5 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [xx XXX 1999]
6
7 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
8 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
9 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
10 manpages and fix a few bugs.
11 [Steve Henson]
12
13 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
14 [Steve Henson]
15
16 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
17 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
18 [Steve Henson]
19
20 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
21 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
22 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
23 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
24 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
25 doing things this way a fair degree of compatability can be
26 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
27 using the new 'x509' options.
28
29 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
30 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
31 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
32 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
33 for all purposes.
34 [Steve Henson]
35
36 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD). The
37 problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working since
38 SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced with
39 non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95% performance
40 improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
41 [Mark Cox]
42
43 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
44 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
45 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
46 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
47 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
48 the effective key length. In this case the effective key lenth can still
49 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
50 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
51 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
52 the key length and effective key length are equal.
53 [Steve Henson]
54
55 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
56 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
57 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
58 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
59 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
60 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
61 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
62 [Steve Henson]
63
64 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
65 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
66 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
67 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
68 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
69 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
70 openssl.cnf for more info.
71 [Steve Henson]
72
73 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
74 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
75 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
76 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
77 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
78 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
79 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
80 md should be large enough anyway.
81 [Bodo Moeller]
82
83 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
84 for handling the random seed file.
85
86 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
87 ca,
88 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its `-rand' option),
89 s_client,
90 s_server,
91 x509 (when signing).
92 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
93 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
94 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
95
96 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
97 of each file listed in the `-rand' option. The function as previously
98 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
99 that support `-rand'.
100 [Bodo Moeller]
101
102 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
103 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
104 [Bodo Moeller]
105
106 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
107 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
108 [Bill Perry]
109
110 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
111 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
112 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
113 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
114 is suitable.
115 [Steve Henson]
116
117 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
118 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
119 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
120 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
121 [Steve Henson]
122
123 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
124 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
125 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
126 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
127 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
128 print out all the purposes.
129 [Steve Henson]
130
131 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
132 functions.
133 [Steve Henson]
134
135 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
136 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
137 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
138 single function call.
139 [Steve Henson]
140
141 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
142 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
143 [Andy Polyakov]
144
145 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
146 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
147 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
148 [Steve Henson]
149
150 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
151 when producing the local key id.
152 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
153
154 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
155 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
156 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
157 "server.pem".
158 [Steve Henson]
159
160 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
161 a public key to be input or output. For example:
162 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
163 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
164 [Steve Henson]
165
166 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
167 in the message. This was handled by allowing
168 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
169 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
170
171 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
172 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
173 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
174 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
175
176 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
177 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
178 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
179 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
180 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
181 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
182 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
183 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
184 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
185 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
186 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
187 trivial: move one line.
188 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
189
190 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
191 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
192 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
193 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
194 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
195 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
196 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
197 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
198 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
199 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
200 with an event loop for example.
201 [Steve Henson]
202
203 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
204 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
205 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
206 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
207 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
208 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
209 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
210 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
211 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
212 [Steve Henson]
213
214 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
215 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
216 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
217 no longer acesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
218 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
219 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
220 [Steve Henson]
221
222 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
223 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
224 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
225 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
226
227 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
228 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
229 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
230 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
231 key generation.
232 [Steve Henson]
233
234 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
235 (still largely untested)
236 [Bodo Moeller]
237
238 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
239 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
240 [Steve Henson]
241
242 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
243 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
244 [Steve Henson]
245
246 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
247 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
248 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
249 [Bodo Moeller]
250
251 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
252 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
253 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
254 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
255 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
256 [Steve Henson]
257
258 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
259 [Andy Polyakov]
260
261 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
262 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
263 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
264 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
265 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
266 in ca.
267 [Steve Henson]
268
269 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
270 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
271 1.OU="Unit name 1"
272 2.OU="Unit name 2"
273 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
274 [Steve Henson]
275
276 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
277 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
278 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
279 are otherwise ignored at present.
280 [Steve Henson]
281
282 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
283 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
284 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
285 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
286 copied until the next read.
