5 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 [xx XXX 2001]
6
7 OpenSSL 0.9.6a/0.9.6b (bugfix releases, 5 Apr 2001 and 9 July 2001)
8 and OpenSSL 0.9.7 were developped in parallel, based on OpenSSL 0.9.6.
9
10 Change log entries are tagged as follows:
11 -) applies to 0.9.6a/0.9.6b/0.9.6c only
12 *) applies to 0.9.6a/0.9.6b/0.9.6c and 0.9.7
13 +) applies to 0.9.7 only
14
15 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
16 [Lutz Jaenicke]
17
18 +) Add EVP test program.
19 [Ben Laurie]
20
21 +) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
22 [Ben Laurie]
23
24 +) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
25 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
26 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
27 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
28 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
29 [Steve Henson]
30
31 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
32 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
33 [Lutz Jaenicke]
34
35 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
36 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
37 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
38 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
39 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the speciel
40 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
41 automatically.
42 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
43
44 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
45 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
46 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
47 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
48 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
49
50 +) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
51 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
52 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
53 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
54 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
55 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
56 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
57
58 +) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
59 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions. This also reduces
60 the number of header dependencies.
61 [Ben Laurie]
62
63 +) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
64 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
65 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
66 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
67 anyway).
68 [Ben Laurie]
69
70 +) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
71 [Andy Polyakov]
72
73 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
74 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
75 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
76 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
77 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
78 to allow the necessary settings.
79 [Lutz Jaenicke]
80
81 +) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
82 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
83 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
84 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
85 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
86 functions prevents this.
87 [Steve Henson]
88
89 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
90 explicitely to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
91 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
92 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
93 [Lutz Jaenicke]
94
95 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
96 dh->length and always used
97
98 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
99
100 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
101 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
102 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
103 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
104 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
105 dh->length.
106
107 So switch back to
108
109 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
110
111 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
112 otherwise.
113 [Bodo Moeller]
114
115 *) In
116
117 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
118 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
119 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
120 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
121
122 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
123 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
124 always reject numbers >= n.
125 [Bodo Moeller]
126
127 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
128 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
129 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
130 variable) is not atomic.
131 [Bodo Moeller]
132
133 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
134 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
135 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
136 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
137
138 +) Cleanup of EVP macros.
139 [Ben Laurie]
140
141 +) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
142 correct _ecb suffix.
143 [Ben Laurie]
144
145 +) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
146 revocation information is handled using the text based index
147 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
148 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
149 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
150 [Steve Henson]
151
152 +) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
153 [Richard Levitte]
154
155 +) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
156 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
157 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
158 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
159
160 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
161 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
162
163 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
164 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
165 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
166 via Richard Levitte]
167
168 +) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
169 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
170 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
171 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
172 [Geoff Thorpe]
173
174 -) OpenSSL 0.9.6b released [9 July 2001]
175
176 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
177 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
178 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
179 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
180 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
181 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
182 to traverse all of 'state'.
183
184 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
185 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
186 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
187
188 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
189 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
190
191 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
192 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
193 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
194 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
195 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
196 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
197 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
198 further strengthens the PRNG.
199 [Bodo Moeller]
200
201 +) Speed up EVP routines.
202 Before:
203 encrypt
204 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
205 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

217 [Ben Laurie]
218
219 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
220 [Andy Polyakov]
221
222 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
223 an error message in this case.
224 [Lutz Jaenicke]
225
226 +) Added the OS2-EMX target.
227 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
228
229 +) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
230 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
231 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
232 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
233 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
234 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
235 [Steve Henson]
236
237 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
238 [Steve Henson]
239
240 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
241 positive and less than q.
242 [Bodo Moeller]
243
244 +) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
245 and with pssibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
246 [Richard Levitte]
247
248 +) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
249 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
250 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
251 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
252
253 +) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
254 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
255 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
256 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
257 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
258 Addapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
259 callback.
260 [Richard Levitte]
261
262 +) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
263 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
264 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
265 and interrupts/cancelations.
266 [Richard Levitte]
267
268 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
269 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
270 that itself.
271 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
272
273 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
274 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
275 [Bodo Moeller]
276
277 +) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
278 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
279 [Steve Henson]
280
281 *) Fix OAEP check.
282 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
283
284 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
285 RSA encryption was accidentily removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
286 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
287 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
288 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
289 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
290 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
291 paper.)
292
293 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
294 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
295 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
296 detect the supposedly ignored error.
297
298 Both problems are now fixed.
299 [Bodo Moeller]
300
301 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
302 (previously it was 1024).
303 [Bodo Moeller]
304
305 +) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
306 tidy up some unecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
307 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
308
309 +) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
310 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
311 kind of callback.
312 [Richard Levitte]
313
314 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
315 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
316 [Steve Henson]
317
318 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
319 [Steve Henson]
320
321 +) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
322 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
323 than this minimum value is recommended.
324 [Lutz Jaenicke]
325
326 +) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
327 that are easily reachable.
328 [Richard Levitte]
329
330 +) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
331 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
332
333 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
334
335 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
336 delcare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
337 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
338 needed for static libraries under Win32.
339 [Steve Henson]
340
341 +) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
342 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
343 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
344 [Steve Henson]
345
346 +) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
347 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
348 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
349 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
350 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
351 internally such as S/MIME.
352
353 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
354 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
355 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
356
357 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
358 applications.
359 [Steve Henson]
360
361 +) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
362 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
363 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
364 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
365
366 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
367
368 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
369
370 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
371 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
372 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
373 handling.
374 [Steve Henson]
375
376 +) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
377 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
378 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
379 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
380 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
381 a window system and the like.
382 [Richard Levitte]
383
384 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
385 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
386 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
387 [Steve Henson]
388
389 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
390 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
391 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
392 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
393 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
394 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
395 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
396 environment variables.
397
398 +) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
399 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
400 [Geoff]
401
402 +) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
403 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
404 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
405 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
406 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
407 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
408 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
409 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
410 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
411 ENGINE structure.
412 [Geoff]
413
414 +) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
415 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
416 tag cache.
417 [Steve Henson]
418
419 +) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
420 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
421 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
422 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
423 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
424 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
425 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
426 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
427 [Geoff]
428
429 +) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
430 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
431 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
432 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
433 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
434 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
435 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
436 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
437 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
438 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
439 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
440 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
441 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
442 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
443 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
444 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
445 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
446 [Geoff]
447
448 +) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
449 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
450 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
451 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
452 internal engine_int.h header.
453 [Geoff]
454
455 +) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
456 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
457 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
458 modify their own ones).
459 [Geoff]
460
461 +) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
462 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
463 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
464 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
465 later on via ctrl() commands.
466 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
467 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
468 structural references.
469 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
470 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
471 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
472 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
473 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
474 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
475 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
476 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
477 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
478 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
479 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
480 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
481 [Geoff]
482
483 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
484 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
485 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
486 [Bodo Moeller]
487
488 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
489 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
490 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
491 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
492 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegaly release the lock
493 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
494 [Bodo Moeller]
495
496 +) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
497 to the algorithm using long divison. The binary algorithm can be
498 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
499 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
500 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
501 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
502 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
503 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
504 [Bodo Moeller]
505
506 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
507 versions of 'test'.
508 [Bodo Moeller]
509
510 -) OpenSSL 0.9.6a released [5 Apr 2001]
511
512 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
513 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
514
515 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
516 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
517 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
518 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
519 CygWin.
520 [Richard Levitte]
521
522 +) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
523 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
524 [Steve Henson]
525
526 -) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
527 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
528 amount of data available.
529 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
530 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
531
532 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
533 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
534 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
535 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
536 [Bodo Moeller]
537
538 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
539 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
540 and UnixWare.
541 [Richard Levitte]
542
543 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
544 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
545 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
546 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
547 [Ulf Moeller]
548
549 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
550 [Andy Polyakov]
551
552 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
553 [Richard Levitte]
554
555 -) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
556 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
557 [Steve Henson]
558 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
559
560 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
561 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
562 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
563 (but broken) behaviour.
564 [Steve Henson]
565
566 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
567 it when found.
568 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
569
570 +) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
571 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
572 [Steve Henson]
573
574 +) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
575 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
576 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
577 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
578 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
579 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
580 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
581 [Steve Henson]
582
583 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
584 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
585 [Bodo Moeller]
586
587 +) Function EC_POINTs_mul for simultaneous scalar multiplication
588 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points, optionally
589 including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP.
590 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
591 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
592 generator).
593 [Bodo Moeller]
594
595 +) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
596
597 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
598 operations and provides various method functions that can also
599 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
600
601 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
602 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
603
604 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
605 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
606 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
607
608 +) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
609 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
610
611 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
612 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
613
614 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
615
616 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
617 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
618 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
619 [Bodo Moeller]
620
621 +) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
622 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
623 [Richard Levitte]
624
625 +) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
626 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
627 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
628 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
629 is 40 of more characters long.
630 [Steve Henson]
631
632 +) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
633 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
634 pointers.
635 [Steve Henson]
636
637 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
638 did not exist.
639 [Bodo Moeller]
640
641 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
642 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
643
644 +) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
645 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
646 [Bodo Moeller]
647
648 +) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
649 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
650 might.
651 [Steve Henson]
652
653 +) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
654
655 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
656 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
657
658 ASN1 error codes
659 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
660 ...
661 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
662 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
663 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
664 ...
665 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
666 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
667
668 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
669 [Bodo Moeller]
670
671 +) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
672 suffices.
673 [Bodo Moeller]
674
675 +) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
676 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
677 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
678 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
679 and
680 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
681
682 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
683 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
684
685 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
686 [Richard Levitte]
687
688 +) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
689 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
690 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
691 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
692 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
693 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
694
695 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
696 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
697
698 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
699 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
700
701 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
702 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
703
704 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
705 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
706 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
707 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
708
709 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
710 header file everywere where the defined globals are used.
