10 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
11
12 *) Add 'Maximum Fragment Length' TLS extension negotiation and support
13 as documented in RFC6066.
14 Based on a patch from Tomasz Moń
15 [Filipe Raimundo da Silva]
16
17 *) Add SM4 implemented according to GB/T 32907-2016.
18 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
19 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
20 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
21
22 *) Reimplement -newreq-nodes and ERR_error_string_n; the
23 original author does not agree with the license change.
24 [Rich Salz]
25
26 *) Add ARIA AEAD TLS support.
27 [Jon Spillett]
28
29 *) Some macro definitions to support VS6 have been removed. Visual
30 Studio 6 has not worked since 1.1.0
31 [Rich Salz]
32
33 *) Add ERR_clear_last_mark(), to allow callers to clear the last mark
34 without clearing the errors.
35 [Richard Levitte]
36
37 *) Add "atfork" functions. If building on a system that without
38 pthreads, see doc/man3/OPENSSL_fork_prepare.pod for application
39 requirements. The RAND facility now uses/requires this.
40 [Rich Salz]
41
42 *) Add SHA3.
43 [Andy Polyakov]
44
45 *) The UI API becomes a permanent and integral part of libcrypto, i.e.
46 not possible to disable entirely. However, it's still possible to
47 disable the console reading UI method, UI_OpenSSL() (use UI_null()
48 as a fallback).
49
50 To disable, configure with 'no-ui-console'. 'no-ui' is still
51 possible to use as an alias. Check at compile time with the
52 macro OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE. The macro OPENSSL_NO_UI is still
53 possible to check and is an alias for OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE.
54 [Richard Levitte]
55
56 *) Add a STORE module, which implements a uniform and URI based reader of
57 stores that can contain keys, certificates, CRLs and numerous other
58 objects. The main API is loosely based on a few stdio functions,
59 and includes OSSL_STORE_open, OSSL_STORE_load, OSSL_STORE_eof,
60 OSSL_STORE_error and OSSL_STORE_close.
61 The implementation uses backends called "loaders" to implement arbitrary
62 URI schemes. There is one built in "loader" for the 'file' scheme.
63 [Richard Levitte]
64
65 *) Add devcrypto engine. This has been implemented against cryptodev-linux,
66 then adjusted to work on FreeBSD 8.4 as well.
67 Enable by configuring with 'enable-devcryptoeng'. This is done by default
68 on BSD implementations, as cryptodev.h is assumed to exist on all of them.
69 [Richard Levitte]
70
71 *) Module names can prefixed with OSSL_ or OPENSSL_. This affects
72 util/mkerr.pl, which is adapted to allow those prefixes, leading to
73 error code calls like this:
74
75 OSSL_FOOerr(OSSL_FOO_F_SOMETHING, OSSL_FOO_R_WHATEVER);
76
77 With this change, we claim the namespaces OSSL and OPENSSL in a manner
78 that can be encoded in C. For the foreseeable future, this will only
79 affect new modules.
80 [Richard Levitte and Tim Hudson]
81
82 *) Removed BSD cryptodev engine.
83 [Rich Salz]
84
85 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
86 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
87 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
88 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
89 [Richard Levitte]
90
91 *) In the UI interface, make it possible to duplicate the user data. This
92 can be used by engines that need to retain the data for a longer time
93 than just the call where this user data is passed.
94 [Richard Levitte]
95
96 *) Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of applications
97 with OpenSSL 1.0.2.
98 [Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org>]
99
100 *) Fragmented SSL/TLS alerts are no longer accepted. An alert message is 2
101 bytes long. In theory it is permissible in SSLv3 - TLSv1.2 to fragment such
102 alerts across multiple records (some of which could be empty). In practice
103 it make no sense to send an empty alert record, or to fragment one. TLSv1.3
104 prohibts this altogether and other libraries (BoringSSL, NSS) do not
105 support this at all. Supporting it adds significant complexity to the
106 record layer, and its removal is unlikely to cause inter-operability
107 issues.
108 [Matt Caswell]
109
110 *) Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
111 with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
112 The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
113 in OpenSSL 1.2.0.
114 [Richard Levitte]
115
116 *) Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
117 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
118 [Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov]
119
120 *) Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
121 does for RSA, etc.
122 [Richard Levitte]
123
124 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
125 platform rather than 'mingw'.
126 [Richard Levitte]
127
128 *) The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
129 success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
130 in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
131 certificates and CRLs.
132 [Paul Dale]
133
134 *) x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
135 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
136 [Andy Polyakov]
137
138 *) Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
139 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
140 [Richard Levitte]
141
142 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
143 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
144 which is the minimum version we support.
145 [Richard Levitte]
146
147 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
148 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
149 are no longer allowed.
150 [Emilia Käsper]
151
152 *) Add support for ARIA
153 [Paul Dale]
154
155 *) s_client will now send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension by
156 default unless the new "-noservername" option is used. The server name is
157 based on the host provided to the "-connect" option unless overridden by
158 using "-servername".
159 [Matt Caswell]
160
161 *) Add support for SipHash
162 [Todd Short]
163
164 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
165 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
166 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
167 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
168 [Matt Caswell]
169
170 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
171 using the algorithm defined in
172 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
173 [Richard Levitte]
174
175 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
176 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
177
178 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
179 [Emilia Käsper]
180
181 *) The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid patent
182 issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.
183 [Rich Salz]
184
185
186 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
187
188 *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
189
190 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
191 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
192 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
193 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
194 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
195 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
196 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
197 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
198 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
199 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
200 key that is shared between multiple clients.
201
202 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
203 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
204
205 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
206 (CVE-2017-3736)
207 [Andy Polyakov]
208
209 *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
210
211 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
212 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
213 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
214
215 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
216 (CVE-2017-3735)
217 [Rich Salz]
218
219 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
220
221 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
222 platform rather than 'mingw'.
223 [Richard Levitte]
224
225 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
226 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
227 which is the minimum version we support.
228 [Richard Levitte]
229
230 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
231
232 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
233
234 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
235 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
236 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
237 and servers are affected.
238
239 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
240 (CVE-2017-3733)
241 [Matt Caswell]
242
243 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
244
245 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
246
247 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
248 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
249 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
250
251 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
252 (CVE-2017-3731)
253 [Andy Polyakov]
254
255 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
256
257 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
258 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
259 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
260 of Service attack.
261
262 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
263 (CVE-2017-3730)
264 [Matt Caswell]
265
266 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
267
268 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
269 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
270 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
271 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
272 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
273 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
274 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
275 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
276 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
277 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
278 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
279 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
280 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
281
282 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
283 (CVE-2017-3732)
284 [Andy Polyakov]
285
286 Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
287
288 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
289
290 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
291 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
292 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
293
294 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
295 (CVE-2016-7054)
296 [Richard Levitte]
297
298 *) CMS Null dereference
299
300 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
301 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
302 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
303 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
304 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
305 affected.
306
307 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
308 (CVE-2016-7053)
309 [Stephen Henson]
310
311 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
312
313 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
314 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
315 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
316 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
317 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
318 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
319 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
320 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
321 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
322 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
323 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
324 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
325 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
326 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
327
328 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
329 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
330 providing reproducible case.
331 (CVE-2016-7055)
332 [Andy Polyakov]
333
334 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
335 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
336 [Richard Levitte]
337
338 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
339
340 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
341
342 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
343 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
344 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
345 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
346 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
347 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
348
349 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
350
351 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
352 (CVE-2016-6309)
353 [Matt Caswell]
354
355 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
356
357 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
358
359 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
360 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
361 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
362 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
363 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
364 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
365 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
366
367 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
368 (CVE-2016-6304)
369 [Matt Caswell]
370
371 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
372
373 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
374 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
375 Denial Of Service attack.
376
377 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
378 (CVE-2016-6305)
379 [Matt Caswell]
380
381 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
382 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
383
384 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
385 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
386 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
387 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
388 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
389 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
390 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
391 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
392 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
393 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
394 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
395 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
396 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
397 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
398 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
399
400 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
401 that the connection fails
402 or
403 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
404 very little free memory
405 or
406 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
407 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
408 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
409 memory to service the multiple requests.
410
411 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
412 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
413 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
414 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
415 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.
416
417 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
418 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
419 [Matt Caswell]
420
421 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
422 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
423 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
424 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
425 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
426 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
427 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
428 [Andy Polyakov]
429
430 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
431
432 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
433 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
434 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
435 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
436 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
437 non-ASCII password.
438 [Andy Polyakov]
439
440 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
441 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
442 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
443 [Rich Salz]
444
445 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
446 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
447 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
448 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
449 [Matt Caswell]
450
451 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
452 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
453 success.
454 [Matt Caswell]
455
456 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
457 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
458 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
459 no-ops and deprecated.
460 [Matt Caswell]
461
462 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
463 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
464 were also closed.
465 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
466
467 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
468 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
469 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
470 [Rich Salz]
471
472 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
473 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
474 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
475 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
476 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
477 and the validity of object reference counter.
478 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
479
480 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
481 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
482 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
483 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
484 [Richard Levitte]
485
486 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
487 [Richard Levitte]
488
489 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
490 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
491 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
492 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
493
494 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
495
496 [Richard Levitte]
497
498 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
499 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
500 [Steve Henson]
501
502 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
503 [Andy Polyakov]
504
505 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
506 [Rich Salz]
507
508 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
509 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
510 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
511 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
512 name and is used as is.
513 [Richard Levitte]
514
515 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
516 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
517 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
518 [Rich Salz]
519
520 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
521 the "no-shared" Configure option.
522 [Matt Caswell]
523
524 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
525 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
526 algorithms.
527 [Matt Caswell]
528
529 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
530 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
531 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
532 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
533 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
534 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
535 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
536 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
537 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
538 [Matt Caswell]
539
540 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
541 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
542 enabled with '--debug' builds.
543 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
544
545 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
546 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
547 these have been added.
548 [Matt Caswell]
549
550 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
551 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
552 functions for managing these have been added.
553 [Richard Levitte]
554
555 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
556 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
557 these have been added.
558 [Matt Caswell]
559
560 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
561 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
562 have been added.
563 [Matt Caswell]
564
565 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
566 [Matt Caswell]
567
568 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
569 [Richard Levitte]
570
571 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
572 it is always safe to #include a header now.
573 [Rich Salz]
574
575 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
576 [Richard Levitte]
577
578 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
579 [Rich Salz]
580
581 *) Add support for HKDF.
582 [Alessandro Ghedini]
583
584 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
585 [Bill Cox]
586
587 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
588 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
589 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
590 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
591 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
592 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
593 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
594 [Matt Caswell]
595
596 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
597 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
598 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
599 [Catriona Lucey]
600
601 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
602 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
603 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
604 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
605 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
606 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
607 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
608
609 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
610 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
611 [Todd Short]
612
613 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
614 [Todd Short]
615
616 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
617 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
618 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
619 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
620 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
621 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
622 default cipherlist.
623 [Emilia Käsper]
624
625 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
626 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
627 [Rich Salz]
628
629 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
630 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
631 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
632 [Matt Caswell]
633
634 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
635 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
636 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
637 implemented by other servers.
638 [Emilia Käsper]
639
640 *) Add X25519 support.
641 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
642 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
643 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
644 key generation and key derivation.
645
646 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
647 X25519(29).
648 [Steve Henson]
649
650 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
651 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
652 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
653 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
654 seed, even if the seed is configured.
655
656 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
657 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
658 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
659 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
660 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
661 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
662 that of a valid user.
663 [Emilia Käsper]
664
665 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
666 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
667 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
668 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
669
670 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
671 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
672
673 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
674 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
675 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
676 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
677
678 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
679 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
680 irrelevant.
681 [Richard Levitte]
682
683 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
684 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
685 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
686 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
687 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
688 of how OpenSSL was configured.
689
690 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
691 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
692 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
693 [Richard Levitte]
694
695 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
696 [Rich Salz]
697
698 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
699 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
700 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
701 removed.
702 [Richard Levitte]
703
704 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
705 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
706 old #define's might need to be updated.
707 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
708
709 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
710 [Rich Salz]
711
712 *) New "unified" build system
713
714 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
715 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
716
717 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
718 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
719 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
720
721 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
722 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
723 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
724 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
725 descrip.mms.tmpl.
726
727 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
728 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
729 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
730 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
731 libraries" in INSTALL.
732
733 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
734 [Richard Levitte]
735
736 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
737 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
738 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
739 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
740 [Matt Caswell]
741
742 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
743 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
744
745 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
746 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
747 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
748 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
749 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
750 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
751 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
752 have been adapted accordingly.
753 [Richard Levitte]
754
755 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
756 the leading 0-byte.
757 [Emilia Käsper]
758
759 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
760 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
761 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
762 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
763 [Emilia Käsper]
764
765 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
766 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
767 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
768 'unsigned char*'.
769 [Emilia Käsper]
770
771 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
772 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
773 [Emilia Käsper]
774
775 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
776 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
777 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
778 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
779 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
780 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
781 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
782
783 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
784 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
785
786 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
787 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
788 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
789 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
790 Text::Template.
791
792 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
793 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
794 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
795 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
796 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
797 %target).
798 [Richard Levitte]
799
800 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
801 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
802 straightforward and less interdependent.
803
804 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
805 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
806 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
807
808 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
809 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
810 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
811 installed.
812 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
813 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
814 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
815 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
816
817 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
818 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
819 [Richard Levitte]
820
821 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
822 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
823 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
824 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
825 is present).
826 [Matt Caswell]
827
828 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
829 configuring.
830 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
831
832 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
833 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
834 before trying to build now.*
835 [Rich Salz]
836
837 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
838 has changed.
839 [Rich Salz]
840
841 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
842
843 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
844 the application's responsibility. The application provides
845 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
846 used to authenticate the peer.
847
848 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
849 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
850 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
851 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
852 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
853 [Viktor Dukhovni]
854
855 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
856 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
857 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
858 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
859 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
860 or the 1.1.0 releases.
861
862 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
863 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
864 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
865 support for the deprecated features from the library and
866 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
867 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
868 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
869 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
870 version.
871
872 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
873 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
874 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
875 compile with later releases.
876
877 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
878 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
879 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
880 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
881 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
882 [Viktor Dukhovni]
883
884 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
885 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
886 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
887 MaxProtcol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
888 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
889 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
890 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
891 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
892 [Kurt Roeckx]
893
894 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
895 [Andy Polyakov]
896
897 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
898 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
899 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
900 ECDSA_SIG format.
901
902 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
903 include the ec.h header file instead.
904 [Steve Henson]
905
906 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
907 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
908 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
909 [Kurt Roeckx]
910
911 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
912 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
913 were added:
914
915 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
916 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
917
918 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
919 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
920 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
921
922 Additional changes:
923 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
924 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
925 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
926 an already created structure.
927 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
928 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
929 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
930 for deprecated builds.
931 [Richard Levitte]
932
933 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
934 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
935 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
936 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
937 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
938 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
939 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
940 [Matt Caswell]
941
942 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
943 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
944 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
945 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
946 [Kurt Roeckx]
947
948 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
949 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
950 [Kurt Roeckx]
951
952 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
953 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
954 [Kurt Roeckx]
955
956 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
957 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
958 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
959 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
960 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
961 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
962 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
963 also been removed.
964 [Matt Caswell]
965
966 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
967 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
968 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
969 [Rich Salz]
970
971 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
972 [Rich Salz]
973
974 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
975 sureware and ubsec.
976 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
977
978 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
979
980 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
981 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
982
983 FOO *x;
984
985 it must be:
986
987 FOO x;
988
989 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
990 set a mandatory field to NULL.
991
992 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
993 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
994 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
995 SEQUENCE OF.
996 [Steve Henson]
997
998 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
999 [Emilia Käsper]
1000
1001 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
1002 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
1003 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
1004 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
1005 [Matt Caswell]
1006
1007 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1008 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
1009 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
1010 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
1011 [Emilia Käsper]
1012
1013 *) Fix no-stdio build.
1014 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
1015 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
1016
1017 *) New testing framework
1018 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
1019 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
1020 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
1021 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
1022 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
1023 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
1024
1025 For documentation on our testing modules, do:

1029
1030 [Richard Levitte]
1031
1032 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
1033 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
1034 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
1035 and others were changed. All are now documented.
1036 [Rich Salz]
1037
1038 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
1039 return an error
1040 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
1041
1042 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
1043 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
1044
1045 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
1046 original RSA_PSK patch.
1047 [Steve Henson]
1048
1049 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
1050 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
1051 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
1052 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
1053 [Matt Caswell]
1054
1055 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
1056 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
1057 [Richard Levitte]
1058
1059 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
1060 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
1061 hasn't been working properly for a while.
1062 [Emilia Käsper]
1063
1064 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
1065 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
1066 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
1067 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
1068 transferred.
1069 [Matt Caswell]
1070
1071 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
1072 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
1073 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
1074 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
1075 [Matt Caswell]
1076
1077 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
1078 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
1079 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
1080 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
1081 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
1082 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
1083 [Matt Caswell]
1084
1085 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
1086 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
1087 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
1088 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
1089 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
1090 header file has been removed.
1091 [Matt Caswell]
1092
1093 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
1094 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
1095 [Matt Caswell]
1096
1097 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
1098 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
1099 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
1100
1101 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
1102 Added a test.
1103 [Rich Salz]
1104
1105 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
1106 [Rich Salz]
1107
1108 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
1109 sha256
1110 [Rich Salz]
1111
1112 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
1113 [Matt Caswell]
1114
1115 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
1116 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
1117 initial patch which was a great help during development.
1118 [Steve Henson]
1119
1120 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
1121 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
1122 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
1123 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
1124 [Matt Caswell]
1125
1126 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
1127 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
1128 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
1129 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
1130 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
1131 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
1132 [Matt Caswell]
1133
1134 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
1135 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
1136 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
1137 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
1138 [Matt Caswell]
1139
1140 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
1141 compatible client hello.
1142 [Kurt Roeckx]
1143
1144 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
1145 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
1146 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
1147
1148 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
1149 [Rich Salz]
1150
1151 *) Removed old DES API.
1152 [Rich Salz]
1153
1154 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
1155 Sony NEWS4
1156 BEOS and BEOS_R5
1157 NeXT
1158 SUNOS
1159 MPE/iX
1160 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
1161 DGUX
1162 NCR
1163 Tandem
1164 Cray
1165 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
1166 [Rich Salz]
1167
1168 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
1169 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
1170 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
1171 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
1172 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
1173 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
1174 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
1175 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
1176 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
1177 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
1178 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
1179 [Rich Salz]
1180
1181 *) Cleaned up dead code
1182 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
1183 [Rich Salz]
1184
1185 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
1186 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
1187 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
1188 [Rich Salz]
1189
1190 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
1191 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
1192 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
1193 [Rich Salz]
1194
1195 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
1196 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
1197 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
1198
1199 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
1200 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
1201 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
1202
1203 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1204 compilation flags.
1205 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1206
1207 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1208 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
1209 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1210
1211 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1212 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1213
1214 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1215 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1216 server.
1217
1218 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1219 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1220 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1221 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1222
1223 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1224 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1225 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1226 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1227
1228 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1229 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1230 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1231
1232 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1233 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1234 [Steve Henson]
1235
1236 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
1237
1238 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
1239 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
1240
1241 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
1242 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
1243
1244 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
1245 effect.
1246
1247 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
1248
1249 [Steve Henson]
1250
1251 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1252 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1253 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1254 algorithms and include tests cases.
1255 [Steve Henson]
1256
1257 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
1258 enveloped data.
1259 [Steve Henson]
1260
1261 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1262 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1263 [Steve Henson]
1264
1265 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1266 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1267
1268 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
1269 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
1270 [Steve Henson]
1271
1272 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
1273 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
1274 failures.
1275 [Steve Henson]
1276
1277 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
1278 sign or verify all in one operation.
1279 [Steve Henson]
1280
1281 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
1282 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
1283 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
1284 [Steve Henson]
1285
1286 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
1287 [Steve Henson]
1288
1289 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
1290 [Steve Henson]
1291
1292 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
1293 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
1294 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
1295 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
1296 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
1297 [Steve Henson]
1298
1299 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
1300 based on NID.
1301 [Steve Henson]
1302
1303 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
1304 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
1305 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
1306 [Steve Henson]
1307
1308 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
1309 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
1310
1311 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
1312 POST to handle HMAC cases.
1313 [Steve Henson]
1314
1315 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
1316 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
1317 [Steve Henson]
1318
1319 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
1320 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
1321 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1322 [Steve Henson]
1323
1324 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
1325 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
1326 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
1327 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
1328 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
1329 requested amount of entropy.
1330 [Steve Henson]
1331
1332 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
1333 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
1334 [Steve Henson]
1335
1336 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
1337 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
1338 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
1339 support.
1340 [Steve Henson]
1341
1342 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
1343 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
1344 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
1345 [Steve Henson]
1346
1347 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
1348 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
1349 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
1350 will never use XTS mode.
1351 [Steve Henson]
1352
1353 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
1354 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
1355 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
1356 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
1357 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
1358 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
1359 [Steve Henson]
1360
1361 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
1362 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
1363 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
1364 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
1365 [Steve Henson]
1366
1367 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
1368 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
1369 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
1370 [Steve Henson]
1371
1372 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
1373 [Steve Henson]
1374
1375 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
1376 [Steve Henson]
1377
1378 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
1379 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
1380 [Steve Henson]
1381
1382 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
1383 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
1384 [Steve Henson]
1385
1386 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
1387 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
1388 [Steve Henson]
1389
1390 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
1391 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
1392 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
1393 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
1394 and rename any affected symbols.
1395 [Steve Henson]
1396
1397 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
1398 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
1399 [Steve Henson]
1400
1401 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
1402 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
1403 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
1404 [Steve Henson]
1405
1406 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1407 [Steve Henson]
1408
1409 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
1410 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
1411 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
1412 [Steve Henson]
1413
1414 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
1415 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
1416 [Steve Henson]
1417
1418 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
1419 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
1420 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
1421 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
1422 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
1423 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
1424 set before the key.
1425 [Steve Henson]
1426
1427 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
1428 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
1429 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
1430 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
1431 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
1432 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
1433 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
1434 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
1435 [Steve Henson]
1436
1437 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
1438 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
1439 [Steve Henson]
1440
1441 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
1442
1443 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1444 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1445
1446 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
1447 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
1448 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
1449 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
1450 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
1451 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
1452
1453 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
1454 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
1455 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
1456 security.
1457 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1458
1459 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
1460 parameters by name.
1461 [Steve Henson]
1462
1463 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
1464 Add CMAC pkey methods.
1465 [Steve Henson]
1466
1467 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
1468 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
1469 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
1470 [Steve Henson]
1471
1472 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
1473 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
1474 multi-process servers.
1475 [Steve Henson]
1476
1477 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
1478 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
1479 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
1480 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
1481 RAND_METHOD structure.
1482 [Steve Henson]
1483
1484 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
1485 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
1486 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
1487 whose return value is often ignored.
1488 [Steve Henson]
1489
1490 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
1491 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
1492 validated when establishing a connection.
1493 [Rob Percival <robpercival@google.com>]
1494
1495 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
1496
1497 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
1498
1499 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
1500 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
1501 AES-NI.
1502
1503 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
1504 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
1505 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
1506 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
1507 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
1508 bytes.
1509
1510 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
1511 (CVE-2016-2107)
1512 [Kurt Roeckx]
1513
1514 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
1515
1516 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
1517 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
1518 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
1519 corruption.
1520
1521 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
1522 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
1523 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
1524 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
1525 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
1526 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.

