3 _______________
4
5 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
8 with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
9 The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
10 in OpenSSL 1.2.0.
11 [Richard Levitte]
12
13 *) Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
14 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
15 [Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov]
16
17 *) Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
18 does for RSA, etc.
19 [Richard Levitte]
20
21 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
22 platform rather than 'mingw'.
23 [Richard Levitte]
24
25 *) The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
26 success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
27 in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
28 certificates and CRLs.
29 [Paul Dale]
30
31 *) x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
32 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
33 [Andy Polyakov]
34
35 *) Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
36 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
37 [Richard Levitte]
38
39 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
40 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
41 which is the minimum version we support.
42 [Richard Levitte]
43
44 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
45 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
46 are no longer allowed.
47 [Emilia Käsper]
48
49 *) Add support for ARIA
50 [Paul Dale]
51
52 *) Add support for SipHash
53 [Todd Short]
54
55 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
56 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
57 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
58 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
59 [Matt Caswell]
60
61 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
62 using the algorithm defined in
63 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
64 [Richard Levitte]
65
66 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
67 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
68
69 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
70 [Emilia Käsper]
71
72 *) The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid patent
73 issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.
74 [Rich Salz]
75
76 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
77
78 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
79
80 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
81 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
82 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
83 and servers are affected.
84
85 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
86 (CVE-2017-3733)
87 [Matt Caswell]
88
89 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
90
91 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
92
93 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
94 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
95 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
96
97 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
98 (CVE-2017-3731)
99 [Andy Polyakov]
100
101 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
102
103 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
104 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
105 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
106 of Service attack.
107
108 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
109 (CVE-2017-3730)
110 [Matt Caswell]
111
112 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
113
114 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
115 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
116 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
117 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
118 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
119 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
120 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
121 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
122 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
123 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
124 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
125 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
126 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
127
128 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
129 (CVE-2017-3732)
130 [Andy Polyakov]
131
132 Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
133
134 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
135
136 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
137 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
138 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
139
140 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
141 (CVE-2016-7054)
142 [Richard Levitte]
143
144 *) CMS Null dereference
145
146 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
147 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
148 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
149 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
150 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
151 affected.
152
153 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
154 (CVE-2016-7053)
155 [Stephen Henson]
156
157 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
158
159 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
160 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
161 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
162 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
163 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
164 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
165 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
166 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
167 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
168 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
169 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
170 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
171 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
172 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
173
174 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
175 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
176 providing reproducible case.
177 (CVE-2016-7055)
178 [Andy Polyakov]
179
180 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
181 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
182 [Richard Levitte]
183
184 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
185
186 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
187
188 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
189 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
190 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
191 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
192 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
193 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
194
195 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
196
197 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
198 (CVE-2016-6309)
199 [Matt Caswell]
200
201 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
202
203 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
204
205 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
206 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
207 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
208 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
209 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
210 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
211 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
212
213 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
214 (CVE-2016-6304)
215 [Matt Caswell]
216
217 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
218
219 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
220 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
221 Denial Of Service attack.
222
223 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
224 (CVE-2016-6305)
225 [Matt Caswell]
226
227 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
228 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
229
230 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
231 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
232 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
233 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
234 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
235 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
236 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
237 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
238 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
239 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
240 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
241 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
242 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
243 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
244 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
245
246 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
247 that the connection fails
248 or
249 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
250 very little free memory
251 or
252 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
253 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
254 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
255 memory to service the multiple requests.
256
257 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
258 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
259 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
260 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
261 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.
262
263 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
264 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
265 [Matt Caswell]
266
267 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
268 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
269 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
270 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
271 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
272 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
273 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
274 [Andy Polyakov]
275
276 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
277
278 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
279 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
280 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
281 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
282 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
283 non-ASCII password.
284 [Andy Polyakov]
285
286 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
287 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
288 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
289 [Rich Salz]
290
291 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
292 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
293 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
294 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
295 [Matt Caswell]
296
297 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
298 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
299 success.
300 [Matt Caswell]
301
302 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
303 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
304 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
305 no-ops and deprecated.
306 [Matt Caswell]
307
308 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
309 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
310 were also closed.
311 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
312
313 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
314 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
315 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
316 [Rich Salz]
317
318 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
319 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
320 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
321 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
322 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
323 and the validity of object reference counter.
324 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
325
326 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
327 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
328 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
329 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
330 [Richard Levitte]
331
332 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
333 [Richard Levitte]
334
335 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
336 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
337 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
338 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
339
340 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
341
342 [Richard Levitte]
343
344 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
345 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
346 [Steve Henson]
347
348 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
349 [Andy Polyakov]
350
351 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
352 [Rich Salz]
353
354 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
355 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
356 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
357 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
358 name and is used as is.
359 [Richard Levitte]
360
361 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
362 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
363 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
364 [Rich Salz]
365
366 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
367 the "no-shared" Configure option.
368 [Matt Caswell]
369
370 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
371 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
372 algorithms.
373 [Matt Caswell]
374
375 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
376 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
377 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
378 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
379 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
380 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
381 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
382 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
383 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
384 [Matt Caswell]
385
386 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
387 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
388 enabled with '--debug' builds.
389 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
390
391 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
392 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
393 these have been added.
394 [Matt Caswell]
395
396 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
397 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
398 functions for managing these have been added.
399 [Richard Levitte]
400
401 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
402 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
403 these have been added.
404 [Matt Caswell]
405
406 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
407 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
408 have been added.
409 [Matt Caswell]
410
411 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
412 [Matt Caswell]
413
414 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
415 [Richard Levitte]
416
417 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
418 it is always safe to #include a header now.
419 [Rich Salz]
420
421 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
422 [Richard Levitte]
423
424 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
425 [Rich Salz]
426
427 *) Add support for HKDF.
428 [Alessandro Ghedini]
429
430 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
431 [Bill Cox]
432
433 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
434 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
435 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
436 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
437 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
438 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
439 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
440 [Matt Caswell]
441
442 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
443 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
444 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
445 [Catriona Lucey]
446
447 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
448 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
449 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
450 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
451 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
452 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
453 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
454
455 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
456 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
457 [Todd Short]
458
459 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
460 [Todd Short]
461
462 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
463 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
464 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
465 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
466 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
467 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
468 default cipherlist.
469 [Emilia Käsper]
470
471 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
472 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
473 [Rich Salz]
474
475 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
476 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
477 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
478 [Matt Caswell]
479
480 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
481 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
482 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
483 implemented by other servers.
484 [Emilia Käsper]
485
486 *) Add X25519 support.
487 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
488 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
489 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
490 key generation and key derivation.
491
492 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
493 X25519(29).
494 [Steve Henson]
495
496 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
497 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
498 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
499 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
500 seed, even if the seed is configured.
501
502 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
503 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
504 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
505 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
506 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
507 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
508 that of a valid user.
509 [Emilia Käsper]
510
511 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
512 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
513 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
514 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
515
516 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
517 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
518
519 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
520 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
521 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
522 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
523
524 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
525 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
526 irrelevant.
527 [Richard Levitte]
528
529 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
530 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
531 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
532 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
533 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
534 of how OpenSSL was configured.
535
536 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
537 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
538 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
539 [Richard Levitte]
540
541 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
542 [Rich Salz]
543
544 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
545 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
546 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
547 removed.
548 [Richard Levitte]
549
550 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
551 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
552 old #define's might need to be updated.
553 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
554
555 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
556 [Rich Salz]
557
558 *) New "unified" build system
559
560 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
561 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
562
563 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
564 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
565 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
566
567 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
568 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
569 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
570 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
571 descrip.mms.tmpl.
572
573 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
574 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
575 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
576 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
577 libraries" in INSTALL.
578
579 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
580 [Richard Levitte]
581
582 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
583 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
584 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
585 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
586 [Matt Caswell]
587
588 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
589 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
590
591 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
592 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
593 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
594 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
595 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
596 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
597 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
598 have been adapted accordingly.
599 [Richard Levitte]
600
601 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
602 the leading 0-byte.
603 [Emilia Käsper]
604
605 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
606 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
607 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
608 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
609 [Emilia Käsper]
610
611 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
612 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
613 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
614 'unsigned char*'.
615 [Emilia Käsper]
616
617 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
618 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
619 [Emilia Käsper]
620
621 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
622 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
623 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
624 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
625 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
626 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
627 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
628
629 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
630 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
631
632 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
633 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
634 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
635 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
636 Text::Template.
637
638 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
639 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
640 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
641 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
642 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
643 %target).
644 [Richard Levitte]
645
646 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
647 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
648 straightforward and less interdependent.
649
650 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
651 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
652 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
653
654 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
655 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
656 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
657 installed.
658 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
659 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
660 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
661 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
662
663 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
664 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
665 [Richard Levitte]
666
667 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
668 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
669 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
670 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
671 is present).
672 [Matt Caswell]
673
674 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
675 configuring.
676 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
677
678 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
679 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
680 before trying to build now.*
681 [Rich Salz]
682
683 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
684 has changed.
685 [Rich Salz]
686
687 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
688
689 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
690 the application's responsibility. The application provides
691 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
692 used to authenticate the peer.
693
694 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
695 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
696 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
697 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
698 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
699 [Viktor Dukhovni]
700
701 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
702 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
703 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
704 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
705 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
706 or the 1.1.0 releases.
707
708 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
709 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
710 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
711 support for the deprecated features from the library and
712 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
713 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
714 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
715 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
716 version.
717
718 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
719 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
720 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
721 compile with later releases.
722
723 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
724 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
725 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
726 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
727 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
728 [Viktor Dukhovni]
729
730 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
731 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
732 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
733 MaxProtcol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
734 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
735 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
736 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
737 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
738 [Kurt Roeckx]
739
740 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
741 [Andy Polyakov]
742
743 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
744 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
745 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
746 ECDSA_SIG format.
747
748 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
749 include the ec.h header file instead.
750 [Steve Henson]
751
752 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
753 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
754 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
755 [Kurt Roeckx]
756
757 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
758 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
759 were added:
760
761 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
762 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
763
764 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
765 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
766 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
767
768 Additional changes:
769 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
770 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
771 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
772 an already created structure.
773 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
774 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
775 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
776 for deprecated builds.
777 [Richard Levitte]
778
779 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
780 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
781 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
782 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
783 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
784 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
785 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
786 [Matt Caswell]
787
788 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
789 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
790 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
791 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
792 [Kurt Roeckx]
793
794 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
795 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
796 [Kurt Roeckx]
797
798 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
799 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
800 [Kurt Roeckx]
801
802 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
803 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
804 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
805 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
806 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
807 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
808 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
809 also been removed.
810 [Matt Caswell]
811
812 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
813 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
814 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
815 [Rich Salz]
816
817 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
818 [Rich Salz]
819
820 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
821 sureware and ubsec.
822 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
823
824 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
825
826 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
827 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
828
829 FOO *x;
830
831 it must be:
832
833 FOO x;
834
835 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
836 set a mandatory field to NULL.
837
838 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
839 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
840 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
841 SEQUENCE OF.
842 [Steve Henson]
843
844 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
845 [Emilia Käsper]
846
847 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
848 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
849 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
850 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
851 [Matt Caswell]
852
853 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
854 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
855 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
856 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
857 [Emilia Käsper]
858
859 *) Fix no-stdio build.
860 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
861 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
862
863 *) New testing framework
864 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
865 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
866 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
867 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
868 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
869 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
870
871 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
872
873 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
874 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
875
876 [Richard Levitte]
877
878 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
879 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
880 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
881 and others were changed. All are now documented.
882 [Rich Salz]
883
884 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
885 return an error
886 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
887
888 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
889 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
890
891 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
892 original RSA_PSK patch.
893 [Steve Henson]
894
895 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
896 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
897 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
898 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
899 [Matt Caswell]
900
901 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
902 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
903 [Richard Levitte]
904
905 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
906 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
907 hasn't been working properly for a while.
908 [Emilia Käsper]
909
910 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
911 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
912 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
913 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
914 transferred.
915 [Matt Caswell]
916
917 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
918 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
919 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
920 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
921 [Matt Caswell]
922
923 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
924 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
925 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
926 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
927 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
928 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
929 [Matt Caswell]
930
931 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
932 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
933 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
934 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
935 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
936 header file has been removed.
937 [Matt Caswell]
938
939 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
940 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
941 [Matt Caswell]
942
943 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
944 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
945 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
946
947 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
948 Added a test.
949 [Rich Salz]
950
951 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
952 [Rich Salz]
953
954 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
955 sha256
956 [Rich Salz]
957
958 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
959 [Matt Caswell]
960
961 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
962 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
963 initial patch which was a great help during development.
964 [Steve Henson]
965
966 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
967 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
968 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
969 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
970 [Matt Caswell]
971
972 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
973 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
974 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
975 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
976 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
977 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
978 [Matt Caswell]
979
980 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
981 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
982 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
983 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
984 [Matt Caswell]
985
986 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
987 compatible client hello.
988 [Kurt Roeckx]
989
990 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
991 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
992 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
993
994 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
995 [Rich Salz]
996
997 *) Removed old DES API.
998 [Rich Salz]
999
1000 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
1001 Sony NEWS4
1002 BEOS and BEOS_R5
1003 NeXT
1004 SUNOS
1005 MPE/iX
1006 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
1007 DGUX
1008 NCR
1009 Tandem
1010 Cray
1011 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
1012 [Rich Salz]
1013
1014 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
1015 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
1016 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
1017 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
1018 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
1019 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
1020 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
1021 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
1022 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
1023 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
1024 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
1025 [Rich Salz]
1026
1027 *) Cleaned up dead code
1028 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
1029 [Rich Salz]
1030
1031 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
1032 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
1033 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
1034 [Rich Salz]
1035
1036 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
1037 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
1038 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
1039 [Rich Salz]
1040
1041 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
1042 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
1043 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
1044
1045 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
1046 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
1047 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
1048
1049 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1050 compilation flags.
1051 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1052
1053 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1054 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
1055 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1056
1057 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1058 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1059
1060 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1061 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1062 server.
1063
1064 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1065 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1066 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1067 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1068
1069 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1070 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1071 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1072 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1073
1074 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1075 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1076 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1077
1078 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1079 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1080 [Steve Henson]
1081
1082 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
1083
1084 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
1085 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
1086
1087 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
1088 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
1089
1090 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
1091 effect.
1092
1093 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
1094
1095 [Steve Henson]
1096
1097 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1098 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1099 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1100 algorithms and include tests cases.
1101 [Steve Henson]
1102
1103 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
1104 enveloped data.
1105 [Steve Henson]
1106
1107 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1108 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1109 [Steve Henson]
1110
1111 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1112 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1113
1114 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
1115 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
1116 [Steve Henson]
1117
1118 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
1119 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
1120 failures.
1121 [Steve Henson]
1122
1123 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
1124 sign or verify all in one operation.
1125 [Steve Henson]
1126
1127 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
1128 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
1129 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
1130 [Steve Henson]
1131
1132 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
1133 [Steve Henson]
1134
1135 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
1136 [Steve Henson]
1137
1138 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
1139 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
1140 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
1141 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
1142 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
1143 [Steve Henson]
1144
1145 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
1146 based on NID.
1147 [Steve Henson]
1148
1149 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
1150 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
1151 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
1152 [Steve Henson]
1153
1154 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
1155 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
1156
1157 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
1158 POST to handle HMAC cases.
1159 [Steve Henson]
1160
1161 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
1162 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
1163 [Steve Henson]
1164
1165 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
1166 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
1167 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1168 [Steve Henson]
1169
1170 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
1171 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
1172 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
1173 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
1174 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
1175 requested amount of entropy.
1176 [Steve Henson]
1177
1178 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
1179 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
1180 [Steve Henson]
1181
1182 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
1183 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
1184 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
1185 support.
1186 [Steve Henson]
1187
1188 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
1189 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
1190 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
1191 [Steve Henson]
1192
1193 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
1194 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
1195 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
1196 will never use XTS mode.
1197 [Steve Henson]
1198
1199 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
1200 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
1201 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
1202 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
1203 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
1204 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
1205 [Steve Henson]
1206
1207 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
1208 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
1209 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
1210 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
1211 [Steve Henson]
1212
1213 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
1214 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
1215 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
1216 [Steve Henson]
1217
1218 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
1219 [Steve Henson]
1220
1221 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
1222 [Steve Henson]
1223
1224 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
1225 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
1226 [Steve Henson]
1227
1228 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
1229 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
1230 [Steve Henson]
1231
1232 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
1233 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
1234 [Steve Henson]
1235
1236 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
1237 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
1238 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
1239 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
1240 and rename any affected symbols.
1241 [Steve Henson]
1242
1243 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
1244 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
1245 [Steve Henson]
1246
1247 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
1248 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
1249 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
1250 [Steve Henson]
1251
1252 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1253 [Steve Henson]
1254
1255 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
1256 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
1257 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
1258 [Steve Henson]
1259
1260 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
1261 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
1262 [Steve Henson]
1263
1264 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
1265 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
1266 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
1267 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
1268 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
1269 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
1270 set before the key.
1271 [Steve Henson]
1272
1273 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
1274 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
1275 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
1276 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
1277 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
1278 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
1279 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
1280 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
1281 [Steve Henson]
1282
1283 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
1284 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
1285 [Steve Henson]
1286
1287 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
1288
1289 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1290 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1291
1292 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
1293 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
1294 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
1295 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
1296 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
1297 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
1298
1299 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
1300 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
1301 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
1302 security.
1303 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1304
1305 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
1306 parameters by name.
1307 [Steve Henson]
1308
1309 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
1310 Add CMAC pkey methods.
1311 [Steve Henson]
1312
1313 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
1314 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
1315 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
1316 [Steve Henson]
1317
1318 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
1319 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
1320 multi-process servers.
1321 [Steve Henson]
1322
1323 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
1324 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
1325 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
1326 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
1327 RAND_METHOD structure.
1328 [Steve Henson]
1329
1330 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
1331 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
1332 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
1333 whose return value is often ignored.
1334 [Steve Henson]
1335
1336 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
1337 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
1338 validated when establishing a connection.
1339 [Rob Percival <robpercival@google.com>]

1341 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
1342
1343 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
1344
1345 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
1346 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
1347 AES-NI.
1348
1349 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
1350 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
1351 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
1352 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
1353 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
1354 bytes.
1355
1356 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
1357 (CVE-2016-2107)
1358 [Kurt Roeckx]
1359
1360 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
1361
1362 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
1363 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
1364 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
1365 corruption.
1366
1367 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
1368 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
1369 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
1370 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
1371 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
1372 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
1373
1374 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1375 (CVE-2016-2105)
1376 [Matt Caswell]
1377
1378 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
1379
1380 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
1381 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
1382 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
1383 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
1384 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
1385 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
1386 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
1387 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
1388 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
1389 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
1390 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
1391 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
1392 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
1393 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
1394 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
1395 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
1396
1397 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1398 (CVE-2016-2106)
1399 [Matt Caswell]
1400
1401 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
1402
1403 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
1404 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
1405 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
1406
1407 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
1408 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
1409 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
1410 applications are not affected.
1411
1412 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
1413 (CVE-2016-2109)
1414 [Stephen Henson]
1415
1416 *) EBCDIC overread
1417
1418 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
1419 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
1420 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
1421
1422 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1423 (CVE-2016-2176)
1424 [Matt Caswell]
1425
1426 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1427 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1428 [Todd Short]
1429
1430 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
1431 default.
1432 [Kurt Roeckx]
1433
1434 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
1435 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
1436 [Kurt Roeckx]
1437
1438 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
1439
1440 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
1441 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
1442 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
1443 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1444
1445 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
1446 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
1447 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
1448 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
1449 will need to explicitly call either of:
1450
1451 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1452 or
1453 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1454
1455 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
1456 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
1457 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
1458 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
1459 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
1460 (CVE-2016-0800)
1461 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1462
1463 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
1464
1465 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
1466 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
1467 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
1468 considered rare.
1469
1470 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
1471 libFuzzer.
1472 (CVE-2016-0705)
1473 [Stephen Henson]
1474
1475 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
1476
1477 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
1478
1479 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1480 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
1481 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
1482 is configured.
1483
1484 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1485 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1486 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1487 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1488 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1489 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1490 that of a valid user.
1491 (CVE-2016-0798)
1492 [Emilia Käsper]
1493
1494 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
1495
1496 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
1497 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
1498 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
1499 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
1500 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
1501 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
1502 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
1503 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
1504 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
1505 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
1506 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
1507
1508 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
1509 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
1510 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
1511 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
1512 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.

1515 (CVE-2016-0797)
1516 [Matt Caswell]
1517
1518 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
1519
1520 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
1521 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
1522 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
1523
1524 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
1525 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
1526 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
1527 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
1528 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
1529 also occur.
1530
1531 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
1532 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
1533 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
1534 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
1535 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
1536 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
1537 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
1538 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
1539 as command line arguments.
1540
1541 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
1542 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
1543 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
1544
1545 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
1546 (CVE-2016-0799)
1547 [Matt Caswell]
1548
1549 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
1550
1551 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
1552 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
1553 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
1554 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
1555 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
1556
1557 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
1558 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
1559 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
1560 http://cachebleed.info.
1561 (CVE-2016-0702)
1562 [Andy Polyakov]
1563
1564 *) Change the req app to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
1565 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
1566 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
1567 apps to use 2048 bits by default.
1568 [Emilia Käsper]
1569
1570 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
1571 *) DH small subgroups
1572
1573 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
1574 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
1575 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
1576 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
1577 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
1578 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
1579 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
1580 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
1581 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
1582 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
1583
1584 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
1585 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
1586 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
1587 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
1588 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
1589
1590 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
1591 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
1592 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
1593 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
1594
1595 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
1596 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
1597
1598 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
1599 (CVE-2016-0701)
1600 [Matt Caswell]
1601
1602 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
1603
1604 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
1605 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
1606 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
1607 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.
1608
1609 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram
1610 and Sebastian Schinzel.

1614 Changes between 1.0.2d and 1.0.2e [3 Dec 2015]
1615
1616 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1617
1618 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1619 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1620 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1621 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1622 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1623 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1624 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1625 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1626 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1627 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1628 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1629 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

1632 (CVE-2015-3193)
1633 [Andy Polyakov]
1634
1635 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
1636
1637 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1638 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1639 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
1640 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
1641 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
1642 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
1643 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
1644 authentication.