711
712 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
713 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bt different.
714
715 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
716 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
717 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
718 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
719 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
720 [Richard Levitte]
721
722 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
723 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
724 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
725
726 +) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
727 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
728 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
729 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
730 [Steve Henson]
731
732 +) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
733 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
734 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
735 trust settings.
736 [Steve Henson]
737
738 +) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
739 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
740 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
741 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
742 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock innacuracy. Instead
743 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
744 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
745 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
746 ocsp utility.
747 [Steve Henson]
748
749 +) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
750 OID rather that just UNKOWN.
751 [Steve Henson]
752
753 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
754 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
755 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
756 [Steve Henson]
757
758 +) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
759 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
760 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
761 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
762 [Steve Henson]
763
764 +) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
765 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
766 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
767 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
768 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
769 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
770 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
771 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
772 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
773 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
774 [Steve Henson]
775
776 +) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
777 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
778 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
779 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
780 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
781 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
782 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
783 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
784
785 +) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse prprocessor conditionals
786 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
787 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
788 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
789 [Richard Levitte]
790
791 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
792 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
793 [Ulf Moeller]
794
795 +) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
796 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
797 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
798 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
799 opensslconf.h.
800 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
801 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
802 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
803 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
804 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
805 what is available.
806 [Richard Levitte]
807
808 +) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
809 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
810 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
811 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
812 auto incremented.
813 [Steve Henson]
814
815 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
816 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
817
818 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
819
820 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
821
822 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
823 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
824 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
825 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
826 [Bodo Moeller]
827
828 +) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
829 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
830 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
831 [Steve Henson]
832
833 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
834 [Lutz Jaenicke]
835
836 +) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
837 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
838 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
839 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
840 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
841 [Steve Henson]
842
843 +) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
844 [Steve Henson]
845
846 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
847 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
848 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
849
850 +) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
851 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
852 option to ocsp utility.
853 [Steve Henson]
854
855 +) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
856 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
857 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
858 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
859 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
860 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
861 the request is nonce-less.
862 [Steve Henson]
863
864 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
865 was empty.
866 [Steve Henson]
867 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
868
869 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
870 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
871 but the code is actually correct.
872 [Steve Henson]
873
874 +) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
875 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
876 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
877 [Bodo Moeller]
878
879 +) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
880 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
881 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
882 [Steve Henson]
883
884 +) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
885 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
886 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
887 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
888 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
889 [Lutz Jaenicke]
890
891 +) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
892 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
893 appear to exist.
894 [Steve Henson]
895
896 +) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
897 additional certificates supplied.
898 [Steve Henson]
899
900 +) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
901 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
902 signature against.
903 [Richard Levitte]
904
905 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
906 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
907 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
908 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
909 and leaves the highest bit random.
910 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
911
912 +) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
913 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
914 AES OIDs. Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in the "AES Ciphersuites
915 for TLS" draft-ietf-tls-ciphersuite-03.txt.
916 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
917
918 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
919 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
920 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
921 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
922 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
923 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
924 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
925 [Bodo Moeller]
926
927 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
928 [Ulf Moeller]
929
930 +) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
931 request to response.
932 [Steve Henson]
933
934 +) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
935 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
936 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
937 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
938 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
939 reponse and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
940 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
941 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
942 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
943 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
944 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
945 [Steve Henson]
946
947 +) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
948 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
949 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests tha public_key
950 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
951 [Steve Henson]
952
953 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
954 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
955 [Steve Henson]
956
957 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
958 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
959 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
960 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
961 headers.
962 [Richard Levitte]
963
964 +) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
965 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
966
967 +) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
968 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
969 reponse then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
970 [Steve Henson]
971
972 -) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
973 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
974 and break the signature.
975 [Steve Henson]
976 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
977
978 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
979 DH ciphersuites.
980 [Steve Henson]
981
982 +) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
983 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
984 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
985 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
986 <support@securenetterm.com>]
987
988 +) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
989 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
990 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
991 [Steve Henson]
992
993 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
994 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
995 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
996 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
997 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
998 [Bodo Moeller]
999
1000 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
1001 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
1002
1003 *) ./config script fixes.
1004 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
1005
1006 +) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
1007 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
1008 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
1009 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
1010 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
1011 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
1012 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1013 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1014
1015 +) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
1016 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
1017 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
1018 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
1019 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
1020 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
1021 [Steve Henson]
1022
1023 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
1024 [Bodo Moeller]
1025
1026 +) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
1027 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
1028 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
1029 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
1030 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
1031 printout format cleaned up.
1032 [Steve Henson]
1033
1034 +) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
1035 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
1036 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
1037 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
1038 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
1039 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
1040 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
1041 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
1042 [Steve Henson]
1043
1044 +) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
1045 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
1046 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
1047 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
1048 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
1049 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
1050 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
1051 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
1052 [Steve Henson]
1053
1054 +) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
1055 extensions from a separate configuration file.
1056 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
1057 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
1058 section to use.
1059 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1060
1061 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
1062 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
1063 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
1064 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
1065 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
1066
1067 +) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
1068 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
1069 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
1070 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
1071 [Steve Henson]
1072
1073 +) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
1074 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
1075 the given serial number (according to the index file).
1076 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
1077 in the index file.
1078 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1079
1080 +) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
1081 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
1082 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
1083 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1084
1085 +) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
1086 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
1087
1088 +) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
1089 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
1090 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
1091 [Steve Henson]
1092
1093 +) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
1094 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
1095 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
1096 [Bodo Moeller]
1097
1098 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
1099 call failed, free the DSA structure.
1100 [Bodo Moeller]
1101
1102 +) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
1103 file name and line number information in additional arguments
1104 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
1105 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
1106 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
1107 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
1108 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
1109 functions are provided:
1110
1111 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
1112 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
1113 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
1114 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
1115
1116 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
1117 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
1118 extended allocation function is enabled.
1119 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
1120 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
1121 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
1122
1123 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
1124 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
1125 [Steve Henson]
1126
1127 +) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
1128 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
1129 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
1130 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
1131 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
1132 [Geoff Thorpe]
1133
1134 +) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
1135 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
1136 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
1137 be queried.
1138 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
1139 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
1140 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
1141 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1142
1143 +) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
1144 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
1145 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
1146 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
1147 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
1148 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
1149 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
1150 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
1151 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
1152 [Richard Levitte]
1153
1154 +) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
1155 provide utility functions which an application needing
1156 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
1157 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
1158 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
1159
1160 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
1161 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
1162 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
1163 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
1164 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
1165 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
1166 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
1167 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
1168 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
1169
1170 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
1171 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
1172 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
1173 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
1174 [Steve Henson]
1175
1176 +) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
1177 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
1178 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
1179 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
1180 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
1181 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
1182 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
1183 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
1184 will be added elsewhere.
1185 [Steve Henson]
1186
1187 +) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
1188 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
1189 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
1190 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
1191 [Steve Henson]
1192
1193 +) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
1194 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
1195 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
1196 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
1197 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
1198 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
1199 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
1200 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
1201 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
1202 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
1203 to produce the required SET OF.
1204 [Steve Henson]
1205
1206 +) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
1207 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
1208 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
1209 [Richard Levitte]
1210
1211 +) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
1212 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
1213 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
1214 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
1215 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
1216 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
1217 [Steve Henson]
1218
1219 +) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
1220 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
1221 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
1222 [Steve Henson]
1223
1224 +) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
1225 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
1226 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
1227 [Richard Levitte]
1228
1229 +) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
1230 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
1231 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
1232 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
1233 code will still work when these eventually go away.
1234 [Steve Henson]
1235
1236 +) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
1237 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
1238 [Steve Henson]
1239
1240 +) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
1241 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
1242 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
1243 certifcates and CRLs.
1244 [Steve Henson]
1245
1246 +) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
1247 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
1248 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
1249 [Steve Henson]
1250
1251 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
1252 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
1253 when writing a 32767 byte record.
1254 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
1255
1256 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
1257 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
1258
1259 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
1260 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
1261 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
1262 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
1263 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
1264
1265 +) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
1266 entries for variables.
1267 [Steve Henson]
1268
1269 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
1270 [Bodo Moeller]
1271
1272 +) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
1273 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
1274 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
1275 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
1276 [Bodo Moeller]
1277
1278 +) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
1279 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
1280 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
1281 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
1282 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
1283 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
1284 [Bodo Moeller]
1285
1286 +) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
1287 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
1288
1289 +) Move common extension printing code to new function
1290 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
1291 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
1292 [Steve Henson]
1293
1294 +) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
1295 print routines.
1296 [Steve Henson]
1297
1298 +) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
1299 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
1300 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
1301 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
1302 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
1303 order did not reflect the encoded order.
1304 [Steve Henson]
1305
1306 +) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
1307 [Steve Henson]
1308
1309 +) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
1310 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
1311 for now but they will eventually go away.
1312 [Steve Henson]
1313
1314 +) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
1315 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
1316 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
1317 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
1318 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
1319 has also been converted to the new form.
1320 [Steve Henson]
1321
1322 +) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
1323 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
1324 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
1325 for negative moduli.
1326 [Bodo Moeller]
1327
1328 +) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
1329 of not touching the result's sign bit.
1330 [Bodo Moeller]
1331
1332 +) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
1333 set.
1334 [Bodo Moeller]
1335
1336 +) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
1337 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
1338 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
1339 type-specific callbacks.
1340 [Geoff Thorpe]
1341
1342 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
1343 [Ulf Möller]
1344
1345 +) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
1346 RFC 2712.
1347 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1348 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
1349
1350 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
1351 [Ulf Möller]
1352
1353 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
1354 [Bodo Moeller]
1355
1356 +) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
1357 in sections depending on the subject.