1531
1532 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
1533
1534 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
1535 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
1536 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
1537 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
1538 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
1539 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
1540 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
1541 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
1542 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
1543 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
1544 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
1545 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
1546 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
1547 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
1548 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
1549 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.

1553 [Matt Caswell]
1554
1555 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
1556
1557 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
1558 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
1559 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
1560
1561 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
1562 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
1563 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
1564 applications are not affected.
1565
1566 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.

1568 [Stephen Henson]
1569
1570 *) EBCDIC overread
1571
1572 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
1573 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
1574 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.

1593
1594 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
1595 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
1596 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
1597 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1598
1599 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
1600 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
1601 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
1602 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
1603 will need to explicitly call either of:
1604
1605 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1606 or
1607 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1608
1609 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
1610 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
1611 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
1612 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
1613 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.

1616
1617 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
1618
1619 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
1620 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
1621 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
1622 considered rare.
1623
1624 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
1625 libFuzzer.
1626 (CVE-2016-0705)
1627 [Stephen Henson]
1628
1629 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
1630
1631 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
1632
1633 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1634 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
1635 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
1636 is configured.
1637
1638 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1639 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1640 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1641 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1642 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1643 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1644 that of a valid user.
1645 (CVE-2016-0798)
1646 [Emilia Käsper]
1647
1648 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
1649
1650 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
1651 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
1652 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
1653 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
1654 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
1655 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
1656 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
1657 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
1658 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
1659 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
1660 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
1661
1662 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
1663 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
1664 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
1665 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
1666 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
1667
1668 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
1669 (CVE-2016-0797)
1670 [Matt Caswell]
1671
1672 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
1673
1674 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
1675 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
1676 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
1677
1678 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
1679 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
1680 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
1681 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
1682 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
1683 also occur.
1684
1685 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
1686 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
1687 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
1688 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
1689 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
1690 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
1691 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
1692 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
1693 as command line arguments.
1694
1695 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
1696 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
1697 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
1698
1699 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.

1701 [Matt Caswell]
1702
1703 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
1704
1705 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
1706 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
1707 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
1708 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
1709 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
1710
1711 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
1712 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and

1723
1724 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
1725 *) DH small subgroups
1726
1727 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
1728 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
1729 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
1730 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
1731 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
1732 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
1733 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
1734 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
1735 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
1736 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
1737
1738 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
1739 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
1740 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
1741 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
1742 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
1743
1744 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
1745 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
1746 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
1747 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
1748
1749 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
1750 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
1751
1752 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).

1756 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
1757
1758 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
1759 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
1760 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
1761 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

1770 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1771
1772 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1773 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1774 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1775 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1776 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1777 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1778 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1779 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1780 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1781 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1782 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1783 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

1790
1791 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1792 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1793 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
1794 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
1795 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
1796 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
1797 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client

1829
1830 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
1831 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
1832 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
1833 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
1834 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
1835 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.

1852 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
1853 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
1854 field.
1855
1856 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
1857 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
1858 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
1859 client authentication enabled.

1867 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
1868 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
1869 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
1870 time string.
1871
1872 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
1873 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
1874 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
1875 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
1876 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
1877 callbacks.

1932 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
1933
1934 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
1935
1936 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
1937 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
1938 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
1939 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
1940 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
1941 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
1942 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
1943 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
1944
1945 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
1946 (CVE-2015-0290)
1947 [Matt Caswell]
1948
1949 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
1950
1951 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
1952 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
1953 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
1954 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
1955 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
1956 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
1957 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
1958 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
1959 server.

1966
1967 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
1968 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
1969 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
1970 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1971 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1972 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.

1977
1978 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer

1980 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
1981 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any