1645
1646 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
1647 (CVE-2015-3194)
1648 [Stephen Henson]
1649
1650 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
1651
1652 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
1653 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
1654 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
1655 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
1656
1657 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
1658 libFuzzer.
1659 (CVE-2015-3195)
1660 [Stephen Henson]
1661
1662 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1663 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
1664 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
1665 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.

1671
1672 Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
1673
1674 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
1675
1676 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
1677 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
1678 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
1679 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
1680 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
1681 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
1682
1683 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
1684 (Google/BoringSSL).

1686
1687 Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]
1688
1689 *) Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
1690 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
1691 restored.
1692 [Matt Caswell]
1693
1694 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
1695
1696 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
1697
1698 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
1699 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
1700 field.
1701
1702 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
1703 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
1704 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
1705 client authentication enabled.
1706
1707 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
1708 (CVE-2015-1788)
1709 [Andy Polyakov]
1710
1711 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
1712
1713 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
1714 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
1715 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
1716 time string.
1717
1718 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
1719 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
1720 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
1721 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
1722 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
1723 callbacks.
1724
1725 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
1726 independently by Hanno Böck.
1727 (CVE-2015-1789)
1728 [Emilia Käsper]
1729
1730 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
1731
1732 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
1733 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
1734 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1735
1736 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
1737 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
1738 servers are not affected.

1741 (CVE-2015-1790)
1742 [Emilia Käsper]
1743
1744 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
1745
1746 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
1747 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
1748 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
1749 the CMS code.
1750 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
1751 (CVE-2015-1792)
1752 [Stephen Henson]
1753
1754 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
1755
1756 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
1757 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
1758 a double free of the ticket data.
1759 (CVE-2015-1791)
1760 [Matt Caswell]
1761
1762 *) Only support 256-bit or stronger elliptic curves with the

1767 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
1768
1769 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
1770
1771 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
1772 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
1773 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
1774
1775 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
1776 University.
1777 (CVE-2015-0291)
1778 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
1779
1780 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
1781
1782 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
1783 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
1784 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
1785 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
1786 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
1787 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
1788 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
1789 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
1790
1791 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
1792 (CVE-2015-0290)
1793 [Matt Caswell]
1794
1795 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
1796
1797 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
1798 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
1799 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
1800 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
1801 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
1802 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
1803 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
1804 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
1805 server.
1806
1807 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
1808 (CVE-2015-0207)
1809 [Matt Caswell]
1810
1811 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
1812
1813 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
1814 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
1815 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
1816 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1817 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1818 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
1819 (CVE-2015-0286)
1820 [Stephen Henson]
1821
1822 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
1823
1824 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1825 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1826 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
1827 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
1828 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1829 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1830 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
1831
1832 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
1833 (CVE-2015-0208)
1834 [Stephen Henson]
1835
1836 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
1837
1838 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
1839 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
1840 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
1841
1842 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
1843 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
1844 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
1845 not affected.
1846 (CVE-2015-0287)
1847 [Stephen Henson]
1848
1849 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
1850
1851 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
1852 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
1853 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1854
1855 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
1856 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
1857 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
1858
1859 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
1860 (CVE-2015-0289)
1861 [Emilia Käsper]
1862
1863 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
1864
1865 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
1866 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
1867 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
1868
1869 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
1870 (OpenSSL development team).
1871 (CVE-2015-0293)
1872 [Emilia Käsper]
1873
1874 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
1875
1876 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
1877 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
1878 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
1879 (CVE-2015-1787)
1880 [Matt Caswell]
1881
1882 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
1883
1884 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
1885 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
1886 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
1887 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
1888 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
1889 SSL_client_methodv23)
1890 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
1891 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
1892
1893 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
1894 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
1895 output may be predictable.
1896
1897 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
1898 succeed on an unpatched platform:
1899
1900 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA

1902 [Matt Caswell]
1903
1904 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
1905
1906 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
1907 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
1908 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
1909 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
1910 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
1911 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
1912
1913 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
1914 commit 517073cd4b.

1917
1918 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
1919
1920 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
1921 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.

1929
1930 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
1931
1932 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
1933 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
1934 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
1935 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
1936 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
1937 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
1938 [Andy Polyakov]
1939
1940 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
1941 (other platforms pending).
1942 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
1943
1944 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
1945 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
1946 [Rob Stradling]
1947
1948 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1949 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1950 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1951 [Bodo Moeller]
1952
1953 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
1954 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
1955 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
1956 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
1957 [Andy Polyakov]
1958
1959 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
1960 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
1961
1962 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
1963 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
1964 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
1965 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
1966 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
1967
1968 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
1969 [Andy Polyakov]
1970
1971 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
1972 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
1973 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.

1978 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
1979
1980 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
1981 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
1982 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
1983 for TLS encrypt.
1984
1985 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
1986 [Andy Polyakov]
1987
1988 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
1989 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
1990 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
1991 [Steve Henson]
1992
1993 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1994 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1995 [Steve Henson]
1996
1997 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1998 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1999 [Steve Henson]
2000
2001 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2002 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2003 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2004 algorithms and include tests cases.

2007 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
2008 structure.
2009 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
2010
2011 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
2012 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
2013 [Steve Henson]
2014
2015 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
2016 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
2017 summary of the connection parameters.
2018 [Steve Henson]
2019
2020 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
2021 of connection parameters.
2022 [Steve Henson]
2023
2024 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
2025 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
2026
2027 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
2028 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
2029 [Steve Henson]
2030
2031 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
2032 [Steve Henson]
2033
2034 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
2035 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
2036 [Steve Henson]
2037
2038 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
2039 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
2040 [Steve Henson]
2041
2042 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
2043 certificates.
2044 [Steve Henson]
2045
2046 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
2047 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
2048 CRLs using the OCSP API.
2049 [Steve Henson]
2050
2051 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
2052 [Steve Henson]
2053
2054 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
2055 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
2056 [Steve Henson]
2057
2058 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
2059 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
2060 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
2061 tracing.
2062 [Steve Henson]
2063
2064 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
2065 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
2066 [Steve Henson]
2067
2068 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
2069 OID NID.
2070 [Steve Henson]
2071
2072 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
2073 client to OpenSSL.
2074 [Steve Henson]
2075
2076 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
2077 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
2078 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
2079 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
2080 [Steve Henson]
2081
2082 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
2083 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
2084 [Steve Henson]
2085
2086 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
2087 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
2088 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
2089 comparison.
2090 [Steve Henson]
2091
2092 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
2093 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
2094 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
2095 use the certificate.
2096 [Steve Henson]
2097
2098 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
2099 [Steve Henson]
2100
2101 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
2102 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
2103 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
2104 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
2105 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
2106 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
2107 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
2108
2109 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
2110 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
2111
2112 [Steve Henson]
2113
2114 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
2115 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
2116 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
2117 [Steve Henson]
2118
2119 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
2120 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
2121 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
2122 supported signature algorithms.
2123 [Steve Henson]
2124
2125 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
2126 [Steve Henson]
2127
2128 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
2129 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
2130 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
2131 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
2132 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
2133 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
2134 certificate and specify the whole chain.
2135 [Steve Henson]
2136
2137 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
2138 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
2139 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
2140 to have similar checks in it.
2141
2142 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
2143 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
2144 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
2145 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
2146 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
2147 [Steve Henson]
2148
2149 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
2150 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
2151 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
2152 shared signature algorithms.
2153 [Steve Henson]
2154
2155 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
2156 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
2157 to support them.
2158 [Steve Henson]
2159
2160 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
2161 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
2162 it couldn't be removed.
2163 [Steve Henson]
2164
2165 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
2166 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
2167 [Steve Henson]
2168
2169 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
2170 functions. Add manual page.
2171 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
2172
2173 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
2174 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
2175 a certificate.
2176 [Steve Henson]
2177
2178 *) Fix OCSP checking.
2179 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
2180
2181 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
2182 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
2183 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
2184 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
2185 utility) or reject.
2186 [Steve Henson]
2187
2188 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
2189 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
2190 [Steve Henson]
2191
2192 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
2193 platform support for Linux and Android.
2194 [Andy Polyakov]
2195
2196 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
2197 [Andy Polyakov]
2198
2199 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2200 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
2201 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
2202 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
2203 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
2204 [Steve Henson]
2205
2206 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
2207 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
2208 the new parameter format automatically.
2209 [Steve Henson]
2210
2211 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
2212 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
2213 [Steve Henson]
2214
2215 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
2216 [Steve Henson]
2217
2218 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
2219 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
2220 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
2221 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
2222 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
2223 [Steve Henson]
2224
2225 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
2226 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
2227 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
2228 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
2229 to set list of supported curves.
2230 [Steve Henson]
2231
2232 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
2233 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
2234 to print out received values.
2235 [Steve Henson]
2236
2237 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
2238 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
2239 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
2240 [Steve Henson]
2241
2242 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
2243 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
2244 [Steve Henson]
2245
2246 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
2247 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
2248 [Steve Henson]
2249
2250 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
2251 certificates.
2252 [Steve Henson]
2253
2254 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
2255 the certificate.
2256 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
2257 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
2258 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
2259
2260 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
2261
2262 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
2263 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
2264
2265 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
2266
2267 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
2268 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
2269 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
2270 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
2271 (CVE-2014-3571)
2272 [Steve Henson]
2273
2274 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
2275 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
2276 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
2277 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
2278 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
2279 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
2280 (CVE-2015-0206)
2281 [Matt Caswell]
2282
2283 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
2284 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
2285 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
2286 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
2287 (CVE-2014-3569)
2288 [Kurt Roeckx]
2289
2290 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
2291 ECDH ciphersuites.
2292
2293 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
2294 reporting this issue.
2295 (CVE-2014-3572)
2296 [Steve Henson]
2297
2298 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
2299 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
2300 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
2301 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
2302 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
2303 INRIA or reporting this issue.
2304 (CVE-2015-0204)
2305 [Steve Henson]
2306
2307 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
2308 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
2309 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
2310 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
2311 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
2312 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
2313 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
2314 this issue.
2315 (CVE-2015-0205)
2316 [Steve Henson]
2317
2318 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
2319 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
2320
2321 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
2322 and can vary with the CTX.
2323 [Adam Langley]
2324
2325 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
2326
2327 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
2328 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
2329 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
2330 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
2331 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
2332
2333 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
2334
2335 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
2336 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
2337
2338 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
2339
2340 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
2341 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
2342 errors for some broken certificates.
2343
2344 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
2345
2346 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
2347
2348 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
2349 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
2350
2351 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
2352 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
2353 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
2354 (negative or with leading zeroes).
2355
2356 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
2357 of the OpenSSL core team.
2358
2359 (CVE-2014-8275)
2360 [Steve Henson]
2361
2362 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
2363 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
2364 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
2365 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
2366 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
2367 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
2368 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
2369 the OpenSSL core team.
2370 (CVE-2014-3570)
2371 [Andy Polyakov]
2372
2373 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
2374 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
2375 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
2376 sanity and breaks all known clients.
2377 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
2378
2379 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
2380 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
2381 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
2382 [Emilia Käsper]
2383
2384 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
2385 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
2386 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2387 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
2388 announced in the initial ServerHello.
2389
2390 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
2391 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2392 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
2393 [Emilia Käsper]
2394
2395 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
2396
2397 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
2398
2399 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
2400 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
2401 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
2402 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
2403 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
2404 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
2405 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
2406
2407 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
2408 (CVE-2014-3513)
2409 [OpenSSL team]
2410
2411 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
2412
2413 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
2414 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
2415 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
2416 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
2417 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
2418 attack.
2419 (CVE-2014-3567)
2420 [Steve Henson]
2421
2422 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
2423
2424 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
2425 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
2426 configured to send them.
2427 (CVE-2014-3568)
2428 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
2429
2430 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
2431 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
2432 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
2433 (CVE-2014-3566)
2434 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2435
2436 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
2437
2438 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
2439 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
2440 DigestInfo structures.
2441
2442 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
2443
2444 [Steve Henson]
2445
2446 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
2447
2448 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
2449 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
2450 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
2451
2452 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
2453 Group for discovering this issue.
2454 (CVE-2014-3512)
2455 [Steve Henson]
2456
2457 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
2458 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
2459 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
2460 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
2461 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
2462
2463 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
2464 researching this issue.
2465 (CVE-2014-3511)
2466 [David Benjamin]
2467
2468 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
2469 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
2470 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
2471 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
2472
2473 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
2474 issue.
2475 (CVE-2014-3510)
2476 [Emilia Käsper]
2477
2478 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
2479 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2480 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2481 (CVE-2014-3507)
2482 [Adam Langley]
2483
2484 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
2485 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
2486 Denial of Service attack.
2487 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2488 (CVE-2014-3506)
2489 [Adam Langley]
2490
2491 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
2492 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
2493 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2494 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
2495 this issue.
2496 (CVE-2014-3505)
2497 [Adam Langley]
2498
2499 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
2500 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
2501 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
2502
2503 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
2504 issue.
2505 (CVE-2014-3509)
2506 [Gabor Tyukasz]
2507
2508 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
2509 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
2510 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
2511 Denial of Service attack.
2512
2513 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
2514 discovering and researching this issue.
2515 (CVE-2014-5139)
2516 [Steve Henson]
2517
2518 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
2519 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
2520 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
2521 output to the attacker.
2522
2523 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
2524 (CVE-2014-3508)
2525 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
2526
2527 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2528 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2529 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2530 [Bodo Moeller]
2531
2532 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
2533
2534 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
2535 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
2536 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
2537
2538 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
2539 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
2540 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
2541
2542 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
2543 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
2544 in a DoS attack.
2545
2546 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
2547 (CVE-2014-0221)
2548 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
2549
2550 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
2551 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
2552 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
2553 code on a vulnerable client or server.
2554
2555 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
2556 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
2557
2558 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
2559 are subject to a denial of service attack.
2560
2561 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
2562 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
2563 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
2564
2565 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2566 compilation flags.
2567 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2568
2569 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2570 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
2571 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2572
2573 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2574 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2575
2576 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
2577
2578 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2579 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2580 server.
2581
2582 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2583 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
2584 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2585 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2586
2587 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2588 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2589 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2590 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2591
2592 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2593 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2594 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2595
2596 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
2597
2598 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
2599 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
2600 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
2601 is at least 512 bytes long.
2602
2603 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
2604
2605 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
2606
2607 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
2608 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
2609 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
2610 (CVE-2013-4353)
2611
2612 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
2613 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
2614 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
2615 [Steve Henson]
2616
2617 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
2618 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
2619 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
2620 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
2621 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
2622 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
2623 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
2624
2625 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
2626
2627 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
2628 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
2629 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2630
2631 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
2632
2633 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
2634
2635 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
2636 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
2637 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
2638
2639 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2640 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2641 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
2642 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
2643 (CVE-2013-0169)
2644 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2645
2646 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
2647 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
2648 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
2649 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
2650 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
2651 (CVE-2012-2686)
2652 [Adam Langley]
2653
2654 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2655 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2656 [Steve Henson]
2657
2658 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2659 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2660
2661 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
2662 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
2663 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
2664 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
2665 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
2666
2667 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
2668 [Steve Henson]
2669
2670 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
2671 if renegotiating.
2672 [Steve Henson]
2673
2674 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
2675
2676 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
2677 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
2678
2679 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
2680 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
2681 (CVE-2012-2333)
2682 [Steve Henson]
2683
2684 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
2685 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
2686 [Steve Henson]
2687
2688 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
2689 approved.
2690 [Steve Henson]
2691
2692 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
2693
2694 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
2695 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
2696 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
2697 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
2698 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
2699 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
2700 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
2701 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
2702 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
2703 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
2704 [Steve Henson]
2705
2706 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
2707 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
2708 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
2709 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
2710 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
2711 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
2712 client side.
2713 [Andy Polyakov]
2714
2715 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
2716
2717 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
2718 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
2719 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
2720
2721 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
2722 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
2723 (CVE-2012-2110)
2724 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
2725
2726 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
2727 [Adam Langley]
2728
2729 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
2730 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
2731
2732 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
2733 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
2734 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
2735 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
2736 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
2737 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
2738 Most broken servers should now work.
2739 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
2740 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
2741 [Steve Henson]
2742
2743 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
2744 [Andy Polyakov]
2745
2746 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
2747
2748 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
2749 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
2750 [Steve Henson]
2751
2752 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
2753 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
2754 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
2755 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
2756 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
2757 [Steve Henson]
2758
2759 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
2760 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
2761 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
2762 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
2763 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
2764 [Steve Henson]
2765
2766 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
2767 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2768
2769 *) Add support for SCTP.
2770 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2771
2772 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2773 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2774
2775 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
2776
2777 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
2778 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
2779 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
2780 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
2781 - s390x: z196 support;
2782 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
2783
2784 [Andy Polyakov]
2785
2786 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
2787 (removal of unnecessary code)
2788 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
2789
2790 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
2791 [Eric Rescorla]
2792
2793 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
2794 [Eric Rescorla]
2795
2796 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
2797 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
2798 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
2799 by Google.
2800 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2801
2802 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
2803 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
2804 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
2805 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
2806 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
2807
2808 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
2809 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
2810 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
2811
2812 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
2813 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
2814 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
2815
2816 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
2817 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
2818 implementations).
2819 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2820
2821 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
2822 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
2823 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
2824 [Steve Henson]
2825
2826 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
2827 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
2828 particular PSS.
2829 [Steve Henson]
2830
2831 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
2832 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
2833 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
2834 [Steve Henson]
2835
2836 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
2837 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
2838 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
2839 the appropriate parameters.
2840 [Steve Henson]
2841
2842 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
2843 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
2844 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
2845 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
2846 against a number of sample certificates.
2847 [Steve Henson]
2848
2849 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
2850 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
2851
2852 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
2853 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
2854
2855 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
2856 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
2857 parameters r, s.
2858 [Steve Henson]
2859
2860 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
2861 RFC3211.
2862 [Steve Henson]
2863
2864 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
2865 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
2866 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
2867 password based CMS).
2868 [Steve Henson]
2869
2870 *) Session-handling fixes:
2871 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
2872 but also support Session Tickets.
2873 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
2874 presented a ticket with an expired session.
2875 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
2876 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
2877 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
2878 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2879
2880 *) Fix PSK session representation.
2881 [Bodo Moeller]
2882
2883 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
2884
2885 This work was sponsored by Intel.
2886 [Andy Polyakov]
2887
2888 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
2889 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
2890 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
2891 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
2892 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
2893 [Steve Henson]
2894
2895 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
2896 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
2897 [Steve Henson]
2898
2899 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
2900 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
2901 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
2902 [Steve Henson]
2903
2904 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
2905 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
2906 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
2907 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
2908 [Steve Henson]
2909
2910 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
2911 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
2912 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
2913 [Steve Henson]
2914
2915 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
2916 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
2917
2918 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
2919 [Steve Henson]
2920
2921 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
2922 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
2923 [Steve Henson]
2924
2925 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2926 [Steve Henson]
2927
2928 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
2929 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
2930 [Steve Henson]
2931
2932 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
2933 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
2934 [Steve Henson]
2935
2936 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
2937 [Steve Henson]
2938
2939 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
2940 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
2941 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
2942 [Steve Henson]
2943
2944 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2945 [Steve Henson]
2946
2947 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2948 [Steve Henson]
2949
2950 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
2951 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
2952 [Steve Henson]
2953
2954 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
2955 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
2956 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
2957 [Steve Henson]
2958
2959 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
2960 [Steve Henson]
2961
2962 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
2963 and enable MD5.
2964 [Steve Henson]
2965
2966 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
2967 FIPS modules versions.
2968 [Steve Henson]
2969
2970 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
2971 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
2972 until after the certificate request message is received.
2973 [Steve Henson]
2974
2975 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
2976 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
2977 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
2978 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
2979 [Steve Henson]
2980
2981 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
2982 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
2983 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
2984 support yet and no support for client certificates.
2985 [Steve Henson]
2986
2987 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
2988 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
2989 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
2990 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
2991 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
2992 and version checking.
2993 [Steve Henson]
2994
2995 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
2996 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
2997 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
2998 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
2999 [Steve Henson]
3000
3001 *) Add SRP support.
3002 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
3003
3004 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
3005 [Steve Henson]
3006
3007 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
3008 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
3009 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3010
3011 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
3012 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
3013 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
3014 [Steve Henson]
3015
3016 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
3017 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
3018
3019 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
3020 a few changes are required:
3021
3022 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
3023 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
3024 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
3025 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
3026 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
3027 [Steve Henson]
3028
3029 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
3030
3031 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
3032 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
3033 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
3034 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
3035 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
3036 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
3037 an MMA defence is not necessary.
3038 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
3039 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
3040 [Steve Henson]
3041
3042 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
3043 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
3044 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
3045 [Steve Henson]
3046
3047 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
3048
3049 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
3050 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
3051 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
3052 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
3053 [Antonio Martin]
3054
3055 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
3056
3057 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
3058 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
3059 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
3060 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
3061 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
3062 paper describing this attack can be found at:
3063 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
3064 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3065 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3066 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
3067 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
3068 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
3069 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
3070
3071 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
3072 (CVE-2011-4576)
3073 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3074
3075 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
3076 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
3077 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
3078 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3079
3080 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
3081 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
3082
3083 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
3084 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
3085 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
3086 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3087
3088 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3089 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3090
3091 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
3092 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3093
3094 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
3095 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3096
3097 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
3098 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
3099 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3100
3101 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
3102 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
3103 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
3104
3105 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
3106 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
3107 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
3108 the last update always remained unused).
3109 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3110
3111 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
3112 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
3113
3114 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
3115
3116 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
3117 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
3118 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
3119
3120 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
3121 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
3122 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3123
3124 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
3125 [Bodo Moeller]
3126
3127 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
3128 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
3129 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
3130 [Steve Henson]
3131
3132 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
3133 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
3134
3135 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
3136
3137 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
3138
3139 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
3140
3141 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
3142 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3143
3144 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
3145 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
3146 ambiguous.
3147 [Steve Henson]
3148
3149 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
3150
3151 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
3152 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
3153 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
3154 [Steve Henson]
3155
3156 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
3157 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
3158 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
3159 [Ben Laurie]
3160
3161 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
3162
3163 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
3164 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
3165 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
3166 [Steve Henson]
3167
3168 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
3169 a DLL.