1358 [Richard Levitte]
1359
1360 +) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
1361 Windows.
1362 [Richard Levitte]
1363
1364 +) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
1365 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
1366 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
1367 be handled deterministically).
1368 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1369
1370 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
1371 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
1372 [Bodo Moeller]
1373
1374 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
1375 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
1376 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
1377 result of the server certificate verification.)
1378 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1379
1380 +) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
1381 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
1382 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
1383 [Bodo Moeller]
1384
1385 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
1386 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
1387 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
1388 [Bodo Moeller]
1389
1390 *) Fix SSL_peek:
1391 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
1392 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
1393 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
1394 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
1395 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
1396 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
1397 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
1398 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
1399 [Bodo Moeller]
1400
1401 +) New function BN_kronecker.
1402 [Bodo Moeller]
1403
1404 +) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
1405 positive unless both parameters are zero.
1406 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
1407 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
1408 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
1409 [Bodo Moeller]
1410
1411 +) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
1412 sign of the number in question.
1413
1414 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
1415
1416 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
1417 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
1418 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
1419 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
1420 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
1421 [Bodo Moeller]
1422
1423 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
1424 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
1425 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
1426 happening the other way round.
1427 [Geoff Thorpe]
1428
1429 +) New function BN_swap.
1430 [Bodo Moeller]
1431
1432 +) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
1433 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
1434 results on negative inputs.
1435 [Bodo Moeller]
1436
1437 +) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
1438 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
1439 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
1440 [Bodo Moeller]
1441
1442 +) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
1443 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
1444 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
1445 and add new functions:
1446
1447 BN_nnmod
1448 BN_mod_sqr
1449 BN_mod_add
1450 BN_mod_add_quick
1451 BN_mod_sub
1452 BN_mod_sub_quick
1453 BN_mod_lshift1
1454 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
1455 BN_mod_lshift
1456 BN_mod_lshift_quick
1457
1458 These functions always generate non-negative results.
1459
1460 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
1461 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
1462
1463 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
1464 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
1465 be reduced modulo m.
1466 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1467
1468 +) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1469 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1470 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1471 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1472 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1473 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1474 differing sizes.
1475 [Richard Levitte]
1476
1477 +) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
1478 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
1479 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
1480 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
1481 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
1482
1483 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
1484 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
1485 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
1486 cause any problems.
1487 [Bodo Moeller]
1488
1489 +) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
1490 [Richard Levitte]
1491
1492 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
1493 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
1494 [Bodo Moeller]
1495
1496 +) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
1497 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
1498 [Richard Levitte]
1499
1500 +) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
1501 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
1502 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
1503 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
1504 time)
1505 [Richard Levitte]
1506
1507 +) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
1508 [Richard Levitte]
1509
1510 +) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
1511 [Richard Levitte]
1512
1513 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
1514 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
1515 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
1516 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
1517 [Richard Levitte]
1518
1519 +) Add the following functions:
1520
1521 ENGINE_load_cswift()
1522 ENGINE_load_chil()
1523 ENGINE_load_atalla()
1524 ENGINE_load_nuron()
1525 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
1526
1527 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
1528 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
1529 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
1530 libraries unless it's really needed.
1531
1532 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
1533 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
1534 declarations (they differed!).
1535 [Richard Levitte]
1536
1537 +) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
1538 [Richard Levitte]
1539
1540 +) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
1541 [Richard Levitte]
1542
1543 +) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
1544 [Bodo Moeller]
1545
1546 +) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
1547 identity, and test if they are actually available.
1548 [Richard Levitte]
1549
1550 +) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
1551 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
1552
1553 +) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
1554 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
1555 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1556
1557 +) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
1558 little-endian MIPS.
1559 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
1560
1561 +) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
1562 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
1563 [Richard Levitte]
1564
1565 +) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
1566 [Richard Levitte]
1567
1568 +) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
1569 [Richard Levitte]
1570
1571 +) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
1572 [Ben Laurie]
1573
1574 +) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
1575 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
1576 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
1577
1578 +) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
1579 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
1580 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
1581 different shared library filenames on each system.
1582 [Geoff Thorpe]
1583
1584 +) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
1585 [Richard Levitte]
1586
1587 +) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX
1588 [Richard Levitte]
1589
1590 +) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
1591 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
1592 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
1593 of two sections.
1594 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
1595
1596 +) NCONF changes.
1597 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
1598 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
1599 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
1600 binary backward compatibility.
1601 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
1602 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
1603 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
1604 LDAP server.
1605 [Richard Levitte]
1606
1607 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
1608 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
1609
1610 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
1611
1612 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
1613 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
1614 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
1615 that.
1616
1617 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
1618
1619 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
1620
1621 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
1622 static ones.
1623 [Richard Levitte]
1624
1625 +) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
1626 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
1627 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
1628 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
1629 this case.
1630 [Steve Henson]
1631
1632 +) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
1633 [Ben Laurie]
1634
1635 +) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
1636 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
1637 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
1638 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
1639 set.
1640 [Steve Henson]
1641
1642 +) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
1643 [Richard Levitte]
1644
1645 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
1646
1647 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
1648 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
1649 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
1650 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
1651 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
1652
1653 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
1654 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
1655 matter what.
1656 [Richard Levitte]
1657
1658 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
1659 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1660
1661 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
1662
1663 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
1664 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
1665 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
1666 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
1667 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
1668 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
1669 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
1670 by the Finished messages.
1671 [Bodo Moeller]
1672
1673 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
1674 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
1675
1676 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
1677 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
1678 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
1679 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
1680 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
1681 appropriately.
1682 [Steve Henson]
1683
1684 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
1685 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
1686 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
1687 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
1688 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
1689 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
1690 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
1691 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
1692 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
1693 together.
1694 [Steve Henson]
1695
1696 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
1697 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
1698 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
1699 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
1700
1701 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
1702 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
1703 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
1704 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
1705 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
1706 the answer.
1707
1708 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
1709 been tested well enough.
1710 [Richard Levitte]
1711
1712 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
1713 it can return incorrect results.
1714 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
1715 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
1716 [Bodo Moeller]
1717
1718 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
1719 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
1720 include zero length content when signing messages.
1721 [Steve Henson]
1722
1723 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
1724 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
1725 [Bodo Möller]
1726
1727 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
1728 [Richard Levitte]
1729
1730 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
1731 wrong sign.
1732 [Ulf Möller]
1733
1734 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
1735 packages. The default package contains applications, application
1736 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
1737 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
1738 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
1739 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
1740 [Richard Levitte]
1741
1742 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
1743 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
1744
1745 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
1746 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
1747
1748 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
1749 random number < q in the DSA library.
1750 [Ulf Möller]
1751
1752 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
1753 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
1754 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
1755 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
1756 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
1757 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
1758 just makes things more complicated.)
1759 [Bodo Moeller]
1760
1761 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
1762 from EGD.
1763 [Ben Laurie]
1764
1765 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
1766 work better on such systems.
1767 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
1768
1769 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
1770 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
1771 keyid to the certificates aux info.
1772 [Steve Henson]
1773
1774 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
1775 if there was more than one signature.
1776 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
1777
1778 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
1779 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
1780 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
1781 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
1782 [Richard Levitte]
1783
1784 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
1785 rather than always using the current time.
1786 [Steve Henson]
1787
1788 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
1789 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
1790 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
1791 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
1792 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
1793 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
1794
1795 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
1796 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
1797
1798 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
1799
1800 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
1801 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
1802 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
1803 the same hash value.
1804
1805 As a result various functions (which were all internal
1806 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
1807 structure. This will break anything that messed round
1808 with X509_STORE internally.
1809
1810 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
1811 exact match, rather than just subject name.
1812
1813 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
1814 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
1815 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
1816 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
1817 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
1818 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
1819 entirely (maybe later...).
1820
1821 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
1822
1823 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
1824 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
1825 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
1826 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
1827 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
1828 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
1829 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
1830 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
1831
1832 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
1833 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
1834
1835 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
1836 to customise the verify behaviour.
1837 [Steve Henson]
1838
1839 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
1840 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
1841 [Steve Henson]
1842
1843 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
1844 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
1845 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
1846 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
1847 request is improperly encoded.
1848 [Steve Henson]
1849
1850 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
1851 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
1852 BIO_write(b, ...).
1853
1854 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
1855 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
1856
1857 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
1858 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
1859 words set to zero.)
1860 [Bodo Moeller]
1861
1862 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
1863 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
1864 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
1865 [Bodo Moeller]
1866
1867 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
1868 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
1869 BIO/fp routines also added.
1870 [Steve Henson]
1871
1872 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
1873 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
1874
1875 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
1876 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
1877 demos/state_machine.
1878 [Ben Laurie]
1879
1880 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
1881 generation and verification.
1882 [Steve Henson]
1883
1884 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
1885 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
1886 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
1887 encode and decode it manually.
1888 [Steve Henson]
1889
1890 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
1891 compile under VC++.
1892 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
1893
1894 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
1895 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
1896 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
1897 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
1898
1899 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
1900 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
1901 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
1902 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
1903 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
1904 [Steve Henson]
1905
1906 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
1907 [Richard Levitte]
1908
1909 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
1910 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
1911 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
1912
1913 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
1914 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
1915 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
1916 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
1917 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
1918 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
1919 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
1920 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
1921
1922 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
1923 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
1924
1925 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
1926
1927 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
1928 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
1929 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
1930
1931 [Richard Levitte]
1932
1933 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
1934 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
1935 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
1936 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
1937 [Richard Levitte]
1938
1939 *) MD4 implemented.
1940 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
1941
1942 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
1943 [Richard Levitte]
1944
1945 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
1946 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
1947 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
1948 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
1949 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
1950 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
1951 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
1952 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
1953 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
1954 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
1955 short or long names are found.