1989
1990 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
1991
1992 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
1993 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
1994 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
1995
1996 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
1997 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
1998 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
1999 not affected.
2000 (CVE-2015-0287)
2001 [Stephen Henson]
2002
2003 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
2004
2005 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
2006 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
2007 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2008
2009 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
2010 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
2011 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
2012
2013 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
2014 (CVE-2015-0289)
2015 [Emilia Käsper]
2016
2017 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
2018
2019 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
2020 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
2021 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
2022
2023 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
2024 (OpenSSL development team).
2025 (CVE-2015-0293)
2026 [Emilia Käsper]
2027
2028 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
2029
2030 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
2031 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
2032 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
2033 (CVE-2015-1787)
2034 [Matt Caswell]
2035
2036 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
2037
2038 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
2039 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
2040 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
2041 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
2042 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
2043 SSL_client_methodv23)
2044 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
2045 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
2046
2047 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
2048 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
2049 output may be predictable.
2050
2051 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
2052 succeed on an unpatched platform:
2053
2054 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
2055 (CVE-2015-0285)
2056 [Matt Caswell]
2057
2058 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
2059
2060 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
2061 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
2062 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
2063 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
2064 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
2065 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
2066
2067 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
2068 commit 517073cd4b.
2069 (CVE-2015-0209)
2070 [Matt Caswell]
2071
2072 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
2073
2074 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
2075 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
2076
2077 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
2078 (CVE-2015-0288)
2079 [Stephen Henson]
2080
2081 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
2082 [Kurt Roeckx]
2083
2084 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
2085
2086 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
2087 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
2088 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
2089 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
2090 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
2091 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
2092 [Andy Polyakov]
2093
2094 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
2095 (other platforms pending).
2096 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
2097
2098 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
2099 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
2100 [Rob Stradling]
2101
2102 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2103 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2104 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2105 [Bodo Moeller]
2106
2107 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
2108 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
2109 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
2110 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
2111 [Andy Polyakov]
2112
2113 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
2114 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
2115
2116 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
2117 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
2118 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
2119 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
2120 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
2121
2122 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
2123 [Andy Polyakov]
2124
2125 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
2126 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
2127 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
2128 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
2129
2130 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
2131 RSAZ.
2132 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
2133
2134 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
2135 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
2136 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
2137 for TLS encrypt.
2138
2139 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
2140 [Andy Polyakov]
2141
2142 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
2143 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
2144 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
2145 [Steve Henson]
2146
2147 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2148 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2149 [Steve Henson]
2150
2151 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2152 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2153 [Steve Henson]
2154
2155 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2156 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2157 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2158 algorithms and include tests cases.
2159 [Steve Henson]
2160
2161 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
2162 structure.
2163 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
2164
2165 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
2166 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
2167 [Steve Henson]
2168
2169 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
2170 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
2171 summary of the connection parameters.
2172 [Steve Henson]
2173
2174 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
2175 of connection parameters.
2176 [Steve Henson]
2177
2178 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
2179 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
2180
2181 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
2182 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
2183 [Steve Henson]
2184
2185 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
2186 [Steve Henson]
2187
2188 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
2189 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
2190 [Steve Henson]
2191
2192 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
2193 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
2194 [Steve Henson]
2195
2196 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
2197 certificates.
2198 [Steve Henson]
2199
2200 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
2201 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
2202 CRLs using the OCSP API.
2203 [Steve Henson]
2204
2205 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
2206 [Steve Henson]
2207
2208 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
2209 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
2210 [Steve Henson]
2211
2212 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
2213 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
2214 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
2215 tracing.
2216 [Steve Henson]
2217
2218 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
2219 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
2220 [Steve Henson]
2221
2222 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
2223 OID NID.
2224 [Steve Henson]
2225
2226 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
2227 client to OpenSSL.
2228 [Steve Henson]
2229
2230 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
2231 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
2232 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
2233 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
2234 [Steve Henson]
2235
2236 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
2237 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
2238 [Steve Henson]
2239
2240 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
2241 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
2242 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
2243 comparison.
2244 [Steve Henson]
2245
2246 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
2247 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
2248 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
2249 use the certificate.
2250 [Steve Henson]
2251
2252 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
2253 [Steve Henson]
2254
2255 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
2256 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
2257 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
2258 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
2259 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
2260 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
2261 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
2262
2263 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
2264 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
2265
2266 [Steve Henson]
2267
2268 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
2269 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
2270 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
2271 [Steve Henson]
2272
2273 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
2274 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
2275 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
2276 supported signature algorithms.
2277 [Steve Henson]
2278
2279 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
2280 [Steve Henson]
2281
2282 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
2283 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
2284 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
2285 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
2286 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
2287 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
2288 certificate and specify the whole chain.
2289 [Steve Henson]
2290
2291 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
2292 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
2293 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
2294 to have similar checks in it.
2295
2296 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
2297 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
2298 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
2299 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
2300 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
2301 [Steve Henson]
2302
2303 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
2304 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
2305 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
2306 shared signature algorithms.
2307 [Steve Henson]
2308
2309 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
2310 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
2311 to support them.
2312 [Steve Henson]
2313
2314 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
2315 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
2316 it couldn't be removed.
2317 [Steve Henson]
2318
2319 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
2320 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
2321 [Steve Henson]
2322
2323 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
2324 functions. Add manual page.
2325 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
2326
2327 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
2328 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
2329 a certificate.
2330 [Steve Henson]
2331
2332 *) Fix OCSP checking.
2333 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
2334
2335 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
2336 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
2337 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
2338 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
2339 utility) or reject.
2340 [Steve Henson]
2341
2342 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
2343 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
2344 [Steve Henson]
2345
2346 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
2347 platform support for Linux and Android.
2348 [Andy Polyakov]
2349
2350 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
2351 [Andy Polyakov]
2352
2353 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2354 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
2355 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
2356 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
2357 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
2358 [Steve Henson]
2359
2360 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
2361 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
2362 the new parameter format automatically.
2363 [Steve Henson]
2364
2365 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
2366 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
2367 [Steve Henson]
2368
2369 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
2370 [Steve Henson]
2371
2372 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
2373 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
2374 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
2375 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
2376 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
2377 [Steve Henson]
2378
2379 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
2380 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
2381 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
2382 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
2383 to set list of supported curves.
2384 [Steve Henson]
2385
2386 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
2387 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
2388 to print out received values.
2389 [Steve Henson]
2390
2391 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
2392 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
2393 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
2394 [Steve Henson]
2395
2396 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
2397 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
2398 [Steve Henson]
2399
2400 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
2401 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
2402 [Steve Henson]
2403
2404 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
2405 certificates.
2406 [Steve Henson]
2407
2408 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
2409 the certificate.
2410 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
2411 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
2412 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
2413
2414 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
2415
2416 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
2417 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
2418
2419 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
2420
2421 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
2422 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
2423 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
2424 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
2425 (CVE-2014-3571)
2426 [Steve Henson]
2427
2428 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
2429 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
2430 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
2431 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
2432 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
2433 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
2434 (CVE-2015-0206)
2435 [Matt Caswell]
2436
2437 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
2438 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
2439 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
2440 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
2441 (CVE-2014-3569)
2442 [Kurt Roeckx]
2443
2444 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
2445 ECDH ciphersuites.
2446
2447 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
2448 reporting this issue.
2449 (CVE-2014-3572)
2450 [Steve Henson]
2451
2452 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
2453 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
2454 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
2455 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
2456 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
2457 INRIA or reporting this issue.
2458 (CVE-2015-0204)
2459 [Steve Henson]
2460
2461 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
2462 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
2463 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
2464 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
2465 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
2466 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
2467 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
2468 this issue.
2469 (CVE-2015-0205)
2470 [Steve Henson]
2471
2472 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
2473 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
2474
2475 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
2476 and can vary with the CTX.
2477 [Adam Langley]
2478
2479 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
2480
2481 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
2482 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
2483 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
2484 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
2485 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
2486
2487 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
2488
2489 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
2490 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
2491
2492 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
2493
2494 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
2495 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
2496 errors for some broken certificates.
2497
2498 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
2499
2500 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
2501
2502 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
2503 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
2504
2505 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
2506 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
2507 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
2508 (negative or with leading zeroes).
2509
2510 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
2511 of the OpenSSL core team.
2512
2513 (CVE-2014-8275)
2514 [Steve Henson]
2515
2516 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
2517 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
2518 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
2519 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
2520 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
2521 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
2522 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
2523 the OpenSSL core team.
2524 (CVE-2014-3570)
2525 [Andy Polyakov]
2526
2527 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
2528 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
2529 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
2530 sanity and breaks all known clients.
2531 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
2532
2533 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
2534 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
2535 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
2536 [Emilia Käsper]
2537
2538 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
2539 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
2540 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2541 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
2542 announced in the initial ServerHello.
2543
2544 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
2545 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2546 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
2547 [Emilia Käsper]
2548
2549 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
2550
2551 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
2552
2553 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
2554 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
2555 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
2556 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
2557 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
2558 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
2559 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
2560
2561 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
2562 (CVE-2014-3513)
2563 [OpenSSL team]
2564
2565 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
2566
2567 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
2568 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
2569 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
2570 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
2571 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
2572 attack.
2573 (CVE-2014-3567)
2574 [Steve Henson]
2575
2576 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
2577
2578 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
2579 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
2580 configured to send them.
2581 (CVE-2014-3568)
2582 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
2583
2584 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
2585 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
2586 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
2587 (CVE-2014-3566)
2588 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2589
2590 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
2591
2592 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
2593 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
2594 DigestInfo structures.
2595
2596 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
2597
2598 [Steve Henson]
2599
2600 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
2601
2602 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
2603 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
2604 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
2605
2606 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
2607 Group for discovering this issue.
2608 (CVE-2014-3512)
2609 [Steve Henson]
2610
2611 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
2612 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
2613 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
2614 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
2615 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
2616
2617 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
2618 researching this issue.
2619 (CVE-2014-3511)
2620 [David Benjamin]
2621
2622 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
2623 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
2624 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
2625 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
2626
2627 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
2628 issue.
2629 (CVE-2014-3510)
2630 [Emilia Käsper]
2631
2632 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
2633 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2634 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2635 (CVE-2014-3507)
2636 [Adam Langley]
2637
2638 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
2639 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
2640 Denial of Service attack.
2641 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2642 (CVE-2014-3506)
2643 [Adam Langley]
2644
2645 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
2646 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
2647 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2648 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
2649 this issue.
2650 (CVE-2014-3505)
2651 [Adam Langley]
2652
2653 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
2654 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
2655 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
2656
2657 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
2658 issue.
2659 (CVE-2014-3509)
2660 [Gabor Tyukasz]
2661
2662 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
2663 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
2664 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
2665 Denial of Service attack.
2666
2667 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
2668 discovering and researching this issue.
2669 (CVE-2014-5139)
2670 [Steve Henson]
2671
2672 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
2673 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
2674 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
2675 output to the attacker.
2676
2677 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
2678 (CVE-2014-3508)
2679 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
2680
2681 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2682 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2683 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2684 [Bodo Moeller]
2685
2686 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
2687
2688 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
2689 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
2690 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
2691
2692 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
2693 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
2694 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
2695
2696 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
2697 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
2698 in a DoS attack.
2699
2700 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
2701 (CVE-2014-0221)
2702 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
2703
2704 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
2705 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
2706 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
2707 code on a vulnerable client or server.
2708
2709 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
2710 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
2711
2712 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
2713 are subject to a denial of service attack.
2714
2715 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
2716 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
2717 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
2718
2719 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2720 compilation flags.
2721 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2722
2723 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2724 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
2725 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2726
2727 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2728 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2729
2730 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
2731
2732 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2733 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2734 server.
2735
2736 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2737 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
2738 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2739 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2740
2741 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2742 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2743 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2744 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2745
2746 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2747 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2748 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2749
2750 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
2751
2752 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
2753 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
2754 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
2755 is at least 512 bytes long.
2756
2757 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
2758
2759 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
2760
2761 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
2762 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
2763 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
2764 (CVE-2013-4353)
2765
2766 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
2767 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
2768 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
2769 [Steve Henson]
2770
2771 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
2772 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
2773 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
2774 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
2775 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
2776 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
2777 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
2778
2779 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
2780
2781 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
2782 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
2783 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2784
2785 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
2786
2787 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
2788
2789 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
2790 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
2791 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
2792
2793 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2794 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2795 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
2796 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
2797 (CVE-2013-0169)
2798 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2799
2800 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
2801 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
2802 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
2803 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
2804 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
2805 (CVE-2012-2686)
2806 [Adam Langley]
2807
2808 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2809 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2810 [Steve Henson]
2811
2812 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2813 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2814
2815 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
2816 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
2817 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
2818 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
2819 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
2820
2821 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
2822 [Steve Henson]
2823
2824 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
2825 if renegotiating.
2826 [Steve Henson]
2827
2828 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
2829
2830 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
2831 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
2832
2833 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
2834 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
2835 (CVE-2012-2333)
2836 [Steve Henson]
2837
2838 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
2839 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
2840 [Steve Henson]
2841
2842 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
2843 approved.
2844 [Steve Henson]
2845
2846 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
2847
2848 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
2849 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
2850 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
2851 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
2852 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
2853 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
2854 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
2855 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
2856 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
2857 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
2858 [Steve Henson]
2859
2860 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
2861 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
2862 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
2863 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
2864 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
2865 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
2866 client side.
2867 [Andy Polyakov]
2868
2869 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
2870
2871 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
2872 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
2873 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
2874
2875 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
2876 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
2877 (CVE-2012-2110)
2878 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
2879
2880 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
2881 [Adam Langley]
2882
2883 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
2884 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
2885
2886 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
2887 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
2888 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
2889 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
2890 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
2891 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
2892 Most broken servers should now work.
2893 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
2894 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
2895 [Steve Henson]
2896
2897 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
2898 [Andy Polyakov]
2899
2900 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
2901
2902 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
2903 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
2904 [Steve Henson]
2905
2906 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
2907 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
2908 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
2909 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
2910 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
2911 [Steve Henson]
2912
2913 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
2914 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
2915 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
2916 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
2917 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
2918 [Steve Henson]
2919
2920 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
2921 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2922
2923 *) Add support for SCTP.
2924 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2925
2926 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2927 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2928
2929 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
2930
2931 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
2932 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
2933 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
2934 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
2935 - s390x: z196 support;
2936 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
2937
2938 [Andy Polyakov]
2939
2940 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
2941 (removal of unnecessary code)
2942 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
2943
2944 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
2945 [Eric Rescorla]
2946
2947 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
2948 [Eric Rescorla]
2949
2950 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
2951 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
2952 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
2953 by Google.
2954 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2955
2956 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
2957 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
2958 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
2959 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
2960 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
2961
2962 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
2963 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
2964 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
2965
2966 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
2967 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
2968 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
2969
2970 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
2971 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
2972 implementations).
2973 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2974
2975 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
2976 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
2977 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
2978 [Steve Henson]
2979
2980 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
2981 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
2982 particular PSS.
2983 [Steve Henson]
2984
2985 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
2986 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
2987 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
2988 [Steve Henson]
2989
2990 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
2991 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
2992 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
2993 the appropriate parameters.
2994 [Steve Henson]
2995
2996 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
2997 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
2998 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
2999 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
3000 against a number of sample certificates.
3001 [Steve Henson]
3002
3003 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
3004 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
3005
3006 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
3007 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
3008
3009 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
3010 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
3011 parameters r, s.
3012 [Steve Henson]
3013
3014 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
3015 RFC3211.
3016 [Steve Henson]
3017
3018 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
3019 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
3020 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
3021 password based CMS).
3022 [Steve Henson]
3023
3024 *) Session-handling fixes:
3025 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
3026 but also support Session Tickets.
3027 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
3028 presented a ticket with an expired session.
3029 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
3030 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
3031 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
3032 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3033
3034 *) Fix PSK session representation.
3035 [Bodo Moeller]
3036
3037 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
3038
3039 This work was sponsored by Intel.
3040 [Andy Polyakov]
3041
3042 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
3043 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
3044 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
3045 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
3046 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
3047 [Steve Henson]
3048
3049 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
3050 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
3051 [Steve Henson]
3052
3053 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
3054 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
3055 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
3056 [Steve Henson]
3057
3058 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
3059 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
3060 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
3061 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
3062 [Steve Henson]
3063
3064 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
3065 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
3066 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
3067 [Steve Henson]
3068
3069 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
3070 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
3071
3072 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
3073 [Steve Henson]
3074
3075 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
3076 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
3077 [Steve Henson]
3078
3079 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
3080 [Steve Henson]
3081
3082 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
3083 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
3084 [Steve Henson]
3085
3086 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
3087 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
3088 [Steve Henson]
3089
3090 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
3091 [Steve Henson]
3092
3093 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
3094 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
3095 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
3096 [Steve Henson]
3097
3098 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3099 [Steve Henson]
3100
3101 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3102 [Steve Henson]
3103
3104 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
3105 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
3106 [Steve Henson]
3107
3108 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
3109 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
3110 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
3111 [Steve Henson]
3112
3113 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
3114 [Steve Henson]
3115
3116 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
3117 and enable MD5.
3118 [Steve Henson]
3119
3120 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
3121 FIPS modules versions.
3122 [Steve Henson]
3123
3124 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
3125 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
3126 until after the certificate request message is received.
3127 [Steve Henson]
3128
3129 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
3130 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
3131 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
3132 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
3133 [Steve Henson]
3134
3135 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
3136 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
3137 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
3138 support yet and no support for client certificates.
3139 [Steve Henson]
3140
3141 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
3142 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
3143 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
3144 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
3145 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
3146 and version checking.
3147 [Steve Henson]
3148
3149 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
3150 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
3151 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
3152 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
3153 [Steve Henson]
3154
3155 *) Add SRP support.
3156 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
3157
3158 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
3159 [Steve Henson]
3160
3161 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
3162 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
3163 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3164
3165 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
3166 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
3167 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
3168 [Steve Henson]
3169
3170 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
3171 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
3172
3173 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
3174 a few changes are required:
3175
3176 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
3177 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
3178 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
3179 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
3180 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
3181 [Steve Henson]
3182
3183 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
3184
3185 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
3186 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
3187 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
3188 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
3189 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
3190 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
3191 an MMA defence is not necessary.
3192 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
3193 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
3194 [Steve Henson]
3195
3196 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
3197 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
3198 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
3199 [Steve Henson]
3200
3201 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
3202
3203 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
3204 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
3205 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
3206 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
3207 [Antonio Martin]
3208
3209 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
3210
3211 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
3212 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
3213 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
3214 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
3215 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
3216 paper describing this attack can be found at:
3217 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
3218 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3219 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3220 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
3221 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
3222 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
3223 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
3224
3225 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
3226 (CVE-2011-4576)
3227 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3228
3229 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
3230 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
3231 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
3232 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3233
3234 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
3235 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
3236
3237 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
3238 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
3239 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
3240 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3241
3242 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3243 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3244
3245 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
3246 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3247
3248 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
3249 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3250
3251 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
3252 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
3253 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3254
3255 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
3256 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
3257 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
3258
3259 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
3260 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
3261 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
3262 the last update always remained unused).
3263 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3264
3265 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
3266 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
3267
3268 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
3269
3270 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
3271 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
3272 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
3273
3274 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
3275 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
3276 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3277
3278 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
3279 [Bodo Moeller]
3280
3281 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
3282 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
3283 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
3284 [Steve Henson]
3285
3286 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
3287 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
3288
3289 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
3290
3291 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
3292
3293 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
3294
3295 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
3296 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3297
3298 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
3299 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
3300 ambiguous.
3301 [Steve Henson]
3302
3303 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
3304
3305 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
3306 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
3307 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
3308 [Steve Henson]
3309
3310 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
3311 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
3312 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
3313 [Ben Laurie]
3314
3315 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
3316
3317 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
3318 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
3319 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
3320 [Steve Henson]
3321
3322 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
3323 a DLL.
3324 [Steve Henson]
3325
3326 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
3327
3328 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
3329 (CVE-2010-1633)
3330 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
3331
3332 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
3333
3334 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
3335 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
3336 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
3337 [Steve Henson]
3338
3339 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
3340 [Steve Henson]
3341
3342 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
3343 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
3344 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
3345
3346 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
3347 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
3348 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
3349 [Steve Henson]
3350
3351 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
3352 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
3353 [Steve Henson]
3354
3355 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
3356 some responders need this.
3357 [Steve Henson]
3358
3359 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
3360 correctly.
3361 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3362
3363 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
3364 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
3365 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
3366 [Steve Henson]
3367
3368 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
3369 [Steve Henson]
3370
3371 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
3372 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
3373 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
3374 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
3375 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
3376 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
3377 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
3378 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
3379 [Steve Henson]
3380
3381 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
3382 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
3383 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
3384 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3385
3386 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
3387 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
3388
3389 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
3390 be used on C++.
3391 [Steve Henson]
3392
3393 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
3394 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
3395 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
3396 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
3397 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
3398 attempting to work them out.
3399 [Steve Henson]
3400
3401 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
3402 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
3403 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
3404 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
3405 [Steve Henson]
3406
3407 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
3408 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
3409 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
3410 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
3411 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
3412 [Steve Henson]
3413
3414 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
3415 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
3416 you can do:
3417
3418 openssl sha256 foo
3419
3420 as well as:
3421
3422 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
3423
3424 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
3425
3426 [Steve Henson]
3427
3428 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
3429 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3430
3431 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
3432 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
3433
3434 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
3435 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
3436 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
3437 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
3438 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
3439 [Steve Henson]
3440
3441 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
3442 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
3443 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
3444 [Steve Henson]
3445
3446 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
3447 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
3448 [Steve Henson]
3449
3450 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
3451 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
3452
3453 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
3454 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
3455 [Steve Henson]
3456
3457 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
3458 [Ben Laurie]
3459
3460 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
3461 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
3462 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
3463 CONF_VALUE.
3464 [Ben Laurie]
3465
3466 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
3467 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
3468 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
3469 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
3470 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
3471 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
3472 [Steve Henson]
3473
3474 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
3475 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
3476
3477 This work was sponsored by Google.
3478 [Steve Henson]
3479
3480 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
3481 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
3482 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