3170 [Steve Henson]
3171
3172 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
3173
3174 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
3175 (CVE-2010-1633)
3176 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
3177
3178 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
3179
3180 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
3181 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
3182 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
3183 [Steve Henson]
3184
3185 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
3186 [Steve Henson]
3187
3188 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
3189 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
3190 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
3191
3192 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
3193 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
3194 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
3195 [Steve Henson]
3196
3197 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
3198 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
3199 [Steve Henson]
3200
3201 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
3202 some responders need this.
3203 [Steve Henson]
3204
3205 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
3206 correctly.
3207 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3208
3209 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
3210 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
3211 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
3212 [Steve Henson]
3213
3214 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
3215 [Steve Henson]
3216
3217 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
3218 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
3219 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
3220 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
3221 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
3222 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
3223 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
3224 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
3225 [Steve Henson]
3226
3227 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
3228 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
3229 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
3230 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3231
3232 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
3233 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
3234
3235 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
3236 be used on C++.
3237 [Steve Henson]
3238
3239 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
3240 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
3241 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
3242 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
3243 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
3244 attempting to work them out.
3245 [Steve Henson]
3246
3247 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
3248 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
3249 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
3250 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
3251 [Steve Henson]
3252
3253 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
3254 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
3255 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
3256 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
3257 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
3258 [Steve Henson]
3259
3260 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
3261 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
3262 you can do:
3263
3264 openssl sha256 foo
3265
3266 as well as:
3267
3268 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
3269
3270 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
3271
3272 [Steve Henson]
3273
3274 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
3275 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3276
3277 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
3278 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
3279
3280 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
3281 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
3282 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
3283 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
3284 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
3285 [Steve Henson]
3286
3287 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
3288 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
3289 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
3290 [Steve Henson]
3291
3292 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
3293 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
3294 [Steve Henson]
3295
3296 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
3297 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
3298
3299 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
3300 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
3301 [Steve Henson]
3302
3303 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
3304 [Ben Laurie]
3305
3306 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
3307 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
3308 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
3309 CONF_VALUE.
3310 [Ben Laurie]
3311
3312 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
3313 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
3314 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
3315 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
3316 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
3317 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
3318 [Steve Henson]
3319
3320 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
3321 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
3322
3323 This work was sponsored by Google.
3324 [Steve Henson]
3325
3326 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
3327 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
3328 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
3329 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
3330 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
3331 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
3332 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
3333 default.
3334
3335 This work was sponsored by Google.
3336 [Steve Henson]
3337
3338 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
3339
3340 This work was sponsored by Google.
3341 [Steve Henson]
3342
3343 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
3344 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
3345 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
3346 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
3347
3348 This work was sponsored by Google.
3349 [Steve Henson]
3350
3351 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
3352 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
3353 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
3354 CRL functionality in future.
3355
3356 This work was sponsored by Google.
3357 [Steve Henson]
3358
3359 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
3360
3361 This work was sponsored by Google.
3362 [Steve Henson]
3363
3364 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
3365 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
3366
3367 This work was sponsored by Google.
3368 [Steve Henson]
3369
3370 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
3371 and URI types are currently supported.
3372
3373 This work was sponsored by Google.
3374 [Steve Henson]
3375
3376 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
3377 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
3378 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
3379 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
3380 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
3381 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
3382 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
3383 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
3384
3385 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
3386 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
3387 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
3388
3389 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
3390 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
3391 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
3392 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
3393
3394 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
3395 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
3396 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
3397 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
3398 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
3399 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
3400 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
3401 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
3402 of &errno.)
3403 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
3404
3405 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
3406 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
3407 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
3408
3409 This work was sponsored by Google.
3410 [Steve Henson]
3411
3412 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
3413 [Ben Laurie]
3414
3415 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3416 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
3417 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
3418 [Ben Laurie]
3419
3420 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
3421 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
3422 [Nick Mathewson]
3423
3424 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3425 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
3426 [Ben Laurie]
3427
3428 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
3429 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
3430 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
3431 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
3432 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
3433 content types and variants.
3434 [Steve Henson]
3435
3436 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
3437 [Steve Henson]
3438
3439 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
3440 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
3441 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
3442 files from the associated perl scripts.
3443 [Steve Henson]
3444
3445 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
3446 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
3447 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3448
3449 *) s390x assembler pack.
3450 [Andy Polyakov]
3451
3452 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
3453 "family."
3454 [Andy Polyakov]
3455
3456 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
3457 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
3458 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
3459 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
3460 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
3461 to use. For example, specify an option
3462
3463 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
3464
3465 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
3466 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
3467 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
3468 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
3469 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
3470 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
3471
3472 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
3473 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
3474 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
3475 return non-zero for success.
3476
3477 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
3478 by using
3479
3480 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
3481 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3482
3483 where
3484
3485 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
3486 void *arg;
3487
3488 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
3489 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
3490 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
3491 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
3492 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
3493 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
3494 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
3495 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
3496 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
3497
3498 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
3499 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
3500 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
3501 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
3502 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
3503 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
3504
3505 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
3506 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
3507 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
3508 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
3509 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
3510 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
3511
3512 [Bodo Moeller]
3513
3514 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
3515 MAC.
3516
3517 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3518
3519 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3520 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3521 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3522 supported.
3523
3524 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3525 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3526 SSL_SESSION.
3527
3528 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3529 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3530 with no application modification.
3531
3532 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3533 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3534
3535 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3536 or server extensions to be examined.
3537
3538 This work was sponsored by Google.
3539 [Steve Henson]
3540
3541 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
3542 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
3543 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
3544
3545 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
3546 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
3547 ciphersuite support.
3548 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
3549
3550 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
3551 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
3552 to output in BER and PEM format.
3553 [Steve Henson]
3554
3555 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
3556 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
3557 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
3558 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
3559 -macopt options to dgst utility.
3560 [Steve Henson]
3561
3562 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
3563 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
3564 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
3565 utility.
3566 [Steve Henson]
3567
3568 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
3569 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
3570 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
3571 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
3572 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
3573 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
3574 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
3575 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
3576 enabled again.
3577
3578 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
3579 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
3580 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
3581 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
3582
3583 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
3584 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
3585 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
3586 the default order.
3587 [Bodo Moeller]
3588
3589 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
3590 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
3591 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
3592 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
3593 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
3594 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
3595 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
3596 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
3597 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
3598
3599 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
3600 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
3601 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
3602 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
3603 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
3604 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
3605 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
3606 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
3607 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
3608 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
3609 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
3610 kinds of kludges.
3611
3612 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
3613 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
3614 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
3615
3616 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
3617 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
3618 "CAMELLIA256".
3619 [Bodo Moeller]
3620
3621 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
3622 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
3623 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
3624 [Nils Larsch]
3625
3626 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
3627 it yet and it is largely untested.
3628 [Steve Henson]
3629
3630 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
3631 [Nils Larsch]
3632
3633 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
3634 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
3635 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
3636 [Steve Henson]
3637
3638 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
3639 [Andy Polyakov]
3640
3641 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
3642 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
3643 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
3644 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
3645 [Steve Henson]
3646
3647 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
3648 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
3649 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
3650 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
3651 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
3652 [Steve Henson]
3653
3654 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
3655 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
3656 [Cryptocom]
3657
3658 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
3659 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
3660 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
3661 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
3662 [Steve Henson]
3663
3664 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
3665 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
3666 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
3667 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
3668 [Steve Henson]
3669
3670 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
3671 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
3672 [Steve Henson]
3673
3674 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
3675 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
3676 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
3677 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
3678 [Steve Henson]
3679
3680 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
3681 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
3682 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
3683 [Steve Henson]
3684
3685 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
3686 utility.
3687 [Steve Henson]
3688
3689 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
3690 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
3691 [Steve Henson]
3692
3693 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
3694 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
3695 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
3696 if necessary.
3697 [Steve Henson]
3698
3699 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
3700 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
3701 to free up any added signature OIDs.
3702 [Steve Henson]
3703
3704 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
3705 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
3706 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
3707 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
3708 [Steve Henson]
3709
3710 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
3711 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
3712 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
3713 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
3714 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
3715 the array representation useful in a more general context.
3716 [Douglas Stebila]
3717
3718 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
3719 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
3720 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
3721 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
3722 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
3723
3724 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
3725 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
3726 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
3727 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
3728 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
3729 protocol).
3730
3731 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
3732 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
3733 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
3734 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
3735
3736 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
3737 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
3738 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
3739 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
3740 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
3741
3742 aECDH - ECDH cert
3743 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
3744 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
3745
3746 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
3747 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
3748
3749 [Bodo Moeller]
3750
3751 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
3752 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
3753 [Steve Henson]
3754
3755 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
3756 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
3757 [Steve Henson]
3758
3759 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
3760 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
3761 functional reference processing.
3762 [Steve Henson]
3763
3764 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
3765 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
3766 process.
3767 [Steve Henson]
3768
3769 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
3770 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
3771 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
3772 [Steve Henson]
3773
3774 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
3775 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
3776 application to support multiple signers.
3777 [Steve Henson]
3778
3779 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
3780 digest MAC.
3781 [Steve Henson]
3782
3783 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
3784 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
3785 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
3786 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
3787 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
3788 [Steve Henson]
3789
3790 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
3791 new API.
3792 [Steve Henson]
3793
3794 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
3795 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
3796 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
3797 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
3798 a no op.
3799 [Steve Henson]
3800
3801 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
3802 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
3803 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
3804 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
3805 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
3806 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
3807 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
3808 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
3809 [Steve Henson]
3810
3811 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
3812 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
3813 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
3814 between digests and public key types.
3815 [Steve Henson]
3816
3817 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
3818 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
3819 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
3820 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
3821 [Steve Henson]
3822
3823 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
3824 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
3825 key ASN1 method.
3826 [Steve Henson]
3827
3828 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
3829 [Steve Henson]
3830
3831 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
3832 pkeyutl.
3833 [Steve Henson]
3834
3835 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
3836 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
3837 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
3838 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
3839 pkey, genpkey.
3840 [Steve Henson]
3841
3842 *) BeOS support.
3843 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3844
3845 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
3846 manual pages.
3847 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3848
3849 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
3850 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
3851 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
3852 functionality for RSA.
3853 [Steve Henson]
3854
3855 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
3856 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
3857 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
3858 [Steve Henson]
3859
3860 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
3861 key API, doesn't do much yet.
3862 [Steve Henson]
3863
3864 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
3865 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
3866 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
3867 [Steve Henson]
3868
3869 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
3870 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3871 [Douglas Stebila]
3872
3873 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
3874 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
3875 [Steve Henson]
3876
3877 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
3878 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
3879 type.
3880 [Steve Henson]
3881
3882 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
3883 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
3884 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
3885 structure.
3886 [Steve Henson]
3887
3888 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
3889 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
3890 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
3891 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
3892 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
3893 of public and private key structures.
3894 [Steve Henson]
3895
3896 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
3897 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3898 [Douglas Stebila]
3899
3900 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
3901 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
3902 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
3903
3904 New ciphersuites:
3905 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
3906 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
3907
3908 New functions:
3909 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
3910 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
3911 SSL_get_psk_identity
3912 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
3913
3914 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
3915
3916 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
3917 and response verification functionality.
3918 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
3919
3920 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3921 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3922 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3923 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3924 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3925 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3926 server_name extension.
3927
3928 New functions (subject to change):
3929
3930 SSL_get_servername()
3931 SSL_get_servername_type()
3932 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
3933
3934 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3935
3936 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3937 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3938 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3939 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3940 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3941
3942 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3943
3944 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3945 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3946 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3947 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3948 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
3949 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3950 option.
3951
3952 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
3953
3954 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
3955 [Andy Polyakov]
3956
3957 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
3958 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
3959 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
3960 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
3961 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
3962 [Andy Polyakov]
3963
3964 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
3965 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
3966 macro.
3967 [Bodo Moeller]
3968
3969 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
3970 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
3971 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
3972 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
3973 [Andy Polyakov]
3974
3975 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
3976 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
3977 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
3978 using the maximum available value.
3979 [Steve Henson]
3980
3981 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
3982 in addition to the text details.
3983 [Bodo Moeller]
3984
3985 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
3986 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
3987 handle several customised structures at all.
3988 [Steve Henson]
3989
3990 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
3991 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
3992 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
3993 [Steve Henson]
3994
3995 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
3996 [Steve Henson]
3997
3998 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
3999 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
4000 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
4001 [Steve Henson]
4002
4003 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
4004 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
4005 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
4006 [Nils Larsch]
4007
4008 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
4009 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
4010 all fields.
4011 [Steve Henson]
4012
4013 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
4014 [Steve Henson]
4015
4016 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
4017 [NTT]
4018
4019 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
4020
4021 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
4022 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
4023 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
4024 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
4025 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
4026 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
4027 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
4028 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
4029
4030 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
4031 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
4032 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
4033
4034 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
4035
4036 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
4037 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
4038
4039 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
4040 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
4041 [Bodo Moeller]
4042
4043 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
4044 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
4045 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
4046 [Steve Henson]
4047
4048 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
4049 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
4050 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
4051 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
4052 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
4053 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
4054 [Steve Henson]
4055
4056 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
4057 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
4058 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
4059 [Steve Henson]
4060
4061 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
4062 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
4063 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
4064 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
4065 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
4066 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
4067 CVE-2009-4355.
4068 [Steve Henson]
4069
4070 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
4071 change when encrypting or decrypting.
4072 [Bodo Moeller]
4073
4074 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
4075 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
4076 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
4077 [Steve Henson]
4078
4079 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
4080 [Steve Henson]
4081
4082 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
4083 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
4084 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
4085 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
4086 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
4087 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
4088 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
4089 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
4090 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
4091 [Steve Henson]
4092
4093 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
4094 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
4095 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
4096 [Steve Henson]
4097
4098 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
4099 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
4100 [Steve Henson]
4101
4102 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
4103 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
4104 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
4105 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
4106 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
4107 know what you are doing.
4108 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
4109
4110 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
4111 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
4112 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
4113 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
4114 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
4115 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
4116 the handshake.
4117 [Steve Henson]
4118
4119 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
4120 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
4121 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
4122 correctly.
4123 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4124
4125 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
4126 warnings in other configurations.
4127 [Steve Henson]
4128
4129 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
4130 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
4131 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
4132 systems need.
4133 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
4134
4135 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
4136 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
4137 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
4138
4139 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
4140 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
4141 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
4142 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
4143 [Steve Henson]
4144
4145 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
4146 and restored.
4147 [Steve Henson]
4148
4149 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
4150 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
4151 clash.
4152 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4153
4154 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
4155 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
4156 other than a simple chain.
4157 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
4158
4159 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
4160 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
4161 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
4162 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
4163 [Steve Henson]
4164
4165 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
4166 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
4167 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
4168 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
4169 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
4170 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
4171 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
4172 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
4173 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4174
4175 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
4176 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
4177 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
4178 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
4179 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
4180 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
4181 (CVE-2009-1377)
4182 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4183
4184 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
4185 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
4186 [Daniel Mentz]
4187
4188 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
4189 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
4190
4191 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
4192 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
4193
4194 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
4195
4196 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
4197 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
4198 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
4199 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
4200 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
4201 you're doing.
4202 [Ben Laurie]
4203
4204 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
4205
4206 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
4207 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
4208 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
4209 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
4210
4211 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
4212 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
4213 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
4214 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4215
4216 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
4217 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
4218 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
4219 [Steve Henson]
4220
4221 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
4222 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
4223 level.
4224 [Steve Henson]
4225
4226 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
4227 to handle some structures.
4228 [Steve Henson]
4229
4230 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
4231 for a '\n'
4232 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
4233
4234 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
4235 [Matthieu Herrb]
4236
4237 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
4238 [Steve Henson]
4239
4240 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
4241 [Steve Henson]
4242
4243 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
4244 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
4245 chosen compiler.
4246 [Ben Laurie]
4247
4248 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
4249
4250 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
4251 (CVE-2008-5077).
4252 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
4253
4254 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
4255 [Ben Laurie]
4256
4257 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
4258 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
4259 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
4260 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
4261
4262 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
4263 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
4264
4265 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
4266 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
4267 [Bodo Moeller]
4268
4269 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
4270 s_client and s_server.
4271 [Ben Laurie]
4272
4273 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
4274 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4275
4276 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
4277 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
4278
4279 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
4280 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
4281 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
4282 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
4283 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
4284 [Bodo Moeller]
4285
4286 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
4287
4288 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
4289 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
4290 [PR #1679]
4291
4292 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
4293 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
4294 [Nagendra Modadugu]
4295
4296 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
4297 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
4298 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
4299 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
4300
4301 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
4302 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
4303
4304 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
4305
4306 *) Various precautionary measures:
4307
4308 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
4309
4310 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
4311 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
4312 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
4313
4314 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
4315 outside the expected range.
4316
4317 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
4318 builds.
4319
4320 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
4321
4322 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
4323 the load fails. Useful for distros.
4324 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
4325
4326 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
4327 [Steve Henson]
4328
4329 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
4330 [Huang Ying]
4331
4332 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
4333
4334 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4335 [Steve Henson]
4336
4337 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
4338 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
4339 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
4340
4341 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4342 [Steve Henson]
4343
4344 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
4345 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
4346 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
4347 files.
4348 [Steve Henson]
4349
4350 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
4351
4352 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
4353 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
4354 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
4355 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
4356
4357 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
4358 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
4359 [Joe Orton]
4360
4361 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
4362
4363 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
4364 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
4365 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
4366
4367 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
4368
4369 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
4370 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
4371 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
4372 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
4373 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4374
4375 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
4376 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
4377 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
4378 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
4379 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
4380 invalid read after the end of 'db').
4381 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4382
4383 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
4384
4385 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
4386 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
4387 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
4388 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
4389 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
4390
4391 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
4392 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
4393
4394 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
4395 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
4396 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
4397 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
4398 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
4399
4400 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
4401
4402 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
4403 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
4404 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
4405 sets may exist with different names.
4406 [Steve Henson]
4407
4408 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
4409 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
4410 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
4411 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
4412 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
4413 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
4414 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
4415 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
4416 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
4417 implementation.
4418 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
4419
4420 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
4421 implementation in the following ways:
4422
4423 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
4424 hard coded.
4425
4426 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
4427 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
4428 ignored for embedded content.
4429
4430 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
4431 with the enable-cms configuration option.
4432 [Steve Henson]
4433
4434 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
4435 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
4436 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
4437 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
4438
4439 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
4440 uncompresses any data passed through it.
4441 [Steve Henson]
4442
4443 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
4444 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
4445 [Steve Henson]
4446
4447 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
4448 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
4449 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
4450 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
4451 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
4452 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
4453 data.
4454 [Steve Henson]
4455
4456 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
4457 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
4458 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4459
4460 *) Netware support:
4461
4462 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
4463 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
4464 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
4465 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
4466 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
4467 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
4468 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
4469 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
4470 platform
4471 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
4472 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
4473 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
4474 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
4475 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
4476 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
4477 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
4478
4479 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
4480 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
4481 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
4482 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
4483 to s_client and s_server.
4484 [Steve Henson]
4485
4486 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
4487
4488 *) Fix various bugs:
4489 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
4490 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
4491 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
4492 + Fix ia64 assembler code
4493 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
4494
4495 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
4496
4497 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
4498 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
4499 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
4500 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
4501 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
4502 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
4503 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
4504 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
4505 [Andy Polyakov]
4506
4507 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
4508 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
4509 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
4510 Steve Henson]
4511
4512 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4513 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4514 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4515 supported.
4516
4517 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4518 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4519 SSL_SESSION.
4520
4521 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4522 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4523 with no application modification.
4524
4525 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4526 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4527
4528 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4529 or server extensions to be examined.
4530
4531 This work was sponsored by Google.
4532 [Steve Henson]
4533
4534 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4535 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4536 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4537 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4538 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4539 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4540 server_name extension.
4541
4542 New functions (subject to change):
4543
4544 SSL_get_servername()
4545 SSL_get_servername_type()
4546 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4547
4548 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4549
4550 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4551 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4552 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4553 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4554 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4555
4556 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4557
4558 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4559 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4560 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4561 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4562 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4563 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4564 option.
4565
4566 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
4567
4568 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
4569 [Steve Henson]
4570
4571 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
4572 [Andy Polyakov]
4573
4574 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
4575 (which previously caused an internal error).
4576 [Bodo Moeller]
4577
4578 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
4579 [Ben Laurie]
4580
4581 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
4582 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
4583
4584 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
4585 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
4586 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
4587
4588 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
4589 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
4590 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
4591 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
4592
4593 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4594 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4595 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
4596 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
4597
4598 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
4599 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
4600 information. For detailed background information, see
4601 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
4602 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
4603 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
4604 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
4605 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
4606 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
4607 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
4608 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
4609 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
4610 remove a conditional branch.
4611
4612 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
4613 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
4614 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
4615 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
4616 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
4617 remains as a deprecated alias.
4618
4619 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
4620 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
4621 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
4622 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
4623
4624 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
4625 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
4626 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
4627 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
4628 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
4629 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
4630 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
4631 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
4632
4633 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
4634
4635 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
4636 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
4637 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
4638 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
4639 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
4640 with applications using a single external cache for quite
4641 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
4642 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
4643 in a different context.
4644 [Bodo Moeller]
4645
4646 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4647 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4648 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4649 [Bodo Moeller]
4650
4651 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
4652 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
4653 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
4654
4655 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
4656
4657 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
4658 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
4659 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4660 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
4661 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
4662 [Victor Duchovni]
4663
4664 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
4665 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
4666 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
4667 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
4668 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
4669 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
4670 [Bodo Moeller]
4671
4672 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4673 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4674 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4675 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4676 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4677 [Bodo Moeller]
4678
4679 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
4680 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
4681
4682 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4683 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4684 Improve header file function name parsing.
4685 [Steve Henson]
4686
4687 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
4688 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
4689 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
4690
4691 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
4692
4693 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4694 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4695 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4696
4697 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4698 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4699
4700 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4701 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4702
4703 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4704 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4705 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4706
4707 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
4708 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
4709 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
4710 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
4711 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
4712 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
4713 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
4714 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
4715 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
4716
4717 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
4718 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
4719 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
4720 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
4721 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
4722
4723 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
4724 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
4725 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
4726 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
4727 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
4728 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
4729 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
4730 multiple values to extend the available space.
