4
5 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.8 [xx XXX 2002]
6
7 *) Add ECDH engine support.
8 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
9
10 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
11 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
12
13 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
14 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
15 [Bodo Moeller]
16
17 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
18 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
19 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
20 [Bodo Moeller]
21
22 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
23 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
24
25 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
26 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
27
28 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
29 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
30 New EC_METHOD:
31
32 EC_GF2m_simple_method
33
34 New API functions:
35
36 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
37 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
38 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
39 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
40 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
41 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
42
43 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
44 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
45 enable it).
46
47 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
48 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
49 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
50 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
51 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
52 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
53 various internal method names.)
54
55 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
56 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
57
58 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
59 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
60
61 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
62 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
63
64 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
65 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
66 methods are undefined.
67
68 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
69 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
70
71 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
72 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
73 length of the modulus.
74
75 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
76 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
77
78 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
79 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
80
81 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
82 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
83
84 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
85 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
86 used) in the following functions [macros]:
87
88 BN_GF2m_add
89 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
90 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
91 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
92 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
93 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
94 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
95 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
96 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
97 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
98
99 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
100 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
101
102 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
103 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
104 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
105 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
106 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
107 where
108 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
109 This applies to the following functions:
110
111 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
112 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
113 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
114 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
115 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
116 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
117 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
118 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
119 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
120 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
121
122 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
123
124 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
125 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
126
127 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
128
129 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
130 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
131 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
132 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
133 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
134
135 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
136 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
137
138 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
139 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
140 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
141
142 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
143 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
144
145 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
146 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
147 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
148 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
149 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
150
151 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
152 functions
153 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
154 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
155 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
156 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
157 These control ASN1 encoding details:
158 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
159 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
160 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
161 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
162 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
163 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
164 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
165
166 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
167 functions
168 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
169 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
170 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
171 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
172 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
173
174 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
175 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
176 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
177 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
178
179 *) Add functions
180 EC_POINT_point2bn()
181 EC_POINT_bn2point()
182 EC_POINT_point2hex()
183 EC_POINT_hex2point()
184 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
185 EC_POINT_oct2point().
186 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
187
188 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
189 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
190 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
191 EC_GROUP_get_order()
192 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
193 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
194 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
195 adding different types of curves.
196 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
197
198 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
199 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
200 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
201 [Bodo Moeller]
202
203 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
204 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
205
206 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
207 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
208 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
209 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
210
211 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
212
213 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
214 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
215
216 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
217 library. Most notably,
218 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
219 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
220 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
221 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
222 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
223 extracted before the specific public key;
224 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
225 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
226
227 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
228 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. The curves can be obtained from the new
229 functions
230 EC_GROUP_new_by_nid()
231 EC_GROUP_new_by_name()
232 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
233 accessed via
234 EC_GROUP_set_nid()
235 EC_GROUP_get_nid()
236 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
237
238 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.7 [XX xxx 2002]
239
240 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
241 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
242 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
243 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
244
245 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
246 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
247 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
248
249 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
250 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
251 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
252 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
253
254 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
255 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
256 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
257 some local tweaks:
258
259 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
260 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
261 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
262 mkdir -p objtree/`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`
263 cd objtree/`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`
264 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f -o -type l) | while read F; do
265 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
266 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
267 done
268
269 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
270 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
271 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
272 [Richard Levitte]
273
274 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
275 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
276 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
277 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
278 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
279
280 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
281 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
282
283 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
284 error in AES-CFB decryption.
285 [Richard Levitte]
286
287 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
288 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
289 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
290 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
291 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
292 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
293 [Steve Henson]
294
295 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
296 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
297 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
298 [Steve Henson]
299
300 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
301 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
302 [Lutz Jaenicke]
303
304 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
305 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
306 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
307 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
308 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
309 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
310 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
311 [Lutz Jaenicke]
312
313 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
314 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
315 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
316 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
317 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
318 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
319 [Steve Henson]
320
321 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
322 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
323 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
324 declaration has been changed from
325 int (*cb)()
326 into
327 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
328 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
329 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
330 has been changed into
331 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
332
333 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
334 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
335 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
336
337 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
338 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
339
340 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
341 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
342 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
343 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
344 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
345 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
346 always load it have also been added.
347 [Steve Henson]
348
349 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
350 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
351 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
352
353 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
354
355 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
356 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
357 because it couldn't be used for anything.
358
359 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
360 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
361 command line option can be used to specify an
362 alternative file.
363 [Steve Henson]
364
365 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
366 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
367 [Steve Henson]
368
369 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
370 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
371 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
372 [Steve Henson]
373
374 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
375 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
376 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
377 to work with the new engine framework.
378 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
379
380 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
381 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
382 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
383 to work with the new engine framework.
384 [Richard Levitte]
385
386 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
387 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
388 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
389
390 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
391 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
392
393 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
394 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
395 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
396 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
397 FORMAT_IISSGC.
398 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
399
400 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
401 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
402
403 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
404 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
405
406 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
407 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
408 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
409 [Ben Laurie]
410
411 *) Add new functions
412 ERR_peek_last_error
413 ERR_peek_last_error_line
414 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
415 These are similar to
416 ERR_peek_error
417 ERR_peek_error_line
418 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
419 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
420 still in the error queue.
421 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
422
423 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
424 like:
425 default_algorithms = ALL
426 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
427 [Steve Henson]
428
429 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
430 [Steve Henson]
431
432 *) New experimental application configuration code.
433 [Steve Henson]
434
435 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
436 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
437 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
438 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
439
440 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
441 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
442
443 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
444 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
445
446 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
447 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
448 [Bodo Moeller]
449
450 *) New functions/macros
451
452 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
453 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
454 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
455 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
456
457 to request calling a callback function
458
459 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
460 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
461
462 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
463 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
464 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
465 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
466 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
467 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
468 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
469 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
470 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
471 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
472
473 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
474 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
475 [Bodo Moeller]
476
477 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
478 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
479 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
480 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
481 the configuration scripts.
482
483 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
484 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
485 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
486
487 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
488 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
489
490 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
491 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
492 when reusing an existing buffer.
493 [Bodo Moeller]
494
495 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
496 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
497 [Steve Henson]
498
499 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
500 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
501 [Ben Laurie]
502
503 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
504 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
505 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
506 has the same effect.
507 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
508
509 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
510 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
511 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
512 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
513 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
514 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
515 exception.
516
517 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
518 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
519 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
520 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
521
522 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
523 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
524 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
525 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
526
527 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
528 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
529 won't work.
530
531 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
532 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
533 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
534 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
535 default), and then completely removed.
536 [Richard Levitte]
537
538 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
539 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
540 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
541 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
542 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
543 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
544 particular extension is supported.
545 [Steve Henson]
546
547 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
548 to retain compatibility with existing code.
549 [Steve Henson]
550
551 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
552 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
553 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
554 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
555 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
556 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
557 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
558 requires the destination to be valid.
559
560 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
561 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
562 [Steve Henson]
563
564 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
565 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
566 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
567 [Bodo Moeller]
568
569 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
570 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
571
572 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
573 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
574 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
575 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
576 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
577 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
578 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
579 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
580 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
581 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
582 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
583 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
584 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
585 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
586 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
587 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
588 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
589 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
590 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
591 the new code.
592 [Geoff Thorpe]
593
594 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
595 [Steve Henson]
596
597 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
598 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
599 become part of libeay.num as well.
600 [Richard Levitte]
601
602 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
603 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
604 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
605 false once a handshake has been completed.
606 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
607 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
608 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
609 client has followed the request.)
610 [Bodo Moeller]
611
612 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
613 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
614 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
615 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
616
617 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
618 more bits available for options that should not be part of
619 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
620 [Bodo Moeller]
621
622 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
623 [Steve Henson]
624
625 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
626 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
627 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
628 [Lutz Jaenicke]
629
630 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
631 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
632 [Lutz Jaenicke]
633
634 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
635 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
636 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
637 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
638 [Geoff Thorpe]
639
640 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
641 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
642 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
643 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
644 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
645 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
646 [Geoff Thorpe]
647
648 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
649 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
650 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
651 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
652 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
653 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
654 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
655 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
656 [Geoff Thorpe]
657
658 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
659 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
660 [Geoff Thorpe]
661
662 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
663 [Ben Laurie]
664
665 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
666 md_data void pointer.
667 [Ben Laurie]
668
669 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
670 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
671 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
672 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
673 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
674 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
675 [Ben Laurie]
676
677 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
678 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
679 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
680 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
681 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
682 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
683 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
684 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
685 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
686 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
687 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
688 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
689 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
690 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
691 rather than letting it slide.
692
693 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
694 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
695 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
696 [Geoff Thorpe]
697
698 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
699 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
700 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
701 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
702 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
703 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
704 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
705 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
706 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
707 [Geoff Thorpe]
708
709 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
710 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
711 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
712 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
713 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
714
715 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
716 [Geoff Thorpe]
717
718 *) Add EVP test program.
719 [Ben Laurie]
720
721 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
722 [Ben Laurie]
723
724 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
725 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
726 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
727 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
728 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
729 [Steve Henson]
730
731 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
732 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
733 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
734 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
735 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
736 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
737 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
738
739 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
740 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
741 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
742 Usage example:
743
744 EVP_MD_CTX md;
745
746 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
747 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
748 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
749 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
750 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
751
752 [Ben Laurie]
753
754 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
755 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
756 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
757 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
758 anyway): E.g.,
759
760 des_key_schedule ks;
761
762 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
763 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
764
765 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
766 [Ben Laurie]
767
768 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
769 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
770 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
771 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
772 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
773 functions prevents this.
774 [Steve Henson]
775
776 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
777 [Ben Laurie]
778
779 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
780 correct _ecb suffix.
781 [Ben Laurie]
782
783 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
784 revocation information is handled using the text based index
785 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
786 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
787 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
788 [Steve Henson]
789
790 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
791 [Richard Levitte]
792
793 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
794 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
795 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
796 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
797
798 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
799 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
800
801 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
802 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
803 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
804 via Richard Levitte]
805
806 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
807 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
808 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
809 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
810 [Geoff Thorpe]
811
812 *) Speed up EVP routines.
813 Before:
814 encrypt
815 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
816 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
817 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k
818 des-cbc 4394.32k 5575.92k 5807.44k 5848.37k 5841.30k
819 decrypt

822 des-cbc 3483.72k 5067.62k 5504.60k 5708.01k 5724.80k
823 After:

826 decrypt
827 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
828 [Ben Laurie]
829
830 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
831 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
832
833 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
834 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
835 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
836 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
837 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
838 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
839 [Steve Henson]
840
841 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
842 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
843 [Richard Levitte]
844
845 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
846 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
847 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
848 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
849
850 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
851 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
852 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
853 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
854 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
855 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
856 callback.
857 [Richard Levitte]
858
859 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
860 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
861 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
862 and interrupts/cancellations.
863 [Richard Levitte]
864
865 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
866 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
867 [Steve Henson]
868
869 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
870 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
871 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
872
873 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
874 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
875 kind of callback.
876 [Richard Levitte]
877
878 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
879 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
880 than this minimum value is recommended.
881 [Lutz Jaenicke]
882
883 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
884 that are easily reachable.
885 [Richard Levitte]
886
887 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
888 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
889
890 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
891
892 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
893 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
894 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
895 needed for static libraries under Win32.
896 [Steve Henson]
897
898 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
899 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
900 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
901 [Steve Henson]
902
903 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
904 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
905 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
906 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
907 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
908 internally such as S/MIME.