3483 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
3484 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
3485 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
3486 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
3487 default.
3488
3489 This work was sponsored by Google.
3490 [Steve Henson]
3491
3492 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
3493
3494 This work was sponsored by Google.
3495 [Steve Henson]
3496
3497 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
3498 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
3499 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
3500 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
3501
3502 This work was sponsored by Google.
3503 [Steve Henson]
3504
3505 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
3506 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
3507 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
3508 CRL functionality in future.
3509
3510 This work was sponsored by Google.
3511 [Steve Henson]
3512
3513 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
3514
3515 This work was sponsored by Google.
3516 [Steve Henson]
3517
3518 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
3519 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
3520
3521 This work was sponsored by Google.
3522 [Steve Henson]
3523
3524 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
3525 and URI types are currently supported.
3526
3527 This work was sponsored by Google.
3528 [Steve Henson]
3529
3530 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
3531 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
3532 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
3533 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
3534 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
3535 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
3536 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
3537 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
3538
3539 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
3540 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
3541 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
3542
3543 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
3544 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
3545 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
3546 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
3547
3548 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
3549 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
3550 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
3551 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
3552 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
3553 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
3554 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
3555 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
3556 of &errno.)
3557 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
3558
3559 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
3560 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
3561 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
3562
3563 This work was sponsored by Google.
3564 [Steve Henson]
3565
3566 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
3567 [Ben Laurie]
3568
3569 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3570 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
3571 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
3572 [Ben Laurie]
3573
3574 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
3575 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
3576 [Nick Mathewson]
3577
3578 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3579 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
3580 [Ben Laurie]
3581
3582 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
3583 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
3584 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
3585 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
3586 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
3587 content types and variants.
3588 [Steve Henson]
3589
3590 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
3591 [Steve Henson]
3592
3593 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
3594 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
3595 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
3596 files from the associated perl scripts.
3597 [Steve Henson]
3598
3599 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
3600 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
3601 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3602
3603 *) s390x assembler pack.
3604 [Andy Polyakov]
3605
3606 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
3607 "family."
3608 [Andy Polyakov]
3609
3610 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
3611 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
3612 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
3613 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
3614 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
3615 to use. For example, specify an option
3616
3617 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
3618
3619 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
3620 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
3621 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
3622 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
3623 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
3624 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
3625
3626 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
3627 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
3628 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
3629 return non-zero for success.
3630
3631 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
3632 by using
3633
3634 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
3635 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3636
3637 where
3638
3639 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
3640 void *arg;
3641
3642 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
3643 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
3644 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
3645 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
3646 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
3647 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
3648 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
3649 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
3650 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
3651
3652 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
3653 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
3654 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
3655 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
3656 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
3657 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
3658
3659 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
3660 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
3661 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
3662 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
3663 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
3664 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
3665
3666 [Bodo Moeller]
3667
3668 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
3669 MAC.
3670
3671 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3672
3673 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3674 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3675 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3676 supported.
3677
3678 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3679 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3680 SSL_SESSION.
3681
3682 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3683 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3684 with no application modification.
3685
3686 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3687 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3688
3689 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3690 or server extensions to be examined.
3691
3692 This work was sponsored by Google.
3693 [Steve Henson]
3694
3695 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
3696 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
3697 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
3698
3699 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
3700 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
3701 ciphersuite support.
3702 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
3703
3704 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
3705 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
3706 to output in BER and PEM format.
3707 [Steve Henson]
3708
3709 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
3710 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
3711 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
3712 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
3713 -macopt options to dgst utility.
3714 [Steve Henson]
3715
3716 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
3717 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
3718 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
3719 utility.
3720 [Steve Henson]
3721
3722 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
3723 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
3724 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
3725 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
3726 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
3727 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
3728 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
3729 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
3730 enabled again.
3731
3732 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
3733 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
3734 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
3735 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
3736
3737 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
3738 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
3739 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
3740 the default order.
3741 [Bodo Moeller]
3742
3743 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
3744 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
3745 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
3746 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
3747 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
3748 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
3749 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
3750 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
3751 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
3752
3753 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
3754 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
3755 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
3756 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
3757 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
3758 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
3759 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
3760 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
3761 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
3762 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
3763 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
3764 kinds of kludges.
3765
3766 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
3767 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
3768 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
3769
3770 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
3771 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
3772 "CAMELLIA256".
3773 [Bodo Moeller]
3774
3775 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
3776 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
3777 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
3778 [Nils Larsch]
3779
3780 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
3781 it yet and it is largely untested.
3782 [Steve Henson]
3783
3784 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
3785 [Nils Larsch]
3786
3787 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
3788 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
3789 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
3790 [Steve Henson]
3791
3792 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
3793 [Andy Polyakov]
3794
3795 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
3796 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
3797 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
3798 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
3799 [Steve Henson]
3800
3801 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
3802 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
3803 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
3804 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
3805 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
3806 [Steve Henson]
3807
3808 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
3809 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
3810 [Cryptocom]
3811
3812 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
3813 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
3814 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
3815 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
3816 [Steve Henson]
3817
3818 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
3819 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
3820 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
3821 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
3822 [Steve Henson]
3823
3824 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
3825 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
3826 [Steve Henson]
3827
3828 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
3829 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
3830 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
3831 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
3832 [Steve Henson]
3833
3834 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
3835 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
3836 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
3837 [Steve Henson]
3838
3839 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
3840 utility.
3841 [Steve Henson]
3842
3843 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
3844 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
3845 [Steve Henson]
3846
3847 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
3848 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
3849 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
3850 if necessary.
3851 [Steve Henson]
3852
3853 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
3854 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
3855 to free up any added signature OIDs.
3856 [Steve Henson]
3857
3858 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
3859 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
3860 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
3861 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
3862 [Steve Henson]
3863
3864 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
3865 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
3866 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
3867 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
3868 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
3869 the array representation useful in a more general context.
3870 [Douglas Stebila]
3871
3872 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
3873 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
3874 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
3875 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
3876 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
3877
3878 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
3879 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
3880 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
3881 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
3882 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
3883 protocol).
3884
3885 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
3886 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
3887 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
3888 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
3889
3890 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
3891 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
3892 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
3893 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
3894 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
3895
3896 aECDH - ECDH cert
3897 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
3898 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
3899
3900 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
3901 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
3902
3903 [Bodo Moeller]
3904
3905 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
3906 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
3907 [Steve Henson]
3908
3909 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
3910 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
3911 [Steve Henson]
3912
3913 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
3914 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
3915 functional reference processing.
3916 [Steve Henson]
3917
3918 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
3919 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
3920 process.
3921 [Steve Henson]
3922
3923 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
3924 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
3925 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
3926 [Steve Henson]
3927
3928 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
3929 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
3930 application to support multiple signers.
3931 [Steve Henson]
3932
3933 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
3934 digest MAC.
3935 [Steve Henson]
3936
3937 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
3938 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
3939 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
3940 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
3941 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
3942 [Steve Henson]
3943
3944 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
3945 new API.
3946 [Steve Henson]
3947
3948 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
3949 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
3950 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
3951 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
3952 a no op.
3953 [Steve Henson]
3954
3955 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
3956 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
3957 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
3958 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
3959 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
3960 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
3961 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
3962 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
3963 [Steve Henson]
3964
3965 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
3966 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
3967 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
3968 between digests and public key types.
3969 [Steve Henson]
3970
3971 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
3972 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
3973 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
3974 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
3975 [Steve Henson]
3976
3977 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
3978 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
3979 key ASN1 method.
3980 [Steve Henson]
3981
3982 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
3983 [Steve Henson]
3984
3985 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
3986 pkeyutl.
3987 [Steve Henson]
3988
3989 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
3990 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
3991 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
3992 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
3993 pkey, genpkey.
3994 [Steve Henson]
3995
3996 *) BeOS support.
3997 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3998
3999 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
4000 manual pages.
4001 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4002
4003 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
4004 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
4005 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
4006 functionality for RSA.
4007 [Steve Henson]
4008
4009 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
4010 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
4011 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
4012 [Steve Henson]
4013
4014 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
4015 key API, doesn't do much yet.
4016 [Steve Henson]
4017
4018 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
4019 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
4020 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
4021 [Steve Henson]
4022
4023 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
4024 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4025 [Douglas Stebila]
4026
4027 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
4028 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
4029 [Steve Henson]
4030
4031 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
4032 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
4033 type.
4034 [Steve Henson]
4035
4036 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
4037 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
4038 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
4039 structure.
4040 [Steve Henson]
4041
4042 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
4043 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
4044 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
4045 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
4046 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
4047 of public and private key structures.
4048 [Steve Henson]
4049
4050 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
4051 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4052 [Douglas Stebila]
4053
4054 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
4055 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
4056 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
4057
4058 New ciphersuites:
4059 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
4060 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
4061
4062 New functions:
4063 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
4064 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
4065 SSL_get_psk_identity
4066 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
4067
4068 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
4069
4070 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
4071 and response verification functionality.
4072 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
4073
4074 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4075 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4076 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4077 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4078 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4079 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4080 server_name extension.
4081
4082 New functions (subject to change):
4083
4084 SSL_get_servername()
4085 SSL_get_servername_type()
4086 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4087
4088 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4089
4090 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4091 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4092 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4093 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4094 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4095
4096 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4097
4098 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4099 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4100 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4101 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4102 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4103 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4104 option.
4105
4106 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
4107
4108 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
4109 [Andy Polyakov]
4110
4111 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
4112 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
4113 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
4114 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
4115 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
4116 [Andy Polyakov]
4117
4118 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
4119 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
4120 macro.
4121 [Bodo Moeller]
4122
4123 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
4124 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
4125 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
4126 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
4127 [Andy Polyakov]
4128
4129 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
4130 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
4131 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
4132 using the maximum available value.
4133 [Steve Henson]
4134
4135 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
4136 in addition to the text details.
4137 [Bodo Moeller]
4138
4139 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
4140 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
4141 handle several customised structures at all.
4142 [Steve Henson]
4143
4144 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
4145 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
4146 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
4147 [Steve Henson]
4148
4149 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
4150 [Steve Henson]
4151
4152 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
4153 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
4154 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
4155 [Steve Henson]
4156
4157 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
4158 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
4159 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
4160 [Nils Larsch]
4161
4162 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
4163 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
4164 all fields.
4165 [Steve Henson]
4166
4167 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
4168 [Steve Henson]
4169
4170 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
4171 [NTT]
4172
4173 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
4174
4175 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
4176 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
4177 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
4178 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
4179 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
4180 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
4181 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
4182 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
4183
4184 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
4185 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
4186 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
4187
4188 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
4189
4190 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
4191 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
4192
4193 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
4194 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
4195 [Bodo Moeller]
4196
4197 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
4198 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
4199 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
4200 [Steve Henson]
4201
4202 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
4203 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
4204 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
4205 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
4206 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
4207 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
4208 [Steve Henson]
4209
4210 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
4211 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
4212 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
4213 [Steve Henson]
4214
4215 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
4216 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
4217 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
4218 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
4219 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
4220 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
4221 CVE-2009-4355.
4222 [Steve Henson]
4223
4224 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
4225 change when encrypting or decrypting.
4226 [Bodo Moeller]
4227
4228 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
4229 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
4230 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
4231 [Steve Henson]
4232
4233 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
4234 [Steve Henson]
4235
4236 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
4237 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
4238 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
4239 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
4240 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
4241 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
4242 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
4243 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
4244 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
4245 [Steve Henson]
4246
4247 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
4248 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
4249 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
4250 [Steve Henson]
4251
4252 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
4253 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
4254 [Steve Henson]
4255
4256 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
4257 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
4258 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
4259 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
4260 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
4261 know what you are doing.
4262 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
4263
4264 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
4265 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
4266 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
4267 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
4268 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
4269 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
4270 the handshake.
4271 [Steve Henson]
4272
4273 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
4274 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
4275 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
4276 correctly.
4277 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4278
4279 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
4280 warnings in other configurations.
4281 [Steve Henson]
4282
4283 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
4284 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
4285 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
4286 systems need.
4287 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
4288
4289 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
4290 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
4291 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
4292
4293 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
4294 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
4295 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
4296 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
4297 [Steve Henson]
4298
4299 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
4300 and restored.
4301 [Steve Henson]
4302
4303 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
4304 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
4305 clash.
4306 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4307
4308 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
4309 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
4310 other than a simple chain.
4311 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
4312
4313 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
4314 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
4315 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
4316 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
4317 [Steve Henson]
4318
4319 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
4320 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
4321 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
4322 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
4323 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
4324 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
4325 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
4326 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
4327 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4328
4329 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
4330 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
4331 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
4332 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
4333 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
4334 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
4335 (CVE-2009-1377)
4336 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4337
4338 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
4339 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
4340 [Daniel Mentz]
4341
4342 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
4343 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
4344
4345 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
4346 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
4347
4348 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
4349
4350 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
4351 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
4352 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
4353 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
4354 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
4355 you're doing.
4356 [Ben Laurie]
4357
4358 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
4359
4360 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
4361 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
4362 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
4363 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
4364
4365 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
4366 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
4367 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
4368 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4369
4370 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
4371 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
4372 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
4373 [Steve Henson]
4374
4375 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
4376 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
4377 level.
4378 [Steve Henson]
4379
4380 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
4381 to handle some structures.
4382 [Steve Henson]
4383
4384 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
4385 for a '\n'
4386 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
4387
4388 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
4389 [Matthieu Herrb]
4390
4391 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
4392 [Steve Henson]
4393
4394 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
4395 [Steve Henson]
4396
4397 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
4398 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
4399 chosen compiler.
4400 [Ben Laurie]
4401
4402 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
4403
4404 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
4405 (CVE-2008-5077).
4406 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
4407
4408 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
4409 [Ben Laurie]
4410
4411 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
4412 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
4413 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
4414 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
4415
4416 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
4417 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
4418
4419 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
4420 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
4421 [Bodo Moeller]
4422
4423 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
4424 s_client and s_server.
4425 [Ben Laurie]
4426
4427 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
4428 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4429
4430 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
4431 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
4432
4433 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
4434 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
4435 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
4436 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
4437 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
4438 [Bodo Moeller]
4439
4440 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
4441
4442 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
4443 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
4444 [PR #1679]
4445
4446 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
4447 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
4448 [Nagendra Modadugu]
4449
4450 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
4451 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
4452 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
4453 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
4454
4455 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
4456 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
4457
4458 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
4459
4460 *) Various precautionary measures:
4461
4462 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
4463
4464 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
4465 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
4466 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
4467
4468 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
4469 outside the expected range.
4470
4471 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
4472 builds.
4473
4474 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
4475
4476 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
4477 the load fails. Useful for distros.
4478 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
4479
4480 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
4481 [Steve Henson]
4482
4483 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
4484 [Huang Ying]
4485
4486 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
4487
4488 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4489 [Steve Henson]
4490
4491 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
4492 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
4493 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
4494
4495 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4496 [Steve Henson]
4497
4498 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
4499 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
4500 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
4501 files.
4502 [Steve Henson]
4503
4504 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
4505
4506 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
4507 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
4508 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
4509 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
4510
4511 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
4512 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
4513 [Joe Orton]
4514
4515 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
4516
4517 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
4518 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
4519 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
4520
4521 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
4522
4523 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
4524 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
4525 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
4526 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
4527 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4528
4529 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
4530 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
4531 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
4532 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
4533 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
4534 invalid read after the end of 'db').
4535 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4536
4537 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
4538
4539 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
4540 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
4541 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
4542 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
4543 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
4544
4545 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
4546 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
4547
4548 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
4549 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
4550 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
4551 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
4552 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
4553
4554 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
4555
4556 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
4557 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
4558 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
4559 sets may exist with different names.
4560 [Steve Henson]
4561
4562 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
4563 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
4564 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
4565 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
4566 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
4567 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
4568 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
4569 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
4570 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
4571 implementation.
4572 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
4573
4574 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
4575 implementation in the following ways:
4576
4577 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
4578 hard coded.
4579
4580 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
4581 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
4582 ignored for embedded content.
4583
4584 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
4585 with the enable-cms configuration option.
4586 [Steve Henson]
4587
4588 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
4589 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
4590 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
4591 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
4592
4593 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
4594 uncompresses any data passed through it.
4595 [Steve Henson]
4596
4597 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
4598 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
4599 [Steve Henson]
4600
4601 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
4602 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
4603 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
4604 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
4605 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
4606 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
4607 data.
4608 [Steve Henson]
4609
4610 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
4611 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
4612 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4613
4614 *) Netware support:
4615
4616 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
4617 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
4618 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
4619 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
4620 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
4621 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
4622 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
4623 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
4624 platform
4625 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
4626 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
4627 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
4628 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
4629 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
4630 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
4631 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
4632
4633 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
4634 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
4635 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
4636 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
4637 to s_client and s_server.
4638 [Steve Henson]
4639
4640 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
4641
4642 *) Fix various bugs:
4643 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
4644 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
4645 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
4646 + Fix ia64 assembler code
4647 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
4648
4649 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
4650
4651 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
4652 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
4653 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
4654 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
4655 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
4656 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
4657 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
4658 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
4659 [Andy Polyakov]
4660
4661 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
4662 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
4663 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
4664 Steve Henson]
4665
4666 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4667 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4668 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4669 supported.
4670
4671 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4672 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4673 SSL_SESSION.
4674
4675 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4676 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4677 with no application modification.
4678
4679 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4680 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4681
4682 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4683 or server extensions to be examined.
4684
4685 This work was sponsored by Google.
4686 [Steve Henson]
4687
4688 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4689 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4690 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4691 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4692 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4693 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4694 server_name extension.
4695
4696 New functions (subject to change):
4697
4698 SSL_get_servername()
4699 SSL_get_servername_type()
4700 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4701
4702 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4703
4704 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4705 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4706 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4707 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4708 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4709
4710 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4711
4712 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4713 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4714 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4715 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4716 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4717 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4718 option.
4719
4720 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
4721
4722 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
4723 [Steve Henson]
4724
4725 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
4726 [Andy Polyakov]
4727
4728 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
4729 (which previously caused an internal error).
4730 [Bodo Moeller]
4731
4732 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
4733 [Ben Laurie]
4734
4735 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
4736 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
4737
4738 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
4739 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
4740 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
4741
4742 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
4743 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
4744 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
4745 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
4746
4747 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4748 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4749 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
4750 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
4751
4752 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
4753 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
4754 information. For detailed background information, see
4755 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
4756 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
4757 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
4758 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
4759 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
4760 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
4761 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
4762 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
4763 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
4764 remove a conditional branch.
4765
4766 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
4767 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
4768 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
4769 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
4770 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
4771 remains as a deprecated alias.
4772
4773 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
4774 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
4775 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
4776 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
4777
4778 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
4779 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
4780 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
4781 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
4782 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
4783 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
4784 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
4785 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
4786
4787 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
4788
4789 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
4790 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
4791 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
4792 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
4793 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
4794 with applications using a single external cache for quite
4795 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
4796 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
4797 in a different context.
4798 [Bodo Moeller]
4799
4800 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4801 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4802 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4803 [Bodo Moeller]
4804
4805 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
4806 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
4807 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
4808
4809 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
4810
4811 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
4812 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
4813 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4814 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
4815 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
4816 [Victor Duchovni]
4817
4818 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
4819 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
4820 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
4821 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
4822 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
4823 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
4824 [Bodo Moeller]
4825
4826 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4827 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4828 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4829 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4830 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4831 [Bodo Moeller]
4832
4833 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
4834 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
4835
4836 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4837 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4838 Improve header file function name parsing.
4839 [Steve Henson]
4840
4841 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
4842 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
4843 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
4844
4845 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
4846
4847 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4848 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4849 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4850
4851 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4852 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4853
4854 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4855 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4856
4857 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4858 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4859 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4860
4861 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
4862 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
4863 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
4864 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
4865 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
4866 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
4867 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
4868 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
4869 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
4870
4871 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
4872 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
4873 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
4874 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
4875 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
4876
4877 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
4878 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
4879 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
4880 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
4881 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
4882 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
4883 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
4884 multiple values to extend the available space.
4885
4886 [Bodo Moeller]
4887
4888 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
4889
4890 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4891 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4892
4893 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
4894 [Ben Laurie]
4895
4896 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4897 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4898 undesirable limitations.
4899 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4900
4901 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
4902 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
4903 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
4904 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
4905 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
4906 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
4907 to avoid potential handshake problems.
4908 [Bodo Moeller]