1956 [Steve Henson]
1957
1958 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
1959 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
1960
1961 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
1962 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
1963 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
1964 version rollback attacks was not effective.
1965
1966 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
1967 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
1968 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
1969 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
1970 [Bodo Moeller]
1971
1972 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
1973 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
1974 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
1975 [Richard Levitte]
1976
1977 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
1978 these print out strings and name structures based on various
1979 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
1980 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
1981 to allow the various flags to be set.
1982 [Steve Henson]
1983
1984 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
1985 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
1986 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
1987 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
1988 dates to be checked.
1989 [Steve Henson]
1990
1991 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
1992 negative public key encodings) on by default,
1993 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
1994 [Steve Henson]
1995
1996 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
1997 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
1998 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
1999 [Steve Henson]
2000
2001 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
2002 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
2003 [Bodo Moeller]
2004
2005 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
2006 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
2007 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
2008 are always statically linked for now, but there are
2009 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
2010 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
2011 [Richard Levitte]
2012
2013 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
2014 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
2015 Random Numbers.
2016 [Ulf Möller]
2017
2018 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
2019 DSA key.
2020 [Steve Henson]
2021
2022 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
2023 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
2024 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
2025 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
2026 form signing output easier to verify.
2027 [Steve Henson]
2028
2029 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
2030 [Steve Henson]
2031
2032 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
2033 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
2034 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
2035 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
2036 are needed because all other string types have virtually
2037 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
2038 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
2039 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
2040 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
2041 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
2042 [Steve Henson]
2043
2044 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
2045
2046 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
2047 the syntax given in objects.README.
2048 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
2049 obj_mac.h.
2050 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
2051 obj_mac.h.
2052
2053 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
2054 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
2055 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
2056 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
2057 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
2058 consistent name changes.
2059 [Richard Levitte]
2060
2061 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
2062 [Bodo Moeller]
2063
2064 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
2065 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
2066 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
2067 environment variable, or the default random state file.
2068 [Richard Levitte]
2069
2070 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
2071 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
2072 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
2073 of safestack.h .
2074 [Steve Henson]
2075
2076 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
2077 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
2078 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
2079 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
2080 [Steve Henson]
2081
2082 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
2083 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
2084 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
2085 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
2086 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
2087 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
2088 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
2089 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
2090 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
2091 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
2092 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
2093 [Steve Henson]
2094
2095 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
2096 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
2097 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
2098 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
2099 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
2100 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
2101 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
2102 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
2103 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
2104 algorithm to openssl-dev.
2105 [Steve Henson]
2106
2107 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
2108 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
2109 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
2110 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
2111
2112 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
2113 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
2114 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
2115 omit any duplicate addresses.
2116 [Steve Henson]
2117
2118 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
2119 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
2120 [Bodo Moeller]
2121
2122 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
2123 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
2124 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
2125 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
2126 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
2127 [Bodo Moeller]
2128
2129 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
2130 software:
2131 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
2132 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
2133 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
2134 Free => OPENSSL_free
2135 [Richard Levitte]
2136
2137 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
2138 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
2139 [Bodo Moeller]
2140
2141 *) CygWin32 support.
2142 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
2143
2144 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
2145 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
2146 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
2147 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
2148 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
2149 approach.
2150 [Geoff Thorpe]
2151
2152 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
2153 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
2154 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
2155 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
2156 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
2157 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
2158 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
2159 [Geoff Thorpe]
2160
2161 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
2162 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
2163 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
2164 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
2165 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
2166 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
2167 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
2168 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
2169 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
2170 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
2171 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
2172 [Bodo Moeller]
2173
2174 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
2175 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
2176 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
2177 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
2178 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
2179
2180 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
2181 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
2182 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
2183 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
2184 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
2185
2186 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
2187 ciphers.
2188
2189 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
2190 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
2191 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
2192 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
2193
2194 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
2195
2196 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
2197 of macros.
2198
2199 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
2200 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
2201 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
2202 flags.
2203
2204 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
2205 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
2206 any installed hardware versions can.
2207 [Steve Henson]
2208
2209 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
2210 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
2211 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
2212 number.
2213 [Bodo Moeller]
2214
2215 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
2216 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
2217 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
2218 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
2219 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
2220
2221 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
2222 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
2223 [Steve Henson]
2224
2225 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
2226 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
2227 [Richard Levitte]
2228
2229 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
2230 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
2231 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
2232 features.
2233 [Steve Henson]
2234
2235 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
2236 [Ulf Möller]
2237
2238 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
2239 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
2240 but no ssl client purpose.
2241 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
2242
2243 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
2244 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
2245 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
2246 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
2247 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
2248 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
2249 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
2250 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
2251 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
2252 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
2253 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
2254 [Steve Henson]
2255
2256 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
2257 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
2258 be obtained from the error queue.
2259 [Bodo Moeller]
2260
2261 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
2262 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
2263 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
2264 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
2265 [Bodo Moeller]
2266
2267 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
2268 [Ulf Möller]
2269
2270 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
2271 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
2272 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
2273 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
2274 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
2275 [Geoff Thorpe]
2276
2277 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
2278 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
2279 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
2280 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
2281 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
2282 [Geoff Thorpe]
2283
2284 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
2285 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
2286 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
2287 may not be NULL.
2288 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
2289
2290 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
2291 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
2292 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
2293 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
2294 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
2295 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
2296 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
2297 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
2298 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
2299 or "the configuration storage API"...
2300
2301 The new configuration file reading functions are:
2302
2303 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
2304 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
2305
2306 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
2307
2308 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
2309
2310 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
2311 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
2312 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
2313 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
2314 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
2315 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
2316 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
2317
2318 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
2319 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
2320 [Richard Levitte]
2321
2322 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
2323 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
2324 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
2325 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
2326 [Bodo Moeller]
2327
2328 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
2329 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
2330 them in a portable way.
2331 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
2332
2333 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
2334
2335 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
2336
2337 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
2338 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
2339
2340 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
2341 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
2342 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
2343 <attili@amaxo.com>]
2344
2345 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
2346 was larger than the MD block size.
2347 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
2348
2349 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
2350 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
2351 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
2352 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
2353 components.
2354 [Steve Henson]
2355
2356 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
2357 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
2358 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
2359
2360 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
2361 discouraged.
2362 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
2363
2364 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
2365 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
2366 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
2367 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
2368 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
2369 Additional arguments are always ignored.
2370
2371 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
2372 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
2373
2374 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
2375 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
2376 [Bodo Moeller]
2377
2378 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
2379 [Bodo Moeller]
2380
2381 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
2382 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
2383 its own key.
2384 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
2385 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
2386 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
2387 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
2388 [Bodo Moeller]
2389
2390 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
2391 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
2392 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
2393 does not suppress any output.
2394 [Richard Levitte]
2395
2396 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
2397 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
2398 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
2399 with all the associated security issues.
2400
2401 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
2402 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
2403 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
2404 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
2405 use the value in the default purpose.
2406 [Steve Henson]
2407
2408 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
2409 and fix a memory leak.
2410 [Steve Henson]
2411
2412 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
2413 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
2414 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
2415 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
2416 [Bodo Moeller]
2417
2418 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
2419 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
2420 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
2421 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
2422 [Bodo Moeller]
2423
2424 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
2425 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
2426 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
2427 [Bodo Moeller]
2428
2429 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
2430 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
2431 [Bodo Moeller]
2432
2433 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
2434 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
2435 which was free.
2436 [Steve Henson]
2437
2438 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
2439 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
2440 [Bodo Moeller]
2441
2442 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
2443 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
2444 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
2445 [Bodo Moeller]
2446
2447 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
2448 number generation fails.
2449 [Bodo Moeller]
2450
2451 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
2452 [Bodo Moeller]
2453
2454 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
2455 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
2456
2457 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
2458 [Ulf Möller]
2459
2460 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
2461 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
2462
2463 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
2464 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
2465
2466 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
2467
2468 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
2469 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
2470 [Steve Henson]
2471
2472 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
2473 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
2474
2475 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
2476 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
2477 [Ulf Möller]
2478
2479 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
2480 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
2481 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
2482 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
2483 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
2484 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
2485
2486 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
2487 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
2488 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
2489 for example.
2490 [Steve Henson]
2491
2492 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
2493 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
2494 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
2495 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
2496 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
2497 counter, some don't.)
2498 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
2499 counters or duplicate objects.
2500 [Steve Henson]
2501
2502 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
2503 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
2504 [Steve Henson]
2505
2506 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
2507 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
2508 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
2509
2510 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
2511 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
2512 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
2513 or -rand.
2514 [Ulf Möller]
2515
2516 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
2517 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
2518 [Steve Henson]
2519
2520 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
2521 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
2522 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
2523 cipher list.
2524 [Steve Henson]
2525
2526 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
2527 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
2528 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
2529 [Steve Henson]
2530
2531 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
2532 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
2533 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
2534 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
2535 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
2536 should work without changes.
2537 [Richard Levitte]
2538
2539 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
2540 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
2541 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
2542 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
2543 must be defined. E.g.,
2544 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
2545 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
2546 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
2547 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
2548
2549 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
2550 record layer.
2551 [Bodo Moeller]
2552
2553 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
2554 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
2555 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
2556 [Steve Henson]
2557
2558 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
2559 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
2560 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
2561 request header lines. Some software needs this.
2562 [Steve Henson]
2563
2564 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
2565 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
2566 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
2567 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
2568 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
2569 is prompted for as usual.
2570 [Steve Henson]
2571
2572 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
2573 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
2574 autodetect the card and use it if present.
2575 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
2576
2577 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
2578 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
2579 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
2580 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
2581 [Steve Henson]
2582
2583 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
2584 [Andy Polyakov]
2585
2586 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
2587 of seed file.