4731
4732 [Bodo Moeller]
4733
4734 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
4735
4736 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4737 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4738
4739 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
4740 [Ben Laurie]
4741
4742 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4743 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4744 undesirable limitations.
4745 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4746
4747 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
4748 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
4749 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
4750 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
4751 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
4752 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
4753 to avoid potential handshake problems.
4754 [Bodo Moeller]
4755
4756 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4757
4758 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4759 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4760 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4761
4762 The latter two were purportedly from
4763 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4764 appear there.
4765
4766 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
4767 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4768 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4769 [Bodo Moeller]
4770
4771 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
4772 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4773 [Bodo Moeller]
4774
4775 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
4776 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
4777 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
4778 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
4779
4780 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4781 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4782 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
4783 [NTT]
4784
4785 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
4786 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
4787 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
4788 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
4789 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
4790 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
4791 [Steve Henson]
4792
4793 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
4794
4795 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
4796 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
4797 [Steve Henson]
4798
4799 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
4800 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
4801
4802 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4803 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
4804 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
4805 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
4806 [Douglas Stebila]
4807
4808 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
4809 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
4810 [Steve Henson]
4811
4812 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
4813 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
4814 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
4815 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
4816 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
4817 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
4818 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
4819 can't be loaded.
4820 [Steve Henson]
4821
4822 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
4823 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
4824 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
4825 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
4826 [Steve Henson]
4827
4828 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
4829 under VC++ build system.
4830 [Steve Henson]
4831
4832 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
4833 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
4834 [Richard Levitte]
4835
4836 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
4837
4838 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4839 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4840 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4841 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4842 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4843
4844 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4845 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4846 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4847
4848 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
4849 [Steve Henson]
4850
4851 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
4852 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4853 [Nils Larsch]
4854
4855 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
4856 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
4857
4858 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
4859 [Nick Mathewson]
4860
4861 *) Extended Windows CE support.
4862 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
4863
4864 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
4865 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4866 [Steve Henson]
4867
4868 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
4869 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
4870 smime utility.
4871 [Steve Henson]
4872
4873 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
4874
4875 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4876 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
4877
4878 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
4879 [Richard Levitte]
4880
4881 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
4882 key into the same file any more.
4883 [Richard Levitte]
4884
4885 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
4886 [Andy Polyakov]
4887
4888 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
4889 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
4890
4891 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
4892 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
4893 [Richard Levitte]
4894
4895 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
4896 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
4897 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
4898 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
4899 this only applies when building 'shared'.
4900 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
4901
4902 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
4903 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
4904 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
4905 [Steve Henson]
4906
4907 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
4908 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
4909 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
4910 - add new function for parameter creation
4911 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
4912 BN_BLINDING parameters
4913 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
4914 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
4915 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
4916 threads.
4917 [Nils Larsch]
4918
4919 *) Add support for DTLS.
4920 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
4921
4922 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
4923 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
4924 [Walter Goulet]
4925
4926 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
4927 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
4928 [Nils Larsch]
4929
4930 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
4931 the apps/openssl applications.
4932 [Nils Larsch]
4933
4934 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
4935 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
4936 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
4937 [Ben Laurie]
4938
4939 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
4940 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
4941
4942 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
4943 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
4944
4945 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
4946 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
4947 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
4948 avoid this algorithm.)
4949
4950 [Bodo Moeller]
4951
4952 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
4953 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
4954 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
4955 [Richard Levitte]
4956
4957 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
4958 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
4959 [Andy Polyakov]
4960
4961 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
4962 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
4963 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
4964 pod file:
4965
4966 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
4967
4968 The blank line is mandatory.
4969
4970 [Steve Henson]
4971
4972 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
4973 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
4974 sources.
4975 [Steve Henson]
4976
4977 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
4978 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
4979
4980 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
4981 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
4982 to support policy checking and print out.
4983 [Steve Henson]
4984
4985 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
4986 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
4987 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
4988 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
4989
4990 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
4991 [Geoff Thorpe]
4992
4993 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
4994 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
4995
4996 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
4997 implementation contributed by IBM.
4998 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
4999
5000 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
5001 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
5002 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
5003 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
5004
5005 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
5006 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
5007
5008 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
5009 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
5010 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
5011 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
5012 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
5013 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
5014 [Steve Henson]
5015
5016 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
5017 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
5018 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
5019 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
5020 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
5021 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
5022 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
5023 [Geoff Thorpe]
5024
5025 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
5026 [Steve Henson]
5027
5028 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
5029 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
5030 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
5031 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
5032 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
5033 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
5034 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
5035 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
5036 [Steve Henson]
5037
5038 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
5039 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
5040 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
5041 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
5042 [Steve Henson]
5043
5044 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
5045 syntax:
5046
5047 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
5048 [Steve Henson]
5049
5050 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
5051 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
5052 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
5053 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
5054 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
5055 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
5056 BN_CTX's "bundling".
5057 [Geoff Thorpe]
5058
5059 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
5060 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
5061 [Geoff Thorpe]
5062
5063 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
5064 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
5065 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
5066 [Steve Henson]
5067
5068 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
5069 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
5070 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
5071 below).
5072 [Geoff Thorpe]
5073
5074 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
5075 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
5076 [Richard Levitte]
5077
5078 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
5079 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
5080 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
5081 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
5082 [Geoff Thorpe]
5083
5084 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
5085 initialised value as BN_new().
5086 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
5087
5088 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
5089 [Steve Henson]
5090
5091 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
5092 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
5093 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
5094 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
5095 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
5096 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
5097 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
5098 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
5099 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
5100 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
5101 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
5102 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
5103 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
5104 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
5105 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
5106
5107 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
5108 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
5109 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
5110 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
5111 [Geoff Thorpe]
5112
5113 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
5114 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
5115 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
5116 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
5117 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
5118 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
5119 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
5120 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
5121 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
5122 [Geoff Thorpe]
5123
5124 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
5125 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
5126 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
5127 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
5128 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
5129 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
5130 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
5131 [Geoff Thorpe]
5132
5133 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
5134 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
5135 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
5136 these have been updated also.
5137 [Geoff Thorpe]
5138
5139 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
5140 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
5141 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
5142 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
5143 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
5144 functions.
5145 [Steve Henson]
5146
5147 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
5148 structure of type "other".
5149 [Steve Henson]
5150
5151 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
5152 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
5153 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
5154 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
5155 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
5156 situation in the script.
5157 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5158
5159 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5160 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
5161 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
5162 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
5163 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
5164 used as premaster secret.
5165 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5166
5167 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
5168 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
5169 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5170
5171 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
5172 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
5173
5174 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
5175 control of the error stack.
5176 [Richard Levitte]
5177
5178 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
5179 [Richard Levitte]
5180
5181 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
5182 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
5183 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
5184 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
5185 [Richard Levitte]
5186
5187 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
5188 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
5189 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
5190 [Richard Levitte]
5191
5192 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
5193 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
5194 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
5195 a memory area.
5196 [Richard Levitte]
5197
5198 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
5199 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
5200 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
5201 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
5202 [Richard Levitte]
5203
5204 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
5205 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
5206 the following flags are defined:
5207
5208 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
5209 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5210 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
5211 number.
5212
5213 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
5214 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5215 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
5216 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
5217 returns zero.
5218 [Richard Levitte]
5219
5220 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
5221 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
5222 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
5223 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
5224 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
5225 [Richard Levitte]
5226
5227 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
5228 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
5229 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
5230 [Richard Levitte]
5231
5232 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5233 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5234 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5235 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5236 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5237 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5238 [Richard Levitte]
5239
5240 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
5241 req and dirName.
5242 [Steve Henson]
5243
5244 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
5245 [Steve Henson]
5246
5247 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
5248 [Steve Henson]
5249
5250 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
5251 [Steve Henson]
5252
5253 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
5254 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
5255 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
5256 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
5257 default implementation more easily.
5258 [Geoff Thorpe]
5259
5260 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
5261 in config files.
5262 [Steve Henson]
5263
5264 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
5265 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
5266 [Richard Levitte]
5267
5268 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
5269 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
5270 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
5271 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
5272
5273 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
5274 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
5275 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
5276 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
5277 [Steve Henson]
5278
5279 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
5280 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
5281 to do it.
5282 [Richard Levitte]
5283
5284 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
5285 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
5286 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
5287 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
5288 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
5289 scalar * generator).
5290 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
5291
5292 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
5293 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
5294 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
5295 correctly.
5296 [Steve Henson]
5297
5298 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
5299 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
5300 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
5301 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
5302 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
5303 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
5304 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
5305 linker additions, eg;
5306 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
5307 [Geoff Thorpe]
5308
5309 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
5310 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
5311 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
5312 [Geoff Thorpe]
5313
5314 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5315 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5316 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
5317 via PR#459)
5318 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5319
5320 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
5321 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
5322 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
5323 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
5324 [Geoff Thorpe]
5325
5326 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
5327 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
5328 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
5329 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
5330 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
5331 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
5332 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
5333 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
5334 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
5335 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
5336
5337 Example for using the new callback interface:
5338
5339 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
5340 void *my_arg = ...;
5341 BN_GENCB my_cb;
5342
5343 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
5344
5345 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
5346 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
5347 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
5348 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
5349 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
5350 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
5351 */
5352
5353 [Geoff Thorpe]
5354
5355 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
5356 available to TLS with the number defined in
5357 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
5358 [Richard Levitte]
5359
5360 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
5361 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
5362
5363 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
5364 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5365 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5366 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
5367
5368 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
5369 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
5370
5371 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
5372 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
5373 well.
5374 [Richard Levitte]
5375
5376 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
5377 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
5378 [Richard Levitte]
5379
5380 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
5381 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
5382 and a macro that behave like
5383 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
5384
5385 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
5386 [Nils Larsch]
5387
5388 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
5389 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
5390 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
5391 if applicable.
5392 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5393
5394 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
5395 [Bodo Moeller]
5396
5397 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
5398 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
5399 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
5400 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
5401 directory engines/.
5402 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
5403 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
5404 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
5405 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
5406 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
5407 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
5408 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
5409 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
5410
5411 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
5412 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
5413 [Richard Levitte]
5414
5415 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
5416 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
5417
5418 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
5419 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
5420 files while avoiding the low level API.
5421
5422 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
5423 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
5424 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
5425 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
5426
5427 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
5428 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
5429 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
5430 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
5431 instead of the low level API.
5432 [Steve Henson]
5433
5434 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
5435 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
5436 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
5437 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
5438 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
5439 PKCS#7 code.
5440
5441 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
5442 down to the template encoder.
5443 [Steve Henson]
5444
5445 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
5446 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
5447 [Bodo Moeller]
5448
5449 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
5450 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
5451 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
5452 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5453
5454 *) Add ECDH engine support.
5455 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5456
5457 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
5458 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5459
5460 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
5461 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
5462 [Bodo Moeller]
5463
5464 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
5465 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
5466 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
5467 [Bodo Moeller]
5468
5469 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
5470 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
5471
5472 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5473 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5474
5475 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
5476 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
5477 New EC_METHOD:
5478
5479 EC_GF2m_simple_method
5480
5481 New API functions:
5482
5483 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
5484 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
5485 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
5486 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5487 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5488 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
5489
5490 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
5491 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
5492 enable it).
5493
5494 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
5495 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
5496 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
5497 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
5498 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
5499 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
5500 various internal method names.)
5501
5502 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
5503 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
5504
5505 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5506 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5507
5508 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
5509 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
5510
5511 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
5512 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
5513 methods are undefined.
5514
5515 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5516 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5517
5518 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
5519 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
5520 length of the modulus.
5521
5522 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5523 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5524
5525 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
5526 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
5527
5528 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5529 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5530
5531 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
5532 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
5533 used) in the following functions [macros]:
5534
5535 BN_GF2m_add
5536 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
5537 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
5538 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
5539 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
5540 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
5541 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
5542 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
5543 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
5544 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
5545
5546 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
5547 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
5548
5549 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
5550 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
5551 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
5552 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
5553 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
5554 where
5555 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
5556 This applies to the following functions:
5557
5558 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
5559 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
5560 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
5561 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
5562 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
5563 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
5564 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
5565 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
5566 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5567 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5568
5569 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
5570
5571 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5572 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5573
5574 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
5575
5576 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
5577 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
5578 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
5579 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
5580 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
5581
5582 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5583 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5584
5585 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
5586 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
5587 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
5588
5589 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
5590 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
5591
5592 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
5593 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
5594 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
5595 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
5596 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5597
5598 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
5599 functions
5600 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
5601 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
5602 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
5603 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
5604 These control ASN1 encoding details:
5605 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
5606 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
5607 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
5608 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
5609 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
5610 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
5611 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
5612
5613 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
5614 functions
5615 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
5616 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
5617 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
5618 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
5619 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5620
5621 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
5622 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
5623 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
5624 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5625
5626 *) Add functions
5627 EC_POINT_point2bn()
5628 EC_POINT_bn2point()
5629 EC_POINT_point2hex()
5630 EC_POINT_hex2point()
5631 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
5632 EC_POINT_oct2point().
5633 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5634
5635 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
5636 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
5637 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
5638 EC_GROUP_get_order()
5639 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
5640 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
5641 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
5642 adding different types of curves.
5643 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
5644
5645 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
5646 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
5647 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
5648 [Bodo Moeller]
5649
5650 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
5651 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
5652
5653 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
5654 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
5655 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
5656 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5657
5658 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
5659
5660 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
5661 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
5662
5663 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
5664 library. Most notably,
5665 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
5666 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
5667 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
5668 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
5669 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
5670 extracted before the specific public key;
5671 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
5672 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5673
5674 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
5675 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
5676 function
5677 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
5678 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
5679 EC_get_builtin_curves().
5680 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
5681 accessed via
5682 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
5683 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
5684 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
5685
5686 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5687 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5688 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5689 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5690 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5691 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5692 differing sizes.
5693 [Richard Levitte]
5694
5695 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
5696
5697 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
5698 sensitive data.
5699 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
5700
5701 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5702 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5703 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5704 [Bodo Moeller]
5705
5706 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
5707 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5708 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
5709 [Victor Duchovni]
5710
5711 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
5712 [Steve Henson]
5713
5714 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
5715 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
5716 [Steve Henson]
5717
5718 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
5719 run algorithm test programs.
5720 [Steve Henson]
5721
5722 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
5723 [Steve Henson]
5724
5725 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5726 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5727 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5728 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5729 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5730 [Bodo Moeller]
5731
5732 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5733 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5734 [Steve Henson]
5735
5736 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
5737
5738 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5739 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5740 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5741
5742 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5743 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5744
5745 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5746 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5747
5748 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5749 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5750 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5751
5752 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
5753 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
5754 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
5755 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
5756 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
5757 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
5758 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
5759 [Bodo Moeller]
5760
5761 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
5762
5763 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5764 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5765
5766 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5767 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5768 undesirable limitations.
5769 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5770
5771 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5772
5773 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5774 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5775 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5776
5777 The latter two were purportedly from
5778 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5779 appear there.
5780
5781 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
5782 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5783 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5784 [Bodo Moeller]
5785
5786 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5787 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5788 [Bodo Moeller]
5789
5790 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
5791
5792 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
5793 module in FIPS mode.
5794 [Steve Henson]
5795
5796 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
5797 [Steve Henson]
5798
5799 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
5800 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
5801 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
5802 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
5803 [Steve Henson]
5804
5805 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
5806
5807 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
5808 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
5809 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
5810 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
5811 the difference induced by this change.
5812 [Andy Polyakov]
5813
5814 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
5815
5816 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5817 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5818 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5819 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5820 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5821
5822 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5823 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5824 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5825
5826 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
5827 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
5828 [Steve Henson]
5829
5830 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
5831 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
5832 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
5833 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
5834 biased k.)
5835 [Bodo Moeller]
5836
5837 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
5838 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
5839 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
5840 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
5841 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
5842
5843 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
5844 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
5845 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
5846 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
5847 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
5848 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
5849
5850 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
5851
5852 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
5853 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
5854 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
5855 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
5856 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
5857 [Bodo Moeller]
5858
5859 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
5860 clients need.
5861 [Steve Henson]
5862
5863 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
5864 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
5865 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
5866 [Steve Henson]
5867
5868 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
5869 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
5870 structures constant.
5871 [Steve Henson]
5872
5873 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
5874
5875 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5876 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5877
5878 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
5879 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
5880 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
5881 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
5882 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
5883 some needed definitions.
5884 [Steve Henson]
5885
5886 *) Undo Cygwin change.
5887 [Ulf Möller]
5888
5889 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
5890 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
5891 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
5892 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
5893 [Richard Levitte]
5894
5895 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
5896
5897 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
5898 server and client random values. Previously
5899 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
5900 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
5901
5902 This change has negligible security impact because:
5903
5904 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
5905 data.
5906
5907 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
5908 handshake.
5909
5910 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
5911 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
5912 values.
5913
5914 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
5915 to our attention.
5916
5917 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
5918
5919 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
5920 [Ulf Möller]
5921
5922 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
5923 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
5924 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
5925
5926 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
5927 [Steve Henson]
5928
5929 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
5930 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
5931 [Andy Polyakov]
5932
5933 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
5934 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
5935 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
5936
5937 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
5938 [Steve Henson]
5939
5940 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
5941 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
5942 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
5943 certificates.
5944 [Steve Henson]
5945
5946 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
5947 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
5948 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
5949 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
5950
5951 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
5952 has chosen to ignore this fault)
5953 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
5954 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
5955 been given)
5956 [Richard Levitte]
5957
5958 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
5959
5960 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
5961 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
5962 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
5963 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
5964 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
5965 [Steve Henson]
5966
5967 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
5968 [Steve Henson]
5969
5970 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
5971 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
5972
5973 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
5974 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
5975 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
5976 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
5977 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
5978 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
5979 rather than being initialized to 1.
5980 [Steve Henson]
5981
5982 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
5983
5984 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
5985 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
5986 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5987
5988 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
5989 (CVE-2004-0112)
5990 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5991
5992 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5993 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5994 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5995 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5996 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5997 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5998 [Richard Levitte]
5999
6000 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
6001 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
6002 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
6003 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
6004 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
6005 for these cases.
6006 [Steve Henson]
6007
6008 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
6009 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
6010 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
6011 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
6012 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
6013 [Steve Henson]
6014
6015 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
6016 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
6017 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
6018 < 0.9.7.
6019 [Steve Henson]
6020
6021 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
6022 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6023
6024 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
6025 [Steve Henson]
6026
6027 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
6028
6029 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6030
6031 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6032 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6033
6034 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
6035
6036 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6037 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6038
6039 [Steve Henson]
6040
6041 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
6042 exiting on the first error in a request.
6043 [Steve Henson]
6044
6045 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6046 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6047 specifications.
6048 [Steve Henson]
6049
6050 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6051 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6052 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6053 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6054
6055 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6056 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6057 [Richard Levitte]
6058
6059 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
6060 blocks during encryption.
6061 [Richard Levitte]
6062
6063 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
6064 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
6065 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
6066 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
6067 certain size.
6068 [Steve Henson]
6069
6070 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
6071 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
6072 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
6073 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
6074 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
6075 parser.
6076 [Steve Henson]
6077
6078 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
6079
6080 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6081 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6082 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6083 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6084 [Bodo Moeller]
6085
6086 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6087 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6088 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6089 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6090 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6091
6092 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6093 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6094 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6095 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6096 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6097 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6098 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6099 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6100 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6101 [Bodo Moeller]
6102
6103 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
6104 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
6105 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
6106 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
6107 [Geoff Thorpe]
6108
6109 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
6110 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
6111 [Ulf Moeller]
6112
6113 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
6114
6115 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6116 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
6117 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6118 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6119 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6120
6121 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6122 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6123 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6124
6125 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
6126 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
6127 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
6128 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
6129 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
6130
6131 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
6132 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
6133 used by default when no-err is given.
6134 [Richard Levitte]
6135
6136 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
6137 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
6138
6139 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
6140 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
6141 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
6142 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
6143 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
6144
6145 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
6146 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
6147 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
6148 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
6149
6150 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
6151
6152 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
6153
6154 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
6155
6156 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
6157 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
6158 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
6159 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
6160 root is omitted).
6161 [Steve Henson]
6162
6163 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
6164 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6165
6166 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
6167 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
6168 [Steve Henson]
6169
6170 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6171 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6172 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
6173 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
6174 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6175
6176 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
6177 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
6178 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
6179 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
6180 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
6181 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6182 followup to PR #377.
6183 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6184
6185 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
6186 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
6187 [Andy Polyakov]
6188
6189 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
6190 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
6191 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
6192 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
6193
6194 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
6195
6196 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
6197 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
6198
6199 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
6200 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
6201 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
6202 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
6203 client and server.
6204 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6205 PR #377.
6206 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6207
6208 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
6209 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
6210 removed entirely.
6211 [Richard Levitte]
6212
6213 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
6214 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
6215 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
6216 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
6217 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
6218 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
6219 of libcrypto.
6220 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
6221 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
6222 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
6223 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
6224 have to be made anyway).
6225 [Richard Levitte]
6226
6227 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
6228 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
6229 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
6230 [Steve Henson]
6231
6232 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
6233 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
6234 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
6235 [Richard Levitte]
6236
6237 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
6238 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
6239 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6240
6241 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
6242 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
6243 edit numbers of the version.
6244 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6245
6246 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
6247 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
6248 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
6249
6250 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
6251 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6252
6253 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6254 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6255 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6256
6257 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
6258 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6259
6260 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
6261 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6262
6263 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
6264 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6265
6266 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
6267 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6268
6269 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
6270 overflows.
6271 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6272
6273 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
6274 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
6275 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6276
6277 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
6278 representations in a platform independent manner.
6279 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6280
6281 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6282 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6283 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6284
6285 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
6286 indents.
6287 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6288
6289 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
6290 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6291
6292 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
6293 full. Fixed.
6294 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6295
6296 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
6297 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
6298 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6299
6300 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
6301 unconditionally).
6302 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6303
6304 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
6305 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6306
6307 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
6308 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6309
6310 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
6311 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6312
6313 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
6314 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6315
6316 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
6317 CBCParameter.
6318 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6319
6320 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
6321 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6322
6323 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
6324 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6325
6326 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
6327 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
6328 exploitable.