4910 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4911
4912 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4913 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4914 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4915
4916 The latter two were purportedly from
4917 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4918 appear there.
4919
4920 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
4921 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4922 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4923 [Bodo Moeller]
4924
4925 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
4926 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4927 [Bodo Moeller]
4928
4929 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
4930 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
4931 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
4932 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
4933
4934 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4935 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4936 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
4937 [NTT]
4938
4939 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
4940 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
4941 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
4942 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
4943 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
4944 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
4945 [Steve Henson]
4946
4947 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
4948
4949 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
4950 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
4951 [Steve Henson]
4952
4953 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
4954 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
4955
4956 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4957 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
4958 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
4959 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
4960 [Douglas Stebila]
4961
4962 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
4963 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
4964 [Steve Henson]
4965
4966 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
4967 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
4968 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
4969 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
4970 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
4971 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
4972 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
4973 can't be loaded.
4974 [Steve Henson]
4975
4976 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
4977 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
4978 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
4979 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
4980 [Steve Henson]
4981
4982 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
4983 under VC++ build system.
4984 [Steve Henson]
4985
4986 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
4987 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
4988 [Richard Levitte]
4989
4990 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
4991
4992 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4993 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4994 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4995 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4996 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4997
4998 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4999 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5000 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5001
5002 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
5003 [Steve Henson]
5004
5005 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
5006 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5007 [Nils Larsch]
5008
5009 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
5010 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
5011
5012 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
5013 [Nick Mathewson]
5014
5015 *) Extended Windows CE support.
5016 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
5017
5018 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
5019 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5020 [Steve Henson]
5021
5022 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
5023 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
5024 smime utility.
5025 [Steve Henson]
5026
5027 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
5028
5029 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5030 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5031
5032 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
5033 [Richard Levitte]
5034
5035 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
5036 key into the same file any more.
5037 [Richard Levitte]
5038
5039 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
5040 [Andy Polyakov]
5041
5042 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
5043 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
5044
5045 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
5046 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
5047 [Richard Levitte]
5048
5049 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
5050 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
5051 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
5052 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
5053 this only applies when building 'shared'.
5054 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
5055
5056 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
5057 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
5058 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
5059 [Steve Henson]
5060
5061 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
5062 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
5063 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
5064 - add new function for parameter creation
5065 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
5066 BN_BLINDING parameters
5067 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
5068 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
5069 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
5070 threads.
5071 [Nils Larsch]
5072
5073 *) Add support for DTLS.
5074 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
5075
5076 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
5077 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
5078 [Walter Goulet]
5079
5080 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
5081 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
5082 [Nils Larsch]
5083
5084 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
5085 the apps/openssl applications.
5086 [Nils Larsch]
5087
5088 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
5089 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
5090 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
5091 [Ben Laurie]
5092
5093 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
5094 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
5095
5096 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
5097 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
5098
5099 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
5100 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
5101 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
5102 avoid this algorithm.)
5103
5104 [Bodo Moeller]
5105
5106 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
5107 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
5108 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
5109 [Richard Levitte]
5110
5111 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
5112 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
5113 [Andy Polyakov]
5114
5115 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
5116 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
5117 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
5118 pod file:
5119
5120 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
5121
5122 The blank line is mandatory.
5123
5124 [Steve Henson]
5125
5126 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
5127 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
5128 sources.
5129 [Steve Henson]
5130
5131 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
5132 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
5133
5134 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
5135 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
5136 to support policy checking and print out.
5137 [Steve Henson]
5138
5139 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
5140 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
5141 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
5142 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
5143
5144 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
5145 [Geoff Thorpe]
5146
5147 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
5148 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
5149
5150 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
5151 implementation contributed by IBM.
5152 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
5153
5154 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
5155 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
5156 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
5157 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
5158
5159 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
5160 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
5161
5162 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
5163 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
5164 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
5165 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
5166 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
5167 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
5168 [Steve Henson]
5169
5170 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
5171 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
5172 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
5173 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
5174 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
5175 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
5176 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
5177 [Geoff Thorpe]
5178
5179 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
5180 [Steve Henson]
5181
5182 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
5183 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
5184 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
5185 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
5186 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
5187 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
5188 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
5189 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
5190 [Steve Henson]
5191
5192 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
5193 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
5194 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
5195 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
5196 [Steve Henson]
5197
5198 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
5199 syntax:
5200
5201 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
5202 [Steve Henson]
5203
5204 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
5205 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
5206 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
5207 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
5208 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
5209 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
5210 BN_CTX's "bundling".
5211 [Geoff Thorpe]
5212
5213 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
5214 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
5215 [Geoff Thorpe]
5216
5217 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
5218 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
5219 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
5220 [Steve Henson]
5221
5222 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
5223 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
5224 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
5225 below).
5226 [Geoff Thorpe]
5227
5228 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
5229 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
5230 [Richard Levitte]
5231
5232 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
5233 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
5234 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
5235 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
5236 [Geoff Thorpe]
5237
5238 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
5239 initialised value as BN_new().
5240 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
5241
5242 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
5243 [Steve Henson]
5244
5245 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
5246 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
5247 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
5248 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
5249 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
5250 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
5251 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
5252 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
5253 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
5254 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
5255 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
5256 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
5257 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
5258 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
5259 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
5260
5261 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
5262 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
5263 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
5264 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
5265 [Geoff Thorpe]
5266
5267 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
5268 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
5269 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
5270 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
5271 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
5272 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
5273 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
5274 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
5275 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
5276 [Geoff Thorpe]
5277
5278 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
5279 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
5280 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
5281 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
5282 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
5283 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
5284 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
5285 [Geoff Thorpe]
5286
5287 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
5288 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
5289 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
5290 these have been updated also.
5291 [Geoff Thorpe]
5292
5293 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
5294 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
5295 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
5296 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
5297 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
5298 functions.
5299 [Steve Henson]
5300
5301 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
5302 structure of type "other".
5303 [Steve Henson]
5304
5305 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
5306 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
5307 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
5308 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
5309 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
5310 situation in the script.
5311 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5312
5313 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5314 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
5315 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
5316 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
5317 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
5318 used as premaster secret.
5319 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5320
5321 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
5322 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
5323 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5324
5325 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
5326 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
5327
5328 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
5329 control of the error stack.
5330 [Richard Levitte]
5331
5332 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
5333 [Richard Levitte]
5334
5335 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
5336 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
5337 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
5338 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
5339 [Richard Levitte]
5340
5341 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
5342 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
5343 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
5344 [Richard Levitte]
5345
5346 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
5347 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
5348 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
5349 a memory area.
5350 [Richard Levitte]
5351
5352 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
5353 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
5354 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
5355 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
5356 [Richard Levitte]
5357
5358 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
5359 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
5360 the following flags are defined:
5361
5362 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
5363 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5364 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
5365 number.
5366
5367 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
5368 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5369 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
5370 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
5371 returns zero.
5372 [Richard Levitte]
5373
5374 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
5375 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
5376 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
5377 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
5378 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
5379 [Richard Levitte]
5380
5381 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
5382 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
5383 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
5384 [Richard Levitte]
5385
5386 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5387 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5388 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5389 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5390 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5391 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5392 [Richard Levitte]
5393
5394 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
5395 req and dirName.
5396 [Steve Henson]
5397
5398 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
5399 [Steve Henson]
5400
5401 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
5402 [Steve Henson]
5403
5404 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
5405 [Steve Henson]
5406
5407 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
5408 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
5409 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
5410 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
5411 default implementation more easily.
5412 [Geoff Thorpe]
5413
5414 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
5415 in config files.
5416 [Steve Henson]
5417
5418 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
5419 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
5420 [Richard Levitte]
5421
5422 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
5423 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
5424 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
5425 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
5426
5427 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
5428 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
5429 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
5430 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
5431 [Steve Henson]
5432
5433 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
5434 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
5435 to do it.
5436 [Richard Levitte]
5437
5438 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
5439 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
5440 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
5441 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
5442 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
5443 scalar * generator).
5444 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
5445
5446 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
5447 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
5448 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
5449 correctly.
5450 [Steve Henson]
5451
5452 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
5453 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
5454 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
5455 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
5456 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
5457 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
5458 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
5459 linker additions, eg;
5460 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
5461 [Geoff Thorpe]
5462
5463 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
5464 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
5465 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
5466 [Geoff Thorpe]
5467
5468 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5469 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5470 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
5471 via PR#459)
5472 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5473
5474 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
5475 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
5476 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
5477 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
5478 [Geoff Thorpe]
5479
5480 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
5481 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
5482 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
5483 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
5484 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
5485 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
5486 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
5487 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
5488 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
5489 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
5490
5491 Example for using the new callback interface:
5492
5493 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
5494 void *my_arg = ...;
5495 BN_GENCB my_cb;
5496
5497 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
5498
5499 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
5500 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
5501 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
5502 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
5503 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
5504 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
5505 */
5506
5507 [Geoff Thorpe]
5508
5509 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
5510 available to TLS with the number defined in
5511 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
5512 [Richard Levitte]
5513
5514 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
5515 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
5516
5517 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
5518 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5519 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5520 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
5521
5522 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
5523 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
5524
5525 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
5526 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
5527 well.
5528 [Richard Levitte]
5529
5530 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
5531 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
5532 [Richard Levitte]
5533
5534 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
5535 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
5536 and a macro that behave like
5537 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
5538
5539 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
5540 [Nils Larsch]
5541
5542 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
5543 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
5544 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
5545 if applicable.
5546 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5547
5548 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
5549 [Bodo Moeller]
5550
5551 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
5552 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
5553 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
5554 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
5555 directory engines/.
5556 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
5557 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
5558 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
5559 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
5560 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
5561 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
5562 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
5563 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
5564
5565 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
5566 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
5567 [Richard Levitte]
5568
5569 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
5570 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
5571
5572 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
5573 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
5574 files while avoiding the low level API.
5575
5576 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
5577 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
5578 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
5579 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
5580
5581 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
5582 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
5583 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
5584 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
5585 instead of the low level API.
5586 [Steve Henson]
5587
5588 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
5589 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
5590 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
5591 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
5592 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
5593 PKCS#7 code.
5594
5595 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
5596 down to the template encoder.
5597 [Steve Henson]
5598
5599 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
5600 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
5601 [Bodo Moeller]
5602
5603 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
5604 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
5605 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
5606 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5607
5608 *) Add ECDH engine support.
5609 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5610
5611 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
5612 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5613
5614 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
5615 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
5616 [Bodo Moeller]
5617
5618 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
5619 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
5620 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
5621 [Bodo Moeller]
5622
5623 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
5624 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
5625
5626 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5627 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5628
5629 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
5630 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
5631 New EC_METHOD:
5632
5633 EC_GF2m_simple_method
5634
5635 New API functions:
5636
5637 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
5638 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
5639 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
5640 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5641 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5642 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
5643
5644 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
5645 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
5646 enable it).
5647
5648 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
5649 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
5650 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
5651 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
5652 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
5653 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
5654 various internal method names.)
5655
5656 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
5657 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
5658
5659 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5660 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5661
5662 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
5663 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
5664
5665 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
5666 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
5667 methods are undefined.
5668
5669 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5670 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5671
5672 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
5673 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
5674 length of the modulus.
5675
5676 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5677 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5678
5679 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
5680 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
5681
5682 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5683 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5684
5685 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
5686 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
5687 used) in the following functions [macros]:
5688
5689 BN_GF2m_add
5690 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
5691 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
5692 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
5693 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
5694 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
5695 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
5696 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
5697 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
5698 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
5699
5700 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
5701 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
5702
5703 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
5704 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
5705 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
5706 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
5707 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
5708 where
5709 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
5710 This applies to the following functions:
5711
5712 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
5713 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
5714 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
5715 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
5716 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
5717 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
5718 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
5719 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
5720 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5721 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5722
5723 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
5724
5725 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5726 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5727
5728 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
5729
5730 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
5731 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
5732 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
5733 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
5734 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
5735
5736 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5737 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5738
5739 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
5740 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
5741 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
5742
5743 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
5744 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
5745
5746 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
5747 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
5748 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
5749 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
5750 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5751
5752 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
5753 functions
5754 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
5755 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
5756 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
5757 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
5758 These control ASN1 encoding details:
5759 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
5760 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
5761 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
5762 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
5763 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
5764 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
5765 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
5766
5767 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
5768 functions
5769 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
5770 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
5771 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
5772 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
5773 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5774
5775 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
5776 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
5777 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
5778 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5779
5780 *) Add functions
5781 EC_POINT_point2bn()
5782 EC_POINT_bn2point()
5783 EC_POINT_point2hex()
5784 EC_POINT_hex2point()
5785 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
5786 EC_POINT_oct2point().
5787 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5788
5789 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
5790 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
5791 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
5792 EC_GROUP_get_order()
5793 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
5794 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
5795 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
5796 adding different types of curves.
5797 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
5798
5799 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
5800 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
5801 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
5802 [Bodo Moeller]
5803
5804 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
5805 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
5806
5807 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
5808 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
5809 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
5810 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5811
5812 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
5813
5814 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
5815 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
5816
5817 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
5818 library. Most notably,
5819 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
5820 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
5821 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
5822 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
5823 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
5824 extracted before the specific public key;
5825 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
5826 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5827
5828 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
5829 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
5830 function
5831 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
5832 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
5833 EC_get_builtin_curves().
5834 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
5835 accessed via
5836 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
5837 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
5838 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
5839
5840 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5841 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5842 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5843 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5844 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5845 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5846 differing sizes.
5847 [Richard Levitte]
5848
5849 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
5850
5851 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
5852 sensitive data.
5853 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
5854
5855 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5856 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5857 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5858 [Bodo Moeller]
5859
5860 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
5861 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5862 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
5863 [Victor Duchovni]
5864
5865 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
5866 [Steve Henson]
5867
5868 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
5869 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
5870 [Steve Henson]
5871
5872 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
5873 run algorithm test programs.
5874 [Steve Henson]
5875
5876 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
5877 [Steve Henson]
5878
5879 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5880 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5881 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5882 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5883 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5884 [Bodo Moeller]
5885
5886 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5887 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5888 [Steve Henson]
5889
5890 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
5891
5892 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5893 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5894 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5895
5896 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5897 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5898
5899 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5900 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5901
5902 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5903 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5904 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5905
5906 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
5907 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
5908 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
5909 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
5910 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
5911 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
5912 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
5913 [Bodo Moeller]
5914
5915 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
5916
5917 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5918 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5919
5920 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5921 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5922 undesirable limitations.
5923 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5924
5925 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5926
5927 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5928 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5929 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5930
5931 The latter two were purportedly from
5932 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5933 appear there.
5934
5935 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
5936 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5937 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5938 [Bodo Moeller]
5939
5940 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5941 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5942 [Bodo Moeller]
5943
5944 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
5945
5946 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
5947 module in FIPS mode.
5948 [Steve Henson]
5949
5950 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
5951 [Steve Henson]
5952
5953 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
5954 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
5955 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
5956 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
5957 [Steve Henson]
5958
5959 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
5960
5961 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
5962 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
5963 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
5964 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
5965 the difference induced by this change.
5966 [Andy Polyakov]
5967
5968 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
5969
5970 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5971 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5972 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5973 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5974 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5975
5976 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5977 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5978 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5979
5980 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
5981 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
5982 [Steve Henson]
5983
5984 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
5985 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
5986 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
5987 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
5988 biased k.)
5989 [Bodo Moeller]
5990
5991 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
5992 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
5993 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
5994 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
5995 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
5996
5997 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
5998 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
5999 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
6000 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
6001 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
6002 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
6003
6004 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
6005
6006 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
6007 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
6008 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
6009 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
6010 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
6011 [Bodo Moeller]
6012
6013 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
6014 clients need.
6015 [Steve Henson]
6016
6017 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
6018 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
6019 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
6020 [Steve Henson]
6021
6022 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
6023 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
6024 structures constant.
6025 [Steve Henson]
6026
6027 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
6028
6029 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
6030 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
6031
6032 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
6033 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
6034 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
6035 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
6036 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
6037 some needed definitions.
6038 [Steve Henson]
6039
6040 *) Undo Cygwin change.
6041 [Ulf Möller]
6042
6043 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
6044 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
6045 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
6046 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
6047 [Richard Levitte]
6048
6049 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
6050
6051 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
6052 server and client random values. Previously
6053 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
6054 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
6055
6056 This change has negligible security impact because:
6057
6058 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
6059 data.
6060
6061 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
6062 handshake.
6063
6064 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
6065 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
6066 values.
6067
6068 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
6069 to our attention.
6070
6071 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
6072
6073 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
6074 [Ulf Möller]
6075
6076 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
6077 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
6078 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
6079
6080 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
6081 [Steve Henson]
6082
6083 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
6084 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
6085 [Andy Polyakov]
6086
6087 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
6088 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
6089 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
6090
6091 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
6092 [Steve Henson]
6093
6094 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
6095 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
6096 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
6097 certificates.
6098 [Steve Henson]
6099
6100 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
6101 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
6102 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
6103 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
6104
6105 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
6106 has chosen to ignore this fault)
6107 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
6108 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
6109 been given)
6110 [Richard Levitte]
6111
6112 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
6113
6114 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
6115 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
6116 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
6117 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
6118 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
6119 [Steve Henson]
6120
6121 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
6122 [Steve Henson]
6123
6124 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
6125 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
6126
6127 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
6128 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
6129 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
6130 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
6131 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
6132 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
6133 rather than being initialized to 1.
6134 [Steve Henson]
6135
6136 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
6137
6138 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6139 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6140 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6141
6142 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
6143 (CVE-2004-0112)
6144 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6145
6146 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6147 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6148 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6149 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6150 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6151 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6152 [Richard Levitte]
6153
6154 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
6155 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
6156 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
6157 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
6158 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
6159 for these cases.
6160 [Steve Henson]
6161
6162 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
6163 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
6164 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
6165 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
6166 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
6167 [Steve Henson]
6168
6169 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
6170 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
6171 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
6172 < 0.9.7.
6173 [Steve Henson]
6174
6175 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
6176 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6177
6178 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
6179 [Steve Henson]
6180
6181 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
6182
6183 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6184
6185 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6186 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6187
6188 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
6189
6190 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6191 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6192
6193 [Steve Henson]
6194
6195 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
6196 exiting on the first error in a request.
6197 [Steve Henson]
6198
6199 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6200 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6201 specifications.
6202 [Steve Henson]
6203
6204 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6205 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6206 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6207 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6208
6209 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6210 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6211 [Richard Levitte]
6212
6213 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
6214 blocks during encryption.
6215 [Richard Levitte]
6216
6217 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
6218 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
6219 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
6220 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
6221 certain size.
6222 [Steve Henson]
6223
6224 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
6225 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
6226 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
6227 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
6228 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
6229 parser.
6230 [Steve Henson]
6231
6232 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
6233
6234 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6235 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6236 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6237 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6238 [Bodo Moeller]
6239
6240 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6241 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6242 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6243 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6244 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6245
6246 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6247 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6248 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6249 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6250 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6251 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6252 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6253 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6254 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6255 [Bodo Moeller]
6256
6257 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
6258 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
6259 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
6260 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
6261 [Geoff Thorpe]
6262
6263 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
6264 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
6265 [Ulf Moeller]
6266
6267 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
6268
6269 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6270 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
6271 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6272 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6273 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6274
6275 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6276 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6277 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6278
6279 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
6280 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
6281 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
6282 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
6283 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
6284
6285 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
6286 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
6287 used by default when no-err is given.
6288 [Richard Levitte]
6289
6290 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
6291 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
6292
6293 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
6294 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
6295 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
6296 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
6297 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
6298
6299 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
6300 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
6301 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
6302 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
6303
6304 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
6305
6306 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
6307
6308 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
6309
6310 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
6311 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
6312 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
6313 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
6314 root is omitted).
6315 [Steve Henson]
6316
6317 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
6318 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6319
6320 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
6321 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
6322 [Steve Henson]
6323
6324 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6325 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6326 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
6327 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
6328 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6329
6330 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
6331 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
6332 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
6333 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
6334 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
6335 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6336 followup to PR #377.
6337 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6338
6339 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
6340 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
6341 [Andy Polyakov]
6342
6343 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
6344 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
6345 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
6346 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
6347
6348 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
6349
6350 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
6351 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
6352
6353 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
6354 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
6355 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
6356 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
6357 client and server.
6358 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6359 PR #377.
6360 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6361
6362 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
6363 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
6364 removed entirely.
6365 [Richard Levitte]
6366
6367 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
6368 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
6369 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
6370 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
6371 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
6372 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
6373 of libcrypto.
6374 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
6375 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
6376 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
6377 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
6378 have to be made anyway).
6379 [Richard Levitte]
6380
6381 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
6382 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
6383 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
6384 [Steve Henson]
6385
6386 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
6387 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
6388 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
6389 [Richard Levitte]
6390
6391 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
6392 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
6393 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6394
6395 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
6396 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
6397 edit numbers of the version.
6398 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6399
6400 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
6401 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
6402 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
6403
6404 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
6405 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6406
6407 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6408 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6409 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6410
6411 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
6412 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6413
6414 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
6415 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6416
6417 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
6418 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6419
6420 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
6421 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6422
6423 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
6424 overflows.
6425 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6426
6427 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
6428 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
6429 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6430
6431 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
6432 representations in a platform independent manner.
6433 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6434
6435 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6436 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6437 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6438
6439 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
6440 indents.
6441 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6442
6443 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
6444 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6445
6446 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
6447 full. Fixed.
6448 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6449
6450 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
6451 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
6452 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6453
6454 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
6455 unconditionally).
6456 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6457
6458 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
6459 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6460
6461 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
6462 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6463
6464 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
6465 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6466
6467 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
6468 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6469
6470 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
6471 CBCParameter.
6472 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6473
6474 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
6475 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6476
6477 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
6478 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6479
6480 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
6481 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
6482 exploitable.
6483 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6484
6485 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
6486 the 0.9.6 release series:
6487
6488 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6489 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
6490 (CVE-2002-0657)
6491 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6492
6493 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
6494 [Richard Levitte]
6495
6496 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
6497 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
6498
6499 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
6500 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
6501
6502 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
6503 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
6504 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
6505 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
6506
6507 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
6508 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
6509 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
6510
6511 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
6512 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
6513 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
6514 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6515
6516 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
6517 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
6518 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
6519 some local tweaks:
6520
6521 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
6522 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
6523 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
6524 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6525 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6526 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
6527 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
6528 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
6529 done
6530
6531 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
6532 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
6533 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
6534 [Richard Levitte]
6535
6536 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
6537 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
6538 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
6539 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
6540 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
6541
6542 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
6543 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
6544
6545 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
6546 error in AES-CFB decryption.
6547 [Richard Levitte]
6548
6549 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
6550 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
6551 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
6552 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
6553 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
6554 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
6555 [Steve Henson]
6556
6557 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
6558 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
6559 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
6560 [Steve Henson]
6561
6562 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
6563 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
6564 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6565
6566 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
6567 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
6568 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
6569 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
6570 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
6571 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
6572 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
6573 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6574
6575 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
6576 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
6577 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
6578 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
6579 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
6580 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
6581 [Steve Henson]
6582
6583 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
6584 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
6585 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
6586 declaration has been changed from
6587 int (*cb)()
6588 into
6589 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
6590 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
6591 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
6592 has been changed into
6593 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
6594
6595 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
6596 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
6597 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
6598
6599 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
6600 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
6601
6602 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
6603 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
6604 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
6605 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
6606 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
6607 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
6608 always load it have also been added.
6609 [Steve Henson]
6610
6611 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
6612 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
6613 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6614
6615 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
6616
6617 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
6618 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
6619 because it couldn't be used for anything.
6620
6621 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
6622 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
6623 command line option can be used to specify an
6624 alternative file.
6625 [Steve Henson]
6626
6627 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
6628 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
6629 [Steve Henson]
6630
6631 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
6632 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
6633 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
6634 [Steve Henson]
6635
6636 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
6637 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6638 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
6639 to work with the new engine framework.
6640 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
6641
6642 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
6643 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6644 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
6645 to work with the new engine framework.
6646 [Richard Levitte]
6647
6648 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
6649 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
6650 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
6651
6652 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
6653 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
6654
6655 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
6656 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
6657 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
6658 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
6659 FORMAT_IISSGC.
6660 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6661
6662 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6663 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6664
6665 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
6666 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
6667
6668 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
6669 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
6670 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
6671 [Ben Laurie]
6672
6673 *) Add new functions
6674 ERR_peek_last_error
6675 ERR_peek_last_error_line
6676 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
6677 These are similar to
6678 ERR_peek_error
6679 ERR_peek_error_line
6680 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
6681 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
6682 still in the error queue.
6683 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
6684
6685 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
6686 like:
6687 default_algorithms = ALL
6688 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
6689 [Steve Henson]
6690
6691 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
6692 [Steve Henson]
6693
6694 *) New experimental application configuration code.
6695 [Steve Henson]
6696
6697 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
6698 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
6699 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
6700 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6701
6702 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
6703 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
6704
6705 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
6706 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6707
6708 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
6709 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
6710 [Bodo Moeller]
6711
6712 *) New functions/macros
6713
6714 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
6715 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
6716 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
6717 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
6718
6719 to request calling a callback function
6720
6721 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
6722 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
6723
6724 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
6725 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
6726 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
6727 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
6728 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
6729 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
6730 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
6731 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
6732 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
6733 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
6734
6735 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
6736 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
6737 [Bodo Moeller]
6738
6739 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
6740 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
6741 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
6742 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
6743 the configuration scripts.
6744
6745 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
6746 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
6747 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
6748
6749 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
6750 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6751
6752 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
6753 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
6754 when reusing an existing buffer.
6755 [Bodo Moeller]
6756
6757 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
6758 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
6759 [Steve Henson]
6760
6761 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
6762 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
6763 [Ben Laurie]
6764
6765 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
6766 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
6767 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
6768 has the same effect.
6769 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6770
6771 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
6772 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
6773 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
6774 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
6775 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
6776 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
6777 exception.
6778
6779 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
6780 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
6781 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
6782 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
6783
6784 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
6785 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
6786 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
6787 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
6788
6789 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
6790 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
6791 won't work.
6792
6793 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
6794 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
6795 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
6796 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
6797 default), and then completely removed.
6798 [Richard Levitte]
6799
6800 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
6801 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
6802 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
6803 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
6804 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
6805 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
6806 particular extension is supported.
6807 [Steve Henson]
6808
6809 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
6810 to retain compatibility with existing code.
6811 [Steve Henson]
6812
6813 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
6814 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
6815 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
6816 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
6817 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
6818 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
6819 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
6820 requires the destination to be valid.
6821
6822 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
6823 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
6824 [Steve Henson]
6825
6826 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
6827 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
6828 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
6829 [Bodo Moeller]
6830
6831 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
6832 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
6833
6834 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
6835 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
6836 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
6837 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
6838 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
6839 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
6840 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
6841 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
6842 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
6843 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
6844 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
6845 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
6846 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
6847 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
6848 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
6849 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
6850 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
6851 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
6852 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
6853 the new code.
6854 [Geoff Thorpe]
6855
6856 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
6857 [Steve Henson]
6858
6859 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
6860 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
6861 become part of libeay.num as well.
6862 [Richard Levitte]
6863
6864 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
6865 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
6866 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
6867 false once a handshake has been completed.
6868 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
6869 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
6870 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
6871 client has followed the request.)
6872 [Bodo Moeller]
6873
6874 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
6875 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
6876 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
6877 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
6878
6879 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
6880 more bits available for options that should not be part of
6881 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
6882 [Bodo Moeller]
6883
6884 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
6885 [Steve Henson]
6886
6887 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
6888 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
6889 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
6890 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6891
6892 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
6893 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6894 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6895
6896 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
6897 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
6898 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
6899 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
6900 [Geoff Thorpe]
6901
6902 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
6903 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
6904 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
6905 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
6906 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
6907 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
6908 [Geoff Thorpe]
6909
6910 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
6911 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
6912 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
6913 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
6914 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
6915 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
6916 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
6917 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
6918 [Geoff Thorpe]
6919
6920 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
6921 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
6922 [Geoff Thorpe]
6923
6924 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
6925 [Ben Laurie]
6926
6927 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
6928 md_data void pointer.
6929 [Ben Laurie]
6930
6931 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
6932 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
6933 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
6934 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
6935 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
6936 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
6937 [Ben Laurie]
6938
6939 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
6940 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
6941 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
6942 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
6943 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
6944 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
6945 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
6946 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
6947 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
6948 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
6949 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
6950 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
6951 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
6952 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
6953 rather than letting it slide.
6954
6955 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
6956 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
6957 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
6958 [Geoff Thorpe]
6959
6960 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
6961 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
6962 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
6963 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
6964 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
6965 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
6966 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
6967 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
6968 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
6969 [Geoff Thorpe]
6970
6971 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
6972 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
6973 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
6974 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
6975 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
6976
6977 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
6978 [Geoff Thorpe]
6979
6980 *) Add EVP test program.
6981 [Ben Laurie]
6982
6983 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
6984 [Ben Laurie]
6985
6986 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
6987 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
6988 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
6989 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
6990 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
6991 [Steve Henson]
6992
6993 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
6994 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
6995 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
6996 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
6997 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
6998 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
6999 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
7000
7001 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
7002 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
7003 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
7004 Usage example:
7005
7006 EVP_MD_CTX md;
7007
7008 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
7009 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
7010 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
7011 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
7012 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
7013
7014 [Ben Laurie]
7015
7016 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
7017 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
7018 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
7019 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
7020 anyway): E.g.,
7021
7022 des_key_schedule ks;
7023
7024 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
7025 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
7026
7027 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
7028 [Ben Laurie]
7029
7030 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
7031 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
7032 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
7033 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
7034 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
7035 functions prevents this.
7036 [Steve Henson]
7037
7038 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
7039 [Ben Laurie]
7040
7041 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
7042 correct _ecb suffix.
7043 [Ben Laurie]
7044
7045 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
7046 revocation information is handled using the text based index
7047 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
7048 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
7049 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
7050 [Steve Henson]
7051
7052 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
7053 [Richard Levitte]
7054
7055 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
7056 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
7057 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
7058 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
7059
7060 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
7061 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
7062
7063 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
7064 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7065 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
7066 via Richard Levitte]
7067
7068 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
7069 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
7070 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
7071 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
7072 [Geoff Thorpe]
7073
7074 *) Speed up EVP routines.
7075 Before:
7076 encrypt
7077 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
7078 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