287 [Steve Henson]
288
289 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
290 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
291 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
292 [Steve Henson]
293
294 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
295 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
296 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
297 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
298 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
299 associated functions.
300 [Steve Henson]
301
302 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
303 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
304 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
305 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
306 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
307 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
308 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
309 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
310 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
311 memory BIOSs.
312 [Steve Henson]
313
314 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
315 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
316 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
317 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
318 [Bodo Moeller]
319
320 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
321 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
322 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
323 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
324 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
325 functionality.
326 [Steve Henson]
327
328 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
329 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
330 under Win32.
331 [Steve Henson]
332
333 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
334 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
335 extensions to be obtained and added.
336 [Steve Henson]
337
338 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
339 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
340 [Bodo Moeller]
341
342 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
343
344 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
345 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
346
347 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
348 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
349
350 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
351 program.
352 [Steve Henson]
353
354 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
355 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
356 DH parameters contain its length).
357
358 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
359 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
360 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
361 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
362 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
363 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
364 utter importance to use
365 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
366 or
367 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
368 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
369 attacks may become possible!
370 [Bodo Moeller]
371
372 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
373 [Bodo Moeller]
374
375 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
376 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
377 [Steve Henson]
378
379 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
380 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
381 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
382 or long name.
383 [Steve Henson]
384
385 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
386 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
387 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
388 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
389 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
390 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
391 private key operations.
392 [Steve Henson]
393
394 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
395 [Andy Polyakov]
396
397 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
398 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
399 to
400 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
401 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
402 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
403 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
404 the password callback is called.
405 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
406
407 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
408
409 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
410 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
411 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
412 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
413 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
414 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
415 this will work.
416
417 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
418 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
419 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
420 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
421 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
422 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
423 [Bodo Moeller]
424
425 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
426 [Andy Polyakov]
427
428 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
429 delete an unused file.
430 [Ulf Möller]
431
432 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
433 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
434 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
435 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
436 [Steve Henson]
437
438 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
439 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
440 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
441 of an error.
442 [Bodo Moeller]
443
444 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
445 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
446 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
447
448 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
449 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
450 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
451 comparison" warnings.
452 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
453 [Steve Henson]
454
455 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
456 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
457 derived keys are printed to stderr.
458 [Steve Henson]
459
460 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
461 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
462
463 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
464 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
465
466 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
467 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
468 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
469
470 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
471 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
472 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
473 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
474 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
475 this bug.
476 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
477
478 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
479 The interface is as follows:
480 Applications can use
481 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
482 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
483 "off" is now the default.
484 The library internally uses
485 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
486 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
487 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
488
489 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
490 even the default) are now avoided.
491
492 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
493 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
494 than just having a counter.
495
496 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
497
498 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
499 extensions.
500 [Bodo Moeller]
501
502 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
503 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
504 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
505 Initial "mode" flags are:
506
507 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
508 a single record has been written.
509 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
510 retries use the same buffer location.
511 (But all of the contents must be
512 copied!)
513 [Bodo Moeller]
514
515 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_mode ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_mode
516 worked.
517
518 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
519 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
520
521 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
522 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
523 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
524 [Steve Henson]
525
526 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
527 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
528 test programs.
529 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
530
531 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
532 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
533 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
534 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
535 point to the end.
536 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
537 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
538
539 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
540 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
541 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
542 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
543 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
544 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
545 [Steve Henson]
546
547 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
548 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
549 necessary function names.
550 [Steve Henson]
551
552 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
553 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
554 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
555 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
556 [Bodo Moeller]
557
558 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
559 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
560 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
561 [Steve Henson]
562
563 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
564 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
565 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
566 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
567 such programs?)
568 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
569 need locks.
570 [Bodo Moeller]
571
572 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
573 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
574 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
575 [Bodo Moeller]
576
577 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
578 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
579 appropriate.
580 [Bodo Moeller]
581
582 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
583 for the encoded length.