2588 [Steve Henson]
2589
2590 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
2591 [Bodo Moeller]
2592
2593 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
2594 [Steve Henson]
2595
2596 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
2597 bits.
2598 [Ulf Möller]
2599
2600 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
2601 [Ulf Möller]
2602
2603 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
2604 [Andy Polyakov]
2605
2606 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
2607 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
2608 [Ulf Möller]
2609
2610 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
2611 options to produce them.
2612 [Steve Henson]
2613
2614 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
2615 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
2616 [Ulf Möller]
2617
2618 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
2619 for p == 0.
2620 [Ulf Möller]
2621
2622 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
2623 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
2624 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
2625 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
2626 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
2627 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
2628 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
2629 [Steve Henson]
2630
2631 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
2632 [Steve Henson]
2633
2634 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
2635 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
2636 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
2637 [Bodo Moeller]
2638
2639 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
2640 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
2641
2642 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
2643 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
2644 [Ulf Möller]
2645
2646 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
2647 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
2648 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
2649 has already seen).
2650 [Bodo Moeller]
2651
2652 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
2653 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
2654
2655 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
2656 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
2657 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
2658 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
2659 generation becomes much faster.
2660
2661 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
2662 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
2663 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
2664 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
2665 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
2666 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
2667 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
2668 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
2669 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
2670 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
2671 [Bodo Moeller]
2672
2673 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
2674 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
2675 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
2676 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
2677 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
2678 trial division stage.
2679 [Bodo Moeller]
2680
2681 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
2682 as ASN1_TIME.
2683 [Steve Henson]
2684
2685 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
2686 [Steve Henson]
2687
2688 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
2689 [Ulf Möller]
2690
2691 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
2692 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
2693 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
2694 the comments.
2695 [Ulf Möller]
2696
2697 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
2698 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
2699 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
2700 [Bodo Moeller]
2701
2702 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
2703 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
2704 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
2705 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
2706
2707 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
2708 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
2709 [Steve Henson]
2710
2711 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
2712 [Ulf Möller]
2713
2714 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
2715 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
2716 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
2717 Rabin-Miller iterations.
2718 [Ulf Möller]
2719
2720 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
2721 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
2722 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
2723 [Ulf Möller]
2724
2725 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
2726 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
2727 (instead of parameters) in future.
2728 [Steve Henson]
2729
2730 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
2731 when a new cipher list is set.
2732 [Steve Henson]
2733
2734 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
2735 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
2736 wrong.
2737
2738 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
2739 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
2740 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
2741
2742 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
2743 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
2744 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
2745 an error is flagged.
2746
2747 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
2748 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
2749 the readability was also increased :-)
2750 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
2751
2752 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
2753 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
2754 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
2755 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
2756 as the root CA.
2757 [Steve Henson]
2758
2759 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
2760 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
2761 [Steve Henson]
2762
2763 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
2764 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
2765 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
2766 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
2767 instead.
2768
2769 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
2770 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
2771 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
2772 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
2773 because they handle more complex structures.)
2774 [Steve Henson]
2775
2776 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
2777 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
2778 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
2779 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
2780
2781 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
2782 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
2783 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
2784 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
2785 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
2786 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
2787 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
2788 [Ulf Möller]
2789
2790 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
2791 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
2792 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
2793 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
2794 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
2795 [Bodo Moeller]
2796
2797 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
2798 [Bodo Moeller]
2799
2800 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
2801 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
2802 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
2803 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
2804 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
2805 to use this.
2806
2807 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
2808 code.
2809 [Steve Henson]
2810
2811 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
2812 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
2813 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
2814 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
2815 [Steve Henson]
2816
2817 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
2818 [Ulf Möller]
2819
2820 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
2821 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
2822 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
2823 international characters are used.
2824
2825 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
2826 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
2827 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
2828 in ASN1 order.
2829 [Steve Henson]
2830
2831 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
2832 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
2833 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
2834 request.
2835
2836 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
2837 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
2838 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
2839 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
2840 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
2841 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
2842
2843 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
2844 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
2845 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
2846 be handled by the string table functions.
2847
2848 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
2849 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
2850 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
2851 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
2852 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
2853 types at all.
2854 [Steve Henson]
2855
2856 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
2857 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
2858 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
2859 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
2860 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
2861
2862 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
2863 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
2864 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
2865 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
2866 [Bodo Moeller]
2867
2868 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
2869 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
2870 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
2871 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
2872 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
2873 SHA1.
2874 [Andy Polyakov]
2875
2876 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
2877 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
2878 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
2879 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
2880 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
2881 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
2882 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
2883 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
2884
2885 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
2886 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
2887 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
2888 [Steve Henson]
2889
2890 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
2891 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
2892 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
2893 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
2894 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
2895 support to pkcs8 application.
2896 [Steve Henson]
2897
2898 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
2899 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
2900 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
2901 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
2902 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
2903 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
2904 [Bodo Moeller]
2905
2906 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
2907 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
2908 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
2909 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
2910 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
2911 consistency.
2912 [Bodo Moeller]
2913
2914 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
2915 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
2916 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
2917 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
2918 example.
2919 [Steve Henson]
2920
2921 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
2922 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
2923 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
2924 and any application specific purposes.
2925
2926 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
2927 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
2928 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
2929 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
2930 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
2931 if the certificate is self signed.
2932 [Steve Henson]
2933
2934 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
2935 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
2936 [Steve Henson]
2937
2938 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
2939 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
2940 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
2941 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
2942 [Steve Henson]
2943
2944 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
2945 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
2946 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
2947 Update documentation.
2948 [Steve Henson]
2949
2950 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
2951 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
2952 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
2953 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
2954 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
2955 [Steve Henson]
2956
2957 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
2958 for details.
2959 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
2960
2961 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
2962 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
2963 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
2964 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
2965 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
2966 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
2967 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
2968 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
2969 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
2970 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
2971
2972 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
2973
2974 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
2975 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
2976 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
2977 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
2978 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
2979
2980 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
2981 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
2982 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
2983 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
2984 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
2985 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
2986 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
2987 request additional information:
2988 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
2989 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
2990
2991 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
2992 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
2993 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
2994 options.
2995
2996 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
2997 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
2998
2999 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
3000 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
3001 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
3002
3003 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
3004 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3005
3006 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
3007 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
3008 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
3009 algorithm.
3010 [Steve Henson]
3011
3012 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
3013 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
3014 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
3015
3016 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
3017 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
3018 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
3019 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
3020 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
3021 included in OpenSSL.
3022 [Steve Henson]
3023
3024 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
3025 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
3026 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
3027 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
3028 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
3029 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
3030 [Bodo Moeller]
3031
3032 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
3033 PKCS12 structure.
3034 [Steve Henson]
3035
3036 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
3037 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
3038 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
3039 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
3040 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
3041 structure.
3042 [Steve Henson]
3043
3044 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
3045 need initialising.
3046 [Steve Henson]
3047
3048 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
3049 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
3050 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
3051 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
3052 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
3053 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
3054 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
3055 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
3056 be maintained manually.
3057
3058 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
3059 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
3060 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
3061 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
3062 work because people forget to call this function]
3063 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
3064 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
3065 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
3066 [Steve Henson]
3067
3068 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
3069 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
3070 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
3071 should be discouraged from doing it.
3072 [Ben Laurie]
3073
3074 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
3075 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
3076 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
3077 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
3078 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
3079 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
3080 [Steve Henson]
3081
3082 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
3083 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
3084 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
3085
3086 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
3087 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
3088 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
3089
3090 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
3091 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
3092 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
3093 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
3094 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
3095 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
3096
3097 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
3098 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
3099 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
3100
3101 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
3102 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
3103 and vice versa.
3104
3105 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
3106 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
3107 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
3108 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
3109 [Steve Henson]
3110
3111 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
3112 [Steve Henson]
3113
3114 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
3115 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
3116 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
3117 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
3118 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
3119 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
3120 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
3121 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
3122 keys so we should be OK.
3123
3124 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
3125 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
3126 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
3127 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
3128 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
3129 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
3130 stay in the name of compatibility.
3131
3132 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
3133 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
3134 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
3135
3136 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
3137 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
3138 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
3139 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
3140 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
3141 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
3142 supplied key).
3143 [Steve Henson]
3144
3145 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
3146 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
3147 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
3148 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
3149 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
3150 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
3151 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
3152 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
3153 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
3154 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
3155 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
3156 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
3157 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
3158 [Steve Henson]
3159
3160 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
3161 [Steve Henson]
3162
3163 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
3164 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
3165 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
3166 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
3167 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
3168 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
3169 single self signed certificate. This means that:
3170 openssl verify ss.pem
3171 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
3172 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
3173 is OK.
3174 [Steve Henson]
3175
3176 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
3177 (and add it to external session representation).
3178 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
3179 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
3180 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
3181 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
3182 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
3183 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
3184 security holes.
3185 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
3186
3187 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
3188 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
3189 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
3190 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
3191
3192 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
3193 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
3194 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
3195 [Steve Henson]
3196
3197 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
3198 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
3199 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
3200 code.
3201 [Steve Henson]
3202
3203 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
3204 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
3205 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
3206
3207 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
3208 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
3209 certificate auxiliary information.
3210 [Steve Henson]
3211
3212 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
3213 the 'enc' command.
3214 [Steve Henson]
3215
3216 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
3217 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
3218 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
3219 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
3220 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
3221 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
3222 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
3223 [Richard Levitte]
3224
3225 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
3226 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
3227 [Steve Henson]
3228
3229 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
3230 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
3231 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
3232 manpages and fix a few bugs.