7090 [Ben Laurie]
7091
7092 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
7093 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
7094
7095 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
7096 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
7097 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
7098 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
7099 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
7100 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
7101 [Steve Henson]
7102
7103 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
7104 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
7105 [Richard Levitte]
7106
7107 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
7108 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
7109 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
7110 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
7111
7112 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
7113 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
7114 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
7115 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
7116 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
7117 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
7118 callback.
7119 [Richard Levitte]
7120
7121 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
7122 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
7123 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
7124 and interrupts/cancellations.
7125 [Richard Levitte]
7126
7127 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
7128 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
7129 [Steve Henson]
7130
7131 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
7132 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
7133 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
7134
7135 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
7136 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
7137 kind of callback.
7138 [Richard Levitte]
7139
7140 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
7141 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
7142 than this minimum value is recommended.
7143 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7144
7145 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
7146 that are easily reachable.
7147 [Richard Levitte]
7148
7149 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
7150 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
7151
7152 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
7153
7154 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
7155 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
7156 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
7157 needed for static libraries under Win32.
7158 [Steve Henson]
7159
7160 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
7161 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
7162 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
7163 [Steve Henson]
7164
7165 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
7166 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
7167 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
7168 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
7169 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
7170 internally such as S/MIME.
7171
7172 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
7173 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
7174 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
7175
7176 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
7177 applications.
7178 [Steve Henson]
7179
7180 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
7181 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
7182 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
7183 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
7184
7185 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7186
7187 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
7188
7189 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
7190 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
7191 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
7192 handling.
7193 [Steve Henson]
7194
7195 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
7196 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
7197 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
7198 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
7199 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
7200 a window system and the like.
7201 [Richard Levitte]
7202
7203 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
7204 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
7205 [Geoff]
7206
7207 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
7208 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
7209 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
7210 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
7211 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
7212 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
7213 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
7214 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
7215 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
7216 ENGINE structure.
7217 [Geoff]
7218
7219 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
7220 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
7221 tag cache.
7222 [Steve Henson]
7223
7224 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
7225 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
7226 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
7227 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
7228 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
7229 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
7230 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
7231 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
7232 [Geoff]
7233
7234 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
7235 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
7236 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
7237 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
7238 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
7239 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
7240 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
7241 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
7242 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
7243 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
7244 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
7245 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
7246 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
7247 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
7248 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
7249 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
7250 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
7251 [Geoff]
7252
7253 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
7254 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
7255 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
7256 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
7257 internal engine_int.h header.
7258 [Geoff]
7259
7260 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
7261 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
7262 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
7263 modify their own ones).
7264 [Geoff]
7265
7266 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
7267 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
7268 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
7269 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
7270 later on via ctrl() commands.
7271 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
7272 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
7273 structural references.
7274 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
7275 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
7276 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
7277 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
7278 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
7279 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
7280 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
7281 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
7282 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
7283 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
7284 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
7285 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
7286 [Geoff]
7287
7288 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
7289 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
7290 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
7291 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
7292 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
7293 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
7294 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
7295 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
7296 [Bodo Moeller]
7297
7298 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
7299 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
7300 [Steve Henson]
7301
7302 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
7303 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
7304 [Steve Henson]
7305
7306 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
7307 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
7308 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
7309 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
7310 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
7311 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
7312 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
7313 [Steve Henson]
7314
7315 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
7316 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
7317 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
7318 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
7319 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
7320
7321 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
7322 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
7323 generator).
7324 [Bodo Moeller]
7325
7326 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
7327
7328 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
7329 operations and provides various method functions that can also
7330 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
7331
7332 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
7333 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
7334
7335 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
7336 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
7337 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
7338
7339 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
7340 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
7341
7342 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
7343 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
7344
7345 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
7346
7347 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
7348 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
7349 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
7350 [Bodo Moeller]
7351
7352 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
7353 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
7354 [Richard Levitte]
7355
7356 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
7357 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
7358 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
7359 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
7360 is 40 of more characters long.
7361 [Steve Henson]
7362
7363 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
7364 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
7365 pointers.
7366 [Steve Henson]
7367
7368 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
7369 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
7370 [Bodo Moeller]
7371
7372 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
7373 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
7374 might.
7375 [Steve Henson]
7376
7377 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
7378
7379 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
7380 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
7381
7382 ASN1 error codes
7383 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
7384 ...
7385 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
7386 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
7387 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
7388 ...
7389 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
7390 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
7391
7392 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
7393 [Bodo Moeller]
7394
7395 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
7396 suffices.
7397 [Bodo Moeller]
7398
7399 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
7400 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
7401 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
7402 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
7403 and
7404 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
7405
7406 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
7407 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
7408
7409 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
7410 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
7411 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
7412 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
7413 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
7414 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
7415
7416 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
7417 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
7418
7419 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
7420 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7421
7422 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
7423 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
7424
7425 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
7426 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
7427 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7428 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
7429
7430 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
7431 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
7432
7433 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
7434 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
7435
7436 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
7437 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
7438 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
7439 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
7440 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
7441 [Richard Levitte]
7442
7443 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
7444 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
7445 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
7446 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
7447 [Steve Henson]
7448
7449 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
7450 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
7451 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
7452 trust settings.
7453 [Steve Henson]
7454
7455 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
7456 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
7457 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
7458 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
7459 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
7460 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
7461 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
7462 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
7463 ocsp utility.
7464 [Steve Henson]
7465
7466 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
7467 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
7468 [Steve Henson]
7469
7470 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
7471 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
7472 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
7473 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
7474 [Steve Henson]
7475
7476 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
7477 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
7478 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
7479 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
7480 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
7481 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
7482 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
7483 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
7484 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
7485 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
7486 [Steve Henson]
7487
7488 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
7489 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
7490 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
7491 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
7492 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
7493 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
7494 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
7495 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7496
7497 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
7498 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
7499 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
7500 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
7501 [Richard Levitte]
7502
7503 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
7504 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
7505 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
7506 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
7507 opensslconf.h.
7508 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
7509 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
7510 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
7511 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
7512 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
7513 what is available.
7514 [Richard Levitte]
7515
7516 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
7517 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
7518 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
7519 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
7520 auto incremented.
7521 [Steve Henson]
7522
7523 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
7524 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
7525 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
7526 [Steve Henson]
7527
7528 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
7529 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
7530 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
7531 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
7532 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
7533 [Steve Henson]
7534
7535 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
7536 [Steve Henson]
7537
7538 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
7539 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
7540 option to ocsp utility.
7541 [Steve Henson]
7542
7543 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
7544 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
7545 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
7546 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
7547 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
7548 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
7549 the request is nonce-less.
7550 [Steve Henson]
7551
7552 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
7553 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
7554 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
7555 [Bodo Moeller]
7556
7557 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
7558 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
7559 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
7560 [Steve Henson]
7561
7562 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
7563 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
7564 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
7565 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
7566 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
7567 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7568
7569 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
7570 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
7571 appear to exist.
7572 [Steve Henson]
7573
7574 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
7575 additional certificates supplied.
7576 [Steve Henson]
7577
7578 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
7579 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
7580 signature against.
7581 [Richard Levitte]
7582
7583 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
7584 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
7585 AES OIDs.
7586
7587 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
7588 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
7589 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
7590 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
7591 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
7592 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
7593 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
7594 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
7595 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
7596
7597 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
7598 request to response.
7599 [Steve Henson]
7600
7601 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
7602 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
7603 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
7604 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
7605 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
7606 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
7607 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
7608 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
7609 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
7610 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
7611 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
7612 [Steve Henson]
7613
7614 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
7615 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
7616 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
7617 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
7618 [Steve Henson]
7619
7620 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
7621 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7622
7623 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
7624 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
7625 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
7626 [Steve Henson]
7627
7628 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
7629 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
7630 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
7631 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7632 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7633
7634 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
7635 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
7636 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
7637 [Steve Henson]
7638
7639 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
7640 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
7641 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
7642 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
7643 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
7644 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
7645 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7646 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7647
7648 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
7649 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
7650 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
7651 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
7652 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
7653 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
7654 [Steve Henson]
7655
7656 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
7657 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
7658 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
7659 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
7660 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
7661 printout format cleaned up.
7662 [Steve Henson]
7663
7664 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
7665 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
7666 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
7667 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
7668 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
7669 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
7670 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
7671 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
7672 [Steve Henson]
7673
7674 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
7675 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
7676 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
7677 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
7678 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
7679 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
7680 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
7681 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
7682 [Steve Henson]
7683
7684 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
7685 extensions from a separate configuration file.
7686 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
7687 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
7688 section to use.
7689 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7690
7691 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
7692 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
7693 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
7694 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
7695 [Steve Henson]
7696
7697 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
7698 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
7699 the given serial number (according to the index file).
7700 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
7701 in the index file.
7702 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7703
7704 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
7705 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
7706 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
7707 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7708
7709 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
7710 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
7711
7712 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
7713 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
7714 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
7715 [Steve Henson]
7716
7717 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
7718 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
7719 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
7720 [Bodo Moeller]
7721
7722 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
7723 file name and line number information in additional arguments
7724 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
7725 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
7726 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
7727 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
7728 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
7729 functions are provided:
7730
7731 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
7732 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
7733 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
7734 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
7735
7736 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
7737 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
7738 extended allocation function is enabled.
7739 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
7740 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
7741 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
7742
7743 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
7744 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
7745 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
7746 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
7747 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
7748 [Geoff Thorpe]
7749
7750 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
7751 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
7752 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
7753 be queried.
7754 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
7755 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
7756 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
7757 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7758
7759 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
7760 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
7761 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
7762 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
7763 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
7764 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
7765 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
7766 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
7767 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
7768 [Richard Levitte]
7769
7770 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
7771 provide utility functions which an application needing
7772 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
7773 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
7774 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
7775
7776 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
7777 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
7778 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
7779 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
7780 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
7781 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
7782 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
7783 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
7784 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
7785
7786 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
7787 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
7788 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
7789 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
7790 [Steve Henson]
7791
7792 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
7793 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
7794 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
7795 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
7796 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
7797 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
7798 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
7799 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
7800 will be added elsewhere.
7801 [Steve Henson]
7802
7803 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
7804 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
7805 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
7806 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
7807 [Steve Henson]
7808
7809 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
7810 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
7811 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
7812 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
7813 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
7814 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
7815 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
7816 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
7817 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
7818 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
7819 to produce the required SET OF.
7820 [Steve Henson]
7821
7822 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
7823 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
7824 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
7825 [Richard Levitte]
7826
7827 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
7828 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
7829 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
7830 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
7831 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
7832 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
7833 [Steve Henson]
7834
7835 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
7836 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
7837 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
7838 [Steve Henson]
7839
7840 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
7841 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
7842 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
7843 [Richard Levitte]
7844
7845 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
7846 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
7847 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
7848 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
7849 code will still work when these eventually go away.
7850 [Steve Henson]
7851
7852 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
7853 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
7854 [Steve Henson]
7855
7856 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
7857 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
7858 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
7859 certificates and CRLs.
7860 [Steve Henson]
7861
7862 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
7863 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
7864 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
7865 [Steve Henson]
7866
7867 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
7868 entries for variables.
7869 [Steve Henson]
7870
7871 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
7872 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
7873 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
7874 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
7875 [Bodo Moeller]
7876
7877 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
7878 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
7879 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
7880 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
7881 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
7882 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
7883 [Bodo Moeller]
7884
7885 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
7886 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
7887
7888 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
7889 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
7890 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
7891 [Steve Henson]
7892
7893 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
7894 print routines.
7895 [Steve Henson]
7896
7897 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
7898 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
7899 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
7900 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
7901 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
7902 order did not reflect the encoded order.
7903 [Steve Henson]
7904
7905 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
7906 [Steve Henson]
7907
7908 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
7909 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
7910 for now but they will eventually go away.
7911 [Steve Henson]
7912
7913 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
7914 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
7915 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
7916 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
7917 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
7918 has also been converted to the new form.
7919 [Steve Henson]
7920
7921 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
7922 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
7923 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
7924 for negative moduli.
7925 [Bodo Moeller]
7926
7927 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
7928 of not touching the result's sign bit.
7929 [Bodo Moeller]
7930
7931 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
7932 set.
7933 [Bodo Moeller]
7934
7935 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
7936 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
7937 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
7938 type-specific callbacks.
7939 [Geoff Thorpe]
7940
7941 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
7942 RFC 2712.
7943 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7944 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
7945
7946 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
7947 in sections depending on the subject.
7948 [Richard Levitte]
7949
7950 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
7951 Windows.
7952 [Richard Levitte]
7953
7954 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
7955 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
7956 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
7957 be handled deterministically).
7958 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7959
7960 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
7961 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
7962 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
7963 [Bodo Moeller]
7964
7965 *) New function BN_kronecker.
7966 [Bodo Moeller]
7967
7968 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
7969 positive unless both parameters are zero.
7970 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
7971 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
7972 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
7973 [Bodo Moeller]
7974
7975 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
7976 sign of the number in question.
7977
7978 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
7979
7980 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
7981 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
7982 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
7983 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
7984 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
7985 [Bodo Moeller]
7986
7987 *) New function BN_swap.
7988 [Bodo Moeller]
7989
7990 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
7991 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
7992 results on negative inputs.
7993 [Bodo Moeller]
7994
7995 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
7996 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
7997 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
7998 [Bodo Moeller]
7999
8000 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
8001 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
8002 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
8003 and add new functions:
8004
8005 BN_nnmod
8006 BN_mod_sqr
8007 BN_mod_add
8008 BN_mod_add_quick
8009 BN_mod_sub
8010 BN_mod_sub_quick
8011 BN_mod_lshift1
8012 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
8013 BN_mod_lshift
8014 BN_mod_lshift_quick
8015
8016 These functions always generate non-negative results.
8017
8018 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
8019 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
8020
8021 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
8022 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
8023 be reduced modulo m.
8024 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8025
8026 #if 0
8027 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
8028 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
8029 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
8030
8031 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
8032 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
8033 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
8034 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
8035 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
8036 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
8037 differing sizes.
8038 [Richard Levitte]
8039 #endif
8040
8041 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
8042 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
8043 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
8044 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
8045 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
8046
8047 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
8048 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
8049 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
8050 cause any problems.
8051 [Bodo Moeller]
8052
8053 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
8054 [Richard Levitte]
8055
8056 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
8057 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
8058 [Richard Levitte]
8059
8060 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
8061 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
8062 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
8063 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
8064 time)
8065 [Richard Levitte]
8066
8067 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
8068 [Richard Levitte]
8069
8070 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
8071 [Richard Levitte]
8072
8073 *) Add the following functions:
8074
8075 ENGINE_load_cswift()
8076 ENGINE_load_chil()
8077 ENGINE_load_atalla()
8078 ENGINE_load_nuron()
8079 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
8080
8081 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
8082 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
8083 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
8084 libraries unless it's really needed.
8085
8086 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
8087 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
8088 declarations (they differed!).
8089 [Richard Levitte]
8090
8091 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
8092 [Richard Levitte]
8093
8094 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
8095 [Richard Levitte]
8096
8097 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
8098 [Bodo Moeller]
8099
8100 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
8101 identity, and test if they are actually available.
8102 [Richard Levitte]
8103
8104 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
8105 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
8106 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8107
8108 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
8109 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
8110 [Richard Levitte]
8111
8112 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
8113 [Richard Levitte]
8114
8115 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
8116 [Richard Levitte]
8117
8118 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
8119 [Ben Laurie]
8120
8121 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
8122 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
8123 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
8124
8125 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
8126 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
8127 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
8128 different shared library filenames on each system.
8129 [Geoff Thorpe]
8130
8131 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
8132 [Richard Levitte]
8133
8134 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
8135 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
8136 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
8137 of two sections.
8138 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
8139
8140 *) NCONF changes.
8141 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
8142 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
8143 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
8144 binary backward compatibility.
8145 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
8146 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
8147 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
8148 LDAP server.
8149 [Richard Levitte]
8150
8151 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
8152 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
8153 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
8154 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
8155 this case.
8156 [Steve Henson]
8157
8158 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
8159 [Ben Laurie]
8160
8161 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
8162 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
8163 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
8164 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
8165 set.
8166 [Steve Henson]
8167
8168 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
8169 [Richard Levitte]
8170
8171 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
8172
8173 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
8174 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
8175 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
8176
8177 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
8178
8179 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
8180
8181 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
8182 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
8183 [Steve Henson]
8184
8185 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
8186
8187 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
8188
8189 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
8190 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
8191
8192 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
8193 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
8194
8195 [Steve Henson]
8196
8197 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
8198 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
8199 specifications.
8200 [Steve Henson]
8201
8202 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
8203 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
8204 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
8205 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
8206
8207 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
8208 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
8209 [Richard Levitte]
8210
8211 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
8212
8213 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
8214 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
8215 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
8216 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
8217 [Bodo Moeller]
8218
8219 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
8220 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
8221 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
8222 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
8223 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8224
8225 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
8226 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
8227 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
8228 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
8229 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
8230 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
8231 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
8232 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
8233 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
8234 [Bodo Moeller]
8235
8236 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
8237
8238 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
8239 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
8240 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
8241 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
8242 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
8243
8244 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
8245 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
8246 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
8247
8248 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
8249
8250 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
8251 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
8252 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
8253 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
8254 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
8255 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
8256 [Geoff Thorpe]
8257
8258 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
8259 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
8260 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
8261 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
8262 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
8263 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8264
8265 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
8266 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
8267 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
8268
8269 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
8270 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
8271 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
8272 EVP_cleanup().
8273 [Richard Levitte]
8274
8275 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
8276 being properly terminated.
8277 [Richard Levitte]
8278
8279 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
8280 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
8281 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
8282 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
8283
8284 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
8285 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
8286 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
8287 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
8288 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
8289 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
8290 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
8291 change.
8292 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
8293
8294 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
8295 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
8296 [Bodo Moeller]
8297
8298 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
8299 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
8300 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
8301 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
8302 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
8303 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
8304 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
8305 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
8306
8307 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
8308 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
8309 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
8310 (see [openssl.org #212]).
8311 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8312
8313 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
8314 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
8315 [Steve Henson]
8316
8317 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
8318
8319 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
8320 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
8321 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
8322
8323 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
8324
8325 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
8326 and get fix the header length calculation.
8327 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
8328 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
8329 Steve Henson]
8330
8331 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
8332 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
8333 assertions could call abort()).
8334 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
8335
8336 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
8337
8338 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8339 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8340 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8341 supplied buffer.
8342 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8343
8344 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
8345 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
8346 by the selection routines (PR #130).
8347 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8348
8349 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
8350 [Nils Larsch]
8351
8352 *) New option
8353 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
8354 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
8355 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
8356
8357 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
8358 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
8359 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
8360 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
8361 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
8362 applications.
8363 [Bodo Moeller]
8364
8365 *) Changes in security patch:
8366
8367 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
8368 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
8369 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
8370 F30602-01-2-0537.
8371
8372 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8373 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8374 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8375 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
8376 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8377
8378 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
8379 happen in practice.
8380 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8381
8382 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
8383 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
8384 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
8385
8386 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
8387 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
8388 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8389
8390 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
8391 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
8392 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8393
8394 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
8395
8396 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
8397 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
8398 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
8399
8400 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
8401 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
8402
8403 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
8404 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
8405 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
8406 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
8407 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
8408 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
8409 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8410
8411 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
8412 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
8413 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
8414 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
8415 [Bodo Moeller]
8416
8417 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
8418 [Bodo Moeller]
8419
8420 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
8421 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
8422 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
8423 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
8424 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
8425 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8426
8427 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
8428 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
8429 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
8430 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
8431 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
8432 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8433
8434 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
8435 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
8436 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
8437 BN_generate_prime().)
8438
8439 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
8440 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
8441 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
8442 better.
8443 [Bodo Moeller]
8444
8445 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
8446 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
8447 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8448
8449 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
8450 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
8451 when using non-blocking I/O.
8452 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
8453
8454 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
8455 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
8456
8457 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
8458 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
8459 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8460
8461 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
8462 configuration for the versions before that.
8463 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
8464
8465 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
8466 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
8467 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
8468 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
8469 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8470
8471 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
8472 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
8473 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
8474 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8475
8476 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
8477 value is 0.
8478 [Richard Levitte]
8479
8480 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
8481 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
8482 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
8483
8484 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
8485 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
8486
8487 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
8488 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
8489 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
8490 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
8491 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
8492 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
8493 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
8494 session cache.
8495
8496 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
8497 using a local variable.
8498 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
8499
8500 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
8501 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
8502 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8503
8504 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
8505 [Richard Levitte]
8506
8507 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
8508 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
8509
8510 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
8511 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
8512 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
8513
8514 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
8515
8516 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
8517 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
8518 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
8519 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
8520 [Bodo Moeller]
8521
8522 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
8523 present.
8524 [Steve Henson]
8525
8526 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
8527 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
8528 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
8529 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
8530 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
8531
8532 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
8533 returns early because it has nothing to do.
8534 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8535
8536 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8537 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
8538 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8539
8540 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8541 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
8542 (Use engine 'keyclient')
8543 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
8544
8545 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
8546 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
8547 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
8548 modules).
8549 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
8550
8551 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8552 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
8553 from 0.9.7.
8554 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
8555
8556 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8557 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
8558 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
8559 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
8560
8561 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8562 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
8563 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
8564 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
8565
8566 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
8567 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
8568
8569 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
8570 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
8571 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
8572 [Bodo Moeller]
8573
8574 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
8575 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
8576 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
8577 become invalid.
8578 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
8579
8580 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
8581 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
8582 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
8583 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
8584 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
8585 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
8586 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
8587 [Bodo Moeller]
8588
8589 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
8590 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
8591 one of the SSL handshake functions.
8592 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
8593
8594 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
8595 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
8596 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
8597 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
8598 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
8599 the client will at least see that alert.
8600 [Bodo Moeller]
8601
8602 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
8603 correctly.
8604 [Bodo Moeller]
8605
8606 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
8607 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
8608 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8609
8610 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
8611 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
8612 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
8613 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
8614 HelloRequest.
8615
8616 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
8617 before just sending a HelloRequest.
8618 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
8619
8620 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
8621 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
8622 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
8623 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
8624 may leak via logfiles.)
8625
8626 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
8627 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
8628 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
8629 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
8630 the legal range.
8631 [Bodo Moeller]
8632
8633 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
8634 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
8635 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8636
8637 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
8638 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
8639 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
8640 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
8641 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
8642 [Bodo Moeller]
8643
8644 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
8645 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
8646
8647 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
8648 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
8649 followed by modular reduction.
8650 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
8651
8652 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
8653 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
8654 [Bodo Moeller]
8655
8656 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
8657 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
8658 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
8659 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
8660 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8661
8662 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
8663 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8664
8665 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
8666 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
8667 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8668
8669 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
8670 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
8671 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
8672 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
8673 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
8674 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
8675 automatically.
8676 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
8677
8678 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
8679 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
8680 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
8681 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
8682 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
8683
8684 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
8685 [Andy Polyakov]
8686
8687 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
8688 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
8689 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
8690 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
8691 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
8692 to allow the necessary settings.
8693 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8694
8695 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
8696 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
8697 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
8698 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
8699 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8700
8701 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
8702 dh->length and always used
8703
8704 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
8705
8706 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
8707 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
8708 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
8709 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
8710 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
8711 dh->length.
8712
8713 So switch back to
8714
8715 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
8716
8717 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
8718 otherwise.
8719 [Bodo Moeller]
8720
8721 *) In
8722
8723 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
8724 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
8725 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
8726 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
8727
8728 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
8729 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
8730 always reject numbers >= n.
8731 [Bodo Moeller]
8732
8733 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
8734 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
8735 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
8736 variable) is not atomic.
8737 [Bodo Moeller]
8738
8739 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
8740 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
8741 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
8742 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
8743
8744 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
8745 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
8746
8747 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
8748 little-endian MIPS.
8749 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
8750
8751 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
8752 [Richard Levitte]
8753
8754 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
8755
8756 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
8757 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
8758 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
8759 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
8760 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
8761 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
8762 to traverse all of 'state'.
8763
8764 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
8765 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
8766 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
8767
8768 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
8769 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
8770
8771 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
8772 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
8773 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
8774 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
8775 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
8776 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
8777 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
8778 further strengthens the PRNG.
8779 [Bodo Moeller]
8780
8781 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
8782 [Andy Polyakov]
8783
8784 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
8785 an error message in this case.
8786 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8787
8788 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
8789 [Steve Henson]
8790
8791 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
8792 positive and less than q.
8793 [Bodo Moeller]
8794
8795 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
8796 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
8797 that itself.
8798 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
8799
8800 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
8801 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
8802 [Bodo Moeller]
8803
8804 *) Fix OAEP check.
8805 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8806
8807 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
8808 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
8809 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
8810 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
8811 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
8812 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
8813 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
8814 paper.)
8815
8816 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
8817 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
8818 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
8819 detect the supposedly ignored error.
8820
8821 Both problems are now fixed.
8822 [Bodo Moeller]
8823
8824 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
8825 (previously it was 1024).
8826 [Bodo Moeller]
8827
8828 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
8829 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
8830 [Steve Henson]
8831
8832 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
8833 [Steve Henson]
8834
8835 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
8836 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
8837 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
8838 [Steve Henson]
8839
8840 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
8841 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
8842 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
8843 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
8844 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
8845 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
8846 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
8847 environment variables.
8848
8849 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
8850 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
8851 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
8852 [Bodo Moeller]
8853
8854 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
8855 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
8856 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
8857 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
8858 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
8859 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
8860 [Bodo Moeller]
8861
8862 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
8863 versions of 'test'.
8864 [Bodo Moeller]
8865
8866 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
8867
8868 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
8869 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
8870
8871 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
8872 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
8873 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
8874 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
8875 CygWin.
8876 [Richard Levitte]
8877
8878 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
8879 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
8880 amount of data available.
8881 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
8882 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8883
8884 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
8885 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
8886 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
8887 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
8888 [Bodo Moeller]
8889
8890 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
8891 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
8892 and UnixWare.
8893 [Richard Levitte]
8894
8895 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
8896 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
8897 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
8898 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
8899 [Ulf Moeller]
8900
8901 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
8902 [Andy Polyakov]
8903
8904 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
8905 [Richard Levitte]
8906
8907 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
8908 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
8909 [Steve Henson]