909
910 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
911 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
912 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
913
914 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
915 applications.
916 [Steve Henson]
917
918 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
919 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
920 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
921 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
922
923 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
924
925 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
926
927 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
928 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
929 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
930 handling.
931 [Steve Henson]
932
933 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
934 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
935 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
936 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
937 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
938 a window system and the like.
939 [Richard Levitte]
940
941 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
942 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
943 [Geoff]
944
945 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
946 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
947 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
948 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
949 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
950 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
951 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
952 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
953 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
954 ENGINE structure.
955 [Geoff]
956
957 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
958 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
959 tag cache.
960 [Steve Henson]
961
962 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
963 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
964 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
965 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
966 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
967 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
968 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
969 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
970 [Geoff]
971
972 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
973 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
974 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
975 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
976 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
977 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
978 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
979 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
980 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
981 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
982 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
983 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
984 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
985 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
986 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
987 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
988 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
989 [Geoff]
990
991 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
992 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
993 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
994 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
995 internal engine_int.h header.
996 [Geoff]
997
998 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
999 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
1000 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
1001 modify their own ones).
1002 [Geoff]
1003
1004 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
1005 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
1006 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
1007 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
1008 later on via ctrl() commands.
1009 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
1010 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
1011 structural references.
1012 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
1013 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
1014 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
1015 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
1016 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
1017 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
1018 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
1019 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
1020 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
1021 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
1022 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
1023 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
1024 [Geoff]
1025
1026 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
1027 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
1028 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
1029 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
1030 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
1031 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
1032 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
1033 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
1034 [Bodo Moeller]
1035
1036 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
1037 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
1038 [Steve Henson]
1039
1040 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
1041 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
1042 [Steve Henson]
1043
1044 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
1045 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
1046 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
1047 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
1048 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
1049 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
1050 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
1051 [Steve Henson]
1052
1053 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
1054 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
1055 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
1056 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
1057 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
1058
1059 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
1060 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
1061 generator).
1062 [Bodo Moeller]
1063
1064 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
1065
1066 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
1067 operations and provides various method functions that can also
1068 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
1069
1070 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
1071 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
1072
1073 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
1074 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
1075 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
1076
1077 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
1078 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
1079
1080 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
1081 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
1082
1083 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
1084
1085 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
1086 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
1087 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
1088 [Bodo Moeller]
1089
1090 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
1091 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
1092 [Richard Levitte]
1093
1094 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
1095 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
1096 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
1097 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
1098 is 40 of more characters long.
1099 [Steve Henson]
1100
1101 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
1102 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
1103 pointers.
1104 [Steve Henson]
1105
1106 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
1107 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
1108 [Bodo Moeller]
1109
1110 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
1111 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
1112 might.
1113 [Steve Henson]
1114
1115 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
1116
1117 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
1118 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
1119
1120 ASN1 error codes
1121 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
1122 ...
1123 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
1124 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
1125 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
1126 ...
1127 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
1128 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
1129
1130 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
1131 [Bodo Moeller]
1132
1133 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
1134 suffices.
1135 [Bodo Moeller]
1136
1137 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
1138 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
1139 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
1140 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
1141 and
1142 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
1143
1144 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
1145 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
1146
1147 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
1148 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
1149 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
1150 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
1151 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
1152 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
1153
1154 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
1155 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
1156
1157 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
1158 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1159
1160 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
1161 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
1162
1163 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
1164 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
1165 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1166 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
1167
1168 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
1169 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
1170
1171 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
1172 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
1173
1174 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
1175 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
1176 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
1177 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
1178 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
1179 [Richard Levitte]
1180
1181 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
1182 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
1183 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
1184 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
1185 [Steve Henson]
1186
1187 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
1188 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
1189 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
1190 trust settings.
1191 [Steve Henson]
1192
1193 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
1194 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
1195 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
1196 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
1197 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
1198 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
1199 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
1200 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
1201 ocsp utility.
1202 [Steve Henson]
1203
1204 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
1205 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
1206 [Steve Henson]
1207
1208 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
1209 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
1210 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
1211 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
1212 [Steve Henson]
1213
1214 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
1215 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
1216 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
1217 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
1218 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
1219 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
1220 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
1221 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
1222 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
1223 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
1224 [Steve Henson]
1225
1226 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
1227 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
1228 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
1229 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
1230 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
1231 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
1232 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
1233 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
1234
1235 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
1236 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
1237 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
1238 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
1239 [Richard Levitte]
1240
1241 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
1242 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
1243 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
1244 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
1245 opensslconf.h.
1246 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
1247 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
1248 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
1249 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
1250 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
1251 what is available.
1252 [Richard Levitte]
1253
1254 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
1255 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
1256 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
1257 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
1258 auto incremented.
1259 [Steve Henson]
1260
1261 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
1262 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
1263 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
1264 [Steve Henson]
1265
1266 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
1267 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
1268 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
1269 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
1270 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
1271 [Steve Henson]
1272
1273 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
1274 [Steve Henson]
1275
1276 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
1277 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
1278 option to ocsp utility.
1279 [Steve Henson]
1280
1281 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
1282 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
1283 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
1284 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
1285 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
1286 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
1287 the request is nonce-less.
1288 [Steve Henson]
1289
1290 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
1291 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
1292 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
1293 [Bodo Moeller]
1294
1295 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
1296 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
1297 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
1298 [Steve Henson]
1299
1300 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
1301 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
1302 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
1303 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
1304 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
1305 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1306
1307 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
1308 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
1309 appear to exist.
1310 [Steve Henson]
1311
1312 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
1313 additional certificates supplied.
1314 [Steve Henson]
1315
1316 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
1317 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
1318 signature against.
1319 [Richard Levitte]
1320
1321 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
1322 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
1323 AES OIDs.
1324
1325 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
1326 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
1327 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
1328 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
1329 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
1330 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
1331 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
1332 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
1333 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1334
1335 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
1336 request to response.
1337 [Steve Henson]
1338
1339 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
1340 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
1341 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
1342 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
1343 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
1344 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
1345 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
1346 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
1347 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
1348 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
1349 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
1350 [Steve Henson]
1351
1352 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
1353 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
1354 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
1355 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
1356 [Steve Henson]
1357
1358 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
1359 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1360
1361 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
1362 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
1363 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
1364 [Steve Henson]
1365
1366 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
1367 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
1368 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
1369 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1370 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1371
1372 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
1373 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
1374 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
1375 [Steve Henson]
1376
1377 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
1378 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
1379 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
1380 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
1381 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
1382 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
1383 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1384 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1385
1386 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
1387 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
1388 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
1389 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
1390 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
1391 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
1392 [Steve Henson]
1393
1394 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
1395 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
1396 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
1397 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
1398 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
1399 printout format cleaned up.
1400 [Steve Henson]
1401
1402 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
1403 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
1404 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
1405 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
1406 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
1407 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
1408 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
1409 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
1410 [Steve Henson]
1411
1412 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
1413 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
1414 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
1415 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
1416 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
1417 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
1418 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
1419 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
1420 [Steve Henson]
1421
1422 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
1423 extensions from a separate configuration file.
1424 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
1425 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
1426 section to use.
1427 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1428
1429 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
1430 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
1431 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
1432 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
1433 [Steve Henson]
1434
1435 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
1436 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
1437 the given serial number (according to the index file).
1438 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
1439 in the index file.
1440 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1441
1442 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
1443 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
1444 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
1445 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1446
1447 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
1448 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
1449
1450 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
1451 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
1452 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
1453 [Steve Henson]
1454
1455 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
1456 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
1457 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
1458 [Bodo Moeller]
1459
1460 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
1461 file name and line number information in additional arguments
1462 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
1463 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
1464 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
1465 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
1466 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
1467 functions are provided:
1468
1469 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
1470 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
1471 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
1472 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
1473
1474 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
1475 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
1476 extended allocation function is enabled.
1477 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
1478 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
1479 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
1480
1481 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
1482 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
1483 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
1484 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
1485 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
1486 [Geoff Thorpe]
1487
1488 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
1489 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
1490 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
1491 be queried.
1492 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
1493 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
1494 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
1495 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1496
1497 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
1498 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
1499 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
1500 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
1501 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
1502 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
1503 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
1504 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
1505 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
1506 [Richard Levitte]
1507
1508 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
1509 provide utility functions which an application needing
1510 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
1511 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
1512 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
1513
1514 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
1515 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
1516 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
1517 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
1518 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
1519 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
1520 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
1521 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
1522 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
1523
1524 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
1525 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
1526 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
1527 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
1528 [Steve Henson]
1529
1530 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
1531 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
1532 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
1533 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
1534 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
1535 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
1536 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
1537 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
1538 will be added elsewhere.
1539 [Steve Henson]
1540
1541 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
1542 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
1543 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
1544 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
1545 [Steve Henson]
1546
1547 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
1548 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
1549 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
1550 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
1551 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
1552 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
1553 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
1554 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
1555 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
1556 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
1557 to produce the required SET OF.
1558 [Steve Henson]
1559
1560 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
1561 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
1562 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
1563 [Richard Levitte]
1564
1565 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
1566 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
1567 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
1568 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
1569 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
1570 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
1571 [Steve Henson]
1572
1573 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
1574 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
1575 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
1576 [Steve Henson]
1577
1578 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
1579 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
1580 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
1581 [Richard Levitte]
1582
1583 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
1584 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
1585 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
1586 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
1587 code will still work when these eventually go away.
1588 [Steve Henson]
1589
1590 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
1591 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
1592 [Steve Henson]
1593
1594 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
1595 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
1596 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
1597 certifcates and CRLs.
1598 [Steve Henson]
1599
1600 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
1601 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
1602 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
1603 [Steve Henson]
1604
1605 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
1606 entries for variables.
1607 [Steve Henson]
1608
1609 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
1610 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
1611 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
1612 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
1613 [Bodo Moeller]
1614
1615 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
1616 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
1617 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
1618 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
1619 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
1620 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
1621 [Bodo Moeller]
1622
1623 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
1624 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
1625
1626 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
1627 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
1628 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
1629 [Steve Henson]
1630
1631 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
1632 print routines.
1633 [Steve Henson]
1634
1635 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
1636 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
1637 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
1638 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
1639 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
1640 order did not reflect the encoded order.
1641 [Steve Henson]
1642
1643 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
1644 [Steve Henson]
1645
1646 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
1647 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
1648 for now but they will eventually go away.
1649 [Steve Henson]
1650
1651 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
1652 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
1653 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
1654 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
1655 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
1656 has also been converted to the new form.
1657 [Steve Henson]
1658
1659 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
1660 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
1661 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
1662 for negative moduli.
1663 [Bodo Moeller]
1664
1665 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
1666 of not touching the result's sign bit.
1667 [Bodo Moeller]
1668
1669 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
1670 set.
1671 [Bodo Moeller]
1672
1673 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
1674 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
1675 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
1676 type-specific callbacks.
1677 [Geoff Thorpe]
1678
1679 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
1680 RFC 2712.
1681 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1682 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
1683
1684 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
1685 in sections depending on the subject.
1686 [Richard Levitte]
1687
1688 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
1689 Windows.
1690 [Richard Levitte]
1691
1692 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
1693 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
1694 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
1695 be handled deterministically).
1696 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1697
1698 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
1699 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
1700 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
1701 [Bodo Moeller]
1702
1703 *) New function BN_kronecker.