6329 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6330
6331 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
6332 the 0.9.6 release series:
6333
6334 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6335 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
6336 (CVE-2002-0657)
6337 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6338
6339 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
6340 [Richard Levitte]
6341
6342 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
6343 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
6344
6345 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
6346 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
6347
6348 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
6349 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
6350 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
6351 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
6352
6353 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
6354 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
6355 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
6356
6357 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
6358 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
6359 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
6360 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6361
6362 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
6363 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
6364 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
6365 some local tweaks:
6366
6367 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
6368 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
6369 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
6370 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6371 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6372 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
6373 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
6374 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
6375 done
6376
6377 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
6378 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
6379 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
6380 [Richard Levitte]
6381
6382 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
6383 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
6384 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
6385 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
6386 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
6387
6388 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
6389 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
6390
6391 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
6392 error in AES-CFB decryption.
6393 [Richard Levitte]
6394
6395 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
6396 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
6397 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
6398 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
6399 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
6400 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
6401 [Steve Henson]
6402
6403 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
6404 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
6405 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
6406 [Steve Henson]
6407
6408 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
6409 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
6410 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6411
6412 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
6413 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
6414 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
6415 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
6416 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
6417 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
6418 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
6419 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6420
6421 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
6422 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
6423 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
6424 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
6425 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
6426 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
6427 [Steve Henson]
6428
6429 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
6430 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
6431 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
6432 declaration has been changed from
6433 int (*cb)()
6434 into
6435 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
6436 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
6437 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
6438 has been changed into
6439 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
6440
6441 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
6442 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
6443 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
6444
6445 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
6446 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
6447
6448 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
6449 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
6450 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
6451 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
6452 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
6453 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
6454 always load it have also been added.
6455 [Steve Henson]
6456
6457 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
6458 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
6459 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6460
6461 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
6462
6463 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
6464 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
6465 because it couldn't be used for anything.
6466
6467 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
6468 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
6469 command line option can be used to specify an
6470 alternative file.
6471 [Steve Henson]
6472
6473 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
6474 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
6475 [Steve Henson]
6476
6477 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
6478 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
6479 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
6480 [Steve Henson]
6481
6482 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
6483 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6484 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
6485 to work with the new engine framework.
6486 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
6487
6488 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
6489 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6490 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
6491 to work with the new engine framework.
6492 [Richard Levitte]
6493
6494 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
6495 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
6496 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
6497
6498 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
6499 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
6500
6501 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
6502 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
6503 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
6504 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
6505 FORMAT_IISSGC.
6506 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6507
6508 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6509 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6510
6511 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
6512 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
6513
6514 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
6515 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
6516 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
6517 [Ben Laurie]
6518
6519 *) Add new functions
6520 ERR_peek_last_error
6521 ERR_peek_last_error_line
6522 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
6523 These are similar to
6524 ERR_peek_error
6525 ERR_peek_error_line
6526 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
6527 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
6528 still in the error queue.
6529 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
6530
6531 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
6532 like:
6533 default_algorithms = ALL
6534 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
6535 [Steve Henson]
6536
6537 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
6538 [Steve Henson]
6539
6540 *) New experimental application configuration code.
6541 [Steve Henson]
6542
6543 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
6544 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
6545 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
6546 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6547
6548 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
6549 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
6550
6551 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
6552 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6553
6554 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
6555 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
6556 [Bodo Moeller]
6557
6558 *) New functions/macros
6559
6560 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
6561 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
6562 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
6563 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
6564
6565 to request calling a callback function
6566
6567 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
6568 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
6569
6570 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
6571 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
6572 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
6573 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
6574 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
6575 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
6576 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
6577 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
6578 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
6579 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
6580
6581 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
6582 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
6583 [Bodo Moeller]
6584
6585 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
6586 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
6587 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
6588 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
6589 the configuration scripts.
6590
6591 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
6592 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
6593 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
6594
6595 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
6596 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6597
6598 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
6599 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
6600 when reusing an existing buffer.
6601 [Bodo Moeller]
6602
6603 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
6604 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
6605 [Steve Henson]
6606
6607 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
6608 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
6609 [Ben Laurie]
6610
6611 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
6612 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
6613 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
6614 has the same effect.
6615 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6616
6617 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
6618 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
6619 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
6620 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
6621 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
6622 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
6623 exception.
6624
6625 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
6626 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
6627 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
6628 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
6629
6630 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
6631 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
6632 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
6633 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
6634
6635 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
6636 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
6637 won't work.
6638
6639 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
6640 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
6641 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
6642 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
6643 default), and then completely removed.
6644 [Richard Levitte]
6645
6646 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
6647 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
6648 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
6649 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
6650 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
6651 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
6652 particular extension is supported.
6653 [Steve Henson]
6654
6655 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
6656 to retain compatibility with existing code.
6657 [Steve Henson]
6658
6659 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
6660 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
6661 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
6662 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
6663 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
6664 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
6665 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
6666 requires the destination to be valid.
6667
6668 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
6669 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
6670 [Steve Henson]
6671
6672 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
6673 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
6674 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
6675 [Bodo Moeller]
6676
6677 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
6678 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
6679
6680 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
6681 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
6682 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
6683 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
6684 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
6685 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
6686 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
6687 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
6688 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
6689 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
6690 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
6691 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
6692 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
6693 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
6694 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
6695 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
6696 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
6697 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
6698 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
6699 the new code.
6700 [Geoff Thorpe]
6701
6702 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
6703 [Steve Henson]
6704
6705 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
6706 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
6707 become part of libeay.num as well.
6708 [Richard Levitte]
6709
6710 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
6711 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
6712 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
6713 false once a handshake has been completed.
6714 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
6715 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
6716 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
6717 client has followed the request.)
6718 [Bodo Moeller]
6719
6720 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
6721 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
6722 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
6723 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
6724
6725 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
6726 more bits available for options that should not be part of
6727 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
6728 [Bodo Moeller]
6729
6730 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
6731 [Steve Henson]
6732
6733 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
6734 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
6735 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
6736 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6737
6738 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
6739 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6740 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6741
6742 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
6743 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
6744 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
6745 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
6746 [Geoff Thorpe]
6747
6748 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
6749 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
6750 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
6751 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
6752 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
6753 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
6754 [Geoff Thorpe]
6755
6756 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
6757 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
6758 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
6759 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
6760 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
6761 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
6762 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
6763 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
6764 [Geoff Thorpe]
6765
6766 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
6767 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
6768 [Geoff Thorpe]
6769
6770 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
6771 [Ben Laurie]
6772
6773 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
6774 md_data void pointer.
6775 [Ben Laurie]
6776
6777 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
6778 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
6779 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
6780 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
6781 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
6782 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
6783 [Ben Laurie]
6784
6785 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
6786 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
6787 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
6788 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
6789 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
6790 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
6791 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
6792 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
6793 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
6794 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
6795 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
6796 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
6797 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
6798 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
6799 rather than letting it slide.
6800
6801 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
6802 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
6803 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
6804 [Geoff Thorpe]
6805
6806 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
6807 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
6808 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
6809 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
6810 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
6811 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
6812 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
6813 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
6814 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
6815 [Geoff Thorpe]
6816
6817 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
6818 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
6819 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
6820 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
6821 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
6822
6823 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
6824 [Geoff Thorpe]
6825
6826 *) Add EVP test program.
6827 [Ben Laurie]
6828
6829 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
6830 [Ben Laurie]
6831
6832 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
6833 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
6834 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
6835 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
6836 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
6837 [Steve Henson]
6838
6839 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
6840 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
6841 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
6842 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
6843 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
6844 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
6845 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
6846
6847 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
6848 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
6849 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
6850 Usage example:
6851
6852 EVP_MD_CTX md;
6853
6854 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
6855 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
6856 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
6857 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
6858 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
6859
6860 [Ben Laurie]
6861
6862 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
6863 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
6864 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
6865 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
6866 anyway): E.g.,
6867
6868 des_key_schedule ks;
6869
6870 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
6871 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
6872
6873 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
6874 [Ben Laurie]
6875
6876 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
6877 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
6878 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
6879 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
6880 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
6881 functions prevents this.
6882 [Steve Henson]
6883
6884 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
6885 [Ben Laurie]
6886
6887 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
6888 correct _ecb suffix.
6889 [Ben Laurie]
6890
6891 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
6892 revocation information is handled using the text based index
6893 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
6894 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
6895 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
6896 [Steve Henson]
6897
6898 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
6899 [Richard Levitte]
6900
6901 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
6902 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
6903 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
6904 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
6905
6906 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
6907 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
6908
6909 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
6910 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
6911 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
6912 via Richard Levitte]
6913
6914 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
6915 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
6916 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
6917 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
6918 [Geoff Thorpe]
6919
6920 *) Speed up EVP routines.
6921 Before:
6922 encrypt
6923 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
6924 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
6925 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k
6926 des-cbc 4394.32k 5575.92k 5807.44k 5848.37k 5841.30k
6927 decrypt
6928 des-cbc 3482.66k 5069.49k 5496.39k 5614.16k 5639.28k
6929 des-cbc 3480.74k 5068.76k 5510.34k 5609.87k 5635.52k
6930 des-cbc 3483.72k 5067.62k 5504.60k 5708.01k 5724.80k
6931 After:
6932 encrypt
6933 des-cbc 4660.16k 5650.19k 5807.19k 5827.13k 5783.32k
6934 decrypt
6935 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
6936 [Ben Laurie]
6937
6938 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
6939 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
6940
6941 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
6942 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
6943 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
6944 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
6945 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
6946 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
6947 [Steve Henson]
6948
6949 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
6950 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
6951 [Richard Levitte]
6952
6953 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
6954 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
6955 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
6956 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
6957
6958 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
6959 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
6960 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
6961 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
6962 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
6963 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
6964 callback.
6965 [Richard Levitte]
6966
6967 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
6968 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
6969 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
6970 and interrupts/cancellations.
6971 [Richard Levitte]
6972
6973 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
6974 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
6975 [Steve Henson]
6976
6977 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
6978 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
6979 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
6980
6981 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
6982 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
6983 kind of callback.
6984 [Richard Levitte]
6985
6986 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
6987 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
6988 than this minimum value is recommended.
6989 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6990
6991 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
6992 that are easily reachable.
6993 [Richard Levitte]
6994
6995 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
6996 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
6997
6998 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
6999
7000 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
7001 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
7002 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
7003 needed for static libraries under Win32.
7004 [Steve Henson]
7005
7006 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
7007 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
7008 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
7009 [Steve Henson]
7010
7011 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
7012 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
7013 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
7014 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
7015 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
7016 internally such as S/MIME.
7017
7018 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
7019 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
7020 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
7021
7022 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
7023 applications.
7024 [Steve Henson]
7025
7026 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
7027 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
7028 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
7029 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
7030
7031 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7032
7033 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
7034
7035 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
7036 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
7037 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
7038 handling.
7039 [Steve Henson]
7040
7041 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
7042 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
7043 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
7044 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
7045 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
7046 a window system and the like.
7047 [Richard Levitte]
7048
7049 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
7050 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
7051 [Geoff]
7052
7053 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
7054 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
7055 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
7056 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
7057 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
7058 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
7059 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
7060 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
7061 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
7062 ENGINE structure.
7063 [Geoff]
7064
7065 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
7066 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
7067 tag cache.
7068 [Steve Henson]
7069
7070 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
7071 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
7072 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
7073 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
7074 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
7075 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
7076 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
7077 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
7078 [Geoff]
7079
7080 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
7081 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
7082 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
7083 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
7084 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
7085 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
7086 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
7087 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
7088 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
7089 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
7090 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
7091 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
7092 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
7093 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
7094 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
7095 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
7096 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
7097 [Geoff]
7098
7099 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
7100 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
7101 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
7102 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
7103 internal engine_int.h header.
7104 [Geoff]
7105
7106 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
7107 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
7108 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
7109 modify their own ones).
7110 [Geoff]
7111
7112 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
7113 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
7114 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
7115 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
7116 later on via ctrl() commands.
7117 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
7118 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
7119 structural references.
7120 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
7121 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
7122 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
7123 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
7124 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
7125 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
7126 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
7127 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
7128 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
7129 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
7130 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
7131 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
7132 [Geoff]
7133
7134 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
7135 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
7136 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
7137 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
7138 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
7139 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
7140 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
7141 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
7142 [Bodo Moeller]
7143
7144 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
7145 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
7146 [Steve Henson]
7147
7148 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
7149 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
7150 [Steve Henson]
7151
7152 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
7153 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
7154 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
7155 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
7156 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
7157 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
7158 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
7159 [Steve Henson]
7160
7161 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
7162 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
7163 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
7164 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
7165 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
7166
7167 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
7168 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
7169 generator).
7170 [Bodo Moeller]
7171
7172 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
7173
7174 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
7175 operations and provides various method functions that can also
7176 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
7177
7178 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
7179 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
7180
7181 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
7182 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
7183 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
7184
7185 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
7186 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
7187
7188 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
7189 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
7190
7191 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
7192
7193 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
7194 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
7195 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
7196 [Bodo Moeller]
7197
7198 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
7199 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
7200 [Richard Levitte]
7201
7202 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
7203 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
7204 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
7205 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
7206 is 40 of more characters long.
7207 [Steve Henson]
7208
7209 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
7210 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
7211 pointers.
7212 [Steve Henson]
7213
7214 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
7215 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
7216 [Bodo Moeller]
7217
7218 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
7219 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
7220 might.
7221 [Steve Henson]
7222
7223 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
7224
7225 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
7226 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
7227
7228 ASN1 error codes
7229 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
7230 ...
7231 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
7232 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
7233 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
7234 ...
7235 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
7236 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
7237
7238 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
7239 [Bodo Moeller]
7240
7241 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
7242 suffices.
7243 [Bodo Moeller]
7244
7245 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
7246 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
7247 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
7248 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
7249 and
7250 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
7251
7252 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
7253 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
7254
7255 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
7256 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
7257 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
7258 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
7259 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
7260 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
7261
7262 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
7263 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
7264
7265 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
7266 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7267
7268 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
7269 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
7270
7271 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
7272 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
7273 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7274 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
7275
7276 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
7277 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
7278
7279 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
7280 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
7281
7282 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
7283 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
7284 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
7285 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
7286 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
7287 [Richard Levitte]
7288
7289 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
7290 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
7291 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
7292 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
7293 [Steve Henson]
7294
7295 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
7296 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
7297 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
7298 trust settings.
7299 [Steve Henson]
7300
7301 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
7302 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
7303 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
7304 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
7305 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
7306 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
7307 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
7308 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
7309 ocsp utility.
7310 [Steve Henson]
7311
7312 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
7313 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
7314 [Steve Henson]
7315
7316 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
7317 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
7318 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
7319 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
7320 [Steve Henson]
7321
7322 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
7323 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
7324 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
7325 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
7326 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
7327 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
7328 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
7329 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
7330 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
7331 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
7332 [Steve Henson]
7333
7334 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
7335 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
7336 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
7337 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
7338 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
7339 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
7340 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
7341 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7342
7343 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
7344 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
7345 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
7346 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
7347 [Richard Levitte]
7348
7349 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
7350 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
7351 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
7352 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
7353 opensslconf.h.
7354 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
7355 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
7356 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
7357 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
7358 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
7359 what is available.
7360 [Richard Levitte]
7361
7362 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
7363 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
7364 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
7365 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
7366 auto incremented.
7367 [Steve Henson]
7368
7369 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
7370 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
7371 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
7372 [Steve Henson]
7373
7374 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
7375 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
7376 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
7377 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
7378 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
7379 [Steve Henson]
7380
7381 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
7382 [Steve Henson]
7383
7384 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
7385 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
7386 option to ocsp utility.
7387 [Steve Henson]
7388
7389 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
7390 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
7391 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
7392 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
7393 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
7394 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
7395 the request is nonce-less.
7396 [Steve Henson]
7397
7398 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
7399 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
7400 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
7401 [Bodo Moeller]
7402
7403 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
7404 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
7405 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
7406 [Steve Henson]
7407
7408 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
7409 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
7410 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
7411 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
7412 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
7413 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7414
7415 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
7416 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
7417 appear to exist.
7418 [Steve Henson]
7419
7420 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
7421 additional certificates supplied.
7422 [Steve Henson]
7423
7424 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
7425 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
7426 signature against.
7427 [Richard Levitte]
7428
7429 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
7430 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
7431 AES OIDs.
7432
7433 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
7434 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
7435 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
7436 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
7437 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
7438 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
7439 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
7440 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
7441 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
7442
7443 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
7444 request to response.
7445 [Steve Henson]
7446
7447 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
7448 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
7449 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
7450 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
7451 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
7452 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
7453 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
7454 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
7455 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
7456 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
7457 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
7458 [Steve Henson]
7459
7460 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
7461 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
7462 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
7463 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
7464 [Steve Henson]
7465
7466 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
7467 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7468
7469 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
7470 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
7471 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
7472 [Steve Henson]
7473
7474 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
7475 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
7476 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
7477 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7478 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7479
7480 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
7481 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
7482 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
7483 [Steve Henson]
7484
7485 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
7486 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
7487 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
7488 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
7489 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
7490 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
7491 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7492 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7493
7494 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
7495 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
7496 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
7497 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
7498 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
7499 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
7500 [Steve Henson]
7501
7502 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
7503 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
7504 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
7505 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
7506 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
7507 printout format cleaned up.
7508 [Steve Henson]
7509
7510 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
7511 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
7512 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
7513 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
7514 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
7515 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
7516 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
7517 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
7518 [Steve Henson]
7519
7520 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
7521 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
7522 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
7523 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
7524 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
7525 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
7526 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
7527 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
7528 [Steve Henson]
7529
7530 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
7531 extensions from a separate configuration file.
7532 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
7533 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
7534 section to use.
7535 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7536
7537 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
7538 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
7539 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
7540 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
7541 [Steve Henson]
7542
7543 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
7544 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
7545 the given serial number (according to the index file).
7546 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
7547 in the index file.
7548 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7549
7550 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
7551 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
7552 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
7553 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7554
7555 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
7556 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
7557
7558 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
7559 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
7560 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
7561 [Steve Henson]
7562
7563 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
7564 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
7565 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
7566 [Bodo Moeller]
7567
7568 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
7569 file name and line number information in additional arguments
7570 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
7571 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
7572 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
7573 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
7574 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
7575 functions are provided:
7576
7577 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
7578 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
7579 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
7580 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
7581
7582 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
7583 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
7584 extended allocation function is enabled.
7585 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
7586 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
7587 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
7588
7589 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
7590 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
7591 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
7592 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
7593 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
7594 [Geoff Thorpe]
7595
7596 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
7597 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
7598 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
7599 be queried.
7600 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
7601 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
7602 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
7603 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7604
7605 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
7606 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
7607 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
7608 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
7609 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
7610 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
7611 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
7612 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
7613 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
7614 [Richard Levitte]
7615
7616 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
7617 provide utility functions which an application needing
7618 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
7619 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
7620 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
7621
7622 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
7623 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
7624 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
7625 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
7626 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
7627 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
7628 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
7629 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
7630 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
7631
7632 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
7633 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
7634 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
7635 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
7636 [Steve Henson]
7637
7638 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
7639 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
7640 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
7641 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
7642 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
7643 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
7644 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
7645 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
7646 will be added elsewhere.
7647 [Steve Henson]
7648
7649 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
7650 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
7651 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
7652 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
7653 [Steve Henson]
7654
7655 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
7656 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
7657 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
7658 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
7659 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
7660 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
7661 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
7662 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
7663 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
7664 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
7665 to produce the required SET OF.
7666 [Steve Henson]
7667
7668 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
7669 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
7670 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
7671 [Richard Levitte]
7672
7673 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
7674 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
7675 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
7676 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
7677 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
7678 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
7679 [Steve Henson]
7680
7681 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
7682 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
7683 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
7684 [Steve Henson]
7685
7686 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
7687 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
7688 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
7689 [Richard Levitte]
7690
7691 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
7692 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
7693 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
7694 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
7695 code will still work when these eventually go away.
7696 [Steve Henson]
7697
7698 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
7699 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
7700 [Steve Henson]
7701
7702 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
7703 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
7704 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
7705 certificates and CRLs.
7706 [Steve Henson]
7707
7708 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
7709 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
7710 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
7711 [Steve Henson]
7712
7713 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
7714 entries for variables.
7715 [Steve Henson]
7716
7717 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
7718 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
7719 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
7720 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
7721 [Bodo Moeller]
7722
7723 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
7724 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
7725 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
7726 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
7727 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
7728 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
7729 [Bodo Moeller]
7730
7731 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
7732 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
7733
7734 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
7735 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
7736 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
7737 [Steve Henson]
7738
7739 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
7740 print routines.
7741 [Steve Henson]
7742
7743 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
7744 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
7745 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
7746 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
7747 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
7748 order did not reflect the encoded order.
7749 [Steve Henson]
7750
7751 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
7752 [Steve Henson]
7753
7754 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
7755 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
7756 for now but they will eventually go away.
7757 [Steve Henson]
7758
7759 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
7760 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
7761 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
7762 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
7763 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
7764 has also been converted to the new form.
7765 [Steve Henson]
7766
7767 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
7768 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
7769 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
7770 for negative moduli.
7771 [Bodo Moeller]
7772
7773 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
7774 of not touching the result's sign bit.
7775 [Bodo Moeller]
7776
7777 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
7778 set.
7779 [Bodo Moeller]
7780
7781 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
7782 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
7783 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
7784 type-specific callbacks.
7785 [Geoff Thorpe]
7786
7787 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
7788 RFC 2712.
7789 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7790 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
7791
7792 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
7793 in sections depending on the subject.
7794 [Richard Levitte]
7795
7796 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
7797 Windows.
7798 [Richard Levitte]
7799
7800 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
7801 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
7802 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
7803 be handled deterministically).
7804 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7805
7806 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
7807 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
7808 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
7809 [Bodo Moeller]
7810
7811 *) New function BN_kronecker.
7812 [Bodo Moeller]
7813
7814 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
7815 positive unless both parameters are zero.
7816 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
7817 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
7818 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
7819 [Bodo Moeller]
7820
7821 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
7822 sign of the number in question.
7823
7824 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
7825
7826 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
7827 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
7828 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
7829 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
7830 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
7831 [Bodo Moeller]
7832
7833 *) New function BN_swap.
7834 [Bodo Moeller]
7835
7836 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
7837 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
7838 results on negative inputs.