8910 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8911
8912 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
8913 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
8914 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
8915 (but broken) behaviour.
8916 [Steve Henson]
8917
8918 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
8919 it when found.
8920 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
8921
8922 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
8923 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
8924 [Bodo Moeller]
8925
8926 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
8927 did not exist.
8928 [Bodo Moeller]
8929
8930 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
8931 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
8932
8933 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
8934 [Richard Levitte]
8935
8936 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
8937 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
8938 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
8939
8940 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
8941 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
8942 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
8943 [Steve Henson]
8944
8945 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
8946 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
8947 [Ulf Moeller]
8948
8949 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
8950 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
8951
8952 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
8953
8954 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
8955
8956 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
8957 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
8958 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
8959 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
8960 [Bodo Moeller]
8961
8962 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
8963 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8964
8965 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
8966 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
8967 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8968
8969 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
8970 was empty.
8971 [Steve Henson]
8972 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8973
8974 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
8975 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
8976 but the code is actually correct.
8977 [Steve Henson]
8978
8979 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
8980 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
8981 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
8982 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
8983 and leaves the highest bit random.
8984 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8985
8986 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
8987 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
8988 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
8989 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
8990 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
8991 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
8992 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
8993 [Bodo Moeller]
8994
8995 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
8996 [Ulf Moeller]
8997
8998 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
8999 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
9000 [Steve Henson]
9001
9002 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
9003 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
9004 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
9005 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
9006 headers.
9007 [Richard Levitte]
9008
9009 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
9010 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
9011 and break the signature.
9012 [Steve Henson]
9013 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9014
9015 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
9016 DH ciphersuites.
9017 [Steve Henson]
9018
9019 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
9020 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
9021 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
9022 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
9023 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
9024 [Bodo Moeller]
9025
9026 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
9027 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9028
9029 *) ./config script fixes.
9030 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
9031
9032 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
9033 [Bodo Moeller]
9034
9035 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
9036 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
9037 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
9038 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
9039 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
9040
9041 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
9042 call failed, free the DSA structure.
9043 [Bodo Moeller]
9044
9045 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
9046 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
9047 [Steve Henson]
9048
9049 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
9050 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
9051 when writing a 32767 byte record.
9052 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
9053
9054 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
9055 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
9056
9057 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
9058 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
9059 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
9060 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
9061 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
9062
9063 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
9064 [Bodo Moeller]
9065
9066 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
9067 [Ulf Möller]
9068
9069 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
9070 [Ulf Möller]
9071
9072 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
9073 [Bodo Moeller]
9074
9075 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
9076 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
9077 [Bodo Moeller]
9078
9079 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
9080 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
9081 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
9082 result of the server certificate verification.)
9083 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9084
9085 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
9086 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
9087 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
9088 [Bodo Moeller]
9089
9090 *) Fix SSL_peek:
9091 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
9092 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
9093 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
9094 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
9095 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
9096 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
9097 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
9098 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
9099 [Bodo Moeller]
9100
9101 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
9102 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
9103 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
9104 happening the other way round.
9105 [Geoff Thorpe]
9106
9107 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
9108 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
9109 [Bodo Moeller]
9110
9111 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
9112 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
9113 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
9114 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
9115 [Richard Levitte]
9116
9117 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
9118 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
9119
9120 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
9121
9122 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
9123 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
9124 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
9125 that.
9126
9127 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
9128
9129 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
9130
9131 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
9132 static ones.
9133 [Richard Levitte]
9134
9135 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
9136
9137 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
9138 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
9139 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
9140 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
9141 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
9142
9143 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
9144 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
9145 matter what.
9146 [Richard Levitte]
9147
9148 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
9149 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9150
9151 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
9152
9153 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
9154 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
9155 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
9156 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
9157 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
9158 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
9159 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
9160 by the Finished messages.
9161 [Bodo Moeller]
9162
9163 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
9164 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
9165
9166 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
9167 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
9168 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
9169 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
9170 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
9171 appropriately.
9172 [Steve Henson]
9173
9174 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
9175 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
9176 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
9177 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
9178 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
9179 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
9180 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
9181 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
9182 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
9183 together.
9184 [Steve Henson]
9185
9186 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
9187 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
9188 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
9189 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
9190
9191 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
9192 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
9193 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
9194 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
9195 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
9196 the answer.
9197
9198 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
9199 been tested well enough.
9200 [Richard Levitte]
9201
9202 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
9203 it can return incorrect results.
9204 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
9205 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
9206 [Bodo Moeller]
9207
9208 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
9209 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
9210 include zero length content when signing messages.
9211 [Steve Henson]
9212
9213 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
9214 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
9215 [Bodo Möller]
9216
9217 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
9218 [Richard Levitte]
9219
9220 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
9221 wrong sign.
9222 [Ulf Möller]
9223
9224 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
9225 packages. The default package contains applications, application
9226 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
9227 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
9228 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
9229 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
9230 [Richard Levitte]
9231
9232 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
9233 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9234
9235 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
9236 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
9237
9238 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
9239 random number < q in the DSA library.
9240 [Ulf Möller]
9241
9242 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
9243 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
9244 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
9245 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
9246 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
9247 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
9248 just makes things more complicated.)
9249 [Bodo Moeller]
9250
9251 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
9252 from EGD.
9253 [Ben Laurie]
9254
9255 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
9256 work better on such systems.
9257 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9258
9259 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
9260 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
9261 keyid to the certificates aux info.
9262 [Steve Henson]
9263
9264 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
9265 if there was more than one signature.
9266 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
9267
9268 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
9269 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
9270 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
9271 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
9272 [Richard Levitte]
9273
9274 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
9275 rather than always using the current time.
9276 [Steve Henson]
9277
9278 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
9279 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
9280 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
9281 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
9282 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
9283 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
9284
9285 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
9286 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
9287
9288 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
9289
9290 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
9291 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
9292 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
9293 the same hash value.
9294
9295 As a result various functions (which were all internal
9296 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
9297 structure. This will break anything that messed round
9298 with X509_STORE internally.
9299
9300 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
9301 exact match, rather than just subject name.
9302
9303 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
9304 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
9305 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
9306 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
9307 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
9308 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
9309 entirely (maybe later...).
9310
9311 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
9312
9313 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
9314 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
9315 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
9316 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
9317 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
9318 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
9319 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
9320 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
9321
9322 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
9323 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
9324
9325 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
9326 to customise the verify behaviour.
9327 [Steve Henson]
9328
9329 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
9330 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
9331 [Steve Henson]
9332
9333 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
9334 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
9335 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
9336 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
9337 request is improperly encoded.
9338 [Steve Henson]
9339
9340 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
9341 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
9342 BIO_write(b, ...).
9343
9344 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
9345 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
9346
9347 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
9348 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
9349 words set to zero.)
9350 [Bodo Moeller]
9351
9352 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
9353 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
9354 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
9355 [Bodo Moeller]
9356
9357 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
9358 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
9359 BIO/fp routines also added.
9360 [Steve Henson]
9361
9362 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
9363 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
9364
9365 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
9366 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
9367 demos/state_machine.
9368 [Ben Laurie]
9369
9370 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
9371 generation and verification.
9372 [Steve Henson]
9373
9374 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
9375 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
9376 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
9377 encode and decode it manually.
9378 [Steve Henson]
9379
9380 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
9381 compile under VC++.
9382 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
9383
9384 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
9385 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
9386 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
9387 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
9388
9389 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
9390 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
9391 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
9392 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
9393 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
9394 [Steve Henson]
9395
9396 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
9397 [Richard Levitte]
9398
9399 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
9400 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
9401 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
9402
9403 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
9404 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
9405 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
9406 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
9407 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
9408 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
9409 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
9410 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
9411
9412 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
9413 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
9414
9415 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
9416
9417 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
9418 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
9419 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
9420
9421 [Richard Levitte]
9422
9423 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
9424 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
9425 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
9426 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
9427 [Richard Levitte]
9428
9429 *) MD4 implemented.
9430 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
9431
9432 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
9433 [Richard Levitte]
9434
9435 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
9436 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
9437 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
9438 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
9439 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
9440 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
9441 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
9442 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
9443 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
9444 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
9445 short or long names are found.
9446 [Steve Henson]
9447
9448 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
9449 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
9450
9451 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
9452 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
9453 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
9454 version rollback attacks was not effective.
9455
9456 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
9457 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
9458 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
9459 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
9460 [Bodo Moeller]
9461
9462 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
9463 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
9464 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
9465 [Richard Levitte]
9466
9467 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
9468 these print out strings and name structures based on various
9469 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
9470 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
9471 to allow the various flags to be set.
9472 [Steve Henson]
9473
9474 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
9475 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
9476 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
9477 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
9478 dates to be checked.
9479 [Steve Henson]
9480
9481 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
9482 negative public key encodings) on by default,
9483 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
9484 [Steve Henson]
9485
9486 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
9487 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
9488 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
9489 [Steve Henson]
9490
9491 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
9492 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
9493 [Bodo Moeller]
9494
9495 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
9496 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
9497 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
9498 are always statically linked for now, but there are
9499 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
9500 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
9501 [Richard Levitte]
9502
9503 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
9504 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
9505 Random Numbers.
9506 [Ulf Möller]
9507
9508 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
9509 DSA key.
9510 [Steve Henson]
9511
9512 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
9513 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
9514 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
9515 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
9516 form signing output easier to verify.
9517 [Steve Henson]
9518
9519 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
9520 [Steve Henson]
9521
9522 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
9523 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
9524 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
9525 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
9526 are needed because all other string types have virtually
9527 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
9528 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
9529 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
9530 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
9531 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
9532 [Steve Henson]
9533
9534 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
9535
9536 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
9537 the syntax given in objects.README.
9538 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
9539 obj_mac.h.
9540 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
9541 obj_mac.h.
9542
9543 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
9544 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
9545 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
9546 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
9547 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
9548 consistent name changes.
9549 [Richard Levitte]
9550
9551 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
9552 [Bodo Moeller]
9553
9554 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
9555 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
9556 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
9557 environment variable, or the default random state file.
9558 [Richard Levitte]
9559
9560 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
9561 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
9562 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
9563 of safestack.h .
9564 [Steve Henson]
9565
9566 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
9567 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
9568 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
9569 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
9570 [Steve Henson]
9571
9572 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
9573 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
9574 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
9575 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
9576 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
9577 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
9578 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
9579 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
9580 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
9581 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
9582 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
9583 [Steve Henson]
9584
9585 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
9586 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
9587 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
9588 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
9589 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
9590 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
9591 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
9592 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
9593 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
9594 algorithm to openssl-dev.
9595 [Steve Henson]
9596
9597 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
9598 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
9599 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
9600 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
9601
9602 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
9603 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
9604 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
9605 omit any duplicate addresses.
9606 [Steve Henson]
9607
9608 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
9609 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
9610 [Bodo Moeller]
9611
9612 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
9613 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
9614 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
9615 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
9616 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
9617 [Bodo Moeller]
9618
9619 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
9620 software:
9621 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
9622 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
9623 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
9624 Free => OPENSSL_free
9625 [Richard Levitte]
9626
9627 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
9628 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
9629 [Bodo Moeller]
9630
9631 *) CygWin32 support.
9632 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
9633
9634 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
9635 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
9636 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
9637 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
9638 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
9639 approach.
9640 [Geoff Thorpe]
9641
9642 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
9643 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
9644 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
9645 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
9646 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
9647 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
9648 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
9649 [Geoff Thorpe]
9650
9651 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
9652 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
9653 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
9654 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
9655 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
9656 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
9657 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
9658 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
9659 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
9660 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
9661 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
9662 [Bodo Moeller]
9663
9664 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
9665 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
9666 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
9667 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
9668 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
9669
9670 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
9671 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
9672 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
9673 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
9674 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
9675
9676 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
9677 ciphers.
9678
9679 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
9680 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
9681 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
9682 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
9683
9684 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
9685
9686 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
9687 of macros.
9688
9689 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
9690 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
9691 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
9692 flags.
9693
9694 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
9695 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
9696 any installed hardware versions can.
9697 [Steve Henson]
9698
9699 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
9700 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
9701 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
9702 number.
9703 [Bodo Moeller]
9704
9705 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
9706 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
9707 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
9708 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
9709 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
9710
9711 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
9712 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
9713 [Steve Henson]
9714
9715 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
9716 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
9717 [Richard Levitte]
9718
9719 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
9720 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
9721 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
9722 features.
9723 [Steve Henson]
9724
9725 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
9726 [Ulf Möller]
9727
9728 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
9729 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
9730 but no ssl client purpose.
9731 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
9732
9733 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
9734 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
9735 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
9736 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
9737 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
9738 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
9739 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
9740 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
9741 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
9742 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
9743 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
9744 [Steve Henson]
9745
9746 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
9747 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
9748 be obtained from the error queue.
9749 [Bodo Moeller]
9750
9751 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
9752 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
9753 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
9754 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
9755 [Bodo Moeller]
9756
9757 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
9758 [Ulf Möller]
9759
9760 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
9761 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
9762 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
9763 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
9764 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
9765 [Geoff Thorpe]
9766
9767 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
9768 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
9769 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
9770 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
9771 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
9772 [Geoff Thorpe]
9773
9774 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
9775 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
9776 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
9777 may not be NULL.
9778 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
9779
9780 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
9781 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
9782 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
9783 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
9784 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
9785 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
9786 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
9787 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
9788 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
9789 or "the configuration storage API"...
9790
9791 The new configuration file reading functions are:
9792
9793 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
9794 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
9795
9796 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
9797
9798 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
9799
9800 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
9801 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
9802 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
9803 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
9804 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
9805 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
9806 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
9807
9808 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
9809 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
9810 [Richard Levitte]
9811
9812 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
9813 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
9814 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
9815 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
9816 [Bodo Moeller]
9817
9818 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
9819 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
9820 them in a portable way.
9821 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
9822
9823 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
9824
9825 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
9826
9827 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
9828 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
9829
9830 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
9831 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
9832 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
9833 <attili@amaxo.com>]
9834
9835 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
9836 was larger than the MD block size.
9837 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
9838
9839 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
9840 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
9841 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
9842 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
9843 components.
9844 [Steve Henson]
9845
9846 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
9847 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
9848 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
9849
9850 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
9851 discouraged.
9852 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
9853
9854 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
9855 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
9856 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
9857 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
9858 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
9859 Additional arguments are always ignored.
9860
9861 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
9862 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
9863
9864 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
9865 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
9866 [Bodo Moeller]
9867
9868 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
9869 [Bodo Moeller]
9870
9871 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
9872 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
9873 its own key.
9874 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
9875 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
9876 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
9877 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
9878 [Bodo Moeller]
9879
9880 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
9881 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
9882 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
9883 does not suppress any output.
9884 [Richard Levitte]
9885
9886 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
9887 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
9888 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
9889 with all the associated security issues.
9890
9891 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
9892 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
9893 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
9894 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
9895 use the value in the default purpose.
9896 [Steve Henson]
9897
9898 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
9899 and fix a memory leak.
9900 [Steve Henson]
9901
9902 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
9903 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
9904 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
9905 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
9906 [Bodo Moeller]
9907
9908 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
9909 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
9910 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
9911 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
9912 [Bodo Moeller]
9913
9914 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
9915 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
9916 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
9917 [Bodo Moeller]
9918
9919 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
9920 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
9921 [Bodo Moeller]
9922
9923 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
9924 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
9925 which was free.
9926 [Steve Henson]
9927
9928 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
9929 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
9930 [Bodo Moeller]
9931
9932 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
9933 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
9934 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
9935 [Bodo Moeller]
9936
9937 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
9938 number generation fails.
9939 [Bodo Moeller]
9940
9941 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
9942 [Bodo Moeller]
9943
9944 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
9945 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
9946
9947 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
9948 [Ulf Möller]
9949
9950 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
9951 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
9952
9953 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
9954 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
9955
9956 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
9957
9958 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
9959 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
9960 [Steve Henson]
9961
9962 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
9963 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
9964
9965 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
9966 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
9967 [Ulf Möller]
9968
9969 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
9970 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
9971 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
9972 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
9973 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
9974 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
9975
9976 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
9977 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
9978 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
9979 for example.
9980 [Steve Henson]
9981
9982 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
9983 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
9984 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
9985 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
9986 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
9987 counter, some don't.)
9988 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
9989 counters or duplicate objects.
9990 [Steve Henson]
9991
9992 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
9993 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
9994 [Steve Henson]
9995
9996 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
9997 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
9998 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
9999
10000 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
10001 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
10002 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
10003 or -rand.
10004 [Ulf Möller]
10005
10006 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
10007 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
10008 [Steve Henson]
10009
10010 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
10011 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
10012 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
10013 cipher list.
10014 [Steve Henson]
10015
10016 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
10017 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
10018 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
10019 [Steve Henson]
10020
10021 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
10022 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
10023 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
10024 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
10025 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
10026 should work without changes.
10027 [Richard Levitte]
10028
10029 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
10030 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
10031 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
10032 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
10033 must be defined. E.g.,
10034 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
10035 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
10036 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
10037 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
10038
10039 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
10040 record layer.
10041 [Bodo Moeller]
10042
10043 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
10044 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
10045 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
10046 [Steve Henson]
10047
10048 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
10049 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
10050 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
10051 request header lines. Some software needs this.
10052 [Steve Henson]
10053
10054 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
10055 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
10056 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
10057 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
10058 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
10059 is prompted for as usual.
10060 [Steve Henson]
10061
10062 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
10063 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
10064 autodetect the card and use it if present.
10065 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
10066
10067 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
10068 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
10069 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
10070 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
10071 [Steve Henson]
10072
10073 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
10074 [Andy Polyakov]
10075
10076 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
10077 of seed file.
10078 [Steve Henson]
10079
10080 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
10081 [Bodo Moeller]
10082
10083 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
10084 [Steve Henson]
10085
10086 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
10087 bits.
10088 [Ulf Möller]
10089
10090 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
10091 [Ulf Möller]
10092
10093 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
10094 [Andy Polyakov]
10095
10096 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
10097 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
10098 [Ulf Möller]
10099
10100 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
10101 options to produce them.
10102 [Steve Henson]
10103
10104 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
10105 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
10106 [Ulf Möller]
10107
10108 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
10109 for p == 0.
10110 [Ulf Möller]
10111
10112 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
10113 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
10114 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
10115 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
10116 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
10117 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
10118 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
10119 [Steve Henson]
10120
10121 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
10122 [Steve Henson]
10123
10124 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
10125 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
10126 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
10127 [Bodo Moeller]
10128
10129 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
10130 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
10131
10132 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
10133 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
10134 [Ulf Möller]
10135
10136 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
10137 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
10138 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
10139 has already seen).
10140 [Bodo Moeller]
10141
10142 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
10143 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
10144
10145 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
10146 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
10147 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
10148 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
10149 generation becomes much faster.
10150
10151 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
10152 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
10153 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
10154 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
10155 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
10156 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
10157 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
10158 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
10159 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
10160 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
10161 [Bodo Moeller]
10162
10163 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
10164 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
10165 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
10166 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
10167 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
10168 trial division stage.
10169 [Bodo Moeller]
10170
10171 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
10172 as ASN1_TIME.
10173 [Steve Henson]
10174
10175 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
10176 [Steve Henson]
10177
10178 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
10179 [Ulf Möller]
10180
10181 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
10182 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
10183 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
10184 the comments.
10185 [Ulf Möller]
10186
10187 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
10188 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
10189 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
10190 [Bodo Moeller]
10191
10192 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
10193 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
10194 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
10195 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
10196
10197 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
10198 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
10199 [Steve Henson]
10200
10201 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
10202 [Ulf Möller]
10203
10204 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
10205 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
10206 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
10207 Rabin-Miller iterations.
10208 [Ulf Möller]
10209
10210 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
10211 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
10212 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
10213 [Ulf Möller]
10214
10215 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
10216 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
10217 (instead of parameters) in future.
10218 [Steve Henson]
10219
10220 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
10221 when a new cipher list is set.
10222 [Steve Henson]
10223
10224 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
10225 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
10226 wrong.
10227
10228 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
10229 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
10230 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
10231
10232 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
10233 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
10234 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
10235 an error is flagged.
10236
10237 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
10238 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
10239 the readability was also increased :-)
10240 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10241
10242 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
10243 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
10244 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
10245 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
10246 as the root CA.
10247 [Steve Henson]
10248
10249 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
10250 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
10251 [Steve Henson]
10252
10253 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
10254 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
10255 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
10256 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
10257 instead.
10258
10259 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
10260 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
10261 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
10262 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
10263 because they handle more complex structures.)
10264 [Steve Henson]
10265
10266 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
10267 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
10268 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
10269 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10270
10271 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
10272 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
10273 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
10274 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
10275 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
10276 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
10277 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
10278 [Ulf Möller]
10279
10280 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
10281 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
10282 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
10283 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
10284 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
10285 [Bodo Moeller]
10286
10287 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
10288 [Bodo Moeller]
10289
10290 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
10291 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
10292 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
10293 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
10294 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
10295 to use this.
10296
10297 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
10298 code.
10299 [Steve Henson]
10300
10301 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
10302 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
10303 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
10304 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
10305 [Steve Henson]
10306
10307 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
10308 [Ulf Möller]
10309
10310 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
10311 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
10312 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
10313 international characters are used.
10314
10315 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
10316 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
10317 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
10318 in ASN1 order.
10319 [Steve Henson]
10320
10321 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
10322 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
10323 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
10324 request.
10325
10326 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
10327 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
10328 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
10329 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
10330 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
10331 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
10332
10333 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
10334 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
10335 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
10336 be handled by the string table functions.
10337
10338 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
10339 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
10340 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
10341 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
10342 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
10343 types at all.
10344 [Steve Henson]
10345
10346 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
10347 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
10348 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
10349 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
10350 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
10351
10352 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
10353 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
10354 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
10355 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
10356 [Bodo Moeller]
10357
10358 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
10359 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
10360 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
10361 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
10362 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
10363 SHA1.
10364 [Andy Polyakov]
10365
10366 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
10367 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
10368 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
10369 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
10370 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
10371 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
10372 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
10373 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
10374
10375 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
10376 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
10377 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
10378 [Steve Henson]
10379
10380 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
10381 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
10382 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
10383 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
10384 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
10385 support to pkcs8 application.
10386 [Steve Henson]
10387
10388 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
10389 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
10390 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
10391 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
10392 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
10393 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
10394 [Bodo Moeller]
10395
10396 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
10397 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
10398 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
10399 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
10400 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
10401 consistency.
10402 [Bodo Moeller]
10403
10404 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
10405 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
10406 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
10407 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
10408 example.
10409 [Steve Henson]
10410
10411 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
10412 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
10413 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
10414 and any application specific purposes.
10415
10416 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
10417 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
10418 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
10419 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
10420 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
10421 if the certificate is self signed.
10422 [Steve Henson]
10423
10424 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
10425 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
10426 [Steve Henson]
10427
10428 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
10429 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
10430 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
10431 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
10432 [Steve Henson]
10433
10434 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
10435 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
10436 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
10437 Update documentation.
10438 [Steve Henson]
10439
10440 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
10441 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
10442 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
10443 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
10444 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
10445 [Steve Henson]
10446
10447 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
10448 for details.
10449 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
10450
10451 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
10452 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
10453 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
10454 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
10455 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
10456 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
10457 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
10458 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
10459 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
10460 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
10461
10462 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
10463
10464 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10465 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10466 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
10467 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
10468 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
10469
10470 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
10471 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
10472 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
10473 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
10474 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
10475 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
10476 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
10477 request additional information:
10478 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
10479 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
10480
10481 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
10482 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
10483 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
10484 options.
10485
10486 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
10487 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
10488
10489 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
10490 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
10491 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
10492
10493 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
10494 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
10495
10496 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
10497 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
10498 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
10499 algorithm.
10500 [Steve Henson]
10501
10502 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
10503 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
10504 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
10505
10506 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
10507 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
10508 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
10509 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
10510 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
10511 included in OpenSSL.
10512 [Steve Henson]
10513
10514 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
10515 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
10516 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
10517 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
10518 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
10519 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
10520 [Bodo Moeller]
10521
10522 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
10523 PKCS12 structure.
10524 [Steve Henson]
10525
10526 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
10527 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
10528 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
10529 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
10530 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
10531 structure.
10532 [Steve Henson]
10533
10534 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
10535 need initialising.
10536 [Steve Henson]
10537
10538 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
10539 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
10540 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
10541 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
10542 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
10543 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
10544 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
10545 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
10546 be maintained manually.
10547
10548 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
10549 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
10550 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
10551 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
10552 work because people forget to call this function]
10553 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
10554 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
10555 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
10556 [Steve Henson]
10557
10558 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
10559 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
10560 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
10561 should be discouraged from doing it.
10562 [Ben Laurie]
10563
10564 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
10565 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
10566 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
10567 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
10568 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
10569 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
10570 [Steve Henson]
10571
10572 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
10573 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
10574 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
10575
10576 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
10577 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
10578 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
10579
10580 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
10581 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
10582 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
10583 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
10584 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
10585 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
10586
10587 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
10588 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
10589 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
10590
10591 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
10592 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
10593 and vice versa.
10594
10595 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
10596 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
10597 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
10598 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
10599 [Steve Henson]
10600
10601 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
10602 [Steve Henson]
10603
10604 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
10605 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
10606 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
10607 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
10608 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
10609 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
10610 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
10611 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
10612 keys so we should be OK.
10613
10614 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
10615 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
10616 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
10617 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
10618 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
10619 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
10620 stay in the name of compatibility.
10621
10622 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
10623 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
10624 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
10625
10626 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
10627 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
10628 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
10629 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
10630 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
10631 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
10632 supplied key).
10633 [Steve Henson]
10634
10635 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
10636 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
10637 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
10638 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
10639 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
10640 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
10641 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
10642 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
10643 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
10644 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
10645 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
10646 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
10647 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
10648 [Steve Henson]
10649
10650 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
10651 [Steve Henson]
10652
10653 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
10654 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
10655 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
10656 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
10657 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
10658 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
10659 single self signed certificate. This means that:
10660 openssl verify ss.pem
10661 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
10662 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
10663 is OK.
10664 [Steve Henson]
10665
10666 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
10667 (and add it to external session representation).
10668 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
10669 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
10670 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
10671 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
10672 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
10673 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
10674 security holes.
10675 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
10676
10677 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
10678 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
10679 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
10680 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
10681
10682 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
10683 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
10684 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
10685 [Steve Henson]
10686
10687 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
10688 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
10689 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
10690 code.
10691 [Steve Henson]
10692
10693 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
10694 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
10695 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
10696
10697 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
10698 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
10699 certificate auxiliary information.
10700 [Steve Henson]
10701
10702 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
10703 the 'enc' command.
10704 [Steve Henson]
10705
10706 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
10707 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
10708 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
10709 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
10710 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
10711 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
10712 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
10713 [Richard Levitte]
10714
10715 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
10716 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
10717 [Steve Henson]
10718
10719 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
10720 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
10721 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
10722 manpages and fix a few bugs.
10723 [Steve Henson]
10724
10725 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
10726 [Steve Henson]
10727
10728 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
10729 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
10730 [Steve Henson]
10731
10732 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
10733 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
10734 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