1704 [Bodo Moeller]
1705
1706 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
1707 positive unless both parameters are zero.
1708 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
1709 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
1710 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
1711 [Bodo Moeller]
1712
1713 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
1714 sign of the number in question.
1715
1716 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
1717
1718 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
1719 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
1720 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
1721 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
1722 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
1723 [Bodo Moeller]
1724
1725 *) New function BN_swap.
1726 [Bodo Moeller]
1727
1728 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
1729 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
1730 results on negative inputs.
1731 [Bodo Moeller]
1732
1733 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
1734 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
1735 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
1736 [Bodo Moeller]
1737
1738 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
1739 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
1740 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
1741 and add new functions:
1742
1743 BN_nnmod
1744 BN_mod_sqr
1745 BN_mod_add
1746 BN_mod_add_quick
1747 BN_mod_sub
1748 BN_mod_sub_quick
1749 BN_mod_lshift1
1750 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
1751 BN_mod_lshift
1752 BN_mod_lshift_quick
1753
1754 These functions always generate non-negative results.
1755
1756 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
1757 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
1758
1759 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
1760 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
1761 be reduced modulo m.
1762 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1763
1764 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1765 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1766 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1767 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1768 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1769 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1770 differing sizes.
1771 [Richard Levitte]
1772
1773 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
1774 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
1775 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
1776 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
1777 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
1778
1779 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
1780 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
1781 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
1782 cause any problems.
1783 [Bodo Moeller]
1784
1785 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
1786 [Richard Levitte]
1787
1788 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
1789 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
1790 [Richard Levitte]
1791
1792 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
1793 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
1794 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
1795 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
1796 time)
1797 [Richard Levitte]
1798
1799 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
1800 [Richard Levitte]
1801
1802 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
1803 [Richard Levitte]
1804
1805 *) Add the following functions:
1806
1807 ENGINE_load_cswift()
1808 ENGINE_load_chil()
1809 ENGINE_load_atalla()
1810 ENGINE_load_nuron()
1811 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
1812
1813 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
1814 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
1815 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
1816 libraries unless it's really needed.
1817
1818 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
1819 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
1820 declarations (they differed!).
1821 [Richard Levitte]
1822
1823 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
1824 [Richard Levitte]
1825
1826 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
1827 [Richard Levitte]
1828
1829 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
1830 [Bodo Moeller]
1831
1832 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
1833 identity, and test if they are actually available.
1834 [Richard Levitte]
1835
1836 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
1837 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
1838 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1839
1840 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
1841 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
1842 [Richard Levitte]
1843
1844 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
1845 [Richard Levitte]
1846
1847 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
1848 [Richard Levitte]
1849
1850 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
1851 [Ben Laurie]
1852
1853 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
1854 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
1855 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
1856
1857 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
1858 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
1859 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
1860 different shared library filenames on each system.
1861 [Geoff Thorpe]
1862
1863 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
1864 [Richard Levitte]
1865
1866 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
1867 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
1868 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
1869 of two sections.
1870 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
1871
1872 *) NCONF changes.
1873 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
1874 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
1875 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
1876 binary backward compatibility.
1877 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
1878 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
1879 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
1880 LDAP server.
1881 [Richard Levitte]
1882
1883 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
1884 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
1885 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
1886 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
1887 this case.
1888 [Steve Henson]
1889
1890 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
1891 [Ben Laurie]
1892
1893 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
1894 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
1895 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
1896 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
1897 set.
1898 [Steve Henson]
1899
1900 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
1901 [Richard Levitte]
1902
1903 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [XX xxx XXXX]
1904
1905 *)
1906
1907 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
1908
1909 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
1910 and get fix the header length calculation.
1911 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
1912 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
1913 Steve Henson]
1914
1915 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
1916 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
1917 assertions could call abort()).
1918 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
1919
1920 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
1921
1922 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
1923 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
1924 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
1925 supplied buffer.
1926 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
1927
1928 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
1929 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
1930 by the selection routines (PR #130).
1931 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1932
1933 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
1934 [Nils Larsch]
1935
1936 *) New option
1937 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
1938 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
1939 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
1940
1941 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
1942 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
1943 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
1944 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
1945 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
1946 applications.
1947 [Bodo Moeller]
1948
1949 *) Changes in security patch:
1950
1951 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
1952 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
1953 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
1954 F30602-01-2-0537.
1955
1956 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
1957 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
1958 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
1959 supplied buffer. (CAN-2002-0659)
1960 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
1961
1962 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
1963 happen in practice.
1964 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1965
1966 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
1967 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CAN-2002-0655)
1968 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
1969
1970 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
1971 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
1972 (CAN-2002-0657)
1973 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1974
1975 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
1976 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CAN-2002-0656)
1977 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1978
1979 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
1980 supply an oversized client master key. (CAN-2002-0656)
1981 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1982
1983 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
1984
1985 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
1986 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
1987 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
1988
1989 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
1990 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1991
1992 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
1993 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
1994 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
1995 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
1996 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
1997 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
1998 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1999
2000 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
2001 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
2002 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
2003 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
2004 [Bodo Moeller]
2005
2006 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
2007 [Bodo Moeller]
2008
2009 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
2010 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
2011 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
2012 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
2013 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
2014 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
2015
2016 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
2017 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
2018 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
2019 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
2020 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
2021 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2022
2023 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
2024 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
2025 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
2026 BN_generate_prime().)
2027
2028 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
2029 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
2030 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
2031 better.
2032 [Bodo Moeller]
2033
2034 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
2035 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
2036 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2037
2038 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
2039 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
2040 when using non-blocking I/O.
2041 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
2042
2043 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
2044 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
2045
2046 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
2047 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
2048 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2049
2050 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
2051 configuration for the versions before that.
2052 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2053
2054 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
2055 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
2056 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
2057 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
2058 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2059
2060 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
2061 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
2062 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
2063 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2064
2065 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
2066 value is 0.
2067 [Richard Levitte]
2068
2069 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
2070 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
2071
2072 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
2073 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2074 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2075
2076 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
2077 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
2078 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
2079 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
2080 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
2081 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
2082 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
2083 session cache.
2084
2085 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
2086 using a local variable.
2087 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2088
2089 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
2090 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
2091 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2092
2093 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
2094 [Richard Levitte]
2095
2096 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
2097 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
2098
2099 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
2100 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
2101 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
2102
2103 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
2104
2105 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
2106 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
2107 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
2108 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
2109 [Bodo Moeller]
2110
2111 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
2112 present.
2113 [Steve Henson]
2114
2115 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
2116 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
2117 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
2118 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
2119 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
2120
2121 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
2122 returns early because it has nothing to do.
2123 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2124
2125 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2126 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
2127 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2128
2129 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2130 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
2131 (Use engine 'keyclient')
2132 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
2133
2134 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
2135 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
2136 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
2137 modules).
2138 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
2139
2140 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2141 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
2142 from 0.9.7.
2143 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
2144
2145 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2146 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
2147 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2148 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
2149
2150 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2151 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
2152 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2153 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
2154
2155 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
2156 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
2157
2158 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
2159 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
2160 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
2161 [Bodo Moeller]
2162
2163 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
2164 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
2165 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
2166 become invalid.
2167 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
2168
2169 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
2170 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
2171 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
2172 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
2173 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
2174 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
2175 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
2176 [Bodo Moeller]
2177
2178 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
2179 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
2180 one of the SSL handshake functions.
2181 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
2182
2183 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
2184 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
2185 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
2186 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
2187 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
2188 the client will at least see that alert.
2189 [Bodo Moeller]
2190
2191 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
2192 correctly.
2193 [Bodo Moeller]
2194
2195 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
2196 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
2197 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2198
2199 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
2200 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
2201 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
2202 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
2203 HelloRequest.
2204
2205 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
2206 before just sending a HelloRequest.
2207 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
2208
2209 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
2210 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
2211 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
2212 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
2213 may leak via logfiles.)
2214
2215 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
2216 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
2217 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
2218 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
2219 the legal range.
2220 [Bodo Moeller]
2221
2222 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
2223 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2224 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2225
2226 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
2227 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
2228 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
2229 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
2230 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
2231 [Bodo Moeller]
2232
2233 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
2234 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
2235
2236 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
2237 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
2238 followed by modular reduction.
2239 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
2240
2241 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
2242 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
2243 [Bodo Moeller]
2244
2245 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
2246 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
2247 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
2248 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
2249 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2250
2251 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
2252 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2253
2254 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
2255 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
2256 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2257
2258 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
2259 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
2260 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
2261 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
2262 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
2263 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
2264 automatically.
2265 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
2266
2267 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
2268 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
2269 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
2270 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
2271 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
2272
2273 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
2274 [Andy Polyakov]
2275
2276 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
2277 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
2278 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
2279 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
2280 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
2281 to allow the necessary settings.
2282 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2283
2284 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
2285 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
2286 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
2287 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
2288 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2289
2290 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
2291 dh->length and always used
2292
2293 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
2294
2295 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
2296 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
2297 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
2298 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
2299 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
2300 dh->length.
2301
2302 So switch back to
2303
2304 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
2305
2306 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
2307 otherwise.
2308 [Bodo Moeller]
2309
2310 *) In
2311
2312 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
2313 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
2314 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
2315 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
2316
2317 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
2318 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
2319 always reject numbers >= n.
2320 [Bodo Moeller]
2321
2322 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
2323 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
2324 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
2325 variable) is not atomic.
2326 [Bodo Moeller]
2327
2328 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
2329 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
2330 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
2331 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
2332
2333 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
2334 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
2335
2336 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
2337 little-endian MIPS.
2338 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
2339
2340 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
2341 [Richard Levitte]
2342
2343 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
2344
2345 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
2346 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
2347 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
2348 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
2349 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
2350 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
2351 to traverse all of 'state'.
2352
2353 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
2354 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
2355 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
2356
2357 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
2358 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
2359
2360 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
2361 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
2362 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
2363 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
2364 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
2365 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
2366 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
2367 further strengthens the PRNG.
2368 [Bodo Moeller]
2369
2370 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
2371 [Andy Polyakov]
2372
2373 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
2374 an error message in this case.
2375 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2376
2377 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
2378 [Steve Henson]
2379
2380 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
2381 positive and less than q.
2382 [Bodo Moeller]
2383
2384 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
2385 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
2386 that itself.
2387 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
2388
2389 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
2390 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
2391 [Bodo Moeller]
2392
2393 *) Fix OAEP check.
2394 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
2395
2396 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
2397 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
2398 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
2399 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
2400 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
2401 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
2402 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
2403 paper.)
2404
2405 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
2406 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
2407 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
2408 detect the supposedly ignored error.
2409
2410 Both problems are now fixed.
2411 [Bodo Moeller]
2412
2413 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
2414 (previously it was 1024).
2415 [Bodo Moeller]
2416
2417 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
2418 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
2419 [Steve Henson]
2420
2421 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
2422 [Steve Henson]
2423
2424 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
2425 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
2426 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
2427 [Steve Henson]
2428
2429 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
2430 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
2431 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
2432 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
2433 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
2434 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
2435 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
2436 environment variables.
2437
2438 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
2439 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
2440 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
2441 [Bodo Moeller]
2442
2443 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
2444 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
2445 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
2446 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
2447 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
2448 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
2449 [Bodo Moeller]
2450
2451 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
2452 versions of 'test'.
