
8628 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
8629 variable) is not atomic.
8630 [Bodo Moeller]
8631
8632 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
8633 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
8634 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
8635 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
8636
8637 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
8638 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
8639
8640 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
8641 little-endian MIPS.
8642 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
8643
8644 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
8645 [Richard Levitte]
8646
8647 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
8648
8649 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
8650 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
8651 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
8652 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
8653 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
8654 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
8655 to traverse all of 'state'.
8656
8657 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
8658 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
8659 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
8660
8661 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
8662 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
8663
8664 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
8665 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
8666 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
8667 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
8668 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
8669 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
8670 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
8671 further strengthens the PRNG.
8672 [Bodo Moeller]
8673
8674 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
8675 [Andy Polyakov]
8676
8677 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
8678 an error message in this case.
8679 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8680
8681 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
8682 [Steve Henson]
8683
8684 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
8685 positive and less than q.
8686 [Bodo Moeller]
8687
8688 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
8689 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
8690 that itself.
8691 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
8692
8693 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
8694 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
8695 [Bodo Moeller]
8696
8697 *) Fix OAEP check.
8698 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8699
8700 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
8701 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
8702 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
8703 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
8704 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
8705 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
8706 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
8707 paper.)
8708
8709 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
8710 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
8711 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
8712 detect the supposedly ignored error.
8713
8714 Both problems are now fixed.
8715 [Bodo Moeller]
8716
8717 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
8718 (previously it was 1024).
8719 [Bodo Moeller]
8720
8721 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
8722 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
8723 [Steve Henson]
8724
8725 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
8726 [Steve Henson]
8727
8728 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
8729 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
8730 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
8731 [Steve Henson]
8732
8733 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
8734 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
8735 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
8736 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
8737 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
8738 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
8739 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
8740 environment variables.
8741
8742 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
8743 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
8744 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
8745 [Bodo Moeller]
8746
8747 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
8748 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
8749 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
8750 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
8751 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
8752 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
8753 [Bodo Moeller]
8754
8755 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
8756 versions of 'test'.
8757 [Bodo Moeller]
8758
8759 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
8760
8761 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
8762 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
8763
8764 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
8765 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
8766 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
8767 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
8768 CygWin.
8769 [Richard Levitte]
8770
8771 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
8772 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
8773 amount of data available.
8774 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
8775 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8776
8777 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
8778 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
8779 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
8780 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
8781 [Bodo Moeller]
8782
8783 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
8784 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
8785 and UnixWare.
8786 [Richard Levitte]
8787
8788 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
8789 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
8790 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
8791 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
8792 [Ulf Moeller]
8793
8794 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
8795 [Andy Polyakov]
8796
8797 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
8798 [Richard Levitte]
8799
8800 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
8801 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
8802 [Steve Henson]
8803 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8804
8805 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
8806 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
8807 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
8808 (but broken) behaviour.
8809 [Steve Henson]
8810
8811 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
8812 it when found.
8813 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
8814
8815 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
8816 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
8817 [Bodo Moeller]
8818
8819 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
8820 did not exist.
8821 [Bodo Moeller]
8822
8823 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
8824 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
8825
8826 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
8827 [Richard Levitte]
8828
8829 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
8830 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
8831 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
8832
8833 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
8834 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
8835 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
8836 [Steve Henson]
8837
8838 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
8839 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
8840 [Ulf Moeller]
8841
8842 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
8843 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
8844
8845 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
8846
8847 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
8848
8849 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
8850 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
8851 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
8852 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
8853 [Bodo Moeller]
8854
8855 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
8856 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8857
8858 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
8859 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
8860 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8861
8862 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
8863 was empty.
8864 [Steve Henson]
8865 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8866
8867 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
8868 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
8869 but the code is actually correct.
8870 [Steve Henson]
8871
8872 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
8873 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
8874 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
8875 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
8876 and leaves the highest bit random.
8877 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8878
8879 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
8880 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
8881 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
8882 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
8883 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
8884 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
8885 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
8886 [Bodo Moeller]
8887
8888 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
8889 [Ulf Moeller]
8890
8891 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
8892 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
8893 [Steve Henson]
8894
8895 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
8896 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
8897 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
8898 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
8899 headers.
8900 [Richard Levitte]
8901
8902 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
8903 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
8904 and break the signature.
8905 [Steve Henson]
8906 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8907
8908 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
8909 DH ciphersuites.
8910 [Steve Henson]
8911
8912 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
8913 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
8914 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
8915 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
8916 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
8917 [Bodo Moeller]
8918
8919 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
8920 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8921
8922 *) ./config script fixes.
8923 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
8924
8925 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
8926 [Bodo Moeller]
8927
8928 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
8929 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
8930 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
8931 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
8932 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
8933
8934 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
8935 call failed, free the DSA structure.
8936 [Bodo Moeller]
8937
8938 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
8939 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
8940 [Steve Henson]
8941
8942 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
8943 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
8944 when writing a 32767 byte record.
8945 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
8946
8947 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
8948 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
8949
8950 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
8951 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
8952 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
8953 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
8954 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
8955
8956 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
8957 [Bodo Moeller]
8958
8959 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
8960 [Ulf Möller]
8961
8962 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
8963 [Ulf Möller]
8964
8965 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
8966 [Bodo Moeller]
8967
8968 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
8969 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
8970 [Bodo Moeller]
8971
8972 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
8973 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
8974 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
8975 result of the server certificate verification.)
8976 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8977
8978 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
8979 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
8980 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
8981 [Bodo Moeller]
8982
8983 *) Fix SSL_peek:
8984 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
8985 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
8986 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
8987 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
8988 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
8989 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
8990 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
8991 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
8992 [Bodo Moeller]
8993
8994 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
8995 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
8996 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
8997 happening the other way round.
8998 [Geoff Thorpe]
8999
9000 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
9001 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
9002 [Bodo Moeller]
9003
9004 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
9005 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
9006 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
9007 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
9008 [Richard Levitte]
9009
9010 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
9011 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
9012
9013 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
9014
9015 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
9016 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
9017 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
9018 that.
9019
9020 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
9021
9022 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
9023
9024 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
9025 static ones.
9026 [Richard Levitte]
9027
9028 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
9029
9030 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
9031 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
9032 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
9033 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
9034 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
9035
9036 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
9037 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
9038 matter what.
9039 [Richard Levitte]
9040
9041 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
9042 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9043
9044 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
9045
9046 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
9047 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
9048 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
9049 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
9050 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
9051 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
9052 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
9053 by the Finished messages.
9054 [Bodo Moeller]
9055
9056 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
9057 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
9058
9059 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
9060 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
9061 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
9062 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
9063 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
9064 appropriately.
9065 [Steve Henson]
9066
9067 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
9068 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
9069 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
9070 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
9071 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
9072 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
9073 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
9074 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
9075 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
9076 together.
9077 [Steve Henson]
9078
9079 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
9080 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
9081 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
9082 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
9083
9084 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
9085 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
9086 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
9087 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
9088 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
9089 the answer.
9090
9091 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
9092 been tested well enough.