3233 [Steve Henson]
3234
3235 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
3236 [Steve Henson]
3237
3238 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
3239 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
3240 [Steve Henson]
3241
3242 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
3243 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
3244 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
3245 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
3246 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
3247 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
3248 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
3249 using the new 'x509' options.
3250
3251 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
3252 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
3253 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
3254 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
3255 for all purposes.
3256 [Steve Henson]
3257
3258 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
3259 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
3260 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
3261 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
3262 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
3263 [Mark Cox]
3264
3265 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
3266 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
3267 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
3268 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
3269 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
3270 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
3271 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
3272 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
3273 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
3274 the key length and effective key length are equal.
3275 [Steve Henson]
3276
3277 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
3278 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
3279 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
3280 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
3281 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
3282 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
3283 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
3284 [Steve Henson]
3285
3286 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
3287 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
3288 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
3289 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
3290 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
3291 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
3292 openssl.cnf for more info.
3293 [Steve Henson]
3294
3295 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
3296 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
3297 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
3298 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
3299 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
3300 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
3301 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
3302 md should be large enough anyway.
3303 [Bodo Moeller]
3304
3305 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
3306 for handling the random seed file.
3307
3308 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
3309 ca,
3310 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
3311 s_client,
3312 s_server,
3313 x509 (when signing).
3314 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
3315 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
3316 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
3317
3318 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
3319 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
3320 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
3321 that support '-rand'.
3322 [Bodo Moeller]
3323
3324 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
3325 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
3326 [Bodo Moeller]
3327
3328 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
3329 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
3330 [Bill Perry]
3331
3332 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
3333 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
3334 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
3335 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
3336 is suitable.
3337 [Steve Henson]
3338
3339 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
3340 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
3341 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
3342 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
3343 [Steve Henson]
3344
3345 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
3346 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
3347 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
3348 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
3349 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
3350 print out all the purposes.
3351 [Steve Henson]
3352
3353 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
3354 functions.
3355 [Steve Henson]
3356
3357 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
3358 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
3359 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
3360 single function call.
3361 [Steve Henson]
3362
3363 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
3364 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
3365 [Andy Polyakov]
3366
3367 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
3368 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
3369 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
3370 [Steve Henson]
3371
3372 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
3373 when producing the local key id.
3374 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
3375
3376 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
3377 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
3378 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
3379 "server.pem".
3380 [Steve Henson]
3381
3382 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
3383 a public key to be input or output. For example:
3384 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
3385 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
3386 [Steve Henson]
3387
3388 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
3389 in the message. This was handled by allowing
3390 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
3391 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
3392
3393 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
3394 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
3395 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
3396 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3397
3398 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
3399 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
3400 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
3401 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
3402 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
3403 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
3404 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
3405 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
3406 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
3407 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
3408 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
3409 trivial: move one line.
3410 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
3411
3412 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
3413 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
3414 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
3415 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
3416 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
3417 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
3418 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
3419 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
3420 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
3421 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
3422 with an event loop for example.
3423 [Steve Henson]
3424
3425 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
3426 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
3427 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
3428 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
3429 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
3430 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
3431 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
3432 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
3433 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
3434 [Steve Henson]
3435
3436 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
3437 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
3438 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
3439 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
3440 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
3441 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
3442 [Steve Henson]
3443
3444 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
3445 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
3446 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
3447 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
3448
3449 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
3450 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
3451 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
3452 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
3453 key generation.
3454 [Steve Henson]
3455
3456 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
3457 (still largely untested)
3458 [Bodo Moeller]
3459
3460 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
3461 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
3462 [Steve Henson]
3463
3464 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
3465 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
3466 [Steve Henson]
3467
3468 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
3469 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
3470 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
3471 [Bodo Moeller]
3472
3473 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
3474 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
3475 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
3476 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
3477 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
3478 [Steve Henson]
3479
3480 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
3481 [Andy Polyakov]
3482
3483 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
3484 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
3485 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
3486 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
3487 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
3488 in ca.
3489 [Steve Henson]
3490
3491 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
3492 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
3493 1.OU="Unit name 1"
3494 2.OU="Unit name 2"
3495 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
3496 [Steve Henson]
3497
3498 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
3499 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
3500 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
3501 are otherwise ignored at present.
3502 [Steve Henson]
3503
3504 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
3505 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
3506 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
3507 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
3508 copied until the next read.
3509 [Steve Henson]
3510
3511 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
3512 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
3513 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
3514 [Steve Henson]
3515
3516 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
3517 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
3518 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
3519 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
3520 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
3521 associated functions.
3522 [Steve Henson]
3523
3524 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
3525 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
3526 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
3527 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
3528 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
3529 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
3530 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
3531 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
3532 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
3533 memory BIOs.
3534 [Steve Henson]
3535
3536 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
3537 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
3538 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
3539 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
3540 [Bodo Moeller]
3541
3542 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
3543 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
3544 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
3545 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
3546 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
3547 functionality.
3548 [Steve Henson]
3549
3550 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
3551 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
3552 under Win32.
3553 [Steve Henson]
3554
3555 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
3556 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
3557 extensions to be obtained and added.
3558 [Steve Henson]
3559
3560 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
3561 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
3562 [Bodo Moeller]
3563
3564 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
3565
3566 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
3567 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3568
3569 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
3570 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
3571
3572 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
3573 program.
3574 [Steve Henson]
3575
3576 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
3577 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
3578 DH parameters contain its length).
3579
3580 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
3581 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
3582 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
3583 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
3584 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
3585 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
3586 utter importance to use
3587 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
3588 or
3589 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
3590 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
3591 attacks may become possible!
3592 [Bodo Moeller]
3593
3594 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
3595 [Bodo Moeller]
3596
3597 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
3598 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
3599 [Steve Henson]
3600
3601 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
3602 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
3603 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
3604 or long name.
3605 [Steve Henson]
3606
3607 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
3608 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
3609 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
3610 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
3611 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
3612 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
3613 private key operations.
3614 [Steve Henson]
3615
3616 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
3617 [Andy Polyakov]
3618
3619 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
3620 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
3621 to
3622 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
3623 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
3624 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
3625 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
3626 the password callback is called.
3627 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
3628
3629 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
3630
3631 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
3632 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
3633 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
3634 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
3635 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
3636 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
3637 this will work.
3638
3639 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
3640 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
3641 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
3642 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
3643 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
3644 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
3645 [Bodo Moeller]
3646
3647 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
3648 [Andy Polyakov]
3649
3650 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
3651 delete an unused file.
3652 [Ulf Möller]
3653
3654 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
3655 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
3656 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
3657 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
3658 [Steve Henson]
3659
3660 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
3661 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
3662 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
3663 of an error.
3664 [Bodo Moeller]
3665
3666 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
3667 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
3668 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
3669
3670 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
3671 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
3672 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
3673 comparison" warnings.
3674 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
3675 [Steve Henson]
3676
3677 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
3678 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
3679 derived keys are printed to stderr.
3680 [Steve Henson]
3681
3682 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
3683 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
3684
3685 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
3686 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
3687
3688 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
3689 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
3690 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
3691
3692 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
3693 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
3694 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
3695 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
3696 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
3697 this bug.
3698 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
3699
3700 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
3701 The interface is as follows:
3702 Applications can use
3703 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
3704 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
3705 "off" is now the default.
3706 The library internally uses
3707 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
3708 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
3709 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
3710
3711 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
3712 even the default) are now avoided.
3713
3714 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
3715 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
3716 than just having a counter.
3717
3718 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
3719
3720 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
3721 extensions.
3722 [Bodo Moeller]
3723
3724 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
3725 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
3726 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
3727 Initial "mode" flags are:
3728
3729 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
3730 a single record has been written.
3731 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
3732 retries use the same buffer location.
3733 (But all of the contents must be
3734 copied!)
3735 [Bodo Moeller]
3736
3737 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
3738 worked.
3739
3740 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
3741 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
3742
3743 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
3744 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
3745 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
3746 [Steve Henson]
3747
3748 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
3749 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
3750 test programs.
3751 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
3752
3753 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
3754 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
3755 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
3756 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
3757 point to the end.
3758 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
3759 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
3760
3761 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
3762 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
3763 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
3764 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
3765 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
3766 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
3767 [Steve Henson]
3768
3769 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
3770 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
3771 necessary function names.
3772 [Steve Henson]
3773
3774 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
3775 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
3776 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
3777 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
3778 [Bodo Moeller]
3779
3780 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
3781 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
3782 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
3783 [Steve Henson]
3784
3785 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
3786 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
3787 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
3788 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
3789 such programs?)
3790 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
3791 need locks.
3792 [Bodo Moeller]
3793
3794 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
3795 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
3796 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
3797 [Bodo Moeller]
3798
3799 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
3800 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
3801 appropriate.
3802 [Bodo Moeller]
3803
3804 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
3805 for the encoded length.
3806 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
3807
3808 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
3809 [Steve Henson]
3810
3811 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
3812 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
3813 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
3814 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
3815 [Steve Henson]
3816
3817 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
3818 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
3819 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3820
3821 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
3822 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
3823 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
3824 unusual formatting.
3825 [Steve Henson]
3826
3827 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
3828 to use the new extension code.
3829 [Steve Henson]
3830
3831 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
3832 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
3833 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
3834 constant.
3835 [Steve Henson]
3836
3837 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
3838 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
3839 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
3840 [Bodo Moeller]
3841
3842 #if 0
3843 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
3844 [Ben Laurie]
3845 #else
3846 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
3847 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
3848 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
3849 #endif
3850
3851 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
3852 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
3853 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
3854 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
3855 [Ben Laurie]
3856
3857 *) DES library cleanups.
3858 [Ulf Möller]
3859
3860 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
3861 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
3862 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
3863 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
3864 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
3865 of v2.0.