2453 [Bodo Moeller]
2454
2455 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
2456
2457 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
2458 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
2459
2460 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
2461 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
2462 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
2463 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
2464 CygWin.
2465 [Richard Levitte]
2466
2467 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
2468 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
2469 amount of data available.
2470 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
2471 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2472
2473 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
2474 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
2475 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
2476 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
2477 [Bodo Moeller]
2478
2479 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
2480 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
2481 and UnixWare.
2482 [Richard Levitte]
2483
2484 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
2485 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
2486 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
2487 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
2488 [Ulf Moeller]
2489
2490 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
2491 [Andy Polyakov]
2492
2493 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
2494 [Richard Levitte]
2495
2496 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
2497 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
2498 [Steve Henson]
2499 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2500
2501 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
2502 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
2503 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
2504 (but broken) behaviour.
2505 [Steve Henson]
2506
2507 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
2508 it when found.
2509 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
2510
2511 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
2512 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
2513 [Bodo Moeller]
2514
2515 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
2516 did not exist.
2517 [Bodo Moeller]
2518
2519 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
2520 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
2521
2522 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
2523 [Richard Levitte]
2524
2525 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
2526 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
2527 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
2528
2529 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
2530 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
2531 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
2532 [Steve Henson]
2533
2534 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
2535 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
2536 [Ulf Moeller]
2537
2538 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
2539 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
2540
2541 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
2542
2543 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
2544
2545 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
2546 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
2547 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
2548 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
2549 [Bodo Moeller]
2550
2551 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
2552 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2553
2554 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
2555 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
2556 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
2557
2558 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
2559 was empty.
2560 [Steve Henson]
2561 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2562
2563 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
2564 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
2565 but the code is actually correct.
2566 [Steve Henson]
2567
2568 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
2569 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
2570 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
2571 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
2572 and leaves the highest bit random.
2573 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
2574
2575 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
2576 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
2577 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
2578 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
2579 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
2580 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
2581 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
2582 [Bodo Moeller]
2583
2584 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
2585 [Ulf Moeller]
2586
2587 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
2588 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
2589 [Steve Henson]
2590
2591 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
2592 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
2593 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
2594 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
2595 headers.
2596 [Richard Levitte]
2597
2598 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
2599 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
2600 and break the signature.
2601 [Steve Henson]
2602 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2603
2604 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
2605 DH ciphersuites.
2606 [Steve Henson]
2607
2608 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
2609 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
2610 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
2611 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
2612 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
2613 [Bodo Moeller]
2614
2615 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
2616 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
2617
2618 *) ./config script fixes.
2619 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
2620
2621 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
2622 [Bodo Moeller]
2623
2624 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
2625 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
2626 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
2627 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
2628 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
2629
2630 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
2631 call failed, free the DSA structure.
2632 [Bodo Moeller]
2633
2634 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
2635 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
2636 [Steve Henson]
2637
2638 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
2639 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
2640 when writing a 32767 byte record.
2641 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
2642
2643 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
2644 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
2645
2646 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
2647 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
2648 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
2649 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
2650 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
2651
2652 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
2653 [Bodo Moeller]
2654
2655 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
2656 [Ulf Möller]
2657
2658 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
2659 [Ulf Möller]
2660
2661 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
2662 [Bodo Moeller]
2663
2664 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
2665 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
2666 [Bodo Moeller]
2667
2668 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
2669 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
2670 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
2671 result of the server certificate verification.)
2672 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2673
2674 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
2675 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
2676 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
2677 [Bodo Moeller]
2678
2679 *) Fix SSL_peek:
2680 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
2681 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
2682 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
2683 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
2684 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
2685 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
2686 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
2687 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
2688 [Bodo Moeller]
2689
2690 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
2691 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
2692 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
2693 happening the other way round.
2694 [Geoff Thorpe]
2695
2696 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
2697 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
2698 [Bodo Moeller]
2699
2700 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
2701 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
2702 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
2703 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
2704 [Richard Levitte]
2705
2706 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
2707 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
2708
2709 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
2710
2711 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
2712 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
2713 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
2714 that.
2715
2716 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
2717
2718 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
2719
2720 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
2721 static ones.
2722 [Richard Levitte]
2723
2724 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
2725
2726 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
2727 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
2728 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
2729 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
2730 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
2731
2732 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
2733 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
2734 matter what.
2735 [Richard Levitte]
2736
2737 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
2738 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2739
2740 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
2741
2742 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
2743 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
2744 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
2745 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
2746 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
2747 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
2748 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
2749 by the Finished messages.
2750 [Bodo Moeller]
2751
2752 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
2753 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
2754
2755 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
2756 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
2757 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
2758 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
2759 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
2760 appropriately.
2761 [Steve Henson]
2762
2763 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
2764 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
2765 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
2766 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
2767 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
2768 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
2769 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
2770 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
2771 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
2772 together.
2773 [Steve Henson]
2774
2775 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
2776 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
2777 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
2778 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
2779
2780 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
2781 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
2782 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
2783 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
2784 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
2785 the answer.
2786
2787 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
2788 been tested well enough.
2789 [Richard Levitte]
2790
2791 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
2792 it can return incorrect results.
2793 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
2794 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
2795 [Bodo Moeller]
2796
2797 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
2798 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
2799 include zero length content when signing messages.
2800 [Steve Henson]
2801
2802 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
2803 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
2804 [Bodo Möller]
2805
2806 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
2807 [Richard Levitte]
2808
2809 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
2810 wrong sign.
2811 [Ulf Möller]
2812
2813 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
2814 packages. The default package contains applications, application
2815 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
2816 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
2817 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
2818 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
2819 [Richard Levitte]
2820
2821 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
2822 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
2823
2824 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
2825 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
2826
2827 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
2828 random number < q in the DSA library.
2829 [Ulf Möller]
2830
2831 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
2832 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
2833 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
2834 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
2835 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
2836 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
2837 just makes things more complicated.)
2838 [Bodo Moeller]
2839
2840 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
2841 from EGD.
2842 [Ben Laurie]
2843
2844 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
2845 work better on such systems.
2846 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
2847
2848 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
2849 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
2850 keyid to the certificates aux info.
2851 [Steve Henson]
2852
2853 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
2854 if there was more than one signature.
2855 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
2856
2857 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
2858 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
2859 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
2860 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
2861 [Richard Levitte]
2862
2863 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
2864 rather than always using the current time.
2865 [Steve Henson]
2866
2867 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
2868 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
2869 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
2870 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
2871 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
2872 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
2873
2874 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
2875 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
2876
2877 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
2878
2879 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
2880 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
2881 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
2882 the same hash value.
2883
2884 As a result various functions (which were all internal
2885 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
2886 structure. This will break anything that messed round
2887 with X509_STORE internally.
2888
2889 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
2890 exact match, rather than just subject name.
2891
2892 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
2893 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
2894 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
2895 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
2896 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
2897 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
2898 entirely (maybe later...).
2899
2900 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
2901
2902 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
2903 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
2904 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
2905 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
2906 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
2907 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
2908 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
2909 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
2910
2911 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
2912 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2913
2914 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
2915 to customise the verify behaviour.
2916 [Steve Henson]
2917
2918 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
2919 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
2920 [Steve Henson]
2921
2922 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
2923 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
2924 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
2925 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
2926 request is improperly encoded.
2927 [Steve Henson]
2928
2929 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
2930 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
2931 BIO_write(b, ...).
2932
2933 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
2934 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
2935
2936 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
2937 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
2938 words set to zero.)
2939 [Bodo Moeller]
2940
2941 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
2942 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
2943 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
2944 [Bodo Moeller]
2945
2946 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
2947 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
2948 BIO/fp routines also added.
2949 [Steve Henson]
2950
2951 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
2952 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
2953
2954 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
2955 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
2956 demos/state_machine.
2957 [Ben Laurie]
2958
2959 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
2960 generation and verification.
2961 [Steve Henson]
2962
2963 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
2964 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
2965 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
2966 encode and decode it manually.
2967 [Steve Henson]
2968
2969 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
2970 compile under VC++.
2971 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
2972
2973 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
2974 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
2975 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
2976 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
2977
2978 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
2979 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
2980 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
2981 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
2982 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
2983 [Steve Henson]
2984
2985 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
2986 [Richard Levitte]
2987
2988 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
2989 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
2990 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
2991
2992 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
2993 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
2994 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
2995 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
2996 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
2997 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
2998 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
2999 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
3000
3001 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
3002 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
3003
3004 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
3005
3006 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
3007 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
3008 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
3009
3010 [Richard Levitte]
3011
3012 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
3013 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
3014 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
3015 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
3016 [Richard Levitte]
3017
3018 *) MD4 implemented.
3019 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
3020
3021 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
3022 [Richard Levitte]
3023
3024 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
3025 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
3026 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
3027 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
3028 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
3029 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
3030 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
3031 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
3032 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
3033 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
3034 short or long names are found.
3035 [Steve Henson]
3036
3037 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
3038 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
3039
3040 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
3041 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
3042 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
3043 version rollback attacks was not effective.
3044
3045 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
3046 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
3047 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
3048 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
3049 [Bodo Moeller]
3050
3051 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
3052 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
3053 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
3054 [Richard Levitte]
3055
3056 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
3057 these print out strings and name structures based on various
3058 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
3059 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
3060 to allow the various flags to be set.
3061 [Steve Henson]
3062
3063 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
3064 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
3065 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
3066 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
3067 dates to be checked.
3068 [Steve Henson]
3069
3070 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
3071 negative public key encodings) on by default,
3072 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
3073 [Steve Henson]
3074
3075 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
3076 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
3077 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
3078 [Steve Henson]
3079
3080 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
3081 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
3082 [Bodo Moeller]
3083
3084 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
3085 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
3086 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
3087 are always statically linked for now, but there are
3088 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
3089 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
3090 [Richard Levitte]
3091
3092 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
3093 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
3094 Random Numbers.
3095 [Ulf Möller]
3096
3097 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
3098 DSA key.
3099 [Steve Henson]
3100
3101 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
3102 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
3103 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
3104 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
3105 form signing output easier to verify.
3106 [Steve Henson]
3107
3108 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
3109 [Steve Henson]
3110
3111 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
3112 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
3113 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
3114 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
3115 are needed because all other string types have virtually
3116 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
3117 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
3118 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
3119 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
3120 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
3121 [Steve Henson]
3122
3123 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
3124
3125 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
3126 the syntax given in objects.README.
3127 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
3128 obj_mac.h.
3129 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
3130 obj_mac.h.
3131
3132 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
3133 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
3134 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
3135 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
3136 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
3137 consistent name changes.
3138 [Richard Levitte]
3139
3140 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
3141 [Bodo Moeller]
3142
3143 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
3144 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
3145 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
3146 environment variable, or the default random state file.
3147 [Richard Levitte]
3148
3149 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
3150 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
3151 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
3152 of safestack.h .
3153 [Steve Henson]
3154
3155 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
3156 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
3157 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
3158 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
3159 [Steve Henson]
3160
3161 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
3162 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
3163 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
3164 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
3165 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
3166 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
3167 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
3168 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
3169 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
3170 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
3171 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
3172 [Steve Henson]
3173
3174 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
3175 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
3176 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
3177 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
3178 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
3179 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
3180 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
3181 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
3182 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
3183 algorithm to openssl-dev.
3184 [Steve Henson]
3185
3186 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
3187 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
3188 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
3189 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
3190
3191 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
3192 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
3193 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
3194 omit any duplicate addresses.