9093 [Richard Levitte]
9094
9095 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
9096 it can return incorrect results.
9097 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
9098 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
9099 [Bodo Moeller]
9100
9101 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
9102 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
9103 include zero length content when signing messages.
9104 [Steve Henson]
9105
9106 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
9107 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
9108 [Bodo Möller]
9109
9110 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
9111 [Richard Levitte]
9112
9113 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
9114 wrong sign.
9115 [Ulf Möller]
9116
9117 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
9118 packages. The default package contains applications, application
9119 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
9120 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
9121 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
9122 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
9123 [Richard Levitte]
9124
9125 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
9126 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9127
9128 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
9129 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
9130
9131 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
9132 random number < q in the DSA library.
9133 [Ulf Möller]
9134
9135 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
9136 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
9137 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
9138 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
9139 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
9140 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
9141 just makes things more complicated.)
9142 [Bodo Moeller]
9143
9144 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
9145 from EGD.
9146 [Ben Laurie]
9147
9148 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
9149 work better on such systems.
9150 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9151
9152 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
9153 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
9154 keyid to the certificates aux info.
9155 [Steve Henson]
9156
9157 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
9158 if there was more than one signature.
9159 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
9160
9161 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
9162 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
9163 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
9164 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
9165 [Richard Levitte]
9166
9167 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
9168 rather than always using the current time.
9169 [Steve Henson]
9170
9171 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
9172 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
9173 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
9174 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
9175 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
9176 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
9177
9178 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
9179 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
9180
9181 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
9182
9183 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
9184 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
9185 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
9186 the same hash value.
9187
9188 As a result various functions (which were all internal
9189 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
9190 structure. This will break anything that messed round
9191 with X509_STORE internally.
9192
9193 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
9194 exact match, rather than just subject name.
9195
9196 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
9197 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
9198 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
9199 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
9200 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
9201 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
9202 entirely (maybe later...).
9203
9204 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
9205
9206 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
9207 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
9208 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
9209 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
9210 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
9211 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
9212 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
9213 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
9214
9215 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
9216 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
9217
9218 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
9219 to customise the verify behaviour.
9220 [Steve Henson]
9221
9222 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
9223 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
9224 [Steve Henson]
9225
9226 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
9227 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
9228 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
9229 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
9230 request is improperly encoded.
9231 [Steve Henson]
9232
9233 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
9234 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
9235 BIO_write(b, ...).
9236
9237 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
9238 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
9239
9240 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
9241 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
9242 words set to zero.)
9243 [Bodo Moeller]
9244
9245 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
9246 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
9247 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
9248 [Bodo Moeller]
9249
9250 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
9251 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
9252 BIO/fp routines also added.
9253 [Steve Henson]
9254
9255 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
9256 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
9257
9258 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
9259 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
9260 demos/state_machine.
9261 [Ben Laurie]
9262
9263 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
9264 generation and verification.
9265 [Steve Henson]
9266
9267 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
9268 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
9269 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
9270 encode and decode it manually.
9271 [Steve Henson]
9272
9273 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
9274 compile under VC++.
9275 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
9276
9277 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
9278 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
9279 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
9280 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
9281
9282 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
9283 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
9284 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
9285 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
9286 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
9287 [Steve Henson]
9288
9289 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
9290 [Richard Levitte]
9291
9292 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
9293 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
9294 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
9295
9296 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
9297 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
9298 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
9299 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
9300 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
9301 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
9302 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
9303 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
9304
9305 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
9306 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
9307
9308 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
9309
9310 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
9311 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
9312 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
9313
9314 [Richard Levitte]
9315
9316 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
9317 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
9318 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
9319 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
9320 [Richard Levitte]
9321
9322 *) MD4 implemented.
9323 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
9324
9325 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
9326 [Richard Levitte]
9327
9328 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
9329 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
9330 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
9331 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
9332 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
9333 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
9334 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
9335 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
9336 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
9337 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
9338 short or long names are found.
9339 [Steve Henson]
9340
9341 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
9342 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
9343
9344 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
9345 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
9346 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
9347 version rollback attacks was not effective.
9348
9349 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
9350 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
9351 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
9352 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
9353 [Bodo Moeller]
9354
9355 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
9356 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
9357 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
9358 [Richard Levitte]
9359
9360 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
9361 these print out strings and name structures based on various
9362 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
9363 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
9364 to allow the various flags to be set.
9365 [Steve Henson]
9366
9367 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
9368 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
9369 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
9370 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
9371 dates to be checked.
9372 [Steve Henson]
9373
9374 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
9375 negative public key encodings) on by default,
9376 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
9377 [Steve Henson]
9378
9379 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
9380 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
9381 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
9382 [Steve Henson]
9383
9384 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
9385 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
9386 [Bodo Moeller]
9387
9388 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
9389 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
9390 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
9391 are always statically linked for now, but there are
9392 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
9393 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
9394 [Richard Levitte]
9395
9396 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
9397 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
9398 Random Numbers.
9399 [Ulf Möller]
9400
9401 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
9402 DSA key.
9403 [Steve Henson]
9404
9405 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
9406 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
9407 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
9408 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
9409 form signing output easier to verify.
9410 [Steve Henson]
9411
9412 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
9413 [Steve Henson]
9414
9415 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
9416 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
9417 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
9418 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
9419 are needed because all other string types have virtually
9420 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
9421 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
9422 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
9423 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
9424 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
9425 [Steve Henson]
9426
9427 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
9428
9429 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
9430 the syntax given in objects.README.
9431 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
9432 obj_mac.h.
9433 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
9434 obj_mac.h.
9435
9436 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
9437 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
9438 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
9439 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
9440 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
9441 consistent name changes.
9442 [Richard Levitte]
9443
9444 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
9445 [Bodo Moeller]
9446
9447 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
9448 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
9449 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
9450 environment variable, or the default random state file.
9451 [Richard Levitte]
9452
9453 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
9454 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
9455 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
9456 of safestack.h .
9457 [Steve Henson]
9458
9459 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
9460 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
9461 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
9462 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
9463 [Steve Henson]
9464
9465 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
9466 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
9467 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
9468 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
9469 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
9470 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
9471 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
9472 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
9473 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
9474 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
9475 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
9476 [Steve Henson]
9477
9478 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
9479 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
9480 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
9481 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
9482 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
9483 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
9484 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
9485 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
9486 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
9487 algorithm to openssl-dev.
9488 [Steve Henson]
9489
9490 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
9491 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
9492 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
9493 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
9494
9495 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
9496 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
9497 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
9498 omit any duplicate addresses.
9499 [Steve Henson]
9500
9501 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
9502 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
9503 [Bodo Moeller]
9504
9505 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
9506 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
9507 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
9508 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
9509 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
9510 [Bodo Moeller]
9511
9512 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
9513 software:
9514 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
9515 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
9516 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
9517 Free => OPENSSL_free
9518 [Richard Levitte]
9519
9520 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
9521 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
9522 [Bodo Moeller]
9523
9524 *) CygWin32 support.
9525 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
9526
9527 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
9528 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
9529 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
9530 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
9531 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
9532 approach.