584 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
585
586 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
587 [Steve Henson]
588
589 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
590 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
591 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
592 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
593 [Steve Henson]
594
595 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
596 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
597 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
598
599 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
600 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
601 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
602 unusual formatting.
603 [Steve Henson]
604
605 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
606 to use the new extension code.
607 [Steve Henson]
608
609 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
610 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
611 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
612 constant.
613 [Steve Henson]
614
615 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
616 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
617 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
618 [Bodo Moeller]
619
620 #if 0
621 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
622 [Ben Laurie]
623 #else
624 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
625 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
626 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
627 #endif
628
629 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
630 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
631 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
632 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
633 [Ben Laurie]
634
635 *) DES library cleanups.
636 [Ulf Möller]
637
638 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
639 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
640 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
641 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
642 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
643 of v2.0.
644 [Steve Henson]
645
646 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
647 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
648 [Bodo Moeller]
649
650 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
651 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
652 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
653 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
654 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
655 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
656 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
657 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
658 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
659 [Steve Henson]
660
661 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
662 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
663 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
664 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
665 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
666 value doesn't matter.
667 [Steve Henson]
668
669 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
670 support mutable.
671 [Ben Laurie]
672
673 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
674 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
675 "linux-sparc" configuration.
676 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
677
678 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
679 [Ulf Möller]
680
681 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
682 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
683 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
684
685 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
686 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
687
688 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
689 [Ben Laurie]
690
691 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
692 [Ben Laurie]
693
694 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
695 [Ben Laurie]
696
697 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
698 [Bodo Moeller]
699
700
701 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
702
703 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
704
705 *) Updated some demos.
706 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
707
708 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
709 [Wu Zhigang]
710
711 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
712 [Steve Henson]
713
714 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
715 [Steve Henson]
716
717 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
718 instead of using a fixed path.
719 [Bodo Moeller]
720
721 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
722 [Andy Polyakov]
723
724 *) Improvements for VMS support.
725 [Richard Levitte]
726
727
728 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
729
730 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
731 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
732 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
733
734 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
735 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
736 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
737 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
738 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
739 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
740 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
741 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
742 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
743 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
744 [Steve Henson]
745
746 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
747 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
748 [Steve Henson]
749
750 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
751 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
752 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
753 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
754 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
755
756 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
757 [Bodo Moeller]
758
759 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
760 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
761 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
762 [Steve Henson]
763
764 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
765 [Ben Laurie]
766
767 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
768 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
769 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
770 key elements as negative integers.
771 [Steve Henson]
772
773 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
774 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
775
776 *) VMS support.
777 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
778
779 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
780 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
781 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
782 [Steve Henson]
783
784 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
785 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
786 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
787 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
788 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
789 [Bodo Moeller]
790
791 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
792 [Ulf Möller]
793
794 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
795 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
796 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
797 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
798
799 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
800 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
801 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
802
803 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
804 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
805 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
806 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
807 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
808 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
809 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
810 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
811 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
812
813 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
814 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
815 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
816 does not influence s as it used to.
817
818 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
819 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
820 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
821 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
822 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
823 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
824 [Bodo Moeller]
825
826 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
827 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
828 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
829 key type.
830 [Steve Henson]
831
832 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
833 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
834 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
835 and 'x509').
836 [Steve Henson]
837
838 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
839 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
840 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
841 extension option.
842 [Steve Henson]
843
844 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
845 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
846 [Ben Laurie]
847
848 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
849 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
850
851 *) Support Mingw32.
852 [Ulf Möller]
853
854 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
855 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
856
857 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
858 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
859
860 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
861 [Ulf Möller]
862
863 *) Update HPUX configuration.
864 [Anonymous]
865
866 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
867 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
868
869 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
870 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
871 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
872 DER-encoded.)
873 [Bodo Moeller]
874
875 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
876 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
877 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
878 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
879 now it really counts the depth.
880 [Bodo Moeller]
881
882 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
883 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
884 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
885 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
886 didn't match the private key).
887
888 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
889 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
890 connection using the SSL_CTX).