3195 [Steve Henson]
3196
3197 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
3198 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
3199 [Bodo Moeller]
3200
3201 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
3202 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
3203 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
3204 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
3205 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
3206 [Bodo Moeller]
3207
3208 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
3209 software:
3210 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
3211 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
3212 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
3213 Free => OPENSSL_free
3214 [Richard Levitte]
3215
3216 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
3217 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
3218 [Bodo Moeller]
3219
3220 *) CygWin32 support.
3221 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
3222
3223 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
3224 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
3225 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
3226 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
3227 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
3228 approach.
3229 [Geoff Thorpe]
3230
3231 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
3232 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
3233 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
3234 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
3235 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
3236 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
3237 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
3238 [Geoff Thorpe]
3239
3240 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
3241 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
3242 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
3243 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
3244 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
3245 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
3246 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
3247 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
3248 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
3249 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
3250 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
3251 [Bodo Moeller]
3252
3253 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
3254 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
3255 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
3256 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
3257 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
3258
3259 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
3260 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
3261 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
3262 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
3263 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
3264
3265 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
3266 ciphers.
3267
3268 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
3269 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
3270 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
3271 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
3272
3273 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
3274
3275 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
3276 of macros.
3277
3278 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
3279 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
3280 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
3281 flags.
3282
3283 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
3284 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
3285 any installed hardware versions can.
3286 [Steve Henson]
3287
3288 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
3289 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
3290 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
3291 number.
3292 [Bodo Moeller]
3293
3294 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
3295 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
3296 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
3297 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
3298 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
3299
3300 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
3301 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
3302 [Steve Henson]
3303
3304 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
3305 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
3306 [Richard Levitte]
3307
3308 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
3309 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
3310 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
3311 features.
3312 [Steve Henson]
3313
3314 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
3315 [Ulf Möller]
3316
3317 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
3318 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
3319 but no ssl client purpose.
3320 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
3321
3322 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
3323 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
3324 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
3325 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
3326 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
3327 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
3328 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
3329 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
3330 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
3331 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
3332 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
3333 [Steve Henson]
3334
3335 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
3336 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
3337 be obtained from the error queue.
3338 [Bodo Moeller]
3339
3340 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
3341 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
3342 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
3343 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
3344 [Bodo Moeller]
3345
3346 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
3347 [Ulf Möller]
3348
3349 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
3350 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
3351 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
3352 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
3353 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
3354 [Geoff Thorpe]
3355
3356 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
3357 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
3358 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
3359 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
3360 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
3361 [Geoff Thorpe]
3362
3363 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
3364 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
3365 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
3366 may not be NULL.
3367 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
3368
3369 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
3370 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
3371 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
3372 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
3373 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
3374 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
3375 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
3376 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
3377 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
3378 or "the configuration storage API"...
3379
3380 The new configuration file reading functions are:
3381
3382 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
3383 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
3384
3385 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
3386
3387 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
3388
3389 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
3390 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
3391 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
3392 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
3393 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
3394 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
3395 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
3396
3397 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
3398 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
3399 [Richard Levitte]
3400
3401 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
3402 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
3403 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
3404 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
3405 [Bodo Moeller]
3406
3407 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
3408 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
3409 them in a portable way.
3410 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
3411
3412 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
3413
3414 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
3415
3416 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
3417 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
3418
3419 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
3420 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
3421 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
3422 <attili@amaxo.com>]
3423
3424 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
3425 was larger than the MD block size.
3426 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
3427
3428 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
3429 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
3430 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
3431 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
3432 components.
3433 [Steve Henson]
3434
3435 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
3436 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
3437 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
3438
3439 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
3440 discouraged.
3441 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
3442
3443 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
3444 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
3445 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
3446 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
3447 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
3448 Additional arguments are always ignored.
3449
3450 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
3451 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
3452
3453 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
3454 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
3455 [Bodo Moeller]
3456
3457 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
3458 [Bodo Moeller]
3459
3460 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
3461 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
3462 its own key.
3463 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
3464 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
3465 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
3466 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
3467 [Bodo Moeller]
3468
3469 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
3470 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
3471 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
3472 does not suppress any output.
3473 [Richard Levitte]
3474
3475 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
3476 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
3477 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
3478 with all the associated security issues.
3479
3480 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
3481 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
3482 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
3483 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
3484 use the value in the default purpose.
3485 [Steve Henson]
3486
3487 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
3488 and fix a memory leak.
3489 [Steve Henson]
3490
3491 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
3492 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
3493 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
3494 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
3495 [Bodo Moeller]
3496
3497 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
3498 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
3499 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
3500 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
3501 [Bodo Moeller]
3502
3503 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
3504 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
3505 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
3506 [Bodo Moeller]
3507
3508 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
3509 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
3510 [Bodo Moeller]
3511
3512 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
3513 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
3514 which was free.
3515 [Steve Henson]
3516
3517 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
3518 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
3519 [Bodo Moeller]
3520
3521 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
3522 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
3523 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
3524 [Bodo Moeller]
3525
3526 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
3527 number generation fails.
3528 [Bodo Moeller]
3529
3530 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
3531 [Bodo Moeller]
3532
3533 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
3534 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
3535
3536 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
3537 [Ulf Möller]
3538
3539 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
3540 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
3541
3542 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
3543 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
3544
3545 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
3546
3547 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
3548 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
3549 [Steve Henson]
3550
3551 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
3552 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
3553
3554 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
3555 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
3556 [Ulf Möller]
3557
3558 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
3559 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
3560 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
3561 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
3562 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
3563 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
3564
3565 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
3566 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
3567 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
3568 for example.
3569 [Steve Henson]
3570
3571 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
3572 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
3573 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
3574 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
3575 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
3576 counter, some don't.)
3577 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
3578 counters or duplicate objects.
3579 [Steve Henson]
3580
3581 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
3582 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
3583 [Steve Henson]
3584
3585 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
3586 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
3587 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
3588
3589 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
3590 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
3591 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
3592 or -rand.
3593 [Ulf Möller]
3594
3595 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
3596 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
3597 [Steve Henson]
3598
3599 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
3600 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
3601 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
3602 cipher list.
3603 [Steve Henson]
3604
3605 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
3606 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
3607 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
3608 [Steve Henson]
3609
3610 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
3611 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
3612 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
3613 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
3614 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
3615 should work without changes.
3616 [Richard Levitte]
3617
3618 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
3619 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
3620 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
3621 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
3622 must be defined. E.g.,
3623 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
3624 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
3625 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
3626 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
3627
3628 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
3629 record layer.
3630 [Bodo Moeller]
3631
3632 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
3633 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
3634 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
3635 [Steve Henson]
3636
3637 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
3638 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
3639 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
3640 request header lines. Some software needs this.
3641 [Steve Henson]
3642
3643 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
3644 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
3645 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
3646 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
3647 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
3648 is prompted for as usual.
3649 [Steve Henson]
3650
3651 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
3652 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
3653 autodetect the card and use it if present.
3654 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
3655
3656 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
3657 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
3658 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
3659 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
3660 [Steve Henson]
3661
3662 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
3663 [Andy Polyakov]
3664
3665 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
3666 of seed file.
3667 [Steve Henson]
3668
3669 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
3670 [Bodo Moeller]
3671
3672 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
3673 [Steve Henson]
3674
3675 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
3676 bits.
3677 [Ulf Möller]
3678
3679 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
3680 [Ulf Möller]
3681
3682 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
3683 [Andy Polyakov]
3684
3685 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
3686 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
3687 [Ulf Möller]
3688
3689 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
3690 options to produce them.
3691 [Steve Henson]
3692
3693 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
3694 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
3695 [Ulf Möller]
3696
3697 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
3698 for p == 0.
3699 [Ulf Möller]
3700
3701 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
3702 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
3703 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
3704 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
3705 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
3706 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
3707 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
3708 [Steve Henson]
3709
3710 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
3711 [Steve Henson]
3712
3713 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
3714 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
3715 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
3716 [Bodo Moeller]
3717
3718 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
3719 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
3720
3721 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
3722 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
3723 [Ulf Möller]
3724
3725 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
3726 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
3727 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
3728 has already seen).
3729 [Bodo Moeller]
3730
3731 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
3732 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
3733
3734 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
3735 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
3736 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
3737 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
3738 generation becomes much faster.
3739
3740 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
3741 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
3742 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
3743 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
3744 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
3745 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
3746 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
3747 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
3748 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
3749 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
3750 [Bodo Moeller]
3751
3752 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
3753 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
3754 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
3755 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
3756 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
3757 trial division stage.
3758 [Bodo Moeller]
3759
3760 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
3761 as ASN1_TIME.
3762 [Steve Henson]
3763
3764 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
3765 [Steve Henson]
3766
3767 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
3768 [Ulf Möller]
3769
3770 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
3771 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
3772 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
3773 the comments.
3774 [Ulf Möller]
3775
3776 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
3777 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
3778 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
3779 [Bodo Moeller]
3780
3781 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
3782 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
3783 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
3784 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
3785
3786 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
3787 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
3788 [Steve Henson]
3789
3790 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
3791 [Ulf Möller]
3792
3793 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
3794 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
3795 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
3796 Rabin-Miller iterations.
3797 [Ulf Möller]
3798
3799 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
3800 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
3801 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
3802 [Ulf Möller]
3803
3804 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
3805 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
3806 (instead of parameters) in future.
3807 [Steve Henson]
3808
3809 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
3810 when a new cipher list is set.
3811 [Steve Henson]
3812
3813 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
3814 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
3815 wrong.
3816
3817 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
3818 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
3819 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
3820
3821 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
3822 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
3823 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
3824 an error is flagged.
3825
3826 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
3827 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
3828 the readability was also increased :-)
3829 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
3830
3831 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
3832 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
3833 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
3834 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
3835 as the root CA.
3836 [Steve Henson]
3837
3838 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
3839 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
3840 [Steve Henson]
3841
3842 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
3843 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
3844 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
3845 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
3846 instead.
3847
3848 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
3849 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
3850 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
3851 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
3852 because they handle more complex structures.)
3853 [Steve Henson]
3854
3855 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
3856 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
3857 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
3858 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
3859
3860 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
3861 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
3862 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
3863 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
3864 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
3865 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
3866 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
3867 [Ulf Möller]
3868
3869 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
3870 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
3871 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
3872 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
3873 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
3874 [Bodo Moeller]
3875
3876 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
3877 [Bodo Moeller]
3878
3879 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
3880 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
3881 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
3882 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
3883 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
3884 to use this.
3885
3886 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
3887 code.
3888 [Steve Henson]
3889
3890 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
3891 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
3892 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
3893 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
3894 [Steve Henson]
3895
3896 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
3897 [Ulf Möller]
3898
3899 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
3900 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
3901 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
3902 international characters are used.
3903
3904 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
3905 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
3906 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
3907 in ASN1 order.
3908 [Steve Henson]
3909
3910 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
3911 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
3912 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
3913 request.
3914
3915 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
3916 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
3917 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
3918 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
3919 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
3920 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
3921
3922 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
3923 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
3924 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
3925 be handled by the string table functions.
3926
3927 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
3928 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
3929 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
3930 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
3931 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
3932 types at all.