9533 [Geoff Thorpe]
9534
9535 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
9536 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
9537 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
9538 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
9539 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
9540 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
9541 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
9542 [Geoff Thorpe]
9543
9544 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
9545 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
9546 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
9547 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
9548 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
9549 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
9550 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
9551 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
9552 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
9553 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
9554 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
9555 [Bodo Moeller]
9556
9557 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
9558 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
9559 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
9560 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
9561 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
9562
9563 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
9564 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
9565 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
9566 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
9567 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
9568
9569 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
9570 ciphers.
9571
9572 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
9573 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
9574 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
9575 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
9576
9577 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
9578
9579 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
9580 of macros.
9581
9582 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
9583 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
9584 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
9585 flags.
9586
9587 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
9588 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
9589 any installed hardware versions can.
9590 [Steve Henson]
9591
9592 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
9593 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
9594 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
9595 number.
9596 [Bodo Moeller]
9597
9598 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
9599 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
9600 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
9601 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
9602 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
9603
9604 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
9605 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
9606 [Steve Henson]
9607
9608 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
9609 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
9610 [Richard Levitte]
9611
9612 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
9613 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
9614 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
9615 features.
9616 [Steve Henson]
9617
9618 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
9619 [Ulf Möller]
9620
9621 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
9622 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
9623 but no ssl client purpose.
9624 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
9625
9626 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
9627 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
9628 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
9629 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
9630 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
9631 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
9632 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
9633 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
9634 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
9635 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
9636 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
9637 [Steve Henson]
9638
9639 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
9640 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
9641 be obtained from the error queue.
9642 [Bodo Moeller]
9643
9644 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
9645 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
9646 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
9647 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
9648 [Bodo Moeller]
9649
9650 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
9651 [Ulf Möller]
9652
9653 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
9654 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
9655 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
9656 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
9657 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
9658 [Geoff Thorpe]
9659
9660 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
9661 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
9662 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
9663 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
9664 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
9665 [Geoff Thorpe]
9666
9667 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
9668 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
9669 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
9670 may not be NULL.
9671 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
9672
9673 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
9674 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
9675 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
9676 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
9677 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
9678 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
9679 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
9680 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
9681 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
9682 or "the configuration storage API"...
9683
9684 The new configuration file reading functions are:
9685
9686 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
9687 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
9688
9689 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
9690
9691 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
9692
9693 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
9694 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
9695 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
9696 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
9697 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
9698 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
9699 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
9700
9701 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
9702 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
9703 [Richard Levitte]
9704
9705 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
9706 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
9707 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
9708 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
9709 [Bodo Moeller]
9710
9711 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
9712 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
9713 them in a portable way.
9714 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
9715
9716 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
9717
9718 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
9719
9720 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
9721 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
9722
9723 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
9724 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
9725 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
9726 <attili@amaxo.com>]
9727
9728 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
9729 was larger than the MD block size.
9730 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
9731
9732 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
9733 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
9734 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
9735 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
9736 components.
9737 [Steve Henson]
9738
9739 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
9740 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
9741 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
9742
9743 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
9744 discouraged.
9745 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
9746
9747 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
9748 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
9749 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
9750 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
9751 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
9752 Additional arguments are always ignored.
9753
9754 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
9755 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
9756
9757 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
9758 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
9759 [Bodo Moeller]
9760
9761 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
9762 [Bodo Moeller]
9763
9764 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
9765 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
9766 its own key.
9767 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
9768 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
9769 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
9770 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
9771 [Bodo Moeller]
9772
9773 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
9774 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
9775 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
9776 does not suppress any output.
9777 [Richard Levitte]
9778
9779 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
9780 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
9781 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
9782 with all the associated security issues.
9783
9784 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
9785 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
9786 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
9787 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
9788 use the value in the default purpose.
9789 [Steve Henson]
9790
9791 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
9792 and fix a memory leak.
9793 [Steve Henson]
9794
9795 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
9796 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
9797 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
9798 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
9799 [Bodo Moeller]
9800
9801 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
9802 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
9803 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
9804 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
9805 [Bodo Moeller]
9806
9807 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
9808 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
9809 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
9810 [Bodo Moeller]
9811
9812 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
9813 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
9814 [Bodo Moeller]
9815
9816 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
9817 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
9818 which was free.
9819 [Steve Henson]
9820
9821 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
9822 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
9823 [Bodo Moeller]
9824
9825 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
9826 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
9827 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
9828 [Bodo Moeller]
9829
9830 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
9831 number generation fails.
9832 [Bodo Moeller]
9833
9834 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
9835 [Bodo Moeller]
9836
9837 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
9838 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
9839
9840 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
9841 [Ulf Möller]
9842
9843 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
9844 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
9845
9846 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
9847 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
9848
9849 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
9850
9851 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
9852 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
9853 [Steve Henson]
9854
9855 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
9856 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
9857
9858 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
9859 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
9860 [Ulf Möller]
9861
9862 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
9863 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
9864 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
9865 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
9866 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
9867 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
9868
9869 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
9870 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
9871 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
9872 for example.
9873 [Steve Henson]
9874
9875 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
9876 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
9877 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
9878 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
9879 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
9880 counter, some don't.)
9881 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
9882 counters or duplicate objects.
9883 [Steve Henson]
9884
9885 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
9886 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
9887 [Steve Henson]
9888
9889 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
9890 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
9891 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
9892
9893 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
9894 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
9895 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
9896 or -rand.
9897 [Ulf Möller]
9898
9899 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
9900 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
9901 [Steve Henson]
9902
9903 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
9904 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
9905 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
9906 cipher list.
9907 [Steve Henson]
9908
9909 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
9910 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
9911 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
9912 [Steve Henson]
9913
9914 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
9915 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
9916 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
9917 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
9918 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
9919 should work without changes.
9920 [Richard Levitte]
9921
9922 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
9923 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
9924 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
9925 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
9926 must be defined. E.g.,
9927 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
9928 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
9929 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
9930 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
9931
9932 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
9933 record layer.
9934 [Bodo Moeller]
9935
9936 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
9937 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
9938 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
9939 [Steve Henson]
9940
9941 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
9942 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
9943 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
9944 request header lines. Some software needs this.
9945 [Steve Henson]
9946
9947 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
9948 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
9949 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
9950 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
9951 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
9952 is prompted for as usual.
9953 [Steve Henson]
9954
9955 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
9956 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
9957 autodetect the card and use it if present.
9958 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
9959
9960 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
9961 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
9962 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
9963 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
9964 [Steve Henson]
9965
9966 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
9967 [Andy Polyakov]
9968
9969 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
9970 of seed file.
9971 [Steve Henson]
9972
9973 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
9974 [Bodo Moeller]
9975
9976 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
9977 [Steve Henson]
9978
9979 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
9980 bits.
9981 [Ulf Möller]
9982
9983 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
9984 [Ulf Möller]
9985
9986 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
9987 [Andy Polyakov]
9988
9989 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
9990 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
9991 [Ulf Möller]
9992
9993 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
9994 options to produce them.
9995 [Steve Henson]
9996
9997 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
9998 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
9999 [Ulf Möller]
10000
10001 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
10002 for p == 0.