891 [Bodo Moeller]
892
893 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
894 [Ulf Möller]
895
896 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
897 David Harris.
898 [Bodo Moeller]
899
900 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
901 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
902 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
903 [Bodo Moeller]
904
905 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
906 [Bodo Moeller]
907
908 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
909 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
910 such as /usr/local/bin.
911 [Bodo Moeller]
912
913 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
914 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
915
916 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
917 [Ulf Möller]
918
919 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
920 extension adding in x509 utility.
921 [Steve Henson]
922
923 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
924 [Ulf Möller]
925
926 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
927 prototypes.
928 [Steve Henson]
929
930 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
931 [Ulf Möller]
932
933 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
934 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
935 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
936 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
937 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
938 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
939 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
940 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
941 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
942 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
943 [Steve Henson]
944
945 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
946 [Bodo Moeller]
947
948 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
949 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
950 [Bodo Moeller]
951
952 *) Fix some race conditions.
953 [Bodo Moeller]
954
955 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
956 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
957 [Steve Henson]
958
959 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
960 [Ulf Möller]
961
962 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
963 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
964 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
965 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
966
967 *) Fix lots of warnings.
968 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
969
970 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
971 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
972 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
973
974 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
975 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
976
977 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
978 [Ulf Möller]
979
980 *) Fix typos in error codes.
981 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
982
983 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
984 [Ulf Möller]
985
986 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
987 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
988
989 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
990 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
991 [Steve Henson]
992
993 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
994 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
995 [Ben Laurie]
996
997 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
998 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
999 [Steve Henson]
1000
1001 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
1002 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
1003 [Steve Henson]
1004
1005 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
1006 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
1007 [Steve Henson]
1008
1009 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
1010 support typesafe stack.
1011 [Steve Henson]
1012
1013 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
1014 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
1015
1016 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
1017 old X509V3 handling code.
1018 [Steve Henson]
1019
1020 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
1021 [Ulf Möller]
1022
1023 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
1024 [Bodo Moeller]
1025
1026 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
1027 [Ben Laurie]
1028
1029 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
1030 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
1031
1032 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
1033 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
1034 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
1035 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
1036 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
1037 [Ben Laurie]
1038
1039 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
1040 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
1041 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
1042 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
1043 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
1044
1045 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
1046 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
1047 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
1048 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1049
1050 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
1051 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
1052 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
1053 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1054
1055 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
1056 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
1057 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
1058 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
1059 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
1060 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
1061 [Bodo Moeller]
1062
1063 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
1064 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
1065 [Bodo Moeller]
1066
1067 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
1068 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
1069 [Ulf Möller]
1070
1071 *) Tweaks to Configure
1072 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
1073
1074 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
1075 yet...
1076 [Steve Henson]
1077
1078 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
1079 [Ulf Möller]
1080
1081 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
1082 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
1083 [Ulf Möller]
1084
1085 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
1086 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
1087 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
1088 [Bodo Moeller]
1089
1090 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
1091 [Bodo Moeller]
1092
1093 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
1094 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
1095 [Steve Henson]
1096
1097 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
1098 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
1099 to library startup routines.
1100 [Steve Henson]
1101
1102 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
1103 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
1104 codes along the way.
1105 [Steve Henson]
1106
1107 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
1108 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
1109 objects to objects.h
1110 [Steve Henson]
1111
1112 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
1113 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
1114 [Steve Henson]
1115
1116 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
1117 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
1118
1119 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
1120 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
1121 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
1122
1123 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
1124 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
1125 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
1126
1127 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
1128 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
1129 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
1130
1131
1132 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
1133
1134 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
1135 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
1136 [Ben Laurie]
1137
1138 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
1139 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
1140 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
1141 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
1142 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
1143
1144 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
1145 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
1146 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
1147 document.
1148 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
1149
1150 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
1151 Malloc, Free.
1152 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
1153
1154 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
1155 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
1156
1157 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
1158 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
1159 if someone would make that last step automatic.