3933 [Steve Henson]
3934
3935 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
3936 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
3937 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
3938 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
3939 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
3940
3941 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
3942 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
3943 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
3944 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
3945 [Bodo Moeller]
3946
3947 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
3948 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
3949 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
3950 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
3951 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
3952 SHA1.
3953 [Andy Polyakov]
3954
3955 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
3956 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
3957 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
3958 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
3959 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
3960 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
3961 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
3962 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
3963
3964 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
3965 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
3966 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
3967 [Steve Henson]
3968
3969 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
3970 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
3971 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
3972 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
3973 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
3974 support to pkcs8 application.
3975 [Steve Henson]
3976
3977 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
3978 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
3979 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
3980 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
3981 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
3982 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
3983 [Bodo Moeller]
3984
3985 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
3986 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
3987 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
3988 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
3989 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
3990 consistency.
3991 [Bodo Moeller]
3992
3993 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
3994 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
3995 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
3996 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
3997 example.
3998 [Steve Henson]
3999
4000 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
4001 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
4002 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
4003 and any application specific purposes.
4004
4005 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
4006 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
4007 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
4008 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
4009 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
4010 if the certificate is self signed.
4011 [Steve Henson]
4012
4013 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
4014 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
4015 [Steve Henson]
4016
4017 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
4018 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
4019 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
4020 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
4021 [Steve Henson]
4022
4023 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
4024 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
4025 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
4026 Update documentation.
4027 [Steve Henson]
4028
4029 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
4030 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
4031 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
4032 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
4033 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
4034 [Steve Henson]
4035
4036 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
4037 for details.
4038 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
4039
4040 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
4041 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
4042 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
4043 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
4044 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
4045 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
4046 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
4047 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
4048 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
4049 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
4050
4051 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
4052
4053 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
4054 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
4055 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
4056 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
4057 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
4058
4059 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
4060 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
4061 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
4062 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
4063 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
4064 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
4065 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
4066 request additional information:
4067 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
4068 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
4069
4070 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
4071 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
4072 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
4073 options.
4074
4075 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
4076 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
4077
4078 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
4079 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
4080 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
4081
4082 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
4083 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4084
4085 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
4086 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
4087 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
4088 algorithm.
4089 [Steve Henson]
4090
4091 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
4092 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
4093 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
4094
4095 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
4096 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
4097 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
4098 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
4099 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
4100 included in OpenSSL.
4101 [Steve Henson]
4102
4103 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
4104 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
4105 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
4106 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
4107 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
4108 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
4109 [Bodo Moeller]
4110
4111 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
4112 PKCS12 structure.
4113 [Steve Henson]
4114
4115 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
4116 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
4117 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
4118 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
4119 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
4120 structure.
4121 [Steve Henson]
4122
4123 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
4124 need initialising.
4125 [Steve Henson]
4126
4127 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
4128 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
4129 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
4130 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
4131 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
4132 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
4133 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
4134 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
4135 be maintained manually.
4136
4137 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
4138 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
4139 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
4140 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
4141 work because people forget to call this function]
4142 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
4143 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
4144 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
4145 [Steve Henson]
4146
4147 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
4148 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
4149 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
4150 should be discouraged from doing it.
4151 [Ben Laurie]
4152
4153 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
4154 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
4155 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
4156 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
4157 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
4158 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
4159 [Steve Henson]
4160
4161 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
4162 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
4163 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
4164
4165 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
4166 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
4167 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
4168
4169 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
4170 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
4171 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
4172 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
4173 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
4174 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
4175
4176 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
4177 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
4178 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
4179
4180 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
4181 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
4182 and vice versa.
4183
4184 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
4185 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
4186 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
4187 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
4188 [Steve Henson]
4189
4190 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
4191 [Steve Henson]
4192
4193 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
4194 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
4195 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
4196 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
4197 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
4198 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
4199 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
4200 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
4201 keys so we should be OK.
4202
4203 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
4204 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
4205 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
4206 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
4207 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
4208 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
4209 stay in the name of compatibility.
4210
4211 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
4212 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
4213 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
4214
4215 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
4216 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
4217 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
4218 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
4219 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
4220 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
4221 supplied key).
4222 [Steve Henson]
4223
4224 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
4225 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
4226 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
4227 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
4228 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
4229 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
4230 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
4231 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
4232 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
4233 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
4234 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
4235 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
4236 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
4237 [Steve Henson]
4238
4239 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
4240 [Steve Henson]
4241
4242 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
4243 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
4244 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
4245 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
4246 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
4247 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
4248 single self signed certificate. This means that:
4249 openssl verify ss.pem
4250 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
4251 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
4252 is OK.
4253 [Steve Henson]
4254
4255 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
4256 (and add it to external session representation).
4257 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
4258 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
4259 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
4260 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
4261 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
4262 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
4263 security holes.
4264 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
4265
4266 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
4267 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
4268 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
4269 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
4270
4271 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
4272 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
4273 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
4274 [Steve Henson]
4275
4276 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
4277 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
4278 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
4279 code.
4280 [Steve Henson]
4281
4282 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
4283 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
4284 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
4285
4286 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
4287 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
4288 certificate auxiliary information.
4289 [Steve Henson]
4290
4291 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
4292 the 'enc' command.
4293 [Steve Henson]
4294
4295 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
4296 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
4297 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
4298 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
4299 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
4300 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
4301 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
4302 [Richard Levitte]
4303
4304 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
4305 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
4306 [Steve Henson]
4307
4308 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
4309 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
4310 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
4311 manpages and fix a few bugs.
4312 [Steve Henson]
4313
4314 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
4315 [Steve Henson]
4316
4317 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
4318 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
4319 [Steve Henson]
4320
4321 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
4322 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
4323 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
4324 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
4325 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
4326 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
4327 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
4328 using the new 'x509' options.
4329
4330 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
4331 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
4332 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
4333 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
4334 for all purposes.
4335 [Steve Henson]
4336
4337 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
4338 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
4339 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
4340 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
4341 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
4342 [Mark Cox]
4343
4344 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
4345 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
4346 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
4347 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
4348 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
4349 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
4350 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
4351 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
4352 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
4353 the key length and effective key length are equal.
4354 [Steve Henson]
4355
4356 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
4357 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
4358 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
4359 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
4360 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
4361 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
4362 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
4363 [Steve Henson]
4364
4365 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
4366 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
4367 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
4368 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
4369 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
4370 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
4371 openssl.cnf for more info.
4372 [Steve Henson]
4373
4374 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
4375 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
4376 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
4377 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
4378 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
4379 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
4380 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
4381 md should be large enough anyway.
4382 [Bodo Moeller]
4383
4384 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
4385 for handling the random seed file.
4386
4387 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
4388 ca,
4389 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
4390 s_client,
4391 s_server,
4392 x509 (when signing).
4393 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
4394 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
4395 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
4396
4397 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
4398 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
4399 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
4400 that support '-rand'.
4401 [Bodo Moeller]
4402
4403 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
4404 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
4405 [Bodo Moeller]
4406
4407 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
4408 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
4409 [Bill Perry]
4410
4411 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
4412 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
4413 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
4414 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
4415 is suitable.
4416 [Steve Henson]
4417
4418 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
4419 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
4420 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
4421 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
4422 [Steve Henson]
4423
4424 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
4425 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
4426 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
4427 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
4428 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
4429 print out all the purposes.
4430 [Steve Henson]
4431
4432 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
4433 functions.
4434 [Steve Henson]
4435
4436 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
4437 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
4438 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
4439 single function call.
4440 [Steve Henson]
4441
4442 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
4443 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
4444 [Andy Polyakov]
4445
4446 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
4447 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
4448 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
4449 [Steve Henson]
4450
4451 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
4452 when producing the local key id.
4453 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4454
4455 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
4456 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
4457 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
4458 "server.pem".
4459 [Steve Henson]
4460
4461 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
4462 a public key to be input or output. For example:
4463 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
4464 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
4465 [Steve Henson]
4466
4467 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
4468 in the message. This was handled by allowing
4469 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
4470 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
4471
4472 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
4473 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
4474 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
4475 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4476
4477 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
4478 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
4479 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
4480 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
4481 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
4482 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
4483 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
4484 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
4485 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
4486 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
4487 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
4488 trivial: move one line.
4489 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
4490
4491 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
4492 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
4493 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
4494 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
4495 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
4496 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
4497 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
4498 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
4499 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
4500 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
4501 with an event loop for example.
4502 [Steve Henson]
4503
4504 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
4505 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
4506 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
4507 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
4508 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
4509 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
4510 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
4511 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
4512 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
4513 [Steve Henson]
4514
4515 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
4516 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
4517 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
4518 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
4519 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
4520 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
4521 [Steve Henson]
4522
4523 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
4524 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
4525 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
4526 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
4527
4528 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
4529 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
4530 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
4531 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
4532 key generation.
4533 [Steve Henson]
4534
4535 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
4536 (still largely untested)
4537 [Bodo Moeller]
4538
4539 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
4540 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
4541 [Steve Henson]
4542
4543 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
4544 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
4545 [Steve Henson]
4546
4547 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
4548 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
4549 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
4550 [Bodo Moeller]
4551
4552 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
4553 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
4554 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
4555 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
4556 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
4557 [Steve Henson]
4558
4559 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
4560 [Andy Polyakov]
4561
4562 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
4563 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
4564 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
4565 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
4566 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
4567 in ca.
4568 [Steve Henson]
4569
4570 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
4571 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
4572 1.OU="Unit name 1"
4573 2.OU="Unit name 2"
4574 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
4575 [Steve Henson]
4576
4577 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
4578 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
4579 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
4580 are otherwise ignored at present.
4581 [Steve Henson]
4582
4583 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
4584 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
4585 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
4586 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
4587 copied until the next read.
4588 [Steve Henson]
4589
4590 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
4591 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
4592 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
4593 [Steve Henson]
4594
4595 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
4596 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
4597 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
4598 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
4599 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
4600 associated functions.
4601 [Steve Henson]
4602
4603 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
4604 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
4605 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
4606 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
4607 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
4608 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
4609 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
4610 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
4611 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
4612 memory BIOs.
4613 [Steve Henson]
4614
4615 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
4616 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
4617 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
4618 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
4619 [Bodo Moeller]
4620
4621 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
4622 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
4623 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
4624 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
4625 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
4626 functionality.
4627 [Steve Henson]
4628
4629 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
4630 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
4631 under Win32.
4632 [Steve Henson]
4633
4634 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
4635 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
4636 extensions to be obtained and added.
4637 [Steve Henson]
4638
4639 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
4640 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
4641 [Bodo Moeller]
4642
4643 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
4644
4645 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
4646 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4647
4648 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
4649 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
4650
4651 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
4652 program.
4653 [Steve Henson]
4654
4655 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
4656 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
4657 DH parameters contain its length).
4658
4659 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
4660 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
4661 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
4662 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
4663 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
4664 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
4665 utter importance to use
4666 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
4667 or
4668 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
4669 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
4670 attacks may become possible!
4671 [Bodo Moeller]
4672
4673 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
4674 [Bodo Moeller]
4675
4676 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
4677 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
4678 [Steve Henson]
4679
4680 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
4681 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
4682 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
4683 or long name.
4684 [Steve Henson]
4685
4686 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
4687 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
4688 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
4689 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
4690 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
4691 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
4692 private key operations.
4693 [Steve Henson]
4694
4695 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
4696 [Andy Polyakov]
4697
4698 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
4699 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
4700 to
4701 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
4702 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
4703 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
4704 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
4705 the password callback is called.
4706 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
4707
4708 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
4709
4710 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
4711 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
4712 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
4713 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
4714 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
4715 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
4716 this will work.