3866 [Steve Henson]
3867
3868 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
3869 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
3870 [Bodo Moeller]
3871
3872 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
3873 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
3874 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
3875 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
3876 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
3877 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
3878 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
3879 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
3880 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
3881 [Steve Henson]
3882
3883 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
3884 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
3885 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
3886 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
3887 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
3888 value doesn't matter.
3889 [Steve Henson]
3890
3891 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
3892 support mutable.
3893 [Ben Laurie]
3894
3895 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
3896 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
3897 "linux-sparc" configuration.
3898 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
3899
3900 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
3901 [Ulf Möller]
3902
3903 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
3904 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
3905 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
3906
3907 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
3908 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
3909
3910 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
3911 [Ben Laurie]
3912
3913 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
3914 [Ben Laurie]
3915
3916 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
3917 [Ben Laurie]
3918
3919 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
3920 [Bodo Moeller]
3921
3922
3923 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
3924
3925 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
3926
3927 *) Updated some demos.
3928 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
3929
3930 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
3931 [Wu Zhigang]
3932
3933 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
3934 [Steve Henson]
3935
3936 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
3937 [Steve Henson]
3938
3939 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
3940 instead of using a fixed path.
3941 [Bodo Moeller]
3942
3943 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
3944 [Andy Polyakov]
3945
3946 *) Improvements for VMS support.
3947 [Richard Levitte]
3948
3949
3950 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
3951
3952 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
3953 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
3954 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
3955
3956 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
3957 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
3958 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
3959 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
3960 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
3961 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
3962 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
3963 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
3964 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
3965 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
3966 [Steve Henson]
3967
3968 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
3969 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
3970 [Steve Henson]
3971
3972 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
3973 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
3974 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
3975 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
3976 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
3977
3978 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
3979 [Bodo Moeller]
3980
3981 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
3982 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
3983 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
3984 [Steve Henson]
3985
3986 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
3987 [Ben Laurie]
3988
3989 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
3990 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
3991 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
3992 key elements as negative integers.
3993 [Steve Henson]
3994
3995 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
3996 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
3997
3998 *) VMS support.
3999 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
4000
4001 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
4002 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
4003 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
4004 [Steve Henson]
4005
4006 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
4007 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
4008 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
4009 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
4010 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
4011 [Bodo Moeller]
4012
4013 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
4014 [Ulf Möller]
4015
4016 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
4017 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
4018 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
4019 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4020
4021 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
4022 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
4023 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
4024
4025 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
4026 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
4027 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
4028 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
4029 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
4030 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
4031 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
4032 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
4033 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
4034
4035 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
4036 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
4037 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
4038 does not influence s as it used to.
4039
4040 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
4041 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
4042 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
4043 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
4044 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
4045 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
4046 [Bodo Moeller]
4047
4048 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
4049 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
4050 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
4051 key type.
4052 [Steve Henson]
4053
4054 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
4055 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
4056 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
4057 and 'x509').
4058 [Steve Henson]
4059
4060 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
4061 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
4062 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
4063 extension option.
4064 [Steve Henson]
4065
4066 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
4067 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
4068 [Ben Laurie]
4069
4070 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
4071 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
4072
4073 *) Support Mingw32.
4074 [Ulf Möller]
4075
4076 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
4077 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4078
4079 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
4080 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4081
4082 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
4083 [Ulf Möller]
4084
4085 *) Update HPUX configuration.
4086 [Anonymous]
4087
4088 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
4089 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4090
4091 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
4092 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
4093 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
4094 DER-encoded.)
4095 [Bodo Moeller]
4096
4097 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
4098 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
4099 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
4100 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
4101 now it really counts the depth.
4102 [Bodo Moeller]
4103
4104 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
4105 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
4106 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
4107 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
4108 didn't match the private key).
4109
4110 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
4111 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
4112 connection using the SSL_CTX).
4113 [Bodo Moeller]
4114
4115 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
4116 [Ulf Möller]
4117
4118 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
4119 David Harris.
4120 [Bodo Moeller]
4121
4122 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
4123 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
4124 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
4125 [Bodo Moeller]
4126
4127 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
4128 [Bodo Moeller]
4129
4130 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
4131 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
4132 such as /usr/local/bin.
4133 [Bodo Moeller]
4134
4135 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
4136 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
4137
4138 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
4139 [Ulf Möller]
4140
4141 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
4142 extension adding in x509 utility.
4143 [Steve Henson]
4144
4145 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
4146 [Ulf Möller]
4147
4148 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
4149 prototypes.
4150 [Steve Henson]
4151
4152 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
4153 [Ulf Möller]
4154
4155 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
4156 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
4157 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
4158 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
4159 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
4160 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
4161 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
4162 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
4163 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
4164 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
4165 [Steve Henson]
4166
4167 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
4168 [Bodo Moeller]
4169
4170 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
4171 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
4172 [Bodo Moeller]
4173
4174 *) Fix some race conditions.
4175 [Bodo Moeller]
4176
4177 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
4178 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
4179 [Steve Henson]
4180
4181 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
4182 [Ulf Möller]
4183
4184 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
4185 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
4186 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
4187 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
4188
4189 *) Fix lots of warnings.
4190 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4191
4192 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
4193 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
4194 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4195
4196 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
4197 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4198
4199 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
4200 [Ulf Möller]
4201
4202 *) Fix typos in error codes.
4203 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
4204
4205 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
4206 [Ulf Möller]
4207
4208 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
4209 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4210
4211 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
4212 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
4213 [Steve Henson]
4214
4215 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
4216 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
4217 [Ben Laurie]
4218
4219 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
4220 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
4221 [Steve Henson]
4222
4223 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
4224 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
4225 [Steve Henson]
4226
4227 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
4228 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
4229 [Steve Henson]
4230
4231 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
4232 support typesafe stack.
4233 [Steve Henson]
4234
4235 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
4236 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
4237
4238 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
4239 old X509V3 handling code.
4240 [Steve Henson]
4241
4242 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
4243 [Ulf Möller]
4244
4245 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
4246 [Bodo Moeller]
4247
4248 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
4249 [Ben Laurie]
4250
4251 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
4252 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
4253
4254 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
4255 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
4256 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
4257 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
4258 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
4259 [Ben Laurie]
4260
4261 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
4262 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
4263 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
4264 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
4265 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
4266
4267 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
4268 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
4269 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
4270 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4271
4272 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
4273 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
4274 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
4275 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4276
4277 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
4278 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
4279 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
4280 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
4281 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
4282 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
4283 [Bodo Moeller]
4284
4285 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
4286 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
4287 [Bodo Moeller]
4288
4289 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
4290 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
4291 [Ulf Möller]
4292
4293 *) Tweaks to Configure
4294 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
4295
4296 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
4297 yet...
4298 [Steve Henson]
4299
4300 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
4301 [Ulf Möller]
4302
4303 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
4304 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
4305 [Ulf Möller]
4306
4307 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
4308 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
4309 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
4310 [Bodo Moeller]
4311
4312 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
4313 [Bodo Moeller]
4314
4315 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
4316 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
4317 [Steve Henson]
4318
4319 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
4320 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
4321 to library startup routines.
4322 [Steve Henson]
4323
4324 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
4325 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
4326 codes along the way.
4327 [Steve Henson]
4328
4329 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
4330 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
4331 objects to objects.h
4332 [Steve Henson]
4333
4334 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
4335 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
4336 [Steve Henson]
4337
4338 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
4339 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
4340
4341 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
4342 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
4343 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
4344
4345 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
4346 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
4347 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4348
4349 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
4350 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
4351 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
4352
4353
4354 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
4355
4356 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
4357 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
4358 [Ben Laurie]
4359
4360 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
4361 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
4362 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
4363 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
4364 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
4365
4366 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
4367 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
4368 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
4369 document.
4370 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4371
4372 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
4373 Malloc, Free.
4374 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
4375
4376 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
4377 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4378
4379 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
4380 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
4381 if someone would make that last step automatic.
4382 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
4383
4384 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
4385 [Ben Laurie]
4386
4387 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
4388 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
4389 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
4390 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
4391 [Steve Henson]
4392
4393 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
4394 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
4395 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
4396 [Steve Henson]
4397
4398 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
4399 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
4400 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
4401 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
4402 installed as `perl').
4403 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
4404
4405 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
4406 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
4407
4408 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
4409 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
4410 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
4411 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
4412 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
4413 [Steve Henson]
4414
4415 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
4416 [Ben Laurie]
4417
4418 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
4419 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
4420 is horrible: I feel ill....
4421 [Steve Henson]
4422
4423 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
4424 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
4425 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
4426 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
4427 [Steve Henson]
4428
4429 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
4430 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4431
4432 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
4433 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
4434 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
4435 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4436
4437 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
4438 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
4439 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
4440 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
4441 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
4442 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
4443 openssl_bio.xs.
4444 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4445
4446 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
4447 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
4448
4449 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
4450 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
4451
4452 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
4453 [Ben Laurie]
4454
4455 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
4456 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
4457 in CRLs.
4458 [Steve Henson]
4459
4460 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
4461 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
4462 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
4463 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
4464 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
4465 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
4466 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
4467 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
4468 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
4469 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
4470 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4471
4472 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
4473 [Ben Laurie]
4474
4475 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
4476 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
4477 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
4478 for linking it into DSOs.
4479 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4480
4481 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
4482 Fixed.
4483 [Ben Laurie]
4484
4485 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
4486 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
4487 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
4488 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
4489 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
4490 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4491
4492 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
4493 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
4494 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
4495 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
4496 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
4497 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
4498 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4499
4500 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
4501 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
4502 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
4503 encryption.
4504 [Ben Laurie]
4505
4506 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
4507 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
4508 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
4509 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
4510 [Steve Henson]
4511
4512 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
4513 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
4514 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
4515 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
4516 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
4517 field as blank.