10003 [Ulf Möller]
10004
10005 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
10006 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
10007 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
10008 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
10009 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
10010 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
10011 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
10012 [Steve Henson]
10013
10014 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
10015 [Steve Henson]
10016
10017 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
10018 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
10019 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
10020 [Bodo Moeller]
10021
10022 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
10023 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
10024
10025 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
10026 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
10027 [Ulf Möller]
10028
10029 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
10030 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
10031 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
10032 has already seen).
10033 [Bodo Moeller]
10034
10035 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
10036 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
10037
10038 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
10039 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
10040 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
10041 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
10042 generation becomes much faster.
10043
10044 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
10045 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
10046 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
10047 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
10048 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
10049 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
10050 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
10051 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
10052 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
10053 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
10054 [Bodo Moeller]
10055
10056 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
10057 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
10058 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
10059 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
10060 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
10061 trial division stage.
10062 [Bodo Moeller]
10063
10064 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
10065 as ASN1_TIME.
10066 [Steve Henson]
10067
10068 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
10069 [Steve Henson]
10070
10071 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
10072 [Ulf Möller]
10073
10074 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
10075 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
10076 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
10077 the comments.
10078 [Ulf Möller]
10079
10080 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
10081 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
10082 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
10083 [Bodo Moeller]
10084
10085 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
10086 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
10087 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
10088 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
10089
10090 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
10091 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
10092 [Steve Henson]
10093
10094 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
10095 [Ulf Möller]
10096
10097 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
10098 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
10099 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
10100 Rabin-Miller iterations.
10101 [Ulf Möller]
10102
10103 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
10104 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
10105 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
10106 [Ulf Möller]
10107
10108 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
10109 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
10110 (instead of parameters) in future.
10111 [Steve Henson]
10112
10113 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
10114 when a new cipher list is set.
10115 [Steve Henson]
10116
10117 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
10118 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
10119 wrong.
10120
10121 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
10122 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
10123 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
10124
10125 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
10126 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
10127 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
10128 an error is flagged.
10129
10130 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
10131 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
10132 the readability was also increased :-)
10133 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10134
10135 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
10136 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
10137 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
10138 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
10139 as the root CA.
10140 [Steve Henson]
10141
10142 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
10143 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
10144 [Steve Henson]
10145
10146 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
10147 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
10148 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
10149 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
10150 instead.
10151
10152 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
10153 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
10154 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
10155 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
10156 because they handle more complex structures.)
10157 [Steve Henson]
10158
10159 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
10160 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
10161 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
10162 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10163
10164 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
10165 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
10166 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
10167 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
10168 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
10169 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
10170 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
10171 [Ulf Möller]
10172
10173 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
10174 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
10175 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
10176 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
10177 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
10178 [Bodo Moeller]
10179
10180 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
10181 [Bodo Moeller]
10182
10183 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
10184 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
10185 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
10186 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
10187 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
10188 to use this.
10189
10190 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
10191 code.
10192 [Steve Henson]
10193
10194 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
10195 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
10196 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
10197 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
10198 [Steve Henson]
10199
10200 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
10201 [Ulf Möller]
10202
10203 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
10204 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
10205 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
10206 international characters are used.
10207
10208 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
10209 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
10210 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
10211 in ASN1 order.
10212 [Steve Henson]
10213
10214 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
10215 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
10216 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
10217 request.
10218
10219 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
10220 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
10221 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
10222 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
10223 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
10224 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
10225
10226 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
10227 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
10228 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
10229 be handled by the string table functions.
10230
10231 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
10232 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
10233 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
10234 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
10235 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
10236 types at all.
10237 [Steve Henson]
10238
10239 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
10240 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
10241 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
10242 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
10243 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
10244
10245 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
10246 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
10247 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
10248 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
10249 [Bodo Moeller]
10250
10251 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
10252 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
10253 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
10254 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
10255 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
10256 SHA1.
10257 [Andy Polyakov]
10258
10259 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
10260 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
10261 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
10262 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
10263 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
10264 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
10265 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
10266 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
10267
10268 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
10269 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
10270 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
10271 [Steve Henson]
10272
10273 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
10274 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
10275 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
10276 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
10277 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
10278 support to pkcs8 application.
10279 [Steve Henson]
10280
10281 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
10282 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
10283 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
10284 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
10285 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
10286 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
10287 [Bodo Moeller]
10288
10289 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
10290 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
10291 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
10292 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
10293 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
10294 consistency.
10295 [Bodo Moeller]
10296
10297 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
10298 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
10299 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
10300 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
10301 example.
10302 [Steve Henson]
10303
10304 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
10305 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
10306 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
10307 and any application specific purposes.
10308
10309 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
10310 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
10311 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
10312 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
10313 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
10314 if the certificate is self signed.
10315 [Steve Henson]
10316
10317 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
10318 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
10319 [Steve Henson]
10320
10321 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
10322 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
10323 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
10324 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
10325 [Steve Henson]
10326
10327 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
10328 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
10329 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
10330 Update documentation.
10331 [Steve Henson]
10332
10333 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
10334 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
10335 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
10336 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
10337 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
10338 [Steve Henson]
10339
10340 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
10341 for details.
10342 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
10343
10344 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
10345 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
10346 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
10347 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
10348 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
10349 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
10350 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
10351 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
10352 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
10353 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
10354
10355 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
10356
10357 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10358 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10359 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
10360 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
10361 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
10362
10363 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
10364 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
10365 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
10366 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
10367 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
10368 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
10369 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
10370 request additional information:
10371 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
10372 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
10373
10374 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
10375 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
10376 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
10377 options.
10378
10379 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
10380 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
10381
10382 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
10383 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
10384 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
10385
10386 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
10387 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
10388
10389 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
10390 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
10391 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
10392 algorithm.
10393 [Steve Henson]
10394
10395 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
10396 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
10397 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
10398
10399 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
10400 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
10401 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
10402 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
10403 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
10404 included in OpenSSL.
10405 [Steve Henson]
10406
10407 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
10408 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
10409 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
10410 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
10411 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
10412 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
10413 [Bodo Moeller]
10414
10415 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
10416 PKCS12 structure.
10417 [Steve Henson]
10418
10419 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
10420 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
10421 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
10422 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
10423 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
10424 structure.
10425 [Steve Henson]
10426
10427 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
10428 need initialising.
10429 [Steve Henson]
10430
10431 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
10432 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
10433 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
10434 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
10435 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
10436 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
10437 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
10438 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
10439 be maintained manually.
10440
10441 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
10442 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
10443 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
10444 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
10445 work because people forget to call this function]
10446 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
10447 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
10448 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
10449 [Steve Henson]
10450
10451 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
10452 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
10453 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
10454 should be discouraged from doing it.
10455 [Ben Laurie]
10456
10457 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
10458 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
10459 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
10460 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
10461 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
10462 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
10463 [Steve Henson]
10464
10465 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
10466 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
10467 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
10468
10469 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
10470 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
10471 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
10472
10473 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
10474 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
10475 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
10476 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
10477 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
10478 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
10479
10480 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
10481 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
10482 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
10483
10484 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
10485 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
10486 and vice versa.