1160 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
1161
1162 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
1163 [Ben Laurie]
1164
1165 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
1166 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
1167 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
1168 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
1169 [Steve Henson]
1170
1171 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
1172 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
1173 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
1174 [Steve Henson]
1175
1176 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
1177 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
1178 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
1179 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
1180 installed as `perl').
1181 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
1182
1183 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
1184 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
1185
1186 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
1187 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
1188 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
1189 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
1190 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
1191 [Steve Henson]
1192
1193 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
1194 [Ben Laurie]
1195
1196 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
1197 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
1198 is horrible: I feel ill....
1199 [Steve Henson]
1200
1201 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
1202 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
1203 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
1204 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
1205 [Steve Henson]
1206
1207 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
1208 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1209
1210 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
1211 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
1212 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
1213 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1214
1215 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
1216 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
1217 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
1218 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
1219 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
1220 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
1221 openssl_bio.xs.
1222 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1223
1224 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
1225 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
1226
1227 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
1228 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
1229
1230 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
1231 [Ben Laurie]
1232
1233 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
1234 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
1235 in CRLs.
1236 [Steve Henson]
1237
1238 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
1239 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
1240 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
1241 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
1242 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
1243 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
1244 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
1245 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
1246 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
1247 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
1248 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1249
1250 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
1251 [Ben Laurie]
1252
1253 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
1254 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
1255 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
1256 for linking it into DSOs.
1257 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1258
1259 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
1260 Fixed.
1261 [Ben Laurie]
1262
1263 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
1264 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
1265 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
1266 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
1267 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
1268 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1269
1270 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
1271 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
1272 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
1273 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
1274 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
1275 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
1276 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1277
1278 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
1279 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
1280 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
1281 encryption.
1282 [Ben Laurie]
1283
1284 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
1285 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
1286 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
1287 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
1288 [Steve Henson]
1289
1290 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
1291 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
1292 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
1293 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
1294 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
1295 field as blank.
1296 [Steve Henson]
1297
1298 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
1299 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
1300 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
1301 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
1302 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1303
1304 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
1305 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
1306 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
1307
1308 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
1309 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
1310
1311 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
1312 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
1313 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
1314 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
1315 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
1316 [Steve Henson]
1317
1318 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
1319 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
1320 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
1321 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
1322 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
1323 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
1324 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
1325 [Ben Laurie]
1326
1327 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
1328 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
1329 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
1330 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
1331 [Ben Laurie]
1332
1333 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
1334 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
1335
1336 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
1337 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
1338 [Steve Henson]
1339
1340 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
1341 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
1342 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
1343 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
1344 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
1345 (e.g. s_server).
1346 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
1347 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
1348 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
1349 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
1350 no way to reconfigure them.
1351 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
1352 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
1353 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
1354 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
1355 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
1356 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1357
1358 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
1359 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
1360 recognized by the users.
1361 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1362
1363 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
1364 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
1365 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
1366 already masked variable.
1367 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
1368
1369 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
1370 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
1371
1372 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
1373 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
1374 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
1375 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
1376
1377 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
1378 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
1379 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1380
1381 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
1382 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
1383 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
1384 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
1385 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
1386 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
1387 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
1388 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
1389 now, too.
1390 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1391
1392 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
1393 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
1394 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
1395
1396 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
1397 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
1398 config file.
1399 [Steve Henson]
1400
1401 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
1402 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
1403
1404 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
1405 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
1406 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
1407 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
1408 [Ben Laurie]
1409
1410 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
1411 [Steve Henson]
1412
1413 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
1414 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
1415
1416 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
1417 [Ben Laurie]
1418
1419 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
1420 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
1421 [Steve Henson]
1422
1423 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
1424 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
1425 [Steve Henson]
1426
1427 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
1428 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
1429 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
1430 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
1431 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
1432 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
1433 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
1434 Ben Laurie]
1435
1436 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
1437 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
1438
1439 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
1440 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
1441 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
1442 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
1443 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
1444
1445 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
1446 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
1447 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
1448 [Steve Henson]
1449
1450 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
1451 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
1452 an example.