7839 [Bodo Moeller]
7840
7841 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
7842 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
7843 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
7844 [Bodo Moeller]
7845
7846 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
7847 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
7848 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
7849 and add new functions:
7850
7851 BN_nnmod
7852 BN_mod_sqr
7853 BN_mod_add
7854 BN_mod_add_quick
7855 BN_mod_sub
7856 BN_mod_sub_quick
7857 BN_mod_lshift1
7858 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
7859 BN_mod_lshift
7860 BN_mod_lshift_quick
7861
7862 These functions always generate non-negative results.
7863
7864 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
7865 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
7866
7867 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
7868 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
7869 be reduced modulo m.
7870 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7871
7872 #if 0
7873 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
7874 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
7875 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
7876
7877 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
7878 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
7879 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
7880 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
7881 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
7882 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
7883 differing sizes.
7884 [Richard Levitte]
7885 #endif
7886
7887 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
7888 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
7889 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
7890 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
7891 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
7892
7893 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
7894 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
7895 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
7896 cause any problems.
7897 [Bodo Moeller]
7898
7899 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
7900 [Richard Levitte]
7901
7902 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
7903 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
7904 [Richard Levitte]
7905
7906 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
7907 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
7908 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
7909 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
7910 time)
7911 [Richard Levitte]
7912
7913 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
7914 [Richard Levitte]
7915
7916 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
7917 [Richard Levitte]
7918
7919 *) Add the following functions:
7920
7921 ENGINE_load_cswift()
7922 ENGINE_load_chil()
7923 ENGINE_load_atalla()
7924 ENGINE_load_nuron()
7925 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
7926
7927 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
7928 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
7929 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
7930 libraries unless it's really needed.
7931
7932 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
7933 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
7934 declarations (they differed!).
7935 [Richard Levitte]
7936
7937 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
7938 [Richard Levitte]
7939
7940 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
7941 [Richard Levitte]
7942
7943 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
7944 [Bodo Moeller]
7945
7946 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
7947 identity, and test if they are actually available.
7948 [Richard Levitte]
7949
7950 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
7951 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
7952 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7953
7954 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
7955 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
7956 [Richard Levitte]
7957
7958 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
7959 [Richard Levitte]
7960
7961 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
7962 [Richard Levitte]
7963
7964 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
7965 [Ben Laurie]
7966
7967 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
7968 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
7969 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
7970
7971 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
7972 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
7973 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
7974 different shared library filenames on each system.
7975 [Geoff Thorpe]
7976
7977 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
7978 [Richard Levitte]
7979
7980 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
7981 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
7982 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
7983 of two sections.
7984 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
7985
7986 *) NCONF changes.
7987 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
7988 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
7989 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
7990 binary backward compatibility.
7991 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
7992 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
7993 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
7994 LDAP server.
7995 [Richard Levitte]
7996
7997 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
7998 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
7999 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
8000 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
8001 this case.
8002 [Steve Henson]
8003
8004 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
8005 [Ben Laurie]
8006
8007 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
8008 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
8009 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
8010 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
8011 set.
8012 [Steve Henson]
8013
8014 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
8015 [Richard Levitte]
8016
8017 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
8018
8019 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
8020 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
8021 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
8022
8023 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
8024
8025 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
8026
8027 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
8028 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
8029 [Steve Henson]
8030
8031 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
8032
8033 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
8034
8035 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
8036 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
8037
8038 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
8039 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
8040
8041 [Steve Henson]
8042
8043 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
8044 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
8045 specifications.
8046 [Steve Henson]
8047
8048 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
8049 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
8050 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
8051 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
8052
8053 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
8054 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
8055 [Richard Levitte]
8056
8057 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
8058
8059 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
8060 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
8061 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
8062 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
8063 [Bodo Moeller]
8064
8065 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
8066 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
8067 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
8068 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
8069 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8070
8071 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
8072 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
8073 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
8074 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
8075 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
8076 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
8077 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
8078 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
8079 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
8080 [Bodo Moeller]
8081
8082 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
8083
8084 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
8085 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
8086 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
8087 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
8088 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
8089
8090 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
8091 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
8092 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
8093
8094 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
8095
8096 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
8097 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
8098 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
8099 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
8100 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
8101 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
8102 [Geoff Thorpe]
8103
8104 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
8105 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
8106 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
8107 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
8108 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
8109 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8110
8111 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
8112 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
8113 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
8114
8115 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
8116 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
8117 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
8118 EVP_cleanup().
8119 [Richard Levitte]
8120
8121 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
8122 being properly terminated.
8123 [Richard Levitte]
8124
8125 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
8126 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
8127 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
8128 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
8129
8130 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
8131 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
8132 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
8133 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
8134 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
8135 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
8136 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
8137 change.
8138 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
8139
8140 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
8141 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
8142 [Bodo Moeller]
8143
8144 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
8145 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
8146 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
8147 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
8148 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
8149 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
8150 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
8151 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
8152
8153 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
8154 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
8155 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
8156 (see [openssl.org #212]).
8157 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8158
8159 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
8160 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
8161 [Steve Henson]
8162
8163 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
8164
8165 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
8166 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
8167 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
8168
8169 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
8170
8171 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
8172 and get fix the header length calculation.
8173 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
8174 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
8175 Steve Henson]
8176
8177 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
8178 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
8179 assertions could call abort()).
8180 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
8181
8182 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
8183
8184 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8185 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8186 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8187 supplied buffer.
8188 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8189
8190 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
8191 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
8192 by the selection routines (PR #130).
8193 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8194
8195 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
8196 [Nils Larsch]
8197
8198 *) New option
8199 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
8200 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
8201 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
8202
8203 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
8204 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
8205 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
8206 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
8207 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
8208 applications.
8209 [Bodo Moeller]
8210
8211 *) Changes in security patch:
8212
8213 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
8214 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
8215 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
8216 F30602-01-2-0537.
8217
8218 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8219 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8220 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8221 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
8222 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8223
8224 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
8225 happen in practice.
8226 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8227
8228 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
8229 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
8230 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
8231
8232 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
8233 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
8234 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8235
8236 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
8237 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
8238 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8239
8240 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
8241
8242 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
8243 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
8244 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
8245
8246 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
8247 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
8248
8249 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
8250 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
8251 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
8252 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
8253 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
8254 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
8255 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8256
8257 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
8258 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
8259 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
8260 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
8261 [Bodo Moeller]
8262
8263 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
8264 [Bodo Moeller]
8265
8266 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
8267 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
8268 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
8269 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
8270 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
8271 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8272
8273 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
8274 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
8275 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
8276 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
8277 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
8278 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8279
8280 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
8281 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
8282 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
8283 BN_generate_prime().)
8284
8285 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
8286 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
8287 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
8288 better.
8289 [Bodo Moeller]
8290
8291 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
8292 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
8293 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8294
8295 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
8296 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
8297 when using non-blocking I/O.
8298 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
8299
8300 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
8301 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
8302
8303 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
8304 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
8305 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8306
8307 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
8308 configuration for the versions before that.
8309 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
8310
8311 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
8312 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
8313 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
8314 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
8315 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8316
8317 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
8318 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
8319 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
8320 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8321
8322 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
8323 value is 0.
8324 [Richard Levitte]
8325
8326 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
8327 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
8328 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
8329
8330 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
8331 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
8332
8333 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
8334 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
8335 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
8336 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
8337 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
8338 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
8339 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
8340 session cache.
8341
8342 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
8343 using a local variable.
8344 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
8345
8346 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
8347 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
8348 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8349
8350 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
8351 [Richard Levitte]
8352
8353 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
8354 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
8355
8356 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
8357 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
8358 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
8359
8360 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
8361
8362 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
8363 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
8364 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
8365 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
8366 [Bodo Moeller]
8367
8368 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
8369 present.
8370 [Steve Henson]
8371
8372 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
8373 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
8374 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
8375 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
8376 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
8377
8378 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
8379 returns early because it has nothing to do.
8380 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8381
8382 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8383 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
8384 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8385
8386 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8387 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
8388 (Use engine 'keyclient')
8389 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
8390
8391 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
8392 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
8393 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
8394 modules).
8395 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
8396
8397 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8398 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
8399 from 0.9.7.
8400 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
8401
8402 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8403 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
8404 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
8405 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
8406
8407 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8408 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
8409 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
8410 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
8411
8412 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
8413 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
8414
8415 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
8416 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
8417 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
8418 [Bodo Moeller]
8419
8420 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
8421 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
8422 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
8423 become invalid.
8424 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
8425
8426 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
8427 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
8428 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
8429 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
8430 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
8431 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
8432 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
8433 [Bodo Moeller]
8434
8435 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
8436 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
8437 one of the SSL handshake functions.
8438 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
8439
8440 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
8441 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
8442 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
8443 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
8444 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
8445 the client will at least see that alert.
8446 [Bodo Moeller]
8447
8448 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
8449 correctly.
8450 [Bodo Moeller]
8451
8452 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
8453 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
8454 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8455
8456 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
8457 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
8458 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
8459 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
8460 HelloRequest.
8461
8462 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
8463 before just sending a HelloRequest.
8464 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
8465
8466 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
8467 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
8468 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
8469 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
8470 may leak via logfiles.)
8471
8472 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
8473 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
8474 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
8475 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
8476 the legal range.
8477 [Bodo Moeller]
8478
8479 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
8480 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
8481 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8482
8483 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
8484 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
8485 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
8486 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
8487 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
8488 [Bodo Moeller]
8489
8490 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
8491 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
8492
8493 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
8494 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
8495 followed by modular reduction.
8496 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
8497
8498 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
8499 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
8500 [Bodo Moeller]
8501
8502 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
8503 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
8504 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
8505 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
8506 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8507
8508 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
8509 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8510
8511 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
8512 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
8513 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8514
8515 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
8516 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
8517 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
8518 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
8519 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
8520 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
8521 automatically.
8522 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
8523
8524 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
8525 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
8526 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
8527 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
8528 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
8529
8530 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
8531 [Andy Polyakov]
8532
8533 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
8534 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
8535 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
8536 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
8537 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
8538 to allow the necessary settings.
8539 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8540
8541 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
8542 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
8543 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
8544 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
8545 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8546
8547 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
8548 dh->length and always used
8549
8550 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
8551
8552 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
8553 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
8554 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
8555 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
8556 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
8557 dh->length.
8558
8559 So switch back to
8560
8561 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
8562
8563 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
8564 otherwise.
8565 [Bodo Moeller]
8566
8567 *) In
8568
8569 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
8570 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
8571 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
8572 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
8573
8574 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
8575 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
8576 always reject numbers >= n.
8577 [Bodo Moeller]
8578
8579 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
8580 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
8581 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
8582 variable) is not atomic.
8583 [Bodo Moeller]
8584
8585 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
8586 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
8587 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
8588 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
8589
8590 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
8591 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
8592
8593 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
8594 little-endian MIPS.
8595 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
8596
8597 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
8598 [Richard Levitte]
8599
8600 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
8601
8602 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
8603 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
8604 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
8605 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
8606 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
8607 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
8608 to traverse all of 'state'.
8609
8610 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
8611 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
8612 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
8613
8614 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
8615 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
8616
8617 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
8618 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
8619 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
8620 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
8621 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
8622 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
8623 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
8624 further strengthens the PRNG.
8625 [Bodo Moeller]
8626
8627 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
8628 [Andy Polyakov]
8629
8630 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
8631 an error message in this case.
8632 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8633
8634 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
8635 [Steve Henson]
8636
8637 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
8638 positive and less than q.
8639 [Bodo Moeller]
8640
8641 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
8642 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
8643 that itself.
8644 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
8645
8646 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
8647 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
8648 [Bodo Moeller]
8649
8650 *) Fix OAEP check.
8651 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8652
8653 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
8654 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
8655 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
8656 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
8657 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
8658 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
8659 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
8660 paper.)
8661
8662 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
8663 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
8664 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
8665 detect the supposedly ignored error.
8666
8667 Both problems are now fixed.
8668 [Bodo Moeller]
8669
8670 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
8671 (previously it was 1024).
8672 [Bodo Moeller]
8673
8674 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
8675 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
8676 [Steve Henson]
8677
8678 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
8679 [Steve Henson]
8680
8681 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
8682 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
8683 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
8684 [Steve Henson]
8685
8686 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
8687 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
8688 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
8689 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
8690 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
8691 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
8692 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
8693 environment variables.
8694
8695 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
8696 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
8697 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
8698 [Bodo Moeller]
8699
8700 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
8701 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
8702 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
8703 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
8704 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
8705 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
8706 [Bodo Moeller]
8707
8708 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
8709 versions of 'test'.
8710 [Bodo Moeller]
8711
8712 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
8713
8714 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
8715 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
8716
8717 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
8718 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
8719 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
8720 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
8721 CygWin.
8722 [Richard Levitte]
8723
8724 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
8725 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
8726 amount of data available.
8727 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
8728 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8729
8730 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
8731 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
8732 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
8733 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
8734 [Bodo Moeller]
8735
8736 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
8737 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
8738 and UnixWare.
8739 [Richard Levitte]
8740
8741 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
8742 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
8743 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
8744 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
8745 [Ulf Moeller]
8746
8747 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
8748 [Andy Polyakov]
8749
8750 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
8751 [Richard Levitte]
8752
8753 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
8754 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
8755 [Steve Henson]
8756 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8757
8758 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
8759 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
8760 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
8761 (but broken) behaviour.
8762 [Steve Henson]
8763
8764 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
8765 it when found.
8766 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
8767
8768 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
8769 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
8770 [Bodo Moeller]
8771
8772 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
8773 did not exist.
8774 [Bodo Moeller]
8775
8776 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
8777 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
8778
8779 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
8780 [Richard Levitte]
8781
8782 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
8783 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
8784 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
8785
8786 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
8787 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
8788 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
8789 [Steve Henson]
8790
8791 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
8792 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
8793 [Ulf Moeller]
8794
8795 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
8796 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
8797
8798 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
8799
8800 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
8801
8802 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
8803 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
8804 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
8805 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
8806 [Bodo Moeller]
8807
8808 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
8809 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8810
8811 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
8812 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
8813 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8814
8815 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
8816 was empty.
8817 [Steve Henson]
8818 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8819
8820 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
8821 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
8822 but the code is actually correct.
8823 [Steve Henson]
8824
8825 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
8826 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
8827 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
8828 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
8829 and leaves the highest bit random.
8830 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8831
8832 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
8833 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
8834 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
8835 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
8836 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
8837 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
8838 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
8839 [Bodo Moeller]
8840
8841 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
8842 [Ulf Moeller]
8843
8844 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
8845 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
8846 [Steve Henson]
8847
8848 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
8849 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
8850 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
8851 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
8852 headers.
8853 [Richard Levitte]
8854
8855 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
8856 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
8857 and break the signature.
8858 [Steve Henson]
8859 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8860
8861 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
8862 DH ciphersuites.
8863 [Steve Henson]
8864
8865 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
8866 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
8867 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
8868 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
8869 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
8870 [Bodo Moeller]
8871
8872 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
8873 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8874
8875 *) ./config script fixes.
8876 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
8877
8878 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
8879 [Bodo Moeller]
8880
8881 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
8882 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
8883 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
8884 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
8885 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
8886
8887 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
8888 call failed, free the DSA structure.
8889 [Bodo Moeller]
8890
8891 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
8892 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
8893 [Steve Henson]
8894
8895 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
8896 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
8897 when writing a 32767 byte record.
8898 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
8899
8900 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
8901 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
8902
8903 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
8904 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
8905 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
8906 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
8907 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
8908
8909 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
8910 [Bodo Moeller]
8911
8912 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
8913 [Ulf Möller]
8914
8915 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
8916 [Ulf Möller]
8917
8918 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
8919 [Bodo Moeller]
8920
8921 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
8922 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
8923 [Bodo Moeller]
8924
8925 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
8926 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
8927 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
8928 result of the server certificate verification.)
8929 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8930
8931 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
8932 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
8933 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
8934 [Bodo Moeller]
8935
8936 *) Fix SSL_peek:
8937 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
8938 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
8939 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
8940 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
8941 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
8942 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
8943 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
8944 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
8945 [Bodo Moeller]
8946
8947 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
8948 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
8949 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
8950 happening the other way round.
8951 [Geoff Thorpe]
8952
8953 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
8954 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
8955 [Bodo Moeller]
8956
8957 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
8958 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
8959 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
8960 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
8961 [Richard Levitte]
8962
8963 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
8964 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
8965
8966 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
8967
8968 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
8969 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
8970 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
8971 that.
8972
8973 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
8974
8975 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
8976
8977 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
8978 static ones.
8979 [Richard Levitte]
8980
8981 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
8982
8983 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
8984 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
8985 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
8986 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
8987 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
8988
8989 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
8990 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
8991 matter what.
8992 [Richard Levitte]
8993
8994 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
8995 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8996
8997 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
8998
8999 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
9000 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
9001 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
9002 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
9003 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
9004 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
9005 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
9006 by the Finished messages.
9007 [Bodo Moeller]
9008
9009 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
9010 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
9011
9012 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
9013 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
9014 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
9015 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
9016 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
9017 appropriately.
9018 [Steve Henson]
9019
9020 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
9021 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
9022 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
9023 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
9024 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
9025 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
9026 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
9027 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
9028 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
9029 together.
9030 [Steve Henson]
9031
9032 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
9033 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
9034 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
9035 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
9036
9037 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
9038 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
9039 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
9040 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
9041 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
9042 the answer.
9043
9044 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
9045 been tested well enough.
9046 [Richard Levitte]
9047
9048 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
9049 it can return incorrect results.
9050 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
9051 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
9052 [Bodo Moeller]
9053
9054 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
9055 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
9056 include zero length content when signing messages.
9057 [Steve Henson]
9058
9059 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
9060 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
9061 [Bodo Möller]
9062
9063 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
9064 [Richard Levitte]
9065
9066 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
9067 wrong sign.
9068 [Ulf Möller]
9069
9070 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
9071 packages. The default package contains applications, application
9072 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
9073 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
9074 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
9075 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
9076 [Richard Levitte]
9077
9078 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
9079 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9080
9081 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
9082 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
9083
9084 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
9085 random number < q in the DSA library.
9086 [Ulf Möller]
9087
9088 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
9089 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
9090 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
9091 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
9092 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
9093 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
9094 just makes things more complicated.)
9095 [Bodo Moeller]
9096
9097 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
9098 from EGD.
9099 [Ben Laurie]
9100
9101 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
9102 work better on such systems.
9103 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9104
9105 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
9106 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
9107 keyid to the certificates aux info.
9108 [Steve Henson]
9109
9110 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
9111 if there was more than one signature.
9112 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
9113
9114 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
9115 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
9116 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
9117 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
9118 [Richard Levitte]
9119
9120 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
9121 rather than always using the current time.
9122 [Steve Henson]
9123
9124 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
9125 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
9126 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
9127 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
9128 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
9129 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
9130
9131 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
9132 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
9133
9134 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
9135
9136 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
9137 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
9138 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
9139 the same hash value.
9140
9141 As a result various functions (which were all internal
9142 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
9143 structure. This will break anything that messed round
9144 with X509_STORE internally.
9145
9146 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
9147 exact match, rather than just subject name.
9148
9149 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
9150 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
9151 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
9152 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
9153 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
9154 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
9155 entirely (maybe later...).
9156
9157 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
9158
9159 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
9160 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
9161 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
9162 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
9163 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
9164 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
9165 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
9166 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
9167
9168 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
9169 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
9170
9171 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
9172 to customise the verify behaviour.
9173 [Steve Henson]
9174
9175 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
9176 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
9177 [Steve Henson]
9178
9179 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
9180 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
9181 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
9182 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
9183 request is improperly encoded.
9184 [Steve Henson]
9185
9186 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
9187 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
9188 BIO_write(b, ...).
9189
9190 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
9191 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
9192
9193 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
9194 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
9195 words set to zero.)
9196 [Bodo Moeller]
9197
9198 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
9199 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
9200 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
9201 [Bodo Moeller]
9202
9203 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
9204 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
9205 BIO/fp routines also added.
9206 [Steve Henson]
9207
9208 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
9209 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
9210
9211 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
9212 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
9213 demos/state_machine.
9214 [Ben Laurie]
9215
9216 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
9217 generation and verification.
9218 [Steve Henson]
9219
9220 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
9221 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
9222 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
9223 encode and decode it manually.
9224 [Steve Henson]
9225
9226 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
9227 compile under VC++.
9228 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
9229
9230 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
9231 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
9232 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
9233 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
9234
9235 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
9236 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
9237 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
9238 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
9239 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
9240 [Steve Henson]
9241
9242 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
9243 [Richard Levitte]
9244
9245 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
9246 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
9247 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
9248
9249 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
9250 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
9251 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
9252 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
9253 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
9254 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
9255 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
9256 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
9257
9258 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
9259 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
9260
9261 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
9262
9263 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
9264 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
9265 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
9266
9267 [Richard Levitte]
9268
9269 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
9270 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
9271 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
9272 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
9273 [Richard Levitte]
9274
9275 *) MD4 implemented.
9276 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
9277
9278 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
9279 [Richard Levitte]
9280
9281 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
9282 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
9283 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
9284 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
9285 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
9286 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
9287 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
9288 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
9289 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
9290 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
9291 short or long names are found.
9292 [Steve Henson]
9293
9294 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
9295 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
9296
9297 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
9298 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
9299 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
9300 version rollback attacks was not effective.
9301
9302 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
9303 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
9304 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
9305 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
9306 [Bodo Moeller]
9307
9308 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
9309 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
9310 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
9311 [Richard Levitte]
9312
9313 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
9314 these print out strings and name structures based on various
9315 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
9316 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
9317 to allow the various flags to be set.
9318 [Steve Henson]
9319
9320 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
9321 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
9322 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
9323 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
9324 dates to be checked.
9325 [Steve Henson]
9326
9327 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
9328 negative public key encodings) on by default,
9329 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
9330 [Steve Henson]
9331
9332 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
9333 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
9334 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
9335 [Steve Henson]
9336
9337 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
9338 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
9339 [Bodo Moeller]
9340
9341 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
9342 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
9343 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
9344 are always statically linked for now, but there are
9345 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
9346 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
9347 [Richard Levitte]
9348
9349 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
9350 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
9351 Random Numbers.
9352 [Ulf Möller]
9353
9354 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
9355 DSA key.
9356 [Steve Henson]
9357
9358 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
9359 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
9360 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
9361 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
9362 form signing output easier to verify.