10487
10488 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
10489 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
10490 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
10491 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
10492 [Steve Henson]
10493
10494 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
10495 [Steve Henson]
10496
10497 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
10498 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
10499 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
10500 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
10501 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
10502 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
10503 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
10504 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
10505 keys so we should be OK.
10506
10507 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
10508 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
10509 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
10510 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
10511 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
10512 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
10513 stay in the name of compatibility.
10514
10515 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
10516 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
10517 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
10518
10519 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
10520 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
10521 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
10522 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
10523 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
10524 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
10525 supplied key).
10526 [Steve Henson]
10527
10528 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
10529 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
10530 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
10531 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
10532 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
10533 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
10534 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
10535 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
10536 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
10537 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
10538 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
10539 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
10540 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
10541 [Steve Henson]
10542
10543 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
10544 [Steve Henson]
10545
10546 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
10547 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
10548 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
10549 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
10550 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
10551 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
10552 single self signed certificate. This means that:
10553 openssl verify ss.pem
10554 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
10555 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
10556 is OK.
10557 [Steve Henson]
10558
10559 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
10560 (and add it to external session representation).
10561 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
10562 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
10563 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
10564 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
10565 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
10566 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
10567 security holes.
10568 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
10569
10570 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
10571 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
10572 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
10573 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
10574
10575 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
10576 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
10577 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
10578 [Steve Henson]
10579
10580 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
10581 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
10582 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
10583 code.
10584 [Steve Henson]
10585
10586 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
10587 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
10588 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
10589
10590 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
10591 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
10592 certificate auxiliary information.
10593 [Steve Henson]
10594
10595 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
10596 the 'enc' command.
10597 [Steve Henson]
10598
10599 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
10600 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
10601 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
10602 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
10603 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
10604 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
10605 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
10606 [Richard Levitte]
10607
10608 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
10609 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
10610 [Steve Henson]
10611
10612 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
10613 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
10614 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
10615 manpages and fix a few bugs.
10616 [Steve Henson]
10617
10618 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
10619 [Steve Henson]
10620
10621 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
10622 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
10623 [Steve Henson]
10624
10625 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
10626 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
10627 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
10628 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
10629 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
10630 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
10631 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
10632 using the new 'x509' options.
10633
10634 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
10635 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
10636 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
10637 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
10638 for all purposes.
10639 [Steve Henson]
10640
10641 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
10642 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
10643 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
10644 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
10645 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
10646 [Mark Cox]
10647
10648 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
10649 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
10650 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
10651 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
10652 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
10653 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
10654 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
10655 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
10656 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
10657 the key length and effective key length are equal.
10658 [Steve Henson]
10659
10660 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
10661 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
10662 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
10663 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
10664 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
10665 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
10666 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
10667 [Steve Henson]
10668
10669 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
10670 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
10671 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
10672 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
10673 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
10674 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
10675 openssl.cnf for more info.
10676 [Steve Henson]
10677
10678 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
10679 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
10680 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
10681 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
10682 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
10683 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
10684 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
10685 md should be large enough anyway.
10686 [Bodo Moeller]
10687
10688 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
10689 for handling the random seed file.
10690
10691 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
10692 ca,
10693 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
10694 s_client,
10695 s_server,
10696 x509 (when signing).
10697 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
10698 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
10699 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
10700
10701 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
10702 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
10703 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
10704 that support '-rand'.
10705 [Bodo Moeller]
10706
10707 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
10708 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
10709 [Bodo Moeller]
10710
10711 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
10712 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
10713 [Bill Perry]
10714
10715 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
10716 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
10717 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
10718 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
10719 is suitable.
10720 [Steve Henson]
10721
10722 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
10723 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
10724 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
10725 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
10726 [Steve Henson]
10727
10728 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
10729 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
10730 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
10731 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
10732 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
10733 print out all the purposes.
10734 [Steve Henson]
10735
10736 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
10737 functions.
10738 [Steve Henson]
10739
10740 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
10741 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
10742 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
10743 single function call.
10744 [Steve Henson]
10745
10746 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
10747 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
10748 [Andy Polyakov]
10749
10750 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
10751 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
10752 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
10753 [Steve Henson]
10754
10755 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
10756 when producing the local key id.
10757 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10758
10759 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
10760 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
10761 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
10762 "server.pem".
10763 [Steve Henson]
10764
10765 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
10766 a public key to be input or output. For example:
10767 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
10768 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
10769 [Steve Henson]
10770
10771 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
10772 in the message. This was handled by allowing
10773 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
10774 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
10775
10776 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
10777 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
10778 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
10779 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10780
10781 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
10782 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
10783 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
10784 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
10785 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
10786 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
10787 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
10788 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
10789 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
10790 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
10791 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
10792 trivial: move one line.
10793 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
10794
10795 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
10796 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
10797 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
10798 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
10799 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
10800 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
10801 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
10802 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
10803 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
10804 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
10805 with an event loop for example.
10806 [Steve Henson]
10807
10808 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
10809 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
10810 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
10811 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
10812 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
10813 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
10814 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
10815 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
10816 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
10817 [Steve Henson]
10818
10819 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
10820 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
10821 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
10822 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
10823 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
10824 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
10825 [Steve Henson]
10826
10827 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
10828 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
10829 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
10830 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
10831
10832 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
10833 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
10834 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
10835 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
10836 key generation.
10837 [Steve Henson]
10838
10839 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
10840 (still largely untested)
10841 [Bodo Moeller]
10842
10843 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
10844 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
10845 [Steve Henson]
10846
10847 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
10848 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
10849 [Steve Henson]
10850
10851 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
10852 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
10853 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
10854 [Bodo Moeller]
10855
10856 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
10857 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
10858 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
10859 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
10860 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
10861 [Steve Henson]
10862
10863 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
10864 [Andy Polyakov]
10865
10866 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
10867 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
10868 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
10869 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
10870 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
10871 in ca.
10872 [Steve Henson]
10873
10874 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
10875 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
10876 1.OU="Unit name 1"
10877 2.OU="Unit name 2"
10878 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
10879 [Steve Henson]
10880
10881 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
10882 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
10883 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
10884 are otherwise ignored at present.
10885 [Steve Henson]
10886
10887 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
10888 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
10889 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
10890 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
10891 copied until the next read.
10892 [Steve Henson]
10893
10894 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
10895 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
10896 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
10897 [Steve Henson]
10898
10899 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
10900 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
10901 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
10902 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
10903 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
10904 associated functions.
10905 [Steve Henson]
10906
10907 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
10908 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
10909 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
10910 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
10911 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
10912 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
10913 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
10914 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
10915 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
10916 memory BIOs.
10917 [Steve Henson]
10918
10919 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
10920 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
10921 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
10922 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
10923 [Bodo Moeller]
10924
10925 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
10926 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
10927 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
10928 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
10929 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
10930 functionality.
10931 [Steve Henson]
10932
10933 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
10934 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
10935 under Win32.
10936 [Steve Henson]
10937
10938 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
10939 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
10940 extensions to be obtained and added.