1453 [Steve Henson]
1454
1455 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
1456 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
1457 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
1458
1459 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
1460 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
1461 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
1462 build instructions.
1463 [Steve Henson]
1464
1465 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
1466 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
1467 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
1468 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
1469 [Steve Henson]
1470
1471 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
1472 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
1473 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
1474 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
1475 [Ben Laurie]
1476
1477 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
1478 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
1479 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
1480 so it wasn't spotted.
1481 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
1482
1483 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
1484 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
1485 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
1486 vectors if you have them.
1487 [Ben Laurie]
1488
1489 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
1490 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
1491 [Ben Laurie]
1492
1493 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
1494 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
1495 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
1496 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
1497 If you do a:
1498 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
1499 it will update them.
1500 [Steve Henson]
1501
1502 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
1503 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
1504 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
1505 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
1506 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
1507 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
1508 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
1509 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1510
1511 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
1512 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
1513 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
1514 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
1515 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
1516 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
1517 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
1518 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
1519 the crypto/md/ stuff).
1520 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1521
1522 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
1523 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
1524 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
1525 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
1526 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
1527 [Steve Henson]
1528
1529 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
1530 INTEGER code.
1531 [Steve Henson]
1532
1533 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
1534 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
1535
1536 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
1537 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
1538
1539 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
1540 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
1541 [Ben Laurie]
1542
1543 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
1544 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
1545
1546 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
1547 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
1548
1549 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
1550 [Steve Henson]
1551
1552 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
1553 few typos.
1554 [Steve Henson]
1555
1556 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
1557 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
1558 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
1559 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
1560
1561 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
1562 [Steve Henson]
1563
1564 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
1565 [Steve Henson]
1566
1567 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
1568 [Steve Henson]
1569
1570 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
1571 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
1572 [Steve Henson]
1573
1574 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
1575 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
1576 CA extensions.
1577 [Steve Henson]
1578
1579 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
1580 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
1581 [Steve Henson]
1582
1583 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
1584 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
1585 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
1586 [Steve Henson]
1587
1588 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
1589 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
1590 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
1591 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
1592 properly to be processed.
1593 [Steve Henson]
1594
1595 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
1596 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
1597 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
1598 [Ben Laurie]
1599
1600 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
1601 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
1602
1603 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
1604 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
1605 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
1606 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
1607 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
1608 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
1609 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
1610 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
1611 or delete all the .err files.
1612 [Steve Henson]
1613
1614 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
1615 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
1616 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
1617 to regenerate it if needed.
1618 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
1619 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
1620
1621 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
1622 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
1623
1624 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
1625 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
1626 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
1627 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
1628 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
1629 [Steve Henson]
1630
1631 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
1632 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
1633
1634 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
1635 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
1636
1637 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
1638 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
1639 error, but didn't set one).
1640 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
1641
1642 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
1643 [Ben Laurie]
1644
1645 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
1646 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
1647 [Steve Henson]
1648
1649 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
1650 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
1651
1652 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
1653 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
1654 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
1655 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
1656 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
1657 OID is not part of the table.
1658 [Steve Henson]
1659
1660 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
1661 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
1662 [Ben Laurie]
1663
1664 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
1665 [Ben Laurie]
1666
1667 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
1668 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
1669 was "1234").
1670 [Steve Henson]
1671
1672 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
1673 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
1674
1675 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
1676 NULL pointers.
1677 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
1678
1679 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
1680 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
1681
1682 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
1683 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
1684
1685 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
1686 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
1687
1688 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
1689 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
1690 [Ben Laurie]
1691
1692 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
1693 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
1694 [Steve Henson]
1695
1696 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
1697 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
1698
1699 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
1700 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
1701
1702 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
1703 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
1704
1705 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
1706 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
1707
1708 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
1709 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
1710 unused in the certificate verification process.