4717
4718 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
4719 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
4720 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
4721 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
4722 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
4723 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
4724 [Bodo Moeller]
4725
4726 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
4727 [Andy Polyakov]
4728
4729 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
4730 delete an unused file.
4731 [Ulf Möller]
4732
4733 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
4734 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
4735 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
4736 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
4737 [Steve Henson]
4738
4739 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
4740 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
4741 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
4742 of an error.
4743 [Bodo Moeller]
4744
4745 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
4746 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
4747 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
4748
4749 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
4750 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
4751 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
4752 comparison" warnings.
4753 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
4754 [Steve Henson]
4755
4756 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
4757 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
4758 derived keys are printed to stderr.
4759 [Steve Henson]
4760
4761 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
4762 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
4763
4764 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
4765 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
4766
4767 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
4768 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
4769 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
4770
4771 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
4772 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
4773 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
4774 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
4775 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
4776 this bug.
4777 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
4778
4779 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
4780 The interface is as follows:
4781 Applications can use
4782 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
4783 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
4784 "off" is now the default.
4785 The library internally uses
4786 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
4787 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
4788 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
4789
4790 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
4791 even the default) are now avoided.
4792
4793 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
4794 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
4795 than just having a counter.
4796
4797 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
4798
4799 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
4800 extensions.
4801 [Bodo Moeller]
4802
4803 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
4804 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
4805 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
4806 Initial "mode" flags are:
4807
4808 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
4809 a single record has been written.
4810 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
4811 retries use the same buffer location.
4812 (But all of the contents must be
4813 copied!)
4814 [Bodo Moeller]
4815
4816 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
4817 worked.
4818
4819 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
4820 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
4821
4822 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
4823 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
4824 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
4825 [Steve Henson]
4826
4827 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
4828 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
4829 test programs.
4830 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
4831
4832 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
4833 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
4834 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
4835 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
4836 point to the end.
4837 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
4838 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
4839
4840 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
4841 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
4842 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
4843 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
4844 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
4845 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
4846 [Steve Henson]
4847
4848 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
4849 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
4850 necessary function names.
4851 [Steve Henson]
4852
4853 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
4854 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
4855 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
4856 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
4857 [Bodo Moeller]
4858
4859 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
4860 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
4861 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
4862 [Steve Henson]
4863
4864 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
4865 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
4866 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
4867 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
4868 such programs?)
4869 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
4870 need locks.
4871 [Bodo Moeller]
4872
4873 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
4874 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
4875 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
4876 [Bodo Moeller]
4877
4878 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
4879 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
4880 appropriate.
4881 [Bodo Moeller]
4882
4883 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
4884 for the encoded length.
4885 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
4886
4887 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
4888 [Steve Henson]
4889
4890 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
4891 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
4892 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
4893 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
4894 [Steve Henson]
4895
4896 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
4897 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
4898 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4899
4900 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
4901 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
4902 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
4903 unusual formatting.
4904 [Steve Henson]
4905
4906 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
4907 to use the new extension code.
4908 [Steve Henson]
4909
4910 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
4911 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
4912 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
4913 constant.
4914 [Steve Henson]
4915
4916 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
4917 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
4918 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
4919 [Bodo Moeller]
4920
4921 #if 0
4922 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
4923 [Ben Laurie]
4924 #else
4925 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
4926 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
4927 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
4928 #endif
4929
4930 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
4931 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
4932 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
4933 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
4934 [Ben Laurie]
4935
4936 *) DES library cleanups.
4937 [Ulf Möller]
4938
4939 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
4940 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
4941 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
4942 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
4943 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
4944 of v2.0.
4945 [Steve Henson]
4946
4947 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
4948 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
4949 [Bodo Moeller]
4950
4951 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
4952 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
4953 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
4954 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
4955 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
4956 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
4957 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
4958 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
4959 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
4960 [Steve Henson]
4961
4962 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
4963 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
4964 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
4965 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
4966 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
4967 value doesn't matter.
4968 [Steve Henson]
4969
4970 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
4971 support mutable.
4972 [Ben Laurie]
4973
4974 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
4975 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
4976 "linux-sparc" configuration.
4977 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
4978
4979 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
4980 [Ulf Möller]
4981
4982 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
4983 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
4984 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4985
4986 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
4987 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4988
4989 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
4990 [Ben Laurie]
4991
4992 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
4993 [Ben Laurie]
4994
4995 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
4996 [Ben Laurie]
4997
4998 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
4999 [Bodo Moeller]
5000
5001
5002 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
5003
5004 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
5005
5006 *) Updated some demos.
5007 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
5008
5009 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
5010 [Wu Zhigang]
5011
5012 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
5013 [Steve Henson]
5014
5015 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
5016 [Steve Henson]
5017
5018 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
5019 instead of using a fixed path.
5020 [Bodo Moeller]
5021
5022 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
5023 [Andy Polyakov]
5024
5025 *) Improvements for VMS support.
5026 [Richard Levitte]
5027
5028
5029 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
5030
5031 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
5032 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
5033 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5034
5035 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
5036 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
5037 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
5038 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
5039 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
5040 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
5041 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
5042 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
5043 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
5044 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
5045 [Steve Henson]
5046
5047 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
5048 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
5049 [Steve Henson]
5050
5051 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
5052 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
5053 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
5054 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
5055 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
5056
5057 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
5058 [Bodo Moeller]
5059
5060 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
5061 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
5062 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
5063 [Steve Henson]
5064
5065 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
5066 [Ben Laurie]
5067
5068 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
5069 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
5070 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
5071 key elements as negative integers.
5072 [Steve Henson]
5073
5074 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
5075 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5076
5077 *) VMS support.
5078 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
5079
5080 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
5081 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
5082 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
5083 [Steve Henson]
5084
5085 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
5086 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
5087 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
5088 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
5089 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
5090 [Bodo Moeller]
5091
5092 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
5093 [Ulf Möller]
5094
5095 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
5096 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
5097 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
5098 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5099
5100 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
5101 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
5102 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
5103
5104 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
5105 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
5106 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
5107 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
5108 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
5109 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
5110 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
5111 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
5112 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
5113
5114 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
5115 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
5116 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
5117 does not influence s as it used to.
5118
5119 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
5120 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
5121 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
5122 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
5123 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
5124 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
5125 [Bodo Moeller]
5126
5127 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
5128 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
5129 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
5130 key type.
5131 [Steve Henson]
5132
5133 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
5134 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
5135 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
5136 and 'x509').
5137 [Steve Henson]
5138
5139 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
5140 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
5141 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
5142 extension option.
5143 [Steve Henson]
5144
5145 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
5146 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
5147 [Ben Laurie]
5148
5149 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
5150 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
5151
5152 *) Support Mingw32.
5153 [Ulf Möller]
5154
5155 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
5156 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5157
5158 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
5159 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5160
5161 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
5162 [Ulf Möller]
5163
5164 *) Update HPUX configuration.
5165 [Anonymous]
5166
5167 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
5168 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5169
5170 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
5171 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
5172 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
5173 DER-encoded.)
5174 [Bodo Moeller]
5175
5176 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
5177 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
5178 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
5179 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
5180 now it really counts the depth.
5181 [Bodo Moeller]
5182
5183 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
5184 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
5185 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
5186 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
5187 didn't match the private key).
5188
5189 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
5190 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
5191 connection using the SSL_CTX).
5192 [Bodo Moeller]
5193
5194 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
5195 [Ulf Möller]
5196
5197 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
5198 David Harris.
5199 [Bodo Moeller]
5200
5201 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
5202 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
5203 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
5204 [Bodo Moeller]
5205
5206 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
5207 [Bodo Moeller]
5208
5209 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
5210 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
5211 such as /usr/local/bin.
5212 [Bodo Moeller]
5213
5214 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
5215 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
5216
5217 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
5218 [Ulf Möller]
5219
5220 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
5221 extension adding in x509 utility.
5222 [Steve Henson]
5223
5224 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
5225 [Ulf Möller]
5226
5227 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
5228 prototypes.
5229 [Steve Henson]
5230
5231 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
5232 [Ulf Möller]
5233
5234 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
5235 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
5236 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
5237 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
5238 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
5239 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
5240 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
5241 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
5242 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
5243 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
5244 [Steve Henson]
5245
5246 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
5247 [Bodo Moeller]
5248
5249 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
5250 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
5251 [Bodo Moeller]
5252
5253 *) Fix some race conditions.
5254 [Bodo Moeller]
5255
5256 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
5257 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
5258 [Steve Henson]
5259
5260 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
5261 [Ulf Möller]
5262
5263 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
5264 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
5265 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
5266 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
5267
5268 *) Fix lots of warnings.
5269 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5270
5271 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
5272 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
5273 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5274
5275 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
5276 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5277
5278 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
5279 [Ulf Möller]
5280
5281 *) Fix typos in error codes.
5282 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
5283
5284 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
5285 [Ulf Möller]
5286
5287 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
5288 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5289
5290 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
5291 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
5292 [Steve Henson]
5293
5294 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
5295 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
5296 [Ben Laurie]
5297
5298 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
5299 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
5300 [Steve Henson]
5301
5302 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
5303 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
5304 [Steve Henson]
5305
5306 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
5307 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
5308 [Steve Henson]
5309
5310 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
5311 support typesafe stack.
5312 [Steve Henson]
5313
5314 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
5315 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
5316
5317 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
5318 old X509V3 handling code.
5319 [Steve Henson]
5320
5321 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
5322 [Ulf Möller]
5323
5324 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
5325 [Bodo Moeller]
5326
5327 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
5328 [Ben Laurie]
5329
5330 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
5331 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
5332
5333 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
5334 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
5335 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
5336 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
5337 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
5338 [Ben Laurie]
5339
5340 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
5341 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
5342 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
5343 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
5344 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
5345
5346 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
5347 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
5348 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
5349 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5350
5351 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
5352 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
5353 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
5354 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5355
5356 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
5357 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
5358 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
5359 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
5360 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
5361 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
5362 [Bodo Moeller]
5363
5364 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
5365 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
5366 [Bodo Moeller]
5367
5368 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
5369 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
5370 [Ulf Möller]
5371
5372 *) Tweaks to Configure
5373 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
5374
5375 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
5376 yet...
5377 [Steve Henson]
5378
5379 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
5380 [Ulf Möller]
5381
5382 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
5383 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
5384 [Ulf Möller]
5385
5386 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
5387 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
5388 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
5389 [Bodo Moeller]
5390
5391 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
5392 [Bodo Moeller]
5393
5394 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
5395 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
5396 [Steve Henson]
5397
5398 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
5399 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
5400 to library startup routines.
5401 [Steve Henson]
5402
5403 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
5404 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
5405 codes along the way.
5406 [Steve Henson]
5407
5408 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
5409 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
5410 objects to objects.h
5411 [Steve Henson]
5412
5413 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
5414 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
5415 [Steve Henson]
5416
5417 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
5418 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
5419
5420 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
5421 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
5422 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
5423
5424 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
5425 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
5426 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5427
5428 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
5429 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
5430 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
5431
5432
5433 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
5434
5435 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
5436 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
5437 [Ben Laurie]
5438
5439 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
5440 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
5441 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
5442 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
5443 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
5444
5445 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
5446 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
5447 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
5448 document.
5449 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5450
5451 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
5452 Malloc, Free.
5453 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
5454
5455 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
5456 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5457
5458 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
5459 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
5460 if someone would make that last step automatic.