10941 [Steve Henson]
10942
10943 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
10944 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
10945 [Bodo Moeller]
10946
10947 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
10948
10949 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
10950 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10951
10952 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
10953 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
10954
10955 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
10956 program.
10957 [Steve Henson]
10958
10959 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
10960 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
10961 DH parameters contain its length).
10962
10963 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
10964 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
10965 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
10966 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
10967 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
10968 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
10969 utter importance to use
10970 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10971 or
10972 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10973 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
10974 attacks may become possible!
10975 [Bodo Moeller]
10976
10977 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
10978 [Bodo Moeller]
10979
10980 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
10981 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
10982 [Steve Henson]
10983
10984 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
10985 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
10986 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
10987 or long name.
10988 [Steve Henson]
10989
10990 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
10991 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
10992 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
10993 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
10994 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
10995 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
10996 private key operations.
10997 [Steve Henson]
10998
10999 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
11000 [Andy Polyakov]
11001
11002 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
11003 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
11004 to
11005 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
11006 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
11007 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
11008 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
11009 the password callback is called.
11010 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
11011
11012 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
11013
11014 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
11015 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
11016 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
11017 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
11018 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
11019 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
11020 this will work.
11021
11022 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
11023 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
11024 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
11025 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
11026 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
11027 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
11028 [Bodo Moeller]
11029
11030 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
11031 [Andy Polyakov]
11032
11033 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
11034 delete an unused file.
11035 [Ulf Möller]
11036
11037 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
11038 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
11039 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
11040 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
11041 [Steve Henson]
11042
11043 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
11044 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
11045 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
11046 of an error.
11047 [Bodo Moeller]
11048
11049 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
11050 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
11051 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
11052
11053 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
11054 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
11055 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
11056 comparison" warnings.
11057 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
11058 [Steve Henson]
11059
11060 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
11061 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
11062 derived keys are printed to stderr.
11063 [Steve Henson]
11064
11065 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
11066 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
11067
11068 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
11069 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
11070
11071 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
11072 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
11073 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
11074
11075 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
11076 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
11077 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
11078 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
11079 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
11080 this bug.
11081 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
11082
11083 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
11084 The interface is as follows:
11085 Applications can use
11086 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
11087 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
11088 "off" is now the default.
11089 The library internally uses
11090 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
11091 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
11092 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
11093
11094 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
11095 even the default) are now avoided.
11096
11097 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
11098 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
11099 than just having a counter.
11100
11101 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
11102
11103 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
11104 extensions.
11105 [Bodo Moeller]
11106
11107 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
11108 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
11109 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
11110 Initial "mode" flags are:
11111
11112 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
11113 a single record has been written.
11114 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
11115 retries use the same buffer location.
11116 (But all of the contents must be
11117 copied!)
11118 [Bodo Moeller]
11119
11120 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
11121 worked.
11122
11123 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
11124 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
11125
11126 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
11127 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
11128 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
11129 [Steve Henson]
11130
11131 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
11132 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
11133 test programs.
11134 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
11135
11136 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
11137 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
11138 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
11139 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
11140 point to the end.
11141 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
11142 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
11143
11144 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
11145 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
11146 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
11147 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
11148 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
11149 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
11150 [Steve Henson]
11151
11152 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
11153 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
11154 necessary function names.
11155 [Steve Henson]
11156
11157 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
11158 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
11159 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
11160 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
11161 [Bodo Moeller]
11162
11163 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
11164 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
11165 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
11166 [Steve Henson]
11167
11168 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
11169 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
11170 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
11171 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
11172 such programs?)
11173 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
11174 need locks.
11175 [Bodo Moeller]
11176
11177 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
11178 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
11179 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
11180 [Bodo Moeller]
11181
11182 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
11183 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
11184 appropriate.
11185 [Bodo Moeller]
11186
11187 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
11188 for the encoded length.
11189 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
11190
11191 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
11192 [Steve Henson]
11193
11194 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
11195 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
11196 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
11197 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
11198 [Steve Henson]
11199
11200 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
11201 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
11202 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11203
11204 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
11205 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
11206 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
11207 unusual formatting.
11208 [Steve Henson]
11209
11210 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
11211 to use the new extension code.
11212 [Steve Henson]
11213
11214 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
11215 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
11216 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
11217 constant.
11218 [Steve Henson]
11219
11220 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
11221 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
11222 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
11223 [Bodo Moeller]
11224
11225 #if 0
11226 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
11227 [Ben Laurie]
11228 #else
11229 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
11230 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
11231 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
11232 #endif
11233
11234 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
11235 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
11236 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
11237 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
11238 [Ben Laurie]
11239
11240 *) DES library cleanups.
11241 [Ulf Möller]
11242
11243 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
11244 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
11245 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
11246 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
11247 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
11248 of v2.0.
11249 [Steve Henson]
11250
11251 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
11252 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
11253 [Bodo Moeller]
11254
11255 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
11256 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
11257 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
11258 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
11259 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
11260 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
11261 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
11262 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
11263 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
11264 [Steve Henson]
11265
11266 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
11267 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
11268 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
11269 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
11270 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
11271 value doesn't matter.
11272 [Steve Henson]
11273
11274 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
11275 support mutable.
11276 [Ben Laurie]
11277
11278 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
11279 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
11280 "linux-sparc" configuration.
11281 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
11282
11283 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
11284 [Ulf Möller]
11285
11286 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
11287 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
11288 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11289
11290 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
11291 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11292
11293 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
11294 [Ben Laurie]
11295
11296 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
11297 [Ben Laurie]
11298
11299 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
11300 [Ben Laurie]
11301
11302 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
11303 [Bodo Moeller]
11304
11305
11306 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
11307
11308 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
11309
11310 *) Updated some demos.
11311 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
11312
11313 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
11314 [Wu Zhigang]
11315
11316 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
11317 [Steve Henson]
11318
11319 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
11320 [Steve Henson]
11321
11322 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
11323 instead of using a fixed path.
11324 [Bodo Moeller]
11325
11326 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
11327 [Andy Polyakov]
11328
11329 *) Improvements for VMS support.
11330 [Richard Levitte]
11331
11332
11333 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
11334
11335 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
11336 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
11337 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11338
11339 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
11340 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
11341 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
11342 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
11343 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
11344 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
11345 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
11346 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
11347 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
11348 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
11349 [Steve Henson]
11350
11351 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
11352 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
11353 [Steve Henson]
11354
11355 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
11356 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
11357 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
11358 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
11359 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
11360
11361 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
11362 [Bodo Moeller]
11363
11364 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
11365 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
11366 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
11367 [Steve Henson]
11368
11369 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
11370 [Ben Laurie]
11371
11372 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
11373 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
11374 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
11375 key elements as negative integers.
11376 [Steve Henson]
11377
11378 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
11379 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11380
11381 *) VMS support.
11382 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
11383
11384 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
11385 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
11386 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
11387 [Steve Henson]
11388
11389 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
11390 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
11391 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
11392 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
11393 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
11394 [Bodo Moeller]
11395
11396 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
11397 [Ulf Möller]
11398
11399 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
11400 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
11401 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
11402 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11403
11404 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
11405 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
11406 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
11407
11408 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
11409 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
11410 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
11411 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
11412 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
11413 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
11414 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
11415 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
11416 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
11417
11418 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
11419 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
11420 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
11421 does not influence s as it used to.