9363 [Steve Henson]
9364
9365 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
9366 [Steve Henson]
9367
9368 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
9369 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
9370 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
9371 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
9372 are needed because all other string types have virtually
9373 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
9374 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
9375 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
9376 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
9377 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
9378 [Steve Henson]
9379
9380 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
9381
9382 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
9383 the syntax given in objects.README.
9384 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
9385 obj_mac.h.
9386 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
9387 obj_mac.h.
9388
9389 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
9390 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
9391 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
9392 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
9393 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
9394 consistent name changes.
9395 [Richard Levitte]
9396
9397 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
9398 [Bodo Moeller]
9399
9400 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
9401 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
9402 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
9403 environment variable, or the default random state file.
9404 [Richard Levitte]
9405
9406 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
9407 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
9408 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
9409 of safestack.h .
9410 [Steve Henson]
9411
9412 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
9413 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
9414 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
9415 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
9416 [Steve Henson]
9417
9418 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
9419 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
9420 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
9421 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
9422 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
9423 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
9424 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
9425 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
9426 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
9427 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
9428 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
9429 [Steve Henson]
9430
9431 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
9432 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
9433 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
9434 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
9435 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
9436 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
9437 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
9438 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
9439 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
9440 algorithm to openssl-dev.
9441 [Steve Henson]
9442
9443 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
9444 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
9445 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
9446 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
9447
9448 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
9449 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
9450 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
9451 omit any duplicate addresses.
9452 [Steve Henson]
9453
9454 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
9455 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
9456 [Bodo Moeller]
9457
9458 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
9459 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
9460 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
9461 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
9462 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
9463 [Bodo Moeller]
9464
9465 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
9466 software:
9467 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
9468 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
9469 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
9470 Free => OPENSSL_free
9471 [Richard Levitte]
9472
9473 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
9474 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
9475 [Bodo Moeller]
9476
9477 *) CygWin32 support.
9478 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
9479
9480 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
9481 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
9482 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
9483 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
9484 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
9485 approach.
9486 [Geoff Thorpe]
9487
9488 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
9489 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
9490 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
9491 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
9492 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
9493 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
9494 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
9495 [Geoff Thorpe]
9496
9497 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
9498 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
9499 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
9500 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
9501 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
9502 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
9503 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
9504 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
9505 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
9506 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
9507 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
9508 [Bodo Moeller]
9509
9510 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
9511 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
9512 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
9513 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
9514 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
9515
9516 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
9517 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
9518 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
9519 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
9520 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
9521
9522 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
9523 ciphers.
9524
9525 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
9526 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
9527 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
9528 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
9529
9530 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
9531
9532 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
9533 of macros.
9534
9535 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
9536 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
9537 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
9538 flags.
9539
9540 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
9541 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
9542 any installed hardware versions can.
9543 [Steve Henson]
9544
9545 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
9546 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
9547 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
9548 number.
9549 [Bodo Moeller]
9550
9551 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
9552 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
9553 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
9554 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
9555 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
9556
9557 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
9558 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
9559 [Steve Henson]
9560
9561 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
9562 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
9563 [Richard Levitte]
9564
9565 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
9566 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
9567 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
9568 features.
9569 [Steve Henson]
9570
9571 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
9572 [Ulf Möller]
9573
9574 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
9575 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
9576 but no ssl client purpose.
9577 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
9578
9579 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
9580 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
9581 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
9582 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
9583 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
9584 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
9585 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
9586 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
9587 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
9588 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
9589 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
9590 [Steve Henson]
9591
9592 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
9593 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
9594 be obtained from the error queue.
9595 [Bodo Moeller]
9596
9597 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
9598 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
9599 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
9600 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
9601 [Bodo Moeller]
9602
9603 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
9604 [Ulf Möller]
9605
9606 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
9607 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
9608 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
9609 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
9610 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
9611 [Geoff Thorpe]
9612
9613 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
9614 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
9615 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
9616 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
9617 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
9618 [Geoff Thorpe]
9619
9620 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
9621 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
9622 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
9623 may not be NULL.
9624 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
9625
9626 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
9627 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
9628 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
9629 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
9630 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
9631 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
9632 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
9633 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
9634 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
9635 or "the configuration storage API"...
9636
9637 The new configuration file reading functions are:
9638
9639 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
9640 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
9641
9642 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
9643
9644 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
9645
9646 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
9647 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
9648 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
9649 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
9650 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
9651 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
9652 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
9653
9654 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
9655 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
9656 [Richard Levitte]
9657
9658 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
9659 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
9660 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
9661 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
9662 [Bodo Moeller]
9663
9664 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
9665 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
9666 them in a portable way.
9667 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
9668
9669 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
9670
9671 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
9672
9673 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
9674 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
9675
9676 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
9677 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
9678 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
9679 <attili@amaxo.com>]
9680
9681 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
9682 was larger than the MD block size.
9683 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
9684
9685 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
9686 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
9687 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
9688 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
9689 components.
9690 [Steve Henson]
9691
9692 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
9693 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
9694 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
9695
9696 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
9697 discouraged.
9698 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
9699
9700 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
9701 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
9702 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
9703 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
9704 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
9705 Additional arguments are always ignored.
9706
9707 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
9708 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
9709
9710 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
9711 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
9712 [Bodo Moeller]
9713
9714 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
9715 [Bodo Moeller]
9716
9717 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
9718 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
9719 its own key.
9720 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
9721 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
9722 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
9723 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
9724 [Bodo Moeller]
9725
9726 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
9727 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
9728 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
9729 does not suppress any output.
9730 [Richard Levitte]
9731
9732 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
9733 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
9734 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
9735 with all the associated security issues.
9736
9737 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
9738 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
9739 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
9740 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
9741 use the value in the default purpose.
9742 [Steve Henson]
9743
9744 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
9745 and fix a memory leak.
9746 [Steve Henson]
9747
9748 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
9749 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
9750 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
9751 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
9752 [Bodo Moeller]
9753
9754 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
9755 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
9756 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
9757 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
9758 [Bodo Moeller]
9759
9760 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
9761 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
9762 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
9763 [Bodo Moeller]
9764
9765 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
9766 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
9767 [Bodo Moeller]
9768
9769 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
9770 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
9771 which was free.
9772 [Steve Henson]
9773
9774 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
9775 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
9776 [Bodo Moeller]
9777
9778 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
9779 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
9780 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
9781 [Bodo Moeller]
9782
9783 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
9784 number generation fails.
9785 [Bodo Moeller]
9786
9787 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
9788 [Bodo Moeller]
9789
9790 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
9791 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
9792
9793 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
9794 [Ulf Möller]
9795
9796 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
9797 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
9798
9799 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
9800 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
9801
9802 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
9803
9804 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
9805 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
9806 [Steve Henson]
9807
9808 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
9809 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
9810
9811 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
9812 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
9813 [Ulf Möller]
9814
9815 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
9816 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
9817 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
9818 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
9819 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
9820 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
9821
9822 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
9823 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
9824 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
9825 for example.
9826 [Steve Henson]
9827
9828 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
9829 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
9830 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
9831 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
9832 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
9833 counter, some don't.)
9834 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
9835 counters or duplicate objects.
9836 [Steve Henson]
9837
9838 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
9839 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
9840 [Steve Henson]
9841
9842 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
9843 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
9844 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
9845
9846 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
9847 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
9848 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
9849 or -rand.
9850 [Ulf Möller]
9851
9852 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
9853 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
9854 [Steve Henson]
9855
9856 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
9857 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
9858 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
9859 cipher list.
9860 [Steve Henson]
9861
9862 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
9863 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
9864 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
9865 [Steve Henson]
9866
9867 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
9868 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
9869 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
9870 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
9871 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
9872 should work without changes.
9873 [Richard Levitte]
9874
9875 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
9876 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
9877 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
9878 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
9879 must be defined. E.g.,
9880 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
9881 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
9882 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
9883 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
9884
9885 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
9886 record layer.
9887 [Bodo Moeller]
9888
9889 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
9890 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
9891 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
9892 [Steve Henson]
9893
9894 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
9895 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
9896 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
9897 request header lines. Some software needs this.
9898 [Steve Henson]
9899
9900 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
9901 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
9902 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
9903 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
9904 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
9905 is prompted for as usual.
9906 [Steve Henson]
9907
9908 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
9909 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
9910 autodetect the card and use it if present.
9911 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
9912
9913 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
9914 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
9915 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
9916 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
9917 [Steve Henson]
9918
9919 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
9920 [Andy Polyakov]
9921
9922 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
9923 of seed file.
9924 [Steve Henson]
9925
9926 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
9927 [Bodo Moeller]
9928
9929 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
9930 [Steve Henson]
9931
9932 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
9933 bits.
9934 [Ulf Möller]
9935
9936 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
9937 [Ulf Möller]
9938
9939 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
9940 [Andy Polyakov]
9941
9942 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
9943 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
9944 [Ulf Möller]
9945
9946 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
9947 options to produce them.
9948 [Steve Henson]
9949
9950 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
9951 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
9952 [Ulf Möller]
9953
9954 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
9955 for p == 0.
9956 [Ulf Möller]
9957
9958 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
9959 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
9960 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
9961 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
9962 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
9963 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
9964 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
9965 [Steve Henson]
9966
9967 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
9968 [Steve Henson]
9969
9970 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
9971 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
9972 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
9973 [Bodo Moeller]
9974
9975 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
9976 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
9977
9978 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
9979 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
9980 [Ulf Möller]
9981
9982 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
9983 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
9984 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
9985 has already seen).
9986 [Bodo Moeller]
9987
9988 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
9989 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
9990
9991 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
9992 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
9993 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
9994 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
9995 generation becomes much faster.
9996
9997 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
9998 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
9999 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
10000 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
10001 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
10002 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
10003 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
10004 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
10005 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
10006 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
10007 [Bodo Moeller]
10008
10009 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
10010 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
10011 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
10012 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
10013 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
10014 trial division stage.
10015 [Bodo Moeller]
10016
10017 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
10018 as ASN1_TIME.
10019 [Steve Henson]
10020
10021 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
10022 [Steve Henson]
10023
10024 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
10025 [Ulf Möller]
10026
10027 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
10028 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
10029 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
10030 the comments.
10031 [Ulf Möller]
10032
10033 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
10034 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
10035 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
10036 [Bodo Moeller]
10037
10038 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
10039 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
10040 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
10041 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
10042
10043 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
10044 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
10045 [Steve Henson]
10046
10047 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
10048 [Ulf Möller]
10049
10050 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
10051 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
10052 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
10053 Rabin-Miller iterations.
10054 [Ulf Möller]
10055
10056 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
10057 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
10058 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
10059 [Ulf Möller]
10060
10061 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
10062 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
10063 (instead of parameters) in future.
10064 [Steve Henson]
10065
10066 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
10067 when a new cipher list is set.
10068 [Steve Henson]
10069
10070 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
10071 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
10072 wrong.
10073
10074 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
10075 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
10076 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
10077
10078 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
10079 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
10080 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
10081 an error is flagged.
10082
10083 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
10084 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
10085 the readability was also increased :-)
10086 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10087
10088 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
10089 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
10090 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
10091 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
10092 as the root CA.
10093 [Steve Henson]
10094
10095 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
10096 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
10097 [Steve Henson]
10098
10099 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
10100 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
10101 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
10102 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
10103 instead.
10104
10105 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
10106 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
10107 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
10108 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
10109 because they handle more complex structures.)
10110 [Steve Henson]
10111
10112 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
10113 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
10114 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
10115 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10116
10117 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
10118 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
10119 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
10120 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
10121 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
10122 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
10123 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
10124 [Ulf Möller]
10125
10126 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
10127 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
10128 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
10129 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
10130 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
10131 [Bodo Moeller]
10132
10133 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
10134 [Bodo Moeller]
10135
10136 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
10137 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
10138 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
10139 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
10140 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
10141 to use this.
10142
10143 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
10144 code.
10145 [Steve Henson]
10146
10147 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
10148 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
10149 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
10150 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
10151 [Steve Henson]
10152
10153 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
10154 [Ulf Möller]
10155
10156 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
10157 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
10158 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
10159 international characters are used.
10160
10161 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
10162 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
10163 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
10164 in ASN1 order.
10165 [Steve Henson]
10166
10167 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
10168 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
10169 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
10170 request.
10171
10172 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
10173 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
10174 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
10175 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
10176 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
10177 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
10178
10179 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
10180 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
10181 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
10182 be handled by the string table functions.
10183
10184 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
10185 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
10186 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
10187 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
10188 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
10189 types at all.
10190 [Steve Henson]
10191
10192 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
10193 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
10194 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
10195 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
10196 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
10197
10198 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
10199 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
10200 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
10201 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
10202 [Bodo Moeller]
10203
10204 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
10205 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
10206 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
10207 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
10208 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
10209 SHA1.
10210 [Andy Polyakov]
10211
10212 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
10213 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
10214 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
10215 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
10216 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
10217 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
10218 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
10219 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
10220
10221 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
10222 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
10223 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
10224 [Steve Henson]
10225
10226 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
10227 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
10228 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
10229 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
10230 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
10231 support to pkcs8 application.
10232 [Steve Henson]
10233
10234 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
10235 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
10236 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
10237 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
10238 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
10239 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
10240 [Bodo Moeller]
10241
10242 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
10243 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
10244 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
10245 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
10246 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
10247 consistency.
10248 [Bodo Moeller]
10249
10250 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
10251 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
10252 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
10253 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
10254 example.
10255 [Steve Henson]
10256
10257 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
10258 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
10259 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
10260 and any application specific purposes.
10261
10262 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
10263 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
10264 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
10265 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
10266 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
10267 if the certificate is self signed.
10268 [Steve Henson]
10269
10270 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
10271 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
10272 [Steve Henson]
10273
10274 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
10275 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
10276 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
10277 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
10278 [Steve Henson]
10279
10280 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
10281 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
10282 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
10283 Update documentation.
10284 [Steve Henson]
10285
10286 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
10287 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
10288 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
10289 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
10290 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
10291 [Steve Henson]
10292
10293 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
10294 for details.
10295 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
10296
10297 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
10298 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
10299 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
10300 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
10301 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
10302 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
10303 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
10304 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
10305 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
10306 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
10307
10308 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
10309
10310 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10311 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10312 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
10313 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
10314 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
10315
10316 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
10317 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
10318 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
10319 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
10320 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
10321 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
10322 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
10323 request additional information:
10324 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
10325 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
10326
10327 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
10328 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
10329 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
10330 options.
10331
10332 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
10333 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
10334
10335 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
10336 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
10337 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
10338
10339 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
10340 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
10341
10342 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
10343 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
10344 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
10345 algorithm.
10346 [Steve Henson]
10347
10348 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
10349 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
10350 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
10351
10352 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
10353 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
10354 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
10355 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
10356 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
10357 included in OpenSSL.
10358 [Steve Henson]
10359
10360 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
10361 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
10362 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
10363 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
10364 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
10365 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
10366 [Bodo Moeller]
10367
10368 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
10369 PKCS12 structure.
10370 [Steve Henson]
10371
10372 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
10373 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
10374 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
10375 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
10376 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
10377 structure.
10378 [Steve Henson]
10379
10380 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
10381 need initialising.
10382 [Steve Henson]
10383
10384 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
10385 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
10386 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
10387 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
10388 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
10389 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
10390 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
10391 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
10392 be maintained manually.
10393
10394 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
10395 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
10396 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
10397 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
10398 work because people forget to call this function]
10399 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
10400 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
10401 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
10402 [Steve Henson]
10403
10404 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
10405 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
10406 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
10407 should be discouraged from doing it.
10408 [Ben Laurie]
10409
10410 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
10411 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
10412 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
10413 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
10414 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
10415 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
10416 [Steve Henson]
10417
10418 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
10419 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
10420 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
10421
10422 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
10423 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
10424 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
10425
10426 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
10427 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
10428 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
10429 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
10430 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
10431 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
10432
10433 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
10434 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
10435 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
10436
10437 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
10438 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
10439 and vice versa.
10440
10441 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
10442 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
10443 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
10444 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
10445 [Steve Henson]
10446
10447 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
10448 [Steve Henson]
10449
10450 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
10451 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
10452 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
10453 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
10454 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
10455 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
10456 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
10457 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
10458 keys so we should be OK.
10459
10460 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
10461 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
10462 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
10463 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
10464 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
10465 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
10466 stay in the name of compatibility.
10467
10468 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
10469 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
10470 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
10471
10472 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
10473 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
10474 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
10475 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
10476 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
10477 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
10478 supplied key).
10479 [Steve Henson]
10480
10481 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
10482 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
10483 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
10484 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
10485 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
10486 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
10487 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
10488 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
10489 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
10490 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
10491 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
10492 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
10493 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
10494 [Steve Henson]
10495
10496 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
10497 [Steve Henson]
10498
10499 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
10500 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
10501 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
10502 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
10503 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
10504 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
10505 single self signed certificate. This means that:
10506 openssl verify ss.pem
10507 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
10508 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
10509 is OK.
10510 [Steve Henson]
10511
10512 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
10513 (and add it to external session representation).
10514 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
10515 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
10516 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
10517 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
10518 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
10519 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
10520 security holes.
10521 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
10522
10523 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
10524 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
10525 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
10526 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
10527
10528 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
10529 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
10530 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
10531 [Steve Henson]
10532
10533 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
10534 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
10535 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
10536 code.
10537 [Steve Henson]
10538
10539 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
10540 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
10541 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
10542
10543 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
10544 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
10545 certificate auxiliary information.
10546 [Steve Henson]
10547
10548 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
10549 the 'enc' command.
10550 [Steve Henson]
10551
10552 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
10553 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
10554 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
10555 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
10556 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
10557 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
10558 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
10559 [Richard Levitte]
10560
10561 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
10562 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
10563 [Steve Henson]
10564
10565 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
10566 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
10567 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
10568 manpages and fix a few bugs.
10569 [Steve Henson]
10570
10571 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
10572 [Steve Henson]
10573
10574 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
10575 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
10576 [Steve Henson]
10577
10578 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
10579 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
10580 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
10581 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
10582 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
10583 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
10584 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
10585 using the new 'x509' options.
10586
10587 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
10588 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
10589 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
10590 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
10591 for all purposes.
10592 [Steve Henson]
10593
10594 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
10595 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
10596 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
10597 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
10598 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
10599 [Mark Cox]
10600
10601 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
10602 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
10603 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
10604 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
10605 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
10606 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
10607 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
10608 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
10609 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
10610 the key length and effective key length are equal.
10611 [Steve Henson]
10612
10613 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
10614 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
10615 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
10616 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
10617 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
10618 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
10619 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
10620 [Steve Henson]
10621
10622 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
10623 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
10624 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
10625 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
10626 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
10627 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
10628 openssl.cnf for more info.
10629 [Steve Henson]
10630
10631 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
10632 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
10633 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
10634 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
10635 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
10636 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
10637 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
10638 md should be large enough anyway.
10639 [Bodo Moeller]
10640
10641 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
10642 for handling the random seed file.
10643
10644 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
10645 ca,
10646 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
10647 s_client,
10648 s_server,
10649 x509 (when signing).
10650 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
10651 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
10652 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
10653
10654 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
10655 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
10656 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
10657 that support '-rand'.
10658 [Bodo Moeller]
10659
10660 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
10661 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
10662 [Bodo Moeller]
10663
10664 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
10665 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
10666 [Bill Perry]
10667
10668 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
10669 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
10670 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
10671 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
10672 is suitable.
10673 [Steve Henson]
10674
10675 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
10676 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
10677 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
10678 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
10679 [Steve Henson]
10680
10681 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
10682 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
10683 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
10684 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
10685 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
10686 print out all the purposes.
10687 [Steve Henson]
10688
10689 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
10690 functions.
10691 [Steve Henson]
10692
10693 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
10694 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
10695 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
10696 single function call.
10697 [Steve Henson]
10698
10699 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
10700 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
10701 [Andy Polyakov]
10702
10703 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
10704 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
10705 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
10706 [Steve Henson]
10707
10708 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
10709 when producing the local key id.
10710 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10711
10712 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
10713 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
10714 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
10715 "server.pem".
10716 [Steve Henson]
10717
10718 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
10719 a public key to be input or output. For example:
10720 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
10721 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
10722 [Steve Henson]
10723
10724 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
10725 in the message. This was handled by allowing
10726 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
10727 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
10728
10729 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
10730 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
10731 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
10732 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10733
10734 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
10735 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
10736 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
10737 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
10738 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
10739 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
10740 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
10741 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
10742 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
10743 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
10744 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
10745 trivial: move one line.
10746 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
10747
10748 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
10749 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
10750 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
10751 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
10752 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
10753 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
10754 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
10755 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
10756 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
10757 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
10758 with an event loop for example.
10759 [Steve Henson]
10760
10761 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
10762 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
10763 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
10764 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
10765 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
10766 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
10767 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
10768 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
10769 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
10770 [Steve Henson]
10771
10772 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
10773 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
10774 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
10775 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
10776 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
10777 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
10778 [Steve Henson]
10779
10780 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
10781 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
10782 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
10783 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
10784
10785 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
10786 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
10787 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
10788 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
10789 key generation.
10790 [Steve Henson]
10791
10792 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
10793 (still largely untested)
10794 [Bodo Moeller]
10795
10796 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
10797 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
10798 [Steve Henson]
10799
10800 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
10801 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
10802 [Steve Henson]
10803
10804 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
10805 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
10806 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
10807 [Bodo Moeller]
10808
10809 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
10810 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
10811 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
10812 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
10813 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
10814 [Steve Henson]
10815
10816 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
10817 [Andy Polyakov]
10818
10819 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
10820 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
10821 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
10822 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
10823 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
10824 in ca.
10825 [Steve Henson]
10826
10827 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
10828 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
10829 1.OU="Unit name 1"
10830 2.OU="Unit name 2"
10831 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
10832 [Steve Henson]
10833
10834 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
10835 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
10836 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
10837 are otherwise ignored at present.
10838 [Steve Henson]
10839
10840 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
10841 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
10842 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
10843 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
10844 copied until the next read.
10845 [Steve Henson]
10846
10847 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
10848 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
10849 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
10850 [Steve Henson]
10851
10852 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
10853 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
10854 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
10855 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
10856 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
10857 associated functions.