5461 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
5462
5463 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
5464 [Ben Laurie]
5465
5466 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
5467 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
5468 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
5469 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
5470 [Steve Henson]
5471
5472 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
5473 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
5474 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
5475 [Steve Henson]
5476
5477 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
5478 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
5479 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
5480 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
5481 installed as `perl').
5482 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
5483
5484 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
5485 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
5486
5487 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
5488 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
5489 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
5490 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
5491 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
5492 [Steve Henson]
5493
5494 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
5495 [Ben Laurie]
5496
5497 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
5498 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
5499 is horrible: I feel ill....
5500 [Steve Henson]
5501
5502 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
5503 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
5504 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
5505 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
5506 [Steve Henson]
5507
5508 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
5509 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5510
5511 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
5512 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
5513 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
5514 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5515
5516 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
5517 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
5518 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
5519 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
5520 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
5521 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
5522 openssl_bio.xs.
5523 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5524
5525 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
5526 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
5527
5528 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
5529 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
5530
5531 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
5532 [Ben Laurie]
5533
5534 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
5535 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
5536 in CRLs.
5537 [Steve Henson]
5538
5539 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
5540 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
5541 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
5542 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
5543 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
5544 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
5545 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
5546 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
5547 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
5548 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
5549 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5550
5551 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
5552 [Ben Laurie]
5553
5554 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
5555 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
5556 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
5557 for linking it into DSOs.
5558 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5559
5560 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
5561 Fixed.
5562 [Ben Laurie]
5563
5564 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
5565 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
5566 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
5567 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
5568 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
5569 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5570
5571 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
5572 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
5573 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
5574 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
5575 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
5576 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
5577 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5578
5579 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
5580 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
5581 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
5582 encryption.
5583 [Ben Laurie]
5584
5585 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
5586 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
5587 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
5588 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
5589 [Steve Henson]
5590
5591 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
5592 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
5593 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
5594 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
5595 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
5596 field as blank.
5597 [Steve Henson]
5598
5599 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
5600 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
5601 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
5602 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
5603 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5604
5605 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
5606 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
5607 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
5608
5609 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
5610 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
5611
5612 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
5613 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
5614 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
5615 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
5616 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
5617 [Steve Henson]
5618
5619 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
5620 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
5621 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
5622 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
5623 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
5624 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
5625 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
5626 [Ben Laurie]
5627
5628 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
5629 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
5630 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
5631 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
5632 [Ben Laurie]
5633
5634 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
5635 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
5636
5637 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
5638 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
5639 [Steve Henson]
5640
5641 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
5642 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
5643 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
5644 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
5645 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
5646 (e.g. s_server).
5647 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
5648 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
5649 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
5650 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
5651 no way to reconfigure them.
5652 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
5653 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
5654 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
5655 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
5656 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
5657 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5658
5659 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
5660 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
5661 recognized by the users.
5662 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5663
5664 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
5665 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
5666 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
5667 already masked variable.
5668 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5669
5670 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
5671 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5672
5673 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
5674 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
5675 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
5676 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5677
5678 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
5679 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
5680 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5681
5682 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
5683 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
5684 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
5685 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
5686 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
5687 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
5688 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
5689 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
5690 now, too.
5691 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5692
5693 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
5694 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
5695 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5696
5697 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
5698 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
5699 config file.
5700 [Steve Henson]
5701
5702 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
5703 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
5704
5705 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
5706 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
5707 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
5708 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
5709 [Ben Laurie]
5710
5711 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
5712 [Steve Henson]
5713
5714 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
5715 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5716
5717 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
5718 [Ben Laurie]
5719
5720 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
5721 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
5722 [Steve Henson]
5723
5724 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
5725 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
5726 [Steve Henson]
5727
5728 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
5729 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
5730 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
5731 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
5732 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
5733 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
5734 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
5735 Ben Laurie]
5736
5737 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
5738 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5739
5740 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
5741 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
5742 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
5743 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
5744 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5745
5746 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
5747 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
5748 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
5749 [Steve Henson]
5750
5751 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
5752 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
5753 an example.
5754 [Steve Henson]
5755
5756 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
5757 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
5758 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
5759
5760 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
5761 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
5762 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
5763 build instructions.
5764 [Steve Henson]
5765
5766 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
5767 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
5768 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
5769 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
5770 [Steve Henson]
5771
5772 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
5773 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
5774 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
5775 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
5776 [Ben Laurie]
5777
5778 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
5779 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
5780 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
5781 so it wasn't spotted.
5782 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
5783
5784 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
5785 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
5786 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
5787 vectors if you have them.
5788 [Ben Laurie]
5789
5790 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
5791 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
5792 [Ben Laurie]
5793
5794 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
5795 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
5796 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
5797 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
5798 If you do a:
5799 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
5800 it will update them.
5801 [Steve Henson]
5802
5803 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
5804 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
5805 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
5806 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
5807 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
5808 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
5809 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
5810 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5811
5812 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
5813 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
5814 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
5815 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
5816 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
5817 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
5818 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
5819 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
5820 the crypto/md/ stuff).
5821 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5822
5823 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
5824 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
5825 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
5826 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
5827 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
5828 [Steve Henson]
5829
5830 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
5831 INTEGER code.
5832 [Steve Henson]
5833
5834 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
5835 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5836
5837 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
5838 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
5839
5840 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
5841 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
5842 [Ben Laurie]
5843
5844 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
5845 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
5846
5847 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
5848 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
5849
5850 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
5851 [Steve Henson]
5852
5853 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
5854 few typos.
5855 [Steve Henson]
5856
5857 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
5858 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
5859 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
5860 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5861
5862 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
5863 [Steve Henson]
5864
5865 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
5866 [Steve Henson]
5867
5868 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
5869 [Steve Henson]
5870
5871 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
5872 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
5873 [Steve Henson]
5874
5875 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
5876 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
5877 CA extensions.
5878 [Steve Henson]
5879
5880 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
5881 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
5882 [Steve Henson]
5883
5884 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
5885 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
5886 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
5887 [Steve Henson]
5888
5889 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
5890 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
5891 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
5892 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
5893 properly to be processed.
5894 [Steve Henson]
5895
5896 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
5897 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
5898 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
5899 [Ben Laurie]
5900
5901 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
5902 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
5903
5904 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
5905 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
5906 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
5907 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
5908 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
5909 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
5910 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
5911 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
5912 or delete all the .err files.
5913 [Steve Henson]
5914
5915 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
5916 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
5917 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
5918 to regenerate it if needed.
5919 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
5920 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
5921
5922 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
5923 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5924
5925 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
5926 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
5927 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
5928 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
5929 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
5930 [Steve Henson]
5931
5932 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
5933 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5934
5935 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
5936 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5937
5938 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
5939 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
5940 error, but didn't set one).
5941 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5942
5943 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
5944 [Ben Laurie]
5945
5946 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
5947 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
5948 [Steve Henson]
5949
5950 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
5951 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
5952
5953 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
5954 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
5955 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
5956 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
5957 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
5958 OID is not part of the table.
5959 [Steve Henson]
5960
5961 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
5962 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
5963 [Ben Laurie]
5964
5965 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
5966 [Ben Laurie]
5967
5968 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
5969 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
5970 was "1234").
5971 [Steve Henson]
5972
5973 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
5974 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
5975
5976 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
5977 NULL pointers.
5978 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5979
5980 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
5981 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
5982
5983 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
5984 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
5985
5986 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
5987 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5988
5989 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
5990 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
5991 [Ben Laurie]
5992
5993 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
5994 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
5995 [Steve Henson]
5996
5997 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
5998 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5999
6000 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
6001 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6002
6003 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
6004 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6005
6006 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
6007 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6008
6009 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
6010 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
6011 unused in the certificate verification process.
6012 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6013
6014 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
6015 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
6016 [Steve Henson]
6017
6018 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
6019 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
6020 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
6021
6022 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
6023 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
6024 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
6025 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
6026 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
6027
6028 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
6029 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
6030 [Steve Henson]
6031
6032 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
6033 [Steve Henson]
6034
6035 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
6036 [Paul Sutton]
6037
6038 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
6039 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
6040
6041 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
6042 [Ben Laurie]
6043
6044 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
6045 [Ben Laurie]
6046
6047 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
6048 [Ben Laurie]
6049
6050 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
6051 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
6052 other error libraries.
6053 [Steve Henson]
6054
6055 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
6056 [Steve Henson]
6057
6058 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
6059 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
6060 be read in.
6061 [Steve Henson]
6062
6063 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
6064 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
6065 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
6066 the new set of documenation files.
6067 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6068
6069 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
6070 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
6071 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
6072 number of arguments.
6073 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
6074
6075 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
6076 [Ben Laurie]
6077
6078 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
6079 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
6080 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6081
6082 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
6083 [Ben Laurie]
6084
6085 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
6086 nextstep
6087 ncr-scde
6088 unixware-2.0
6089 unixware-2.0-pentium
6090 sco5-cc.
6091 [Ben Laurie]
6092
6093 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
6094 before they are needed.
6095 [Ben Laurie]
6096
6097 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
6098 [Ben Laurie]
6099
6100
6101 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
6102
6103 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
6104 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
6105 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6106
6107 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
6108 [Paul Sutton]
6109
6110 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
6111 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
6112 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6113
6114 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
6115 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
6116 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
6117
6118 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
6119 when "ssleay" is still not found.
6120 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6121
6122 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
6123 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
6124
6125 *) Updated the README file.
6126 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6127
6128 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
6129 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
6130 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6131
6132 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
6133 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
6134 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6135
6136 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
6137 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
6138 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
6139 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
6140 o removed obsolete TODO file
6141 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
6142 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6143
6144 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
6145 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
6146 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
6147 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
6148 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
6149 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
6150 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6151
6152 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
6153 [Mark J. Cox]
6154
6155 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
6156 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
6157 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
6158 summer 1998.
6159 [The OpenSSL Project]
6160
6161
6162 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
6163
6164 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
6165 [Eric A. Young]
6166
6167 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
6168 [Eric A. Young]
6169
6170 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
6171 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
6172 [Eric A. Young]
6173
6174 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
6175 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
6176 available).
6177 [Eric A. Young]
6178
6179 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
6180 binary structures
6181 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
6182
6183 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
6184 [Eric A. Young]
6185
6186 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
6187 [Eric A. Young]
6188
6189 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
6190 [Eric A. Young]
6191
6192 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
6193 [Eric A. Young]
6194
6195 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
6196 [Eric A. Young]
6197
6198 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
6199 [Eric A. Young]
6200
6201 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
6202 [Eric A. Young]
6203
6204 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
6205 [Eric A. Young]
6206
6207 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
6208 [Eric A. Young]
6209
6210 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
6211 [Eric A. Young]
6212
6213 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
6214 [Eric A. Young]
6215
6216 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
6217 [Eric A. Young]
6218
6219 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
6220 [Eric A. Young]
6221
6222 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
6223 [Eric A. Young]
6224
6225 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
6226 [Eric A. Young]
6227
6228 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
6229 [Eric A. Young]
6230
6231 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
6232 [Eric A. Young]
6233
6234 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
6235 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
6236 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
6237 [Eric A. Young]
6238
6239 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
6240 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
6241 [Eric A. Young]
6242
6243 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
6244 [Eric A. Young]
6245
6246 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
6247 [Eric A. Young]
6248
6249 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
6250 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
6251 [Eric A. Young]
6252
6253 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
6254 [Eric A. Young]
6255
6256 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