11422
11423 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
11424 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
11425 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
11426 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
11427 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
11428 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
11429 [Bodo Moeller]
11430
11431 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
11432 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
11433 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
11434 key type.
11435 [Steve Henson]
11436
11437 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
11438 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
11439 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
11440 and 'x509').
11441 [Steve Henson]
11442
11443 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
11444 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
11445 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
11446 extension option.
11447 [Steve Henson]
11448
11449 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
11450 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
11451 [Ben Laurie]
11452
11453 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
11454 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11455
11456 *) Support Mingw32.
11457 [Ulf Möller]
11458
11459 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
11460 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11461
11462 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
11463 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11464
11465 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
11466 [Ulf Möller]
11467
11468 *) Update HPUX configuration.
11469 [Anonymous]
11470
11471 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
11472 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11473
11474 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
11475 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
11476 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
11477 DER-encoded.)
11478 [Bodo Moeller]
11479
11480 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
11481 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
11482 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
11483 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
11484 now it really counts the depth.
11485 [Bodo Moeller]
11486
11487 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
11488 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
11489 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
11490 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
11491 didn't match the private key).
11492
11493 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
11494 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
11495 connection using the SSL_CTX).
11496 [Bodo Moeller]
11497
11498 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
11499 [Ulf Möller]
11500
11501 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
11502 David Harris.
11503 [Bodo Moeller]
11504
11505 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
11506 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
11507 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
11508 [Bodo Moeller]
11509
11510 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
11511 [Bodo Moeller]
11512
11513 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
11514 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
11515 such as /usr/local/bin.
11516 [Bodo Moeller]
11517
11518 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
11519 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11520
11521 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
11522 [Ulf Möller]
11523
11524 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
11525 extension adding in x509 utility.
11526 [Steve Henson]
11527
11528 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
11529 [Ulf Möller]
11530
11531 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
11532 prototypes.
11533 [Steve Henson]
11534
11535 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
11536 [Ulf Möller]
11537
11538 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
11539 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
11540 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
11541 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
11542 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
11543 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
11544 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
11545 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
11546 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
11547 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
11548 [Steve Henson]
11549
11550 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
11551 [Bodo Moeller]
11552
11553 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
11554 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
11555 [Bodo Moeller]
11556
11557 *) Fix some race conditions.
11558 [Bodo Moeller]
11559
11560 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
11561 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
11562 [Steve Henson]
11563
11564 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
11565 [Ulf Möller]
11566
11567 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
11568 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
11569 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
11570 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
11571
11572 *) Fix lots of warnings.
11573 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11574
11575 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
11576 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
11577 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11578
11579 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
11580 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11581
11582 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
11583 [Ulf Möller]
11584
11585 *) Fix typos in error codes.
11586 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
11587
11588 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
11589 [Ulf Möller]
11590
11591 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
11592 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11593
11594 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
11595 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
11596 [Steve Henson]
11597
11598 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
11599 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
11600 [Ben Laurie]
11601
11602 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
11603 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
11604 [Steve Henson]
11605
11606 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
11607 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
11608 [Steve Henson]
11609
11610 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
11611 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
11612 [Steve Henson]
11613
11614 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
11615 support typesafe stack.
11616 [Steve Henson]
11617
11618 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
11619 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
11620
11621 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
11622 old X509V3 handling code.
11623 [Steve Henson]
11624
11625 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
11626 [Ulf Möller]
11627
11628 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
11629 [Bodo Moeller]
11630
11631 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
11632 [Ben Laurie]
11633
11634 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
11635 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
11636
11637 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
11638 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
11639 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
11640 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
11641 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
11642 [Ben Laurie]
11643
11644 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
11645 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
11646 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
11647 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
11648 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
11649
11650 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
11651 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
11652 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
11653 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11654
11655 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
11656 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
11657 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
11658 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11659
11660 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
11661 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
11662 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
11663 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
11664 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
11665 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
11666 [Bodo Moeller]
11667
11668 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
11669 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
11670 [Bodo Moeller]
11671
11672 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
11673 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
11674 [Ulf Möller]
11675
11676 *) Tweaks to Configure
11677 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11678
11679 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
11680 yet...
11681 [Steve Henson]
11682
11683 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
11684 [Ulf Möller]
11685
11686 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
11687 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
11688 [Ulf Möller]
11689
11690 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
11691 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
11692 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
11693 [Bodo Moeller]
11694
11695 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
11696 [Bodo Moeller]
11697
11698 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
11699 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
11700 [Steve Henson]
11701
11702 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
11703 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
11704 to library startup routines.
11705 [Steve Henson]
11706
11707 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
11708 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
11709 codes along the way.
11710 [Steve Henson]
11711
11712 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
11713 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
11714 objects to objects.h
11715 [Steve Henson]
11716
11717 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
11718 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
11719 [Steve Henson]
11720
11721 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
11722 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
11723
11724 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
11725 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
11726 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
11727
11728 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
11729 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11730 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11731
11732 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
11733 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
11734 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
11735
11736
11737 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
11738
11739 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
11740 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
11741 [Ben Laurie]
11742
11743 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
11744 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
11745 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
11746 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
11747 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
11748
11749 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
11750 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
11751 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
11752 document.
11753 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11754
11755 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
11756 Malloc, Free.
11757 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
11758
11759 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
11760 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11761
11762 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
11763 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
11764 if someone would make that last step automatic.
11765 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
11766
11767 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
11768 [Ben Laurie]
11769
11770 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
11771 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
11772 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
11773 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
11774 [Steve Henson]
11775
11776 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
11777 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
11778 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
11779 [Steve Henson]
11780
11781 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
11782 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
11783 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
11784 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
11785 installed as `perl').
11786 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11787
11788 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
11789 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11790
11791 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
11792 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
11793 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
11794 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
11795 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
11796 [Steve Henson]
11797
11798 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
11799 [Ben Laurie]
11800
11801 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
11802 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
11803 is horrible: I feel ill....
11804 [Steve Henson]
11805
11806 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
11807 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
11808 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
11809 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
11810 [Steve Henson]
11811
11812 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
11813 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11814
11815 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
11816 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
11817 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
11818 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11819
11820 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
11821 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
11822 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
11823 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
11824 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
11825 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
11826 openssl_bio.xs.
11827 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11828
11829 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
11830 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11831
11832 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
11833 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
11834
11835 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
11836 [Ben Laurie]
11837
11838 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
11839 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
11840 in CRLs.
11841 [Steve Henson]
11842
11843 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
11844 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
11845 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
11846 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
11847 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
11848 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
11849 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
11850 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
11851 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
11852 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
11853 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11854
11855 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
11856 [Ben Laurie]
11857
11858 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
11859 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
11860 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
11861 for linking it into DSOs.