4518 [Steve Henson]
4519
4520 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
4521 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
4522 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
4523 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
4524 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4525
4526 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
4527 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
4528 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
4529
4530 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
4531 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
4532
4533 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
4534 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
4535 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
4536 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
4537 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
4538 [Steve Henson]
4539
4540 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
4541 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
4542 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
4543 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
4544 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
4545 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
4546 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
4547 [Ben Laurie]
4548
4549 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
4550 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
4551 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
4552 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
4553 [Ben Laurie]
4554
4555 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
4556 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
4557
4558 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
4559 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
4560 [Steve Henson]
4561
4562 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
4563 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
4564 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
4565 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
4566 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
4567 (e.g. s_server).
4568 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
4569 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
4570 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
4571 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
4572 no way to reconfigure them.
4573 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
4574 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
4575 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
4576 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
4577 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
4578 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4579
4580 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
4581 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
4582 recognized by the users.
4583 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4584
4585 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
4586 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
4587 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
4588 already masked variable.
4589 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4590
4591 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
4592 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4593
4594 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
4595 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
4596 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
4597 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4598
4599 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
4600 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
4601 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4602
4603 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
4604 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
4605 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
4606 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
4607 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
4608 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
4609 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
4610 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
4611 now, too.
4612 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4613
4614 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
4615 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
4616 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4617
4618 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
4619 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
4620 config file.
4621 [Steve Henson]
4622
4623 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
4624 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
4625
4626 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
4627 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
4628 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
4629 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
4630 [Ben Laurie]
4631
4632 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
4633 [Steve Henson]
4634
4635 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
4636 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4637
4638 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
4639 [Ben Laurie]
4640
4641 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
4642 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
4643 [Steve Henson]
4644
4645 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
4646 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
4647 [Steve Henson]
4648
4649 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
4650 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
4651 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
4652 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
4653 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
4654 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
4655 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
4656 Ben Laurie]
4657
4658 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
4659 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
4660
4661 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
4662 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
4663 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
4664 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
4665 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
4666
4667 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
4668 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
4669 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
4670 [Steve Henson]
4671
4672 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
4673 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
4674 an example.
4675 [Steve Henson]
4676
4677 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
4678 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
4679 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
4680
4681 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
4682 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
4683 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
4684 build instructions.
4685 [Steve Henson]
4686
4687 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
4688 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
4689 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
4690 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
4691 [Steve Henson]
4692
4693 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
4694 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
4695 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
4696 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
4697 [Ben Laurie]
4698
4699 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
4700 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
4701 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
4702 so it wasn't spotted.
4703 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
4704
4705 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
4706 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
4707 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
4708 vectors if you have them.
4709 [Ben Laurie]
4710
4711 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
4712 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
4713 [Ben Laurie]
4714
4715 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
4716 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
4717 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
4718 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
4719 If you do a:
4720 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
4721 it will update them.
4722 [Steve Henson]
4723
4724 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
4725 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
4726 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
4727 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
4728 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
4729 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
4730 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
4731 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4732
4733 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
4734 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
4735 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
4736 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
4737 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
4738 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
4739 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
4740 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
4741 the crypto/md/ stuff).
4742 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4743
4744 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
4745 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
4746 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
4747 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
4748 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
4749 [Steve Henson]
4750
4751 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
4752 INTEGER code.
4753 [Steve Henson]
4754
4755 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
4756 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
4757
4758 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
4759 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
4760
4761 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
4762 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
4763 [Ben Laurie]
4764
4765 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
4766 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
4767
4768 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
4769 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
4770
4771 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
4772 [Steve Henson]
4773
4774 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
4775 few typos.
4776 [Steve Henson]
4777
4778 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
4779 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
4780 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
4781 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
4782
4783 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
4784 [Steve Henson]
4785
4786 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
4787 [Steve Henson]
4788
4789 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
4790 [Steve Henson]
4791
4792 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
4793 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
4794 [Steve Henson]
4795
4796 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
4797 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
4798 CA extensions.
4799 [Steve Henson]
4800
4801 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
4802 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
4803 [Steve Henson]
4804
4805 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
4806 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
4807 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
4808 [Steve Henson]
4809
4810 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
4811 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
4812 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
4813 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
4814 properly to be processed.
4815 [Steve Henson]
4816
4817 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
4818 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
4819 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
4820 [Ben Laurie]
4821
4822 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
4823 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
4824
4825 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
4826 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
4827 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
4828 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
4829 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
4830 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
4831 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
4832 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
4833 or delete all the .err files.
4834 [Steve Henson]
4835
4836 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
4837 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
4838 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
4839 to regenerate it if needed.
4840 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
4841 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
4842
4843 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
4844 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4845
4846 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
4847 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
4848 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
4849 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
4850 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
4851 [Steve Henson]
4852
4853 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
4854 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4855
4856 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
4857 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
4858
4859 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
4860 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
4861 error, but didn't set one).
4862 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
4863
4864 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
4865 [Ben Laurie]
4866
4867 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
4868 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
4869 [Steve Henson]
4870
4871 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
4872 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
4873
4874 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
4875 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
4876 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
4877 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
4878 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
4879 OID is not part of the table.
4880 [Steve Henson]
4881
4882 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
4883 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
4884 [Ben Laurie]
4885
4886 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
4887 [Ben Laurie]
4888
4889 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
4890 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
4891 was "1234").
4892 [Steve Henson]
4893
4894 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
4895 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
4896
4897 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
4898 NULL pointers.
4899 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
4900
4901 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
4902 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
4903
4904 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
4905 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
4906
4907 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
4908 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
4909
4910 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
4911 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
4912 [Ben Laurie]
4913
4914 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
4915 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
4916 [Steve Henson]
4917
4918 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
4919 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4920
4921 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
4922 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4923
4924 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
4925 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4926
4927 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
4928 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4929
4930 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
4931 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
4932 unused in the certificate verification process.
4933 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4934
4935 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
4936 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
4937 [Steve Henson]
4938
4939 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
4940 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
4941 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
4942
4943 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
4944 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
4945 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
4946 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
4947 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
4948
4949 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
4950 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
4951 [Steve Henson]
4952
4953 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
4954 [Steve Henson]
4955
4956 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
4957 [Paul Sutton]
4958
4959 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
4960 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
4961
4962 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
4963 [Ben Laurie]
4964
4965 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
4966 [Ben Laurie]
4967
4968 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
4969 [Ben Laurie]
4970
4971 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
4972 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
4973 other error libraries.
4974 [Steve Henson]
4975
4976 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
4977 [Steve Henson]
4978
4979 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
4980 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
4981 be read in.
4982 [Steve Henson]
4983
4984 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
4985 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
4986 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
4987 the new set of documenation files.
4988 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4989
4990 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
4991 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
4992 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
4993 number of arguments.
4994 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
4995
4996 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
4997 [Ben Laurie]
4998
4999 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
5000 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
5001 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5002
5003 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
5004 [Ben Laurie]
5005
5006 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
5007 nextstep
5008 ncr-scde
5009 unixware-2.0
5010 unixware-2.0-pentium
5011 sco5-cc.
5012 [Ben Laurie]
5013
5014 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
5015 before they are needed.
5016 [Ben Laurie]
5017
5018 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
5019 [Ben Laurie]
5020
5021
5022 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
5023
5024 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
5025 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
5026 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5027
5028 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
5029 [Paul Sutton]
5030
5031 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
5032 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
5033 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5034
5035 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
5036 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
5037 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
5038
5039 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
5040 when "ssleay" is still not found.
5041 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5042
5043 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
5044 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
5045
5046 *) Updated the README file.
5047 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5048
5049 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
5050 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
5051 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5052
5053 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
5054 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
5055 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5056
5057 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
5058 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
5059 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
5060 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
5061 o removed obsolete TODO file
5062 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
5063 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5064
5065 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
5066 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
5067 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
5068 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
5069 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
5070 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
5071 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5072
5073 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
5074 [Mark J. Cox]
5075
5076 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
5077 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
5078 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
5079 summer 1998.
5080 [The OpenSSL Project]
5081
5082
5083 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
5084
5085 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
5086 [Eric A. Young]
5087
5088 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
5089 [Eric A. Young]
5090
5091 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
5092 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
5093 [Eric A. Young]
5094
5095 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
5096 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
5097 available).
5098 [Eric A. Young]
5099
5100 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
5101 binary structures
5102 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
5103
5104 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
5105 [Eric A. Young]
5106
5107 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
5108 [Eric A. Young]
5109
5110 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
5111 [Eric A. Young]
5112
5113 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
5114 [Eric A. Young]
5115
5116 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
5117 [Eric A. Young]
5118
5119 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
5120 [Eric A. Young]
5121
5122 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
5123 [Eric A. Young]
5124
5125 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
5126 [Eric A. Young]
5127
5128 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
5129 [Eric A. Young]
5130
5131 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
5132 [Eric A. Young]
5133
5134 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
5135 [Eric A. Young]
5136
5137 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
5138 [Eric A. Young]
5139
5140 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
5141 [Eric A. Young]
5142
5143 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
5144 [Eric A. Young]
5145
5146 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
5147 [Eric A. Young]
5148
5149 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
5150 [Eric A. Young]
5151
5152 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
5153 [Eric A. Young]
5154
5155 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
5156 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
5157 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
5158 [Eric A. Young]
5159
5160 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
5161 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
5162 [Eric A. Young]
5163
5164 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
5165 [Eric A. Young]
5166
5167 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
5168 [Eric A. Young]
5169
5170 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
5171 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
5172 [Eric A. Young]
5173
5174 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
5175 [Eric A. Young]
5176
5177 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
5178 [Eric A. Young]
5179
5180 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
5181 bytes sent in the client random.
5182 [Edward Bishop <ebishop@spyglass.com>]
5183