10735 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
10736 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
10737 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
10738 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
10739 using the new 'x509' options.
10740
10741 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
10742 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
10743 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
10744 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
10745 for all purposes.
10746 [Steve Henson]
10747
10748 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
10749 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
10750 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
10751 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
10752 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
10753 [Mark Cox]
10754
10755 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
10756 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
10757 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
10758 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
10759 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
10760 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
10761 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
10762 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
10763 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
10764 the key length and effective key length are equal.
10765 [Steve Henson]
10766
10767 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
10768 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
10769 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
10770 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
10771 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
10772 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
10773 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
10774 [Steve Henson]
10775
10776 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
10777 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
10778 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
10779 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
10780 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
10781 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
10782 openssl.cnf for more info.
10783 [Steve Henson]
10784
10785 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
10786 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
10787 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
10788 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
10789 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
10790 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
10791 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
10792 md should be large enough anyway.
10793 [Bodo Moeller]
10794
10795 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
10796 for handling the random seed file.
10797
10798 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
10799 ca,
10800 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
10801 s_client,
10802 s_server,
10803 x509 (when signing).
10804 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
10805 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
10806 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
10807
10808 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
10809 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
10810 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
10811 that support '-rand'.
10812 [Bodo Moeller]
10813
10814 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
10815 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
10816 [Bodo Moeller]
10817
10818 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
10819 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
10820 [Bill Perry]
10821
10822 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
10823 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
10824 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
10825 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
10826 is suitable.
10827 [Steve Henson]
10828
10829 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
10830 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
10831 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
10832 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
10833 [Steve Henson]
10834
10835 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
10836 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
10837 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
10838 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
10839 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
10840 print out all the purposes.
10841 [Steve Henson]
10842
10843 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
10844 functions.
10845 [Steve Henson]
10846
10847 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
10848 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
10849 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
10850 single function call.
10851 [Steve Henson]
10852
10853 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
10854 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
10855 [Andy Polyakov]
10856
10857 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
10858 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
10859 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
10860 [Steve Henson]
10861
10862 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
10863 when producing the local key id.
10864 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10865
10866 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
10867 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
10868 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
10869 "server.pem".
10870 [Steve Henson]
10871
10872 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
10873 a public key to be input or output. For example:
10874 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
10875 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
10876 [Steve Henson]
10877
10878 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
10879 in the message. This was handled by allowing
10880 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
10881 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
10882
10883 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
10884 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
10885 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
10886 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10887
10888 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
10889 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
10890 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
10891 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
10892 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
10893 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
10894 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
10895 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
10896 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
10897 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
10898 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
10899 trivial: move one line.
10900 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
10901
10902 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
10903 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
10904 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
10905 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
10906 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
10907 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
10908 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
10909 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
10910 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
10911 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
10912 with an event loop for example.
10913 [Steve Henson]
10914
10915 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
10916 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
10917 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
10918 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
10919 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
10920 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
10921 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
10922 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
10923 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
10924 [Steve Henson]
10925
10926 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
10927 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
10928 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
10929 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
10930 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
10931 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
10932 [Steve Henson]
10933
10934 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
10935 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
10936 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
10937 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
10938
10939 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
10940 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
10941 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
10942 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
10943 key generation.
10944 [Steve Henson]
10945
10946 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
10947 (still largely untested)
10948 [Bodo Moeller]
10949
10950 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
10951 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
10952 [Steve Henson]
10953
10954 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
10955 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
10956 [Steve Henson]
10957
10958 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
10959 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
10960 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
10961 [Bodo Moeller]
10962
10963 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
10964 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
10965 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
10966 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
10967 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
10968 [Steve Henson]
10969
10970 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
10971 [Andy Polyakov]
10972
10973 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
10974 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
10975 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
10976 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
10977 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
10978 in ca.
10979 [Steve Henson]
10980
10981 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
10982 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
10983 1.OU="Unit name 1"
10984 2.OU="Unit name 2"
10985 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
10986 [Steve Henson]
10987
10988 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
10989 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
10990 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
10991 are otherwise ignored at present.
10992 [Steve Henson]
10993
10994 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
10995 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
10996 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
10997 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
10998 copied until the next read.
10999 [Steve Henson]
11000
11001 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
11002 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
11003 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
11004 [Steve Henson]
11005
11006 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
11007 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
11008 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
11009 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
11010 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
11011 associated functions.
11012 [Steve Henson]
11013
11014 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
11015 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
11016 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
11017 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
11018 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
11019 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
11020 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
11021 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
11022 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
11023 memory BIOs.
11024 [Steve Henson]
11025
11026 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
11027 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
11028 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
11029 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
11030 [Bodo Moeller]
11031
11032 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
11033 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
11034 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
11035 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
11036 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
11037 functionality.
11038 [Steve Henson]
11039
11040 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
11041 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
11042 under Win32.
11043 [Steve Henson]
11044
11045 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
11046 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
11047 extensions to be obtained and added.
11048 [Steve Henson]
11049
11050 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
11051 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
11052 [Bodo Moeller]
11053
11054 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
11055
11056 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11057 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11058
11059 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
11060 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
11061
11062 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
11063 program.
11064 [Steve Henson]
11065
11066 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
11067 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
11068 DH parameters contain its length).
11069
11070 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
11071 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
11072 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
11073 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
11074 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
11075 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
11076 utter importance to use
11077 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11078 or
11079 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11080 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
11081 attacks may become possible!
11082 [Bodo Moeller]
11083
11084 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
11085 [Bodo Moeller]
11086
11087 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
11088 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
11089 [Steve Henson]
11090
11091 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
11092 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
11093 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
11094 or long name.
11095 [Steve Henson]
11096
11097 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
11098 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
11099 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
11100 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
11101 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
11102 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
11103 private key operations.
11104 [Steve Henson]
11105
11106 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
11107 [Andy Polyakov]
11108
11109 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
11110 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
11111 to
11112 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
11113 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
11114 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
11115 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
11116 the password callback is called.
11117 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
11118
11119 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
11120
11121 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
11122 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
11123 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
11124 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
11125 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
11126 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
11127 this will work.
11128
11129 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
11130 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
11131 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
11132 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
11133 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
11134 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
11135 [Bodo Moeller]
11136
11137 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
11138 [Andy Polyakov]
11139
11140 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
11141 delete an unused file.
11142 [Ulf Möller]
11143
11144 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
11145 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
11146 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
11147 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
11148 [Steve Henson]
11149
11150 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
11151 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
11152 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
11153 of an error.
11154 [Bodo Moeller]
11155
11156 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
11157 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
11158 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
11159
11160 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
11161 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
11162 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
11163 comparison" warnings.
11164 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
11165 [Steve Henson]
11166
11167 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
11168 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
11169 derived keys are printed to stderr.
11170 [Steve Henson]
11171
11172 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
11173 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
11174
11175 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
11176 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
11177
11178 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
11179 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
11180 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
11181
11182 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
11183 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
11184 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
11185 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
11186 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
11187 this bug.
11188 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
11189
11190 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
11191 The interface is as follows:
11192 Applications can use
11193 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
11194 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
11195 "off" is now the default.
11196 The library internally uses
11197 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
11198 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
11199 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
11200
11201 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
11202 even the default) are now avoided.
11203
11204 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
11205 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
11206 than just having a counter.
11207
11208 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
11209
11210 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
11211 extensions.
11212 [Bodo Moeller]
11213
11214 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
11215 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
11216 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
11217 Initial "mode" flags are:
11218
11219 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
11220 a single record has been written.
11221 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
11222 retries use the same buffer location.
11223 (But all of the contents must be
11224 copied!)
11225 [Bodo Moeller]
11226
11227 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
11228 worked.
11229
11230 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
11231 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
11232
11233 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
11234 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
11235 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
11236 [Steve Henson]
11237
11238 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
11239 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
11240 test programs.
11241 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
11242
11243 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
11244 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
11245 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
11246 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
11247 point to the end.
11248 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
11249 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
11250
11251 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
11252 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
11253 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
11254 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
11255 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
11256 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
11257 [Steve Henson]
11258
11259 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
11260 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
11261 necessary function names.
11262 [Steve Henson]
11263
11264 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
11265 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
11266 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
11267 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
11268 [Bodo Moeller]
11269
11270 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
11271 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
11272 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
11273 [Steve Henson]
11274
11275 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
11276 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
11277 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
11278 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
11279 such programs?)
11280 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
11281 need locks.
11282 [Bodo Moeller]
11283
11284 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
11285 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
11286 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
11287 [Bodo Moeller]
11288
11289 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
11290 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
11291 appropriate.
11292 [Bodo Moeller]
11293
11294 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
11295 for the encoded length.
11296 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
11297
11298 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
11299 [Steve Henson]
11300
11301 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
11302 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
11303 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
11304 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
11305 [Steve Henson]
11306
11307 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
11308 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
11309 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11310
11311 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
11312 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
11313 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
11314 unusual formatting.
11315 [Steve Henson]
11316
11317 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
11318 to use the new extension code.
11319 [Steve Henson]
11320
11321 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
11322 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
11323 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
11324 constant.
11325 [Steve Henson]
11326
11327 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
11328 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
11329 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
11330 [Bodo Moeller]
11331
11332 #if 0
11333 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
11334 [Ben Laurie]
11335 #else
11336 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
11337 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
11338 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
11339 #endif
11340
11341 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
11342 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
11343 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
11344 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
11345 [Ben Laurie]
11346
11347 *) DES library cleanups.
11348 [Ulf Möller]
11349
11350 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
11351 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
11352 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
11353 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
11354 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
11355 of v2.0.
11356 [Steve Henson]
11357
11358 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
11359 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
11360 [Bodo Moeller]
11361
11362 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
11363 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
11364 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
11365 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
11366 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
11367 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
11368 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
11369 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
11370 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
11371 [Steve Henson]
11372
11373 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
11374 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
11375 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
11376 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
11377 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
11378 value doesn't matter.
11379 [Steve Henson]
11380
11381 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
11382 support mutable.
11383 [Ben Laurie]
11384
11385 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
11386 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
11387 "linux-sparc" configuration.
11388 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
11389
11390 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
11391 [Ulf Möller]
11392
11393 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
11394 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
11395 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11396
11397 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
11398 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11399
11400 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
11401 [Ben Laurie]
11402
11403 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
11404 [Ben Laurie]
11405
11406 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
11407 [Ben Laurie]
11408
11409 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
11410 [Bodo Moeller]
11411
11412
11413 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
11414
11415 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
11416
11417 *) Updated some demos.
11418 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
11419
11420 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
11421 [Wu Zhigang]
11422
11423 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
11424 [Steve Henson]
11425
11426 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
11427 [Steve Henson]
11428
11429 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
11430 instead of using a fixed path.
11431 [Bodo Moeller]
11432
11433 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
11434 [Andy Polyakov]
11435
11436 *) Improvements for VMS support.
11437 [Richard Levitte]
11438
11439
11440 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
11441
11442 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
11443 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
11444 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11445
11446 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
11447 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
11448 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
11449 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
11450 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
11451 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
11452 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
11453 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
11454 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
11455 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
11456 [Steve Henson]
11457
11458 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
11459 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
11460 [Steve Henson]
11461
11462 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
11463 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
11464 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
11465 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
11466 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
11467
11468 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
11469 [Bodo Moeller]
11470
11471 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
11472 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
11473 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
11474 [Steve Henson]
11475
11476 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
11477 [Ben Laurie]
11478
11479 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
11480 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
11481 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
11482 key elements as negative integers.
11483 [Steve Henson]
11484
11485 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
11486 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11487
11488 *) VMS support.
11489 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
11490
11491 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
11492 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
11493 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
11494 [Steve Henson]
11495
11496 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
11497 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
11498 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
11499 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
11500 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
11501 [Bodo Moeller]
11502
11503 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
11504 [Ulf Möller]
11505
11506 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
11507 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
11508 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
11509 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11510
11511 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
11512 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
11513 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
11514
11515 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
11516 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
11517 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
11518 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
11519 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
11520 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
11521 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
11522 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
11523 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
11524
11525 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
11526 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
11527 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
11528 does not influence s as it used to.
11529
11530 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
11531 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
11532 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
11533 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
11534 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
11535 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
11536 [Bodo Moeller]
11537
11538 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
11539 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
11540 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
11541 key type.
11542 [Steve Henson]
11543
11544 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
11545 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
11546 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
11547 and 'x509').
11548 [Steve Henson]
11549
11550 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
11551 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
11552 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
11553 extension option.
11554 [Steve Henson]
11555
11556 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
11557 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
11558 [Ben Laurie]
11559
11560 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
11561 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11562
11563 *) Support Mingw32.
11564 [Ulf Möller]
11565
11566 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
11567 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11568
11569 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
11570 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11571
11572 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
11573 [Ulf Möller]
11574
11575 *) Update HPUX configuration.
11576 [Anonymous]
11577
11578 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
11579 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11580
11581 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
11582 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
11583 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
11584 DER-encoded.)
11585 [Bodo Moeller]
11586
11587 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
11588 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
11589 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
11590 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
11591 now it really counts the depth.
11592 [Bodo Moeller]
11593
11594 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
11595 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
11596 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
11597 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
11598 didn't match the private key).
11599
11600 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
11601 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
11602 connection using the SSL_CTX).
11603 [Bodo Moeller]
11604
11605 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
11606 [Ulf Möller]
11607
11608 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
11609 David Harris.
11610 [Bodo Moeller]
11611
11612 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
11613 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
11614 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
11615 [Bodo Moeller]
11616
11617 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
11618 [Bodo Moeller]
11619
11620 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
11621 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
11622 such as /usr/local/bin.
11623 [Bodo Moeller]
11624
11625 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
11626 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11627
11628 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
11629 [Ulf Möller]
11630
11631 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
11632 extension adding in x509 utility.
11633 [Steve Henson]
11634
11635 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
11636 [Ulf Möller]
11637
11638 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
11639 prototypes.
11640 [Steve Henson]
11641
11642 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
11643 [Ulf Möller]
11644
11645 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
11646 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
11647 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
11648 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
11649 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
11650 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
11651 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
11652 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
11653 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
11654 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
11655 [Steve Henson]
11656
11657 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
11658 [Bodo Moeller]
11659
11660 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
11661 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
11662 [Bodo Moeller]
11663
11664 *) Fix some race conditions.
11665 [Bodo Moeller]
11666
11667 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
11668 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
11669 [Steve Henson]
11670
11671 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
11672 [Ulf Möller]
11673
11674 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
11675 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
11676 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
11677 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
11678
11679 *) Fix lots of warnings.
11680 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11681
11682 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
11683 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
11684 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11685
11686 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
11687 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11688
11689 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
11690 [Ulf Möller]
11691
11692 *) Fix typos in error codes.
11693 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
11694
11695 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
11696 [Ulf Möller]
11697
11698 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
11699 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11700
11701 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
11702 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
11703 [Steve Henson]
11704
11705 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
11706 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
11707 [Ben Laurie]
11708
11709 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
11710 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
11711 [Steve Henson]
11712
11713 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
11714 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
11715 [Steve Henson]
11716
11717 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
11718 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
11719 [Steve Henson]
11720
11721 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
11722 support typesafe stack.
11723 [Steve Henson]
11724
11725 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
11726 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
11727
11728 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
11729 old X509V3 handling code.
11730 [Steve Henson]
11731
11732 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
11733 [Ulf Möller]
11734
11735 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
11736 [Bodo Moeller]
11737
11738 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
11739 [Ben Laurie]
11740
11741 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
11742 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
11743
11744 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
11745 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
11746 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
11747 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
11748 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
11749 [Ben Laurie]
11750
11751 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
11752 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
11753 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
11754 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
11755 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
11756
11757 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
11758 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
11759 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
11760 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11761
11762 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
11763 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
11764 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
11765 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11766
11767 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
11768 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
11769 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
11770 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
11771 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
11772 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
11773 [Bodo Moeller]
11774
11775 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
11776 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
11777 [Bodo Moeller]
11778
11779 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
11780 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
11781 [Ulf Möller]
11782
11783 *) Tweaks to Configure
11784 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11785
11786 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
11787 yet...
11788 [Steve Henson]
11789
11790 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
11791 [Ulf Möller]
11792
11793 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
11794 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
11795 [Ulf Möller]
11796
11797 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
11798 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
11799 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
11800 [Bodo Moeller]
11801
11802 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
11803 [Bodo Moeller]
11804
11805 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
11806 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
11807 [Steve Henson]
11808
11809 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
11810 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
11811 to library startup routines.
11812 [Steve Henson]
11813
11814 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
11815 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
11816 codes along the way.
11817 [Steve Henson]
11818
11819 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
11820 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
11821 objects to objects.h
11822 [Steve Henson]
11823
11824 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
11825 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
11826 [Steve Henson]
11827
11828 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
11829 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
11830
11831 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
11832 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
11833 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
11834
11835 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
11836 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11837 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11838
11839 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
11840 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
11841 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
11842
11843
11844 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
11845
11846 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
11847 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
11848 [Ben Laurie]
11849
11850 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
11851 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
11852 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
11853 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
11854 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
11855
11856 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
11857 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
11858 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
11859 document.
11860 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11861
11862 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
11863 Malloc, Free.
11864 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
11865
11866 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
11867 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11868
11869 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
11870 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
11871 if someone would make that last step automatic.
11872 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
11873
11874 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
11875 [Ben Laurie]
11876
11877 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
11878 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
11879 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
11880 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
11881 [Steve Henson]
11882
11883 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
11884 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
11885 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
11886 [Steve Henson]
11887
11888 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
11889 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
11890 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
11891 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
11892 installed as `perl').
11893 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11894
11895 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
11896 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11897
11898 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
11899 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
11900 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
11901 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
11902 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
11903 [Steve Henson]
11904
11905 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
11906 [Ben Laurie]
11907
11908 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
11909 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
11910 is horrible: I feel ill....
11911 [Steve Henson]
11912
11913 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
11914 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
11915 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
11916 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
11917 [Steve Henson]
11918
11919 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
11920 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11921
11922 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
11923 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
11924 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
11925 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11926
11927 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
11928 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
11929 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
11930 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
11931 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
11932 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
11933 openssl_bio.xs.
11934 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11935
11936 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
11937 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11938
11939 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
11940 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
11941
11942 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
11943 [Ben Laurie]
11944
11945 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
11946 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
11947 in CRLs.
11948 [Steve Henson]
11949
11950 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
11951 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
11952 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
11953 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
11954 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
11955 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
11956 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
11957 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
11958 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
11959 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
11960 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11961
11962 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
11963 [Ben Laurie]
11964
11965 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
11966 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
11967 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
11968 for linking it into DSOs.
11969 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11970
11971 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
11972 Fixed.
11973 [Ben Laurie]
11974
11975 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
11976 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
11977 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
11978 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
11979 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
11980 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11981
11982 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
11983 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
11984 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
11985 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
11986 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
11987 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
11988 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11989
11990 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
11991 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
11992 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
11993 encryption.
11994 [Ben Laurie]
11995
11996 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
11997 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
11998 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
11999 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
12000 [Steve Henson]
12001
12002 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
12003 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
12004 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
12005 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
12006 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
12007 field as blank.
12008 [Steve Henson]
12009
12010 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
12011 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
12012 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
12013 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
12014 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12015
12016 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
12017 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
12018 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12019
12020 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
12021 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12022
12023 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
12024 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
12025 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
12026 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
12027 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
12028 [Steve Henson]
12029
12030 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
12031 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
12032 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
12033 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
12034 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
12035 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
12036 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
12037 [Ben Laurie]
12038
12039 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
12040 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
12041 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
12042 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
12043 [Ben Laurie]
12044
12045 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
12046 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
12047
12048 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
12049 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
12050 [Steve Henson]
12051
12052 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
12053 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
12054 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
12055 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
12056 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
12057 (e.g. s_server).
12058 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
12059 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
12060 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
12061 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
12062 no way to reconfigure them.
12063 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
12064 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
12065 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
12066 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
12067 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
12068 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12069
12070 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
12071 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
12072 recognized by the users.
12073 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12074
12075 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
12076 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
12077 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
12078 already masked variable.
12079 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12080
12081 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
12082 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12083
12084 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
12085 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
12086 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
12087 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12088
12089 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
12090 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
12091 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12092
12093 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
12094 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
12095 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
12096 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
12097 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
12098 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
12099 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
12100 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
12101 now, too.
12102 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12103
12104 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
12105 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
12106 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12107
12108 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
12109 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
12110 config file.
12111 [Steve Henson]
12112
12113 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
12114 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12115
12116 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
12117 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
12118 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
12119 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
12120 [Ben Laurie]
12121
12122 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
12123 [Steve Henson]
12124
12125 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
12126 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12127
12128 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
12129 [Ben Laurie]
12130
12131 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
12132 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
12133 [Steve Henson]
12134
12135 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
12136 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
12137 [Steve Henson]
12138
12139 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
12140 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
12141 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
12142 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
12143 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
12144 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
12145 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
12146 Ben Laurie]
12147
12148 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
12149 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12150
12151 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
12152 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
12153 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
12154 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
12155 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12156
12157 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
12158 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
12159 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
12160 [Steve Henson]
12161
12162 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
12163 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
12164 an example.
12165 [Steve Henson]
12166
12167 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
12168 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
12169 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12170
12171 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
12172 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
12173 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
12174 build instructions.
12175 [Steve Henson]
12176
12177 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
12178 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
12179 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
12180 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
12181 [Steve Henson]
12182
12183 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
12184 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
12185 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
12186 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
12187 [Ben Laurie]
12188
12189 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
12190 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
12191 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
12192 so it wasn't spotted.
12193 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
12194
12195 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
12196 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
12197 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
12198 vectors if you have them.
12199 [Ben Laurie]
12200
12201 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
12202 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
12203 [Ben Laurie]
12204
12205 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
12206 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
12207 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
12208 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
12209 If you do a:
12210 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
12211 it will update them.
12212 [Steve Henson]
12213
12214 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
12215 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
12216 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
12217 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
12218 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
12219 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
12220 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
12221 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12222
12223 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
12224 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
12225 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
12226 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
12227 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
12228 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
12229 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
12230 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
12231 the crypto/md/ stuff).
12232 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12233
12234 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
12235 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
12236 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
12237 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
12238 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
12239 [Steve Henson]
12240
12241 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
12242 INTEGER code.
12243 [Steve Henson]
12244
12245 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
12246 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12247
12248 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
12249 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12250
12251 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
12252 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
12253 [Ben Laurie]
12254
12255 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
12256 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
12257
12258 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
12259 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
12260
12261 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
12262 [Steve Henson]
12263
12264 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
12265 few typos.
12266 [Steve Henson]
12267
12268 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
12269 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
12270 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
12271 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12272
12273 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12274 [Steve Henson]
12275
12276 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12277 [Steve Henson]
12278
12279 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
12280 [Steve Henson]
12281
12282 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
12283 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
12284 [Steve Henson]
12285
12286 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
12287 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
12288 CA extensions.
12289 [Steve Henson]
12290
12291 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
12292 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
12293 [Steve Henson]
12294
12295 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
12296 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
12297 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
12298 [Steve Henson]
12299
12300 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
12301 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
12302 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
12303 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
12304 properly to be processed.
12305 [Steve Henson]
12306
12307 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
12308 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
12309 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
12310 [Ben Laurie]
12311
12312 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
12313 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
12314
12315 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
12316 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
12317 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
12318 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
12319 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
12320 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
12321 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
12322 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
12323 or delete all the .err files.
12324 [Steve Henson]
12325
12326 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
12327 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
12328 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
12329 to regenerate it if needed.
12330 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
12331 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
12332
12333 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
12334 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12335
12336 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
12337 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
12338 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
12339 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
12340 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
12341 [Steve Henson]
12342
12343 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
12344 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12345
12346 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
12347 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12348
12349 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
12350 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
12351 error, but didn't set one).
12352 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12353
12354 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
12355 [Ben Laurie]
12356
12357 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
12358 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
12359 [Steve Henson]
12360
12361 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
12362 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
12363
12364 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
12365 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
12366 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
12367 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
12368 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
12369 OID is not part of the table.
12370 [Steve Henson]
12371
12372 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
12373 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
12374 [Ben Laurie]
12375
12376 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
12377 [Ben Laurie]
12378
12379 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
12380 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
12381 was "1234").
12382 [Steve Henson]
12383
12384 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
12385 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
12386
12387 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
12388 NULL pointers.
12389 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12390
12391 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
12392 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12393
12394 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
12395 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12396
12397 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
12398 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12399
12400 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
12401 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
12402 [Ben Laurie]
12403
12404 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
12405 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
12406 [Steve Henson]
12407
12408 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
12409 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12410
12411 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
12412 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12413
12414 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
12415 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12416
12417 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
12418 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12419
12420 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
12421 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
12422 unused in the certificate verification process.
12423 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12424
12425 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
12426 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
12427 [Steve Henson]
12428
12429 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
12430 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
12431 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
12432
12433 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
12434 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
12435 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
12436 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
12437 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
12438
12439 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
12440 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
12441 [Steve Henson]
12442
12443 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
12444 [Steve Henson]
12445
12446 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
12447 [Paul Sutton]
12448
12449 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
12450 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
12451
12452 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
12453 [Ben Laurie]
12454
12455 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
12456 [Ben Laurie]
12457
12458 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
12459 [Ben Laurie]
12460
12461 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
12462 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
12463 other error libraries.
12464 [Steve Henson]
12465
12466 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
12467 [Steve Henson]
12468
12469 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
12470 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
12471 be read in.
12472 [Steve Henson]
12473
12474 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
12475 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
12476 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
12477 the new set of documentation files.
12478 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12479
12480 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
12481 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
12482 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
12483 number of arguments.
12484 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
12485
12486 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
12487 [Ben Laurie]
12488
12489 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
12490 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
12491 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12492
12493 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
12494 [Ben Laurie]
12495
12496 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
12497 nextstep
12498 ncr-scde
12499 unixware-2.0
12500 unixware-2.0-pentium
12501 sco5-cc.
12502 [Ben Laurie]
12503
12504 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
12505 before they are needed.
12506 [Ben Laurie]
12507
12508 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
12509 [Ben Laurie]
12510
12511
12512 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
12513
12514 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
12515 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
12516 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12517
12518 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
12519 [Paul Sutton]
12520
12521 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
12522 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
12523 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12524
12525 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
12526 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
12527 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
12528
12529 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
12530 when "ssleay" is still not found.
12531 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12532
12533 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
12534 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
12535
12536 *) Updated the README file.
12537 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12538
12539 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
12540 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
12541 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12542
12543 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
12544 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
12545 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12546
12547 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
12548 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
12549 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
12550 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
12551 o removed obsolete TODO file
12552 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
12553 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12554
12555 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
12556 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
12557 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
12558 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
12559 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
12560 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
12561 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12562
12563 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
12564 [Mark J. Cox]
12565
12566 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
12567 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
12568 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
12569 summer 1998.

12582 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
12583 [Eric A. Young]
12584
12585 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
12586 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
12587 available).
12588 [Eric A. Young]
12589
12590 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
12591 binary structures
12592 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]

12645 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
12646 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
12647 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
12648 [Eric A. Young]
12649
12650 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
12651 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
12652 [Eric A. Young]
12653
12654 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
12655 [Eric A. Young]