11862 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11863
11864 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
11865 Fixed.
11866 [Ben Laurie]
11867
11868 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
11869 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
11870 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
11871 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
11872 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
11873 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11874
11875 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
11876 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
11877 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
11878 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
11879 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
11880 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
11881 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11882
11883 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
11884 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
11885 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
11886 encryption.
11887 [Ben Laurie]
11888
11889 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
11890 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
11891 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
11892 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
11893 [Steve Henson]
11894
11895 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
11896 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
11897 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
11898 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
11899 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
11900 field as blank.
11901 [Steve Henson]
11902
11903 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
11904 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
11905 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
11906 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
11907 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11908
11909 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
11910 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
11911 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11912
11913 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
11914 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11915
11916 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
11917 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
11918 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
11919 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
11920 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
11921 [Steve Henson]
11922
11923 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
11924 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
11925 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
11926 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
11927 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
11928 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
11929 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
11930 [Ben Laurie]
11931
11932 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
11933 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
11934 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
11935 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
11936 [Ben Laurie]
11937
11938 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
11939 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
11940
11941 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
11942 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
11943 [Steve Henson]
11944
11945 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
11946 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
11947 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
11948 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
11949 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
11950 (e.g. s_server).
11951 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
11952 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
11953 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
11954 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
11955 no way to reconfigure them.
11956 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
11957 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
11958 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
11959 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
11960 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
11961 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11962
11963 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
11964 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
11965 recognized by the users.
11966 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11967
11968 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
11969 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
11970 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
11971 already masked variable.
11972 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11973
11974 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
11975 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11976
11977 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
11978 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
11979 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
11980 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11981
11982 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
11983 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
11984 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11985
11986 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
11987 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
11988 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
11989 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
11990 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
11991 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
11992 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
11993 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
11994 now, too.
11995 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11996
11997 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
11998 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
11999 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12000
12001 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
12002 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
12003 config file.
12004 [Steve Henson]
12005
12006 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
12007 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12008
12009 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
12010 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
12011 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
12012 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
12013 [Ben Laurie]
12014
12015 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
12016 [Steve Henson]
12017
12018 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
12019 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12020
12021 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
12022 [Ben Laurie]
12023
12024 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
12025 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
12026 [Steve Henson]
12027
12028 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
12029 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
12030 [Steve Henson]
12031
12032 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
12033 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
12034 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
12035 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
12036 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
12037 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
12038 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
12039 Ben Laurie]
12040
12041 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
12042 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12043
12044 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
12045 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
12046 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
12047 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
12048 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12049
12050 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
12051 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
12052 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
12053 [Steve Henson]
12054
12055 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
12056 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
12057 an example.
12058 [Steve Henson]
12059
12060 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
12061 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
12062 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12063
12064 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
12065 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
12066 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
12067 build instructions.
12068 [Steve Henson]
12069
12070 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
12071 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
12072 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
12073 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
12074 [Steve Henson]
12075
12076 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
12077 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
12078 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
12079 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
12080 [Ben Laurie]
12081
12082 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
12083 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
12084 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
12085 so it wasn't spotted.
12086 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
12087
12088 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
12089 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
12090 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
12091 vectors if you have them.
12092 [Ben Laurie]
12093
12094 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
12095 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
12096 [Ben Laurie]
12097
12098 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
12099 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
12100 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
12101 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
12102 If you do a:
12103 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
12104 it will update them.
12105 [Steve Henson]
12106
12107 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
12108 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
12109 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
12110 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
12111 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
12112 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
12113 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
12114 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12115
12116 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
12117 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
12118 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
12119 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
12120 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
12121 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
12122 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
12123 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
12124 the crypto/md/ stuff).
12125 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12126
12127 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
12128 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
12129 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
12130 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
12131 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
12132 [Steve Henson]
12133
12134 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
12135 INTEGER code.
12136 [Steve Henson]
12137
12138 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
12139 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12140
12141 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
12142 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12143
12144 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
12145 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
12146 [Ben Laurie]
12147
12148 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
12149 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
12150
12151 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
12152 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
12153
12154 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
12155 [Steve Henson]
12156
12157 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
12158 few typos.
12159 [Steve Henson]
12160
12161 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
12162 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
12163 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
12164 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12165
12166 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12167 [Steve Henson]
12168
12169 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12170 [Steve Henson]
12171
12172 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
12173 [Steve Henson]
12174
12175 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
12176 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
12177 [Steve Henson]
12178
12179 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
12180 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
12181 CA extensions.
12182 [Steve Henson]
12183
12184 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
12185 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
12186 [Steve Henson]
12187
12188 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
12189 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
12190 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
12191 [Steve Henson]
12192
12193 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
12194 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
12195 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
12196 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
12197 properly to be processed.
12198 [Steve Henson]
12199
12200 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
12201 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
12202 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
12203 [Ben Laurie]
12204
12205 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
12206 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
12207
12208 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
12209 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
12210 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
12211 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
12212 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
12213 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
12214 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
12215 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
12216 or delete all the .err files.
12217 [Steve Henson]
12218
12219 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
12220 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
12221 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
12222 to regenerate it if needed.
12223 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
12224 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
12225
12226 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
12227 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12228
12229 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
12230 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
12231 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
12232 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
12233 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
12234 [Steve Henson]
12235
12236 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
12237 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12238
12239 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
12240 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12241
12242 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
12243 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
12244 error, but didn't set one).
12245 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12246
12247 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
12248 [Ben Laurie]
12249
12250 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
12251 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
12252 [Steve Henson]
12253
12254 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
12255 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
12256
12257 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
12258 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
12259 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
12260 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
12261 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
12262 OID is not part of the table.
12263 [Steve Henson]
12264
12265 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
12266 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
12267 [Ben Laurie]
12268
12269 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
12270 [Ben Laurie]
12271
12272 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
12273 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
12274 was "1234").
12275 [Steve Henson]
12276
12277 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
12278 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
12279
12280 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
12281 NULL pointers.
12282 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12283
12284 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
12285 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12286
12287 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
12288 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12289
12290 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
12291 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12292
12293 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
12294 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
12295 [Ben Laurie]
12296
12297 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
12298 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
12299 [Steve Henson]
12300
12301 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
12302 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12303
12304 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
12305 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12306
12307 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
12308 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12309
12310 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
12311 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12312
12313 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
12314 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
12315 unused in the certificate verification process.
12316 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12317
12318 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
12319 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
12320 [Steve Henson]
12321
12322 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
12323 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
12324 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
12325
12326 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
12327 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
12328 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
12329 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
12330 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
12331
12332 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
12333 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
12334 [Steve Henson]
12335
12336 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
12337 [Steve Henson]
12338
12339 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
12340 [Paul Sutton]
12341
12342 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
12343 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
12344
12345 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
12346 [Ben Laurie]
12347
12348 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
12349 [Ben Laurie]
12350
12351 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
12352 [Ben Laurie]
12353
12354 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
12355 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
12356 other error libraries.
12357 [Steve Henson]
12358
12359 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
12360 [Steve Henson]
12361
12362 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
12363 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
12364 be read in.
12365 [Steve Henson]
12366
12367 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
12368 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
12369 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
12370 the new set of documentation files.
12371 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12372
12373 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
12374 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