1711 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1712
1713 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
1714 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
1715 [Steve Henson]
1716
1717 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
1718 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
1719 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
1720
1721 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
1722 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
1723 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
1724 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
1725 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
1726
1727 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
1728 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
1729 [Steve Henson]
1730
1731 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
1732 [Steve Henson]
1733
1734 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
1735 [Paul Sutton]
1736
1737 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
1738 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
1739
1740 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
1741 [Ben Laurie]
1742
1743 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
1744 [Ben Laurie]
1745
1746 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
1747 [Ben Laurie]
1748
1749 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
1750 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
1751 other error libraries.
1752 [Steve Henson]
1753
1754 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
1755 [Steve Henson]
1756
1757 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
1758 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
1759 be read in.
1760 [Steve Henson]
1761
1762 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
1763 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
1764 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
1765 the new set of documenation files.
1766 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1767
1768 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
1769 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
1770 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
1771 number of arguments.
1772 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
1773
1774 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
1775 [Ben Laurie]
1776
1777 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
1778 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
1779 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
1780
1781 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
1782 [Ben Laurie]
1783
1784 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
1785 nextstep
1786 ncr-scde
1787 unixware-2.0
1788 unixware-2.0-pentium
1789 sco5-cc.
1790 [Ben Laurie]
1791
1792 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
1793 before they are needed.
1794 [Ben Laurie]
1795
1796 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
1797 [Ben Laurie]
1798
1799
1800 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
1801
1802 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
1803 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
1804 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1805
1806 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
1807 [Paul Sutton]
1808
1809 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
1810 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
1811 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1812
1813 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
1814 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
1815 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
1816
1817 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
1818 when "ssleay" is still not found.
1819 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1820
1821 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
1822 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
1823
1824 *) Updated the README file.
1825 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1826
1827 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
1828 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
1829 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1830
1831 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
1832 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
1833 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1834
1835 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
1836 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
1837 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
1838 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
1839 o removed obsolete TODO file
1840 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
1841 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1842
1843 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
1844 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
1845 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
1846 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
1847 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
1848 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
1849 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1850
1851 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
1852 [Mark J. Cox]
1853
1854 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
1855 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
1856 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
1857 summer 1998.
1858 [The OpenSSL Project]
1859
1860
1861 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
1862
1863 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
1864 [Eric A. Young]
1865
1866 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
1867 [Eric A. Young]
1868
1869 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
1870 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
1871 [Eric A. Young]
1872
1873 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
1874 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
1875 available).
1876 [Eric A. Young]
1877
1878 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
1879 binary structures
1880 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
1881
1882 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
1883 [Eric A. Young]
1884
1885 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
1886 [Eric A. Young]
1887
1888 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
1889 [Eric A. Young]
1890
1891 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
1892 [Eric A. Young]
1893
1894 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
1895 [Eric A. Young]
1896
1897 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
1898 [Eric A. Young]
1899
1900 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
1901 [Eric A. Young]
1902
1903 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
1904 [Eric A. Young]
1905
1906 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
1907 [Eric A. Young]
1908
1909 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
1910 [Eric A. Young]
1911
1912 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
1913 [Eric A. Young]
1914
1915 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
1916 [Eric A. Young]
1917
1918 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
1919 [Eric A. Young]
1920
1921 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
1922 [Eric A. Young]
1923
1924 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
1925 [Eric A. Young]
1926
1927 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
1928 [Eric A. Young]
1929
1930 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
1931 [Eric A. Young]
1932
1933 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
1934 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
1935 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
1936 [Eric A. Young]
1937
1938 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
1939 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
1940 [Eric A. Young]
1941
1942 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
1943 [Eric A. Young]
1944
1945 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
1946 [Eric A. Young]
1947
1948 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
1949 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
1950 [Eric A. Young]
1951
1952 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
1953 [Eric A. Young]
1954
1955 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
1956 [Eric A. Young]
1957
1958 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
1959 bytes sent in the client random.
1960 [Edward Bishop <ebishop@spyglass.com>]
1961