10858 [Steve Henson]
10859
10860 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
10861 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
10862 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
10863 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
10864 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
10865 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
10866 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
10867 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
10868 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
10869 memory BIOs.
10870 [Steve Henson]
10871
10872 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
10873 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
10874 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
10875 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
10876 [Bodo Moeller]
10877
10878 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
10879 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
10880 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
10881 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
10882 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
10883 functionality.
10884 [Steve Henson]
10885
10886 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
10887 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
10888 under Win32.
10889 [Steve Henson]
10890
10891 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
10892 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
10893 extensions to be obtained and added.
10894 [Steve Henson]
10895
10896 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
10897 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
10898 [Bodo Moeller]
10899
10900 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
10901
10902 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
10903 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10904
10905 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
10906 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
10907
10908 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
10909 program.
10910 [Steve Henson]
10911
10912 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
10913 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
10914 DH parameters contain its length).
10915
10916 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
10917 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
10918 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
10919 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
10920 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
10921 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
10922 utter importance to use
10923 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10924 or
10925 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10926 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
10927 attacks may become possible!
10928 [Bodo Moeller]
10929
10930 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
10931 [Bodo Moeller]
10932
10933 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
10934 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
10935 [Steve Henson]
10936
10937 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
10938 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
10939 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
10940 or long name.
10941 [Steve Henson]
10942
10943 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
10944 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
10945 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
10946 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
10947 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
10948 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
10949 private key operations.
10950 [Steve Henson]
10951
10952 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
10953 [Andy Polyakov]
10954
10955 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
10956 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
10957 to
10958 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
10959 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
10960 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
10961 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
10962 the password callback is called.
10963 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
10964
10965 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
10966
10967 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
10968 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
10969 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
10970 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
10971 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
10972 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
10973 this will work.
10974
10975 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
10976 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
10977 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
10978 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
10979 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
10980 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
10981 [Bodo Moeller]
10982
10983 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
10984 [Andy Polyakov]
10985
10986 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
10987 delete an unused file.
10988 [Ulf Möller]
10989
10990 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
10991 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
10992 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
10993 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
10994 [Steve Henson]
10995
10996 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
10997 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
10998 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
10999 of an error.
11000 [Bodo Moeller]
11001
11002 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
11003 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
11004 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
11005
11006 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
11007 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
11008 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
11009 comparison" warnings.
11010 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
11011 [Steve Henson]
11012
11013 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
11014 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
11015 derived keys are printed to stderr.
11016 [Steve Henson]
11017
11018 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
11019 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
11020
11021 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
11022 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
11023
11024 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
11025 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
11026 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
11027
11028 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
11029 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
11030 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
11031 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
11032 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
11033 this bug.
11034 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
11035
11036 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
11037 The interface is as follows:
11038 Applications can use
11039 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
11040 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
11041 "off" is now the default.
11042 The library internally uses
11043 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
11044 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
11045 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
11046
11047 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
11048 even the default) are now avoided.
11049
11050 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
11051 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
11052 than just having a counter.
11053
11054 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
11055
11056 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
11057 extensions.
11058 [Bodo Moeller]
11059
11060 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
11061 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
11062 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
11063 Initial "mode" flags are:
11064
11065 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
11066 a single record has been written.
11067 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
11068 retries use the same buffer location.
11069 (But all of the contents must be
11070 copied!)
11071 [Bodo Moeller]
11072
11073 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
11074 worked.
11075
11076 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
11077 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
11078
11079 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
11080 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
11081 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
11082 [Steve Henson]
11083
11084 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
11085 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
11086 test programs.
11087 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
11088
11089 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
11090 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
11091 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
11092 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
11093 point to the end.
11094 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
11095 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
11096
11097 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
11098 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
11099 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
11100 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
11101 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
11102 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
11103 [Steve Henson]
11104
11105 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
11106 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
11107 necessary function names.
11108 [Steve Henson]
11109
11110 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
11111 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
11112 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
11113 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
11114 [Bodo Moeller]
11115
11116 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
11117 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
11118 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
11119 [Steve Henson]
11120
11121 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
11122 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
11123 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
11124 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
11125 such programs?)
11126 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
11127 need locks.
11128 [Bodo Moeller]
11129
11130 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
11131 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
11132 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
11133 [Bodo Moeller]
11134
11135 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
11136 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
11137 appropriate.
11138 [Bodo Moeller]
11139
11140 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
11141 for the encoded length.
11142 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
11143
11144 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
11145 [Steve Henson]
11146
11147 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
11148 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
11149 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
11150 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
11151 [Steve Henson]
11152
11153 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
11154 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
11155 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11156
11157 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
11158 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
11159 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
11160 unusual formatting.
11161 [Steve Henson]
11162
11163 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
11164 to use the new extension code.
11165 [Steve Henson]
11166
11167 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
11168 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
11169 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
11170 constant.
11171 [Steve Henson]
11172
11173 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
11174 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
11175 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
11176 [Bodo Moeller]
11177
11178 #if 0
11179 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
11180 [Ben Laurie]
11181 #else
11182 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
11183 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
11184 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
11185 #endif
11186
11187 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
11188 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
11189 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
11190 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
11191 [Ben Laurie]
11192
11193 *) DES library cleanups.
11194 [Ulf Möller]
11195
11196 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
11197 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
11198 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
11199 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
11200 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
11201 of v2.0.
11202 [Steve Henson]
11203
11204 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
11205 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
11206 [Bodo Moeller]
11207
11208 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
11209 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
11210 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
11211 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
11212 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
11213 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
11214 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
11215 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
11216 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
11217 [Steve Henson]
11218
11219 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
11220 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
11221 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
11222 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
11223 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
11224 value doesn't matter.
11225 [Steve Henson]
11226
11227 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
11228 support mutable.
11229 [Ben Laurie]
11230
11231 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
11232 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
11233 "linux-sparc" configuration.
11234 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
11235
11236 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
11237 [Ulf Möller]
11238
11239 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
11240 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
11241 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11242
11243 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
11244 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11245
11246 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
11247 [Ben Laurie]
11248
11249 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
11250 [Ben Laurie]
11251
11252 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
11253 [Ben Laurie]
11254
11255 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
11256 [Bodo Moeller]
11257
11258
11259 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
11260
11261 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
11262
11263 *) Updated some demos.
11264 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
11265
11266 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
11267 [Wu Zhigang]
11268
11269 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
11270 [Steve Henson]
11271
11272 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
11273 [Steve Henson]
11274
11275 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
11276 instead of using a fixed path.
11277 [Bodo Moeller]
11278
11279 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
11280 [Andy Polyakov]
11281
11282 *) Improvements for VMS support.
11283 [Richard Levitte]
11284
11285
11286 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
11287
11288 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
11289 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
11290 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11291
11292 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
11293 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
11294 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
11295 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
11296 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
11297 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
11298 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
11299 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
11300 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
11301 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
11302 [Steve Henson]
11303
11304 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
11305 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
11306 [Steve Henson]
11307
11308 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
11309 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
11310 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
11311 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
11312 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
11313
11314 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
11315 [Bodo Moeller]
11316
11317 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
11318 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
11319 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
11320 [Steve Henson]
11321
11322 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
11323 [Ben Laurie]
11324
11325 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
11326 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
11327 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
11328 key elements as negative integers.
11329 [Steve Henson]
11330
11331 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
11332 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11333
11334 *) VMS support.
11335 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
11336
11337 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
11338 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
11339 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
11340 [Steve Henson]
11341
11342 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
11343 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
11344 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
11345 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
11346 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
11347 [Bodo Moeller]
11348
11349 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
11350 [Ulf Möller]
11351
11352 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
11353 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
11354 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
11355 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11356
11357 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
11358 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
11359 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
11360
11361 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
11362 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
11363 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
11364 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
11365 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
11366 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
11367 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
11368 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
11369 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
11370
11371 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
11372 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
11373 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
11374 does not influence s as it used to.
11375
11376 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
11377 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
11378 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
11379 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
11380 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
11381 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
11382 [Bodo Moeller]
11383
11384 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
11385 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
11386 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
11387 key type.
11388 [Steve Henson]
11389
11390 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
11391 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
11392 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
11393 and 'x509').
11394 [Steve Henson]
11395
11396 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
11397 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
11398 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
11399 extension option.
11400 [Steve Henson]
11401
11402 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
11403 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
11404 [Ben Laurie]
11405
11406 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
11407 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11408
11409 *) Support Mingw32.
11410 [Ulf Möller]
11411
11412 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
11413 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11414
11415 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
11416 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11417
11418 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
11419 [Ulf Möller]
11420
11421 *) Update HPUX configuration.
11422 [Anonymous]
11423
11424 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
11425 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11426
11427 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
11428 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
11429 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
11430 DER-encoded.)
11431 [Bodo Moeller]
11432
11433 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
11434 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
11435 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
11436 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
11437 now it really counts the depth.
11438 [Bodo Moeller]
11439
11440 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
11441 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
11442 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
11443 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
11444 didn't match the private key).
11445
11446 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
11447 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
11448 connection using the SSL_CTX).
11449 [Bodo Moeller]
11450
11451 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
11452 [Ulf Möller]
11453
11454 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
11455 David Harris.
11456 [Bodo Moeller]
11457
11458 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
11459 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
11460 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
11461 [Bodo Moeller]
11462
11463 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
11464 [Bodo Moeller]
11465
11466 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
11467 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
11468 such as /usr/local/bin.
11469 [Bodo Moeller]
11470
11471 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
11472 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11473
11474 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
11475 [Ulf Möller]
11476
11477 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
11478 extension adding in x509 utility.
11479 [Steve Henson]
11480
11481 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
11482 [Ulf Möller]
11483
11484 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
11485 prototypes.
11486 [Steve Henson]
11487
11488 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
11489 [Ulf Möller]
11490
11491 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
11492 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
11493 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
11494 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
11495 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
11496 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
11497 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
11498 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
11499 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
11500 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
11501 [Steve Henson]
11502
11503 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
11504 [Bodo Moeller]
11505
11506 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
11507 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
11508 [Bodo Moeller]
11509
11510 *) Fix some race conditions.
11511 [Bodo Moeller]
11512
11513 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
11514 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
11515 [Steve Henson]
11516
11517 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
11518 [Ulf Möller]
11519
11520 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
11521 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
11522 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
11523 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
11524
11525 *) Fix lots of warnings.
11526 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11527
11528 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
11529 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
11530 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11531
11532 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
11533 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11534
11535 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
11536 [Ulf Möller]
11537
11538 *) Fix typos in error codes.
11539 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
11540
11541 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
11542 [Ulf Möller]
11543
11544 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
11545 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11546
11547 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
11548 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
11549 [Steve Henson]
11550
11551 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
11552 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
11553 [Ben Laurie]
11554
11555 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
11556 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
11557 [Steve Henson]
11558
11559 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
11560 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
11561 [Steve Henson]
11562
11563 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
11564 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
11565 [Steve Henson]
11566
11567 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
11568 support typesafe stack.
11569 [Steve Henson]
11570
11571 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
11572 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
11573
11574 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
11575 old X509V3 handling code.
11576 [Steve Henson]
11577
11578 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
11579 [Ulf Möller]
11580
11581 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
11582 [Bodo Moeller]
11583
11584 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
11585 [Ben Laurie]
11586
11587 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
11588 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
11589
11590 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
11591 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
11592 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
11593 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
11594 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
11595 [Ben Laurie]
11596
11597 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
11598 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
11599 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
11600 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
11601 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
11602
11603 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
11604 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
11605 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
11606 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11607
11608 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
11609 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
11610 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
11611 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11612
11613 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
11614 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
11615 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
11616 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
11617 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
11618 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
11619 [Bodo Moeller]
11620
11621 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
11622 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
11623 [Bodo Moeller]
11624
11625 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
11626 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
11627 [Ulf Möller]
11628
11629 *) Tweaks to Configure
11630 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11631
11632 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
11633 yet...
11634 [Steve Henson]
11635
11636 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
11637 [Ulf Möller]
11638
11639 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
11640 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
11641 [Ulf Möller]
11642
11643 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
11644 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
11645 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
11646 [Bodo Moeller]
11647
11648 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
11649 [Bodo Moeller]
11650
11651 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
11652 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
11653 [Steve Henson]
11654
11655 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
11656 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
11657 to library startup routines.
11658 [Steve Henson]
11659
11660 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
11661 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
11662 codes along the way.
11663 [Steve Henson]
11664
11665 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
11666 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
11667 objects to objects.h
11668 [Steve Henson]
11669
11670 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
11671 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
11672 [Steve Henson]
11673
11674 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
11675 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
11676
11677 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
11678 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
11679 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
11680
11681 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
11682 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11683 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11684
11685 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
11686 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
11687 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
11688
11689
11690 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
11691
11692 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
11693 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
11694 [Ben Laurie]
11695
11696 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
11697 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
11698 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
11699 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
11700 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
11701
11702 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
11703 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
11704 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
11705 document.
11706 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11707
11708 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
11709 Malloc, Free.
11710 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
11711
11712 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
11713 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11714
11715 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
11716 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
11717 if someone would make that last step automatic.
11718 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
11719
11720 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
11721 [Ben Laurie]
11722
11723 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
11724 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
11725 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
11726 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
11727 [Steve Henson]
11728
11729 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
11730 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
11731 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
11732 [Steve Henson]
11733
11734 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
11735 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
11736 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
11737 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
11738 installed as `perl').
11739 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11740
11741 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
11742 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11743
11744 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
11745 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
11746 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
11747 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
11748 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
11749 [Steve Henson]
11750
11751 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
11752 [Ben Laurie]
11753
11754 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
11755 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
11756 is horrible: I feel ill....
11757 [Steve Henson]
11758
11759 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
11760 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
11761 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
11762 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
11763 [Steve Henson]
11764
11765 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
11766 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11767
11768 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
11769 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
11770 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
11771 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11772
11773 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
11774 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
11775 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
11776 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
11777 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
11778 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
11779 openssl_bio.xs.
11780 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11781
11782 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
11783 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11784
11785 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
11786 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
11787
11788 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
11789 [Ben Laurie]
11790
11791 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
11792 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
11793 in CRLs.
11794 [Steve Henson]
11795
11796 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
11797 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
11798 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
11799 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
11800 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
11801 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
11802 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
11803 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
11804 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
11805 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
11806 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11807
11808 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
11809 [Ben Laurie]
11810
11811 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
11812 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
11813 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
11814 for linking it into DSOs.
11815 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11816
11817 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
11818 Fixed.
11819 [Ben Laurie]
11820
11821 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
11822 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
11823 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
11824 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
11825 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
11826 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11827
11828 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
11829 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
11830 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
11831 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
11832 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
11833 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
11834 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11835
11836 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
11837 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
11838 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
11839 encryption.
11840 [Ben Laurie]
11841
11842 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
11843 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
11844 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
11845 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
11846 [Steve Henson]
11847
11848 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
11849 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
11850 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
11851 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
11852 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
11853 field as blank.
11854 [Steve Henson]
11855
11856 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
11857 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
11858 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
11859 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
11860 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11861
11862 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
11863 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
11864 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11865
11866 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
11867 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11868
11869 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
11870 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
11871 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
11872 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
11873 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
11874 [Steve Henson]
11875
11876 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
11877 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
11878 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
11879 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
11880 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
11881 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
11882 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
11883 [Ben Laurie]
11884
11885 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
11886 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
11887 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
11888 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
11889 [Ben Laurie]
11890
11891 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
11892 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
11893
11894 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
11895 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
11896 [Steve Henson]
11897
11898 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
11899 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
11900 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
11901 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
11902 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
11903 (e.g. s_server).
11904 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
11905 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
11906 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
11907 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
11908 no way to reconfigure them.
11909 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
11910 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
11911 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
11912 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
11913 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
11914 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11915
11916 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
11917 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
11918 recognized by the users.
11919 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11920
11921 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
11922 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
11923 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
11924 already masked variable.
11925 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11926
11927 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
11928 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11929
11930 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
11931 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
11932 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
11933 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11934
11935 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
11936 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
11937 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11938
11939 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
11940 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
11941 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
11942 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
11943 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
11944 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
11945 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
11946 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
11947 now, too.
11948 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11949
11950 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
11951 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
11952 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11953
11954 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
11955 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
11956 config file.
11957 [Steve Henson]
11958
11959 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
11960 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11961
11962 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
11963 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
11964 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
11965 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
11966 [Ben Laurie]
11967
11968 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
11969 [Steve Henson]
11970
11971 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
11972 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11973
11974 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
11975 [Ben Laurie]
11976
11977 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
11978 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
11979 [Steve Henson]
11980
11981 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
11982 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
11983 [Steve Henson]
11984
11985 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
11986 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
11987 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
11988 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
11989 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
11990 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
11991 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
11992 Ben Laurie]
11993
11994 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
11995 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11996
11997 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
11998 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
11999 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
12000 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
12001 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12002
12003 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
12004 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
12005 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
12006 [Steve Henson]
12007
12008 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
12009 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
12010 an example.
12011 [Steve Henson]
12012
12013 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
12014 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
12015 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12016
12017 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
12018 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
12019 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
12020 build instructions.
12021 [Steve Henson]
12022
12023 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
12024 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
12025 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
12026 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
12027 [Steve Henson]
12028
12029 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
12030 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
12031 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
12032 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
12033 [Ben Laurie]
12034
12035 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
12036 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
12037 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
12038 so it wasn't spotted.
12039 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
12040
12041 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
12042 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
12043 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
12044 vectors if you have them.
12045 [Ben Laurie]
12046
12047 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
12048 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
12049 [Ben Laurie]
12050
12051 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
12052 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
12053 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
12054 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
12055 If you do a:
12056 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
12057 it will update them.
12058 [Steve Henson]
12059
12060 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
12061 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
12062 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
12063 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
12064 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
12065 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
12066 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
12067 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12068
12069 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
12070 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
12071 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
12072 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
12073 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
12074 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
12075 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
12076 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
12077 the crypto/md/ stuff).
12078 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12079
12080 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
12081 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
12082 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
12083 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
12084 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
12085 [Steve Henson]
12086
12087 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
12088 INTEGER code.
12089 [Steve Henson]
12090
12091 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
12092 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12093
12094 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
12095 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12096
12097 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
12098 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
12099 [Ben Laurie]
12100
12101 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
12102 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
12103
12104 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
12105 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
12106
12107 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
12108 [Steve Henson]
12109
12110 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
12111 few typos.
12112 [Steve Henson]
12113
12114 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
12115 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
12116 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
12117 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12118
12119 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12120 [Steve Henson]
12121
12122 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12123 [Steve Henson]
12124
12125 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
12126 [Steve Henson]
12127
12128 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
12129 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
12130 [Steve Henson]
12131
12132 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
12133 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
12134 CA extensions.
12135 [Steve Henson]
12136
12137 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
12138 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
12139 [Steve Henson]
12140
12141 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
12142 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
12143 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
12144 [Steve Henson]
12145
12146 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
12147 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
12148 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
12149 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
12150 properly to be processed.
12151 [Steve Henson]
12152
12153 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
12154 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
12155 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
12156 [Ben Laurie]
12157
12158 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
12159 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
12160
12161 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
12162 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
12163 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
12164 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
12165 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
12166 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
12167 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
12168 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
12169 or delete all the .err files.
12170 [Steve Henson]
12171
12172 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
12173 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
12174 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
12175 to regenerate it if needed.
12176 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
12177 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
12178
12179 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
12180 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12181
12182 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
12183 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
12184 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
12185 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
12186 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
12187 [Steve Henson]
12188
12189 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
12190 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12191
12192 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
12193 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12194
12195 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
12196 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
12197 error, but didn't set one).
12198 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12199
12200 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
12201 [Ben Laurie]
12202
12203 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
12204 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
12205 [Steve Henson]
12206
12207 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
12208 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
12209
12210 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
12211 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
12212 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
12213 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
12214 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
12215 OID is not part of the table.
12216 [Steve Henson]
12217
12218 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
12219 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
12220 [Ben Laurie]
12221
12222 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
12223 [Ben Laurie]
12224
12225 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
12226 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
12227 was "1234").
12228 [Steve Henson]
12229
12230 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
12231 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
12232
12233 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
12234 NULL pointers.
12235 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12236
12237 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
12238 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12239
12240 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
12241 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12242
12243 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
12244 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12245
12246 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
12247 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
12248 [Ben Laurie]
12249
12250 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
12251 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
12252 [Steve Henson]
12253
12254 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
12255 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12256
12257 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
12258 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12259
12260 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
12261 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12262
12263 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
12264 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12265
12266 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
12267 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
12268 unused in the certificate verification process.
12269 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12270
12271 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
12272 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
12273 [Steve Henson]
12274
12275 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
12276 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
12277 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
12278
12279 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
12280 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
12281 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
12282 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
12283 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
12284
12285 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
12286 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
12287 [Steve Henson]
12288
12289 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
12290 [Steve Henson]
12291
12292 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
12293 [Paul Sutton]
12294
12295 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
12296 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
12297
12298 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
12299 [Ben Laurie]
12300
12301 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
12302 [Ben Laurie]
12303
12304 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
12305 [Ben Laurie]
12306
12307 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
12308 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
12309 other error libraries.
12310 [Steve Henson]
12311
12312 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
12313 [Steve Henson]
12314
12315 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
12316 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
12317 be read in.
12318 [Steve Henson]
12319
12320 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
12321 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
12322 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
12323 the new set of documentation files.
12324 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12325
12326 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
12327 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
12328 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
12329 number of arguments.
12330 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
12331
12332 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
12333 [Ben Laurie]
12334
12335 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
12336 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
12337 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12338
12339 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
12340 [Ben Laurie]
12341
12342 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
12343 nextstep
12344 ncr-scde
12345 unixware-2.0
12346 unixware-2.0-pentium
12347 sco5-cc.
12348 [Ben Laurie]
12349
12350 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
12351 before they are needed.
12352 [Ben Laurie]
12353
12354 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
12355 [Ben Laurie]
12356
12357
12358 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
12359
12360 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
12361 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
12362 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12363
12364 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
12365 [Paul Sutton]
12366
12367 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
12368 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
12369 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12370
12371 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
12372 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
12373 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
12374
12375 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
12376 when "ssleay" is still not found.
12377 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12378
12379 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
12380 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
12381
12382 *) Updated the README file.
12383 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12384
12385 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
12386 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
12387 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12388
12389 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
12390 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
12391 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
